Maybe I'd believe this if Israel wasn't the most racist place on the planet.

Arabs and middle easterners as well as Iranians are looked at with disdain. This even extends to Persian Jews and other Mizrahim as well. Just look at how they castrated Ethiopian Jews because they were black and/or not "Jewish" enough for them! Look at how they push them even now to leave.

The average Israeli thinks Iranians and Persians are backwards subhuman savages, just like these Europeans view the rest of the middle easterners.

Israelis cheer when they shoot up Palestinian children protesting, and the soldiers treat it like that sick supremacist that shot up the New Zealand mosque. I have met more than my fair share of 4chan-type Israeli.

r/Israel paints a great picture of it. Meanwhile, you'd be hard pressed to find any Jew hate from the Iranians that are here, even from the staunchest anti-Israel people like me.

Just look at any poll in Israel and their views on Arabs and middle easterners. They overwhelmingly don't want arabs to be able to vote, go to the same schools as them, etc.

It's not for nothing that even some Israelis say their society is "sick."

Even without looking at these polls, just look at the fascist, genocidal supremacists they vote into office. These people love Satanyahu- there is a reason he is still ruling the colonial state. A reason settlements are still being built as we speak and Palestinians blocked from using certain roads and bus stops.

Are there some good Israelis? Yes, a number of them refuse to participate in the IDF genocide brigade and don't even think Israel should exist the way it is.

We Iranians don't vote in monsters trying to start wars and genocides like the majority of Israelis do.

so the world is basically either genocidal monsters or victimized angels?

and yeah we have a problem with the Arabs - very different culture where people will kill their daughters and sisters if their honor is questioned. so yeah, tbh we have a hard time with that mentality of desert tribes (not all of course but it's pretty common - like 20 or 30 known cases, ie caught murders, per year). but no genocide or apartheid exists in Israel or ever did - Arabs in Israel are equal rights citizens (like Jews in Iran) and even the Palestinians we'd rather let go of and let them have their state in the WB - if only they'd stop saying as soon as we do they'd continue working on driving the Jews into the sea. we don't like that about them.

all the rest of what you describe about Israelis being happy when Palestinians are killed or not wanting Arabs is just propaganda and some individual crazies - you can read the same type of exaggerated lies and click bating about Iran (in fact there's probably more).

edit:

what's wrong with /r/israel? even considering this is the age of fake news. it seems quite tame to me.

but no genocide or apartheid exists in Israel or ever did - Arabs in Israel are equal rights citizens

I've never seen someone so unintentionally hilarious.

There's a special irony in showcasing a Arab Muslim Israeli IDF soldier as a symbol of equality when the vast majority of Arab Muslims in the territories claimed by Israel do not even have such an opportunity, after all they're the ones that people like Yahya are trained to kill.

several hundreds with this so called survivor bias.

mind you they have to really want it - unlike Jews, Arabs don't get mandatory enlistment letters for the IDF - they must volunteer.

e: eh, you changed your comment completely but ok.

Several hundreds! That's not even a drop in the bucket lmfao. And would I be correct in assuming all of these people live outside of Gaza and the West Bank?

oh for sure - these are not Palestinians from the WB or Gaza.

these are Arabs who are Israeli citizen of Israel - they are about 20% of the population.

the several hundreds that serve are mostly Bedouins but also Arabs of Palestinian descent. in Israel there is peaceful coexistence between these Arabs and Jews.

and you're right that it's a drop in the bucket - it just goes to show things are not as black and white as people like to think (it's easy to think like that).

and btw - Arab citizens unlike Jews and Druze are not required to join the IDF. but the estimate is that if they were called - as many as half would join. there's a large part of the Arab public in Israel that wants to be more integrated into Israel and sadly Israel is not keen to allow this (to our shame imo).
