Who should you vote for in the school board election? It’s an easy (and important) call: Sarah Clark, Joe Mizrahi, Vivian Song, Jen LaVallee. The progressive parents who organized austerity recommend that slate: www.alltogetherforseattleschools.org/home/electio...

Don't forget: "The largest Jewish ethnic group in Israel, about 40% to 45% of the country’s total population, is called Mizrahi, which means “Eastern” in Hebrew. Mizrahi Jews’ ancestors hailed from Jewish communities in the Middle East, including Israel itself."

Gurvitz was not at all Alon Mizrahi (they hated each other, going back to when Mizrahi was a right-wing Holocaust justificationist defining himself against the Israeli left).

(and of course in the Israeli national registry it isn't "Ashkenazi Jew" and "Mizrahi Jew" and "Arab" and "Druze" it's Jew, Arab, Druze etc)/

As the Haaretz article I linked points out, israeli colonizers face discrimination if they do not Hebraize their names, or if their names are recognizably Sephardi or Mizrahi rather than Ashkenazi. Colonial ideologies seek to erase even the history and names of colonizers, not just their victims.

As I've said, the eventual ruling coalition of the Confederated States of Palestine and Eretz Yisrael will be the post-Hamas Muslim Brotherhood party, the Haredi Parties, Hadash-Taal, and a party led by a Mizrahi pop star whose platform is best described as "graft?!?"

I don't understand why the "anti Zionist" left is so obsessed with demonizing Ashkenazi Jews. Our communities are quite similar. We have slightly different minhagim from Sephardi Jews but other than that we are fundamentally the same community.

Same with Mizrahi Jews & Beta Israel.

Modern Hebrew is *mostly* Mizrahi pronunciation (in part because Ashkenazi Hebraists had self-confidence issues) with a few very blatant concessions to Ashkenazi pronunciation (mostly the pronunciation of /r/, /ħ/, and /ʕ/ - each of which is still 'correct' if pronounced in the Mizrahi way)

I don't know about president but if we elected Isaac Mizrahi to Congress, he could bring back his amazing "Sketches & Answers" segment from his talk show for town halls.

(I just really loved that segment and think about it often, because it was so cool.)
i’m just so mad because if we absolutely had to elect an unqualified media personality to be president we should have gone with either of the guys from CAR TALK

Fascinating erasure here of Mizrahi Jews by a chef who led the boycott an Israeli-owned Mediterranean restaurant in D.C.

The notion that Jews are all white people from Europe requires a willful ignorance, especially from someone steeped in Israel/Palestine.

Zionist Israel is a theocratic ethno-state, and no one has a right to a theocratic ethno-state. Zionist Israel isn't just set up against non-Jewish people. It is also deeply racist even against Jewish people who aren't white. So there's that too.

I gotta get back to work, but I wanna end with this couple of anecdotes from the article I linked from Forward. First one is about a Mizrahi settler having their classroom name changed by a teacher in israel. Second one is about how name changes can be very direct forms of colonization and erasure.

5. Pero el término “Mizrahí” no es bíblico ni tradicional. Significa literalmente “oriental” y fue creado por los judíos ashkenazí europeos en Israel para clasificar a los judíos no europeos que llegaban del norte de África y Asia Occidental.👇🏻

50% of Jews in Israel are mizrahi. Doesn't fit the "white settlers from Europe" trope, does it? Never mind why Jews came from Europe, or that they are indigenous to the area. "Jews in the 20s bombed Europe" is also ... quite a take.

Are you saying that the Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews, who largely reside in Israel, are a danger to the Ashkenazi Jews who largely reside in America?

Says the anonymous person to the Jewish anthropologist. Garbage twit. There are two million Arabs and ethnic Palestians in Israel today, not even including Mizrahi Jews. How many Jews are left in the Arab world, Cracker?

Jews as a group seem to be most closely related to other Levantine populations.

These patterns match up with what we know of history so it’s not that surprising.

As for why we know most Israelis have Mizrahi and Sephardi ancestry; it’s pretty simple.
