People from my degree: wow, we had no idea you're so charismatic
Me, who has studied theater for 7 years and absolutely feels comfortable performing: indeed, my crippling imposter syndrome for the past three years has hid many things about me.

“one could argue that the most dangerous place in the world to be a Jew is in Israel-Palestine"
This guy is so far from understanding anything about the Israeli perspective. If these are our choices, I prefer fighting dozens of wars over being a persecuted minority in the diaspora, no matter the danger.

What Ali Abunimah is offering sounds like this:
"Join us, the people who've tried to kill you for decades, in one state. Best case scenario, you lose your self determination, which you fought to get for 2000 years. Worst case scenario, a civil war breaks out and you get expelled. Refuse and I'll claim you're racist."
My, how surprising that Israelis don't agree. Only risk, very little reward.

1. Mizrahi/ Sephardi Jews do not call themselves "Arab Jews".
2. Being happily accepted by Israel does not mitigate the trauma and injustice of being expelled.
3. No Mizrahi Jew wants to return to Yemen (and such) but that doesn't mean return is the only compensation, just because that's what Palestinians want. Mizrahi Jews deserve what (some) Ashkenazi Jews got- recognition and financial compensation.
Ugh, Ali.

Criticizing Israeli laws is great but Ali could try to be accurate. Israeli law does not automatically grant citizenship to the spouses from enemy countries. That's it. If an Israeli Jew marries an Iraqi, they won't get Israeli citizenship. This isn't directly against Palestinians, it's true for every Israeli.
It does, however, disproportionally impact Palestinians & is problematic but let's be accurate first.

"Israel has always claimed that the ever-tighter sieges, closures and checkpoints are necessary for "security", particularly against potential Palestinian suicide attacks. Yet the system of wide-scale closures was instituted in 1991, three years before the first-ever suicide attack."
What a sneaky little sentence. The first SUICIDE attack was after. The first regular terror attacks were significantly before.
