Is "Israel" The Last White Supremacist State?
Or is the charge of "white supremacy," against Israel, just another "antisemitic" attack?
Is it a duck?
Back in the year 2012, a firestorm was created around then Israeli Interior Minister, Eli Yishai. Since that time, a statement that he made has been analyzed and re-analyzed, some saying that the statement was an openly racist statement—an admission/declaration, by a highly-placed Israeli government official, that the State of Israel perceived itself as an ethno-State, created only for Euros (otherwise known as “White people”), with the “Chosen People of God” motif added to sanctify and justify White supremacy, Jewish style.
The opposing view says that Yishai’s words were purposely taken out of context by “antisemitic” haters of the State of Israel. Which view reflects truth? Well, before examining this, here’s my two cents: If the State of Israel doesn’t officially perceive itself as a White, ethno-State, then by its actions it certainly strongly appears to be one.
The fact that the people who migrated to Israel from Europe, who are called Ashkenazi Jews, and whose ancestors, as even Israel’s own Jewish scholars, such as Dr. Schlomo Sand, Dr. Eran Elhaik, and Arthur Koestler admitted, were converts to Judaism [See my Substack article, Are the Jews…..well…..Jews?], not lineal-descendants of the Hebrews/Jews who’ve lived in Israel for thousands of years, as well as the fact that they imposed a brutal apartheid State which relegates Palestinians to the position of despised and unwanted foreigners in their own land, pretty much makes the case for the Israel-is-a-White-supremacist-State crowd. In short:
What was the root controversy?
In the year 2012, Israel enacted a law allowing authorities to detain illegal migrants for up to 3 years. See this July 3, 2012 article in Haaretz, a major news organ of Israel. The first paragraph of the article pretty much sums up the trigger that caused the law:
Personally, I have no problem whatsoever supporting a government’s right to block illegal immigration to its country. We have a massive illegal immigrant problem in my country, the United States, at this very moment. And I am opposed to the way that the federal government is mis-handling it—a big story for another time that includes the belief, by some, that the flooding of millions of illegal immigrants across U.S. borders is a purposefully orchestrated event designed by globalists to destroy—literally—the nation state, or civilizational state, as both a geographic reality, as well as a philosophy based on time-honored principles that include traditional, family, and religious/spiritual values..
But the State of Israel’s entire history, from Day 1 until this very day, has been a history of racism, segregation, apartheid, supremacy, and open, severe brutality—physical, psychological, and emotional brutality—against the Palestinian people. And when you confirm your practices of segregation, apartheid and brutality by dropping 2,000-pound bombs on non-combatant, innocent Palestinian men, women and children; on their schools; on their hospitals; on their universities; on their dwellings; even totally destroying the graveyards of the Palestinian dead; when you cut them off from food and water, and when the result of that is a starvation of the Palestinian people that YOU purposely caused, then,
I encourage the reader to read the Haaretz article in full, so that you won’t be “prejudiced” by anything in my article. Always make your own judgements. The last paragraph of the article reads as follows:
Did Interior Minister Yishai mean what he said? As I stated before, some Jews say that his words were “taken out of context,” or misinterpreted. Others claim WYSIWYG, i.e., What You See Is What You Get.”
Eli Yishai’s entire statement
The interview of Interior Minister Yishai was conducted by Maariv, a Hebrew-language daily newspaper published in Israel. And that’s part of the issue. Those who claim that Yishai was not making a racist statement say that his statement was misinterpreted due to a “misunderstanding” of the Hebrew language. Well, I’m wondering how on earth did Haaretz, a major Israeli newspaper, “misunderstand” the Hebrew language interview conducted by Maariv with Yishai. But, let’s go with it.
I’ve attempted to find the edition of Maariv which published its interview with Yishai, and I’ve failed. I had assumed that there was an English version translation of Maariv. Well, if there is, I simply could not find it. So, the best I could try to do is attempt to find some source, in English, that could offer some details about the issue. I ran across this article at israellycool.com, a blog which appears to be a fierce, pro-Zionist, pro-State of Israel blog and claims to be “the largest English-language blog in Israel, and one of the largest focused on Israel in the world.”
You may read the article yourselves, of course. I’ll just try, here, to get to their central argument, in which they claim that Yishai’s words were taken out of context, in part, it seems, as a result of a lack of understanding of the Hebrew language. Again: How Haaretz, and other major Israeli news organs that also reported on what Yishai had said, would have had some problem understanding the Hebrew language is simply beyond me.
Of course, since Israel, I suppose it’s to be admitted, has had a “liberal/conservative” division in its country [One, since October 7th, that appears to have vanished, leaving only an ultra-Zionist, ultra-conservative strain in society], then perhaps Haaretz’s “misunderstanding” was based on Haaretz’s stance as a liberal news organ [?] Anyway, let’s roll.
David Lange, the author of the article at israellycool.com offers the following about what was reported in Maariv concerning what Interior Minister Yishai had said.

Uhhhhhhhh…..Weeeeeeeell…. Okay, let’s go with this. FIRST QUESTION: If, as he said, the African Muslims were saying that Israel did not belong to the White man, they were obviously expressing two things:
Their perception that the State of Israel believes just that: that Israel belongs only to White folks.
Their defiance, meaning that, to African Muslims who were trying to find a better life (many of them, no doubt, going to Israel as a stepping stone to travel FURTHER to Europe), that Israel could shove it. African Muslims were determined to do whatever they had to do to get to Israel, no matter what Israel thought of itself. What caused them to say that, hum? What impression had they had of Israel, before migrating there, and what was the source that caused them to have such an impression. The source was Israel itself.
Yes, they wanted to leave oppressive conditions they’d experienced in Sudan, Eritrea, elsewhere, of course. But they were NOT STUPID. They were attempting to find better conditions, but they were not naive, and understood what the deal was in the State of Israel. Something had caused them to have a perception of Israel, long before they arrived there, as a country that believed that it was created by, and operated for, “the White man.” What caused their impression that that’s how the State of Israel perceived itself? The answer is obvious. Or, as the young folks would put it,
What intelligent person didn’t know how Israel was created; who it was created for; and how it treated its Palestinian citizens? If we accept Lange’s version that Yishai was not expressing his perception of Israel, but, rather, was expressing the perception of Israel that was held by African Muslim immigrants, then, again, Duh! In short? Does it even matter whether or not the perception of Israel as a racist, supremacist, apartheid state “for the White man,” or, for that matter, “only for Jews,” was a perception expressed by Sudanese and Eritrean Africans, or by then Interior Minister Yishai? Hell naw!!!
To use the lingo of my people, African-Americans, eebody and dey MAMMA knows that the State of Israel is a racist, supremacist, apartheid State. It’s own leaders, as testified to by South Africans at the ICJ, have described Palestinians as less than human. That’s even WORSE than being racist and supremacist!! Hell, hate my guts, I don’t care. But when you start perceiving me as less than human, don’t be surprised that, when you show up at my crib, the first thing you see is a Glock 19 aimed at your head.
I am the most peaceful individual that I know (Uh, that might not be saying much, incidentally). But, if you are a person who has so little care for your fellow human beings that you would consider a section of humanity as “less than human,” then you are simply, potentially a dangerous motherf***er, never to be trusted until you change.
So to answer the question in the title of this article, Yes. Israel is what most of us, I would think (if we’re honest), would consider to be the last White supremacist state. That it exists in this modern world, in the year 2024, is just astounding and certainly unacceptable to any mentally healthy individual. And if it’s not a White supremacist state, then it is most DEFINITELY a supremacist state period. The power-center of the Israeli State lies where? It lies at the feet of the Ashkenazis. Where did they come from? How do they act? How do they treat the Palestinians, who are not White?
