In which the Times of Israel just comes right out and says Jewish diversity is bad.

I'm sorry but I don't want an "Ashkenazi monoculture" what the fuck?

Presumably some jews are more equal than other jews?

1. That's not what the author said at all. He just accurately described a vanished recent past. 2. It's a book review about literary histories covering that era, not an editorial. 3
It's not the Times of Israel officially saying anything.

I grew up in the Jewish bubble they're describing, and it only "worked" because the adults shunned any views that dared show empathy with those outside the bubble. The unspoken dogma was "if we [American Jews] can succeed, why can't they [everybody else] figure it out for themselves?"

Getting white people to admit they have privilege is hard, but getting American Jews to admit it is near impossible

They would be talking about my parents generation and I don't recognize their description.

This is so boldly racist and classist

This is the first time I've seen them outright admit their ideology desires gatekeeping Jewish identity from other Jews over both ethnicity and race.
They hide less and less of their foulness with time.
Used to be stuff like this is only said in private.
Now they've brought it up front to all.

they could just say ‘white’ in several places and the meaning would still come across think. maybe i’m reading too much into it.

Ethnonationalism/religious nationalism always fails by design because far-right will arbitrarily narrow their criteria of what the "superior ethnic group" is.

Supremacists will always invent an new outgroup to malign and ostracize because they need a group to feel effortlessly superior over.

Every marginalized group could cease to exist today, and they'll invent new ones to persecute.

They want to force conformity of thought and opinion. Fits right in with TNs arguments before the Scotus.

I don't understand why the Times of Israel should concern itself with American Jewish identity to begin with

Hell, I'm an Ashkenazi Jew and *I* don't want a monoculture, either.

My Jewish wife recently criticized Israeli culture and governance for enforced “Ashkenormalization” at the expense of other Jewish ethnicities. This seems to echo.
