    Jeet Heer Retweeted Adam Shatz

    It has to be understood that Israeli nationalism has been built not only on the dispossession of Palestinians but also the state-sponsored eradication of alternative Jewish identities (Mizrahi and Yiddish culture, to name two).https://twitter.com/adamshatz/status/1104416042670088192 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    Adam Shatz @adamshatz
    This remarkable story of how Yemeni (and other Mizrahi) children were declared dead by Israeli authorities and placed in Ashkenazi families suggests the lengths to which the state went to cut off Arab Jewry’s ties to their region and culture. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2019/02/20/world/middleeast/israel-yemenite-children-affair.amp.html …

        My mom's brother and sister are one of those kids who were kidnapped. Haven't found them to this very day. Her father took them to the hospital, they told him they have to stay the night, showed up in the morning, they're "dead". No bodies. No grave. "Go home" they told him.

        Careful Jeet, some conservative might call you antisemitic for pointing out these facts.

        Er, I don’t think most Israelis are angry at *israel* for the eradication of Yiddish culture

        Maybe not "most Israelis" but certainly some Jews.https://twitter.com/TonyKaron/status/1104441144799346688 …

        The nationalist social engineering project sought not only to erase Arab Jewish cultures (cc @mhayoun), it also sought to erase the Yiddish language https://twitter.com/adamshatz/status/1104416042670088192 …

        What’s on this thread is the worst of what happened; for a more nuanced view from Mizrachi folks today, see JIMENA

        Quoting a well known ally to far-right extremists making a nakedly dishonest argument is really quite the display of your own bigotry and ignorance.
