“I am an Arab Jew. My family lived in Israel, the land of the Jews, since before any Ashkenazi Jew laid a foot on it. My family moved from Lebanon because the Arab Muslims made our lives hell and would frequently attack and kill us in the village nevertheless one by one.

They had lived in Lebanon for almost 300 years and before that, they lived in southern Iraq… for over 1300 years. That’s right, since before Islam even existed. We have been there since the time of the elder religions. You know, the ones that were all over the region from Persia to Iraq and Syria and all the way down to Yemen and even North Africa. Like the Zoroastrians.

The Arab Jews didn’t get turned by the Ashkenazi. They got turned by the constant bloody pogroms the Arab Muslims would inflict on Arab Jews every single decade… for 1300 fucking years.

They murdered so many of our people, tortured them, and burned them… pretty much Oct 7 twice per generation, for 1300 years. And when we had the opportunity and just didn’t want to be completely wiped out like a dozen other entire populations, the Muslims genocided or forced to convert, we fled. And we fled and fled and fled until we realized we could find a safe haven in the land that 2000 years was ours to start with before any of the Muslims ever existed.

My family arrived during the Ottoman Empire and we lived in somewhat subjugation but still were left in peace. We built new villages and towns around our ancestral temple in Jerusalem. We started to buy swathes of land up and down the country.

Then, one day, Muslims best and closest friends in Germany, the Nazis, decided to come on over and teach them all-new ways to kill us. And they wanted no time trying out their new death tricks. Then Mufti went over to have lunch with Hitler and boom… we were fucked and he killed 6 million of us across Europe.

When those who survived came over because they’d heard the British were giving the land they now ruled to the Jews, the Arab Muslims were not happy. Why? Because as they did for 1300 years before, they wanted it all and wanted us dead. So they attacked in pogroms for 20 years until we finally had enough and fought back, even against the British who let them kill us.

And finally, in 1948, we declared independence, and Muslims declared genocidal war on us, after just one damned day. Just before that war of 48, Muslim armies demanded all the Arabs on the land to leave so that they could kill every single Sephardi and Ashkenazi Jew alike. The majority of Muslims left Israel so we could be killed, and we ended up kicking their asses and winning the war. The Nakba wasn’t their Nakba. It was ours. They betrayed us, not the other way around. My family was there when they did it.

And then for the last 76 years, Muslims have been crying that they want the land back. Well, erm, NO!!! It’s not their land, and it never was. Muslims were all stuck in a cage in Gaza but Israel didn’t control Gaza then. Egypt did. And Muslims know what? They didn’t complain once. Then they attacked us in 1967 to slaughter us all, again, and we won, again. But this time we conquered Gaza and what’s now the West Bank.”
