The Contemporary Jewish Dilemma: Adopt or Reject Zionism and White Supremacy

With the rise of neo-fascism worldwide, Jews must make this choice.

"Whiteness" is a relatively novel concept, which continues to evolve. In the 19th and 20th centuries, it served to stratify Europe and its colonies into classes of privileged white people with full rights and ‘others’ to be disenfranchised, used as manual labor, or eliminated.

Societies that champion "whiteness" as the focal point of their identity scapegoat ‘out’ groups in order to mask systematic policies of privilege and prejudice.

Incitement against "out" groups serves to redirect public outrage that would otherwise be focused on the system and its ruling class.

As a historically consistent target of "whiteness," Jews have and will always be excluded from or remain in the periphery of white nationalist circles; but not for lack of trying. Many have attempted to assimilate into groups that champion the so-called superiority of "western values" for more than a century – only to be used, abused and/or rejected.
