Relatedly, Yazd has the biggest Zoroastrian population in the world, and the second biggest Mizrahim population outside of Israel (the biggest Mizrahim population outside of Israel is in Tehran.) But like most of Iran it’s majority Shia Muslim, and has some GORGEOUS mosques.

I guarantee the people who ask this question believe every Jew is Ashkenazi and have never heard of Mizrahim.
Out of all the arguments about Israel and Israelis, the “they’re stealing Palestinian cuisine” always strikes me as the weirdest and weakest
What exactly do you think the Mizrahi Jews ate?

A lot of the shitty kind of Israel critique basically just ignores the existence of Mizrahim

This *does* remind me of this one time I was in Israel
5 old heads were arguing - 4 Mizrahim and 1 clear Ashkenazi
Mizrahim: *passionate arguing*
Ashkenazi: *nodding*
Mizrahim: You going to get in here with that cool Euro blood, or let us all kill each other?
Reader, I nearly spat out my tea

making everybody in the world mad by calling Mizrahim "Arab Jews" and then using them as an example of why Arabs have equal rights

After the Iranian revolution, they did go after the Jews of Iran, most of whom have now emigrated, many to Israel. They joined the mizrahim, Jewish refugees from other Islamic countries, who are some of Netanyahu's staunchest supporters.

There's this talking point that there is no such thing as Israeli cuisine & it's all stolen from other Levantine cultures. (Posters learn who Mizrahim are challenge. Difficulty: impossible)
This a reference to that claim, modified to be facially ridiculous.

You know babka is good because it's an Ashkenazi food that even Mizrahim will claim

The tendency by many leftists to either assert that every Israeli Jew is a European colonialist, or else to exoticize Mizrahim as "good" Middle Eastern Jews against those "bad" colonialist Ashkenazim, is maddening. You can't understand Israeli politics without understanding the Mizrahi expulsions.

It is true that for most of Jewish history, Jewish peoplehood was not taken to imply a Jewish majoritarian nation-state in Palestine. The connection between peoplehood and statehood is worth interrogating. And there is plenty to say about the relationship of Ashkenazim and Mizrahim in early Zionism.

Have you informed the Mizrahim and Sephardim of this?

this is disconnected from the question of whether mizrahim and Palestinians are related which: obviously.

The way that an eventual right of return scheme would probably work is compensation for Palestinian refugees and also compensation for Mizrahim (even if paid for primarily by the Gulf states rather than the much poorer countries most Mizrahim came from).

And since the late 70s to mid 80s, this has come with a *substantial* side of cultural appropriation of Ashkenazim religious imagery (yes, it's always Ashkenazim, almost never Sephardim or Mizrahim or Beta Israel) and, increasingly, fetishisation over the HIgh Holidays themselves

a perennial obsession of anti-semites is the attempt to find 'real Jews' who can be used to attack other Jews. It's the role that Neturei Karta plays for a chunk of the British left too. But picking Mizrahim given actually existing Israeli politics is a real know-nothing sign.
This is always a pretty easy tell for "does not actually understand Israel/Palestine outside of memes." I don't think anyone could look at the political currents of Israel and argue that the Mizrahi are somehow the people who will find common cause with the Arabs...

Rome scattered Jews before there were Ashkenazim, Sephardim or Mizrahim.

Call a Mizrahim an Arab and then duck, or else you're waking up on the floor
Do people realize the average Likud voter is a working class Mizrahim individual who has some very developed opinions on Arabs, and their family's history with them
Its the Ashkenazim usually calling for coexistence lol
