At least half of the people killed at Nova were of Mizrahi or Sephardic backgrounds. 10/7 was the largest single day killing of Jews of color since the Farhud and/or Nazi occupation of North Africa probably. At the same time, like 40% of the names were clearly Ashkenazi. This was the largest single day killing of Ashkenazi Jews since 9/11, when hundreds of Jews were killed along with their gentile countrymen. What I’m trying to say is that to most Jews this was the most traumatic event the community has faced in their lifetimes. When you deny or attempt to justify the 10/7 atrocities, you immediately lose most of us right there. Stop asking if we’re white or not. I don’t care. Just leave us alone if you won’t promote a hostage release deal to end this war.
