#ruppin — Public Fediverse posts

@aral Many scholars argue that (the main stream of) Zionism reproduced the logic of European antisemitism, and the idea of the “new Jew” is central to that mindset. This outlook carried over into Israel proper; there is little doubt Israeli society is racist, both within Jewish communities and, especially, toward Arabs. But unlike pathological Christian European antisemitism, it’s probably an aspect of Western Jews’ sense of failed integration after emancipation (#antisemitism did not subside). People like Herzl and Ruppin did infact believe they are superior Jews and keepers of the old tradition even when they assimilated. #Herzl wanted to convert Eastern European Jews to Christianity but not himself and #Ruppin believed only German Jews were racially pure.

@yisraeldov You don't know who's Arthur #Ruppin I understand. I wonder why the Israeli education system hides the most famous Zionist Ashkenazi eugenicist...

#Jews who speak #Yiddish are Eastern Jews. It has nothing to do with what you believe. The two cultures were completely separated for centuries, and the only "Ashkenazi" part is the style of reading the Torah. In Israel, Polish, Russian and other Eastern Jews started referring to themselves as Ashkenazim. You know very well that in Israel even today, Russian immigrants are not considered Ashkenazi.

Anyway, I guess Orientalization is still an ongoing process..

Highly recommended read if you want to know why you're so offended being called an Eastern Jew.
