We can help, we can even insist, that our Arab and European allies work to create a more effective, less corrupt and more legitimate Palestinian Authority in the West Bank that, after some transition in Gaza, could help govern there as well.

It feels off to call Israel European, both denying them nativehood and making them more sympathetic for white supremacists. Israel is not exclusively made up of Europeans and their descendants.

The Irish and Italians were put down as minorities in the 1800s, until they got absorbed as "whites" by the racist assholes who decided they everybody should fight other minorities with darker skin. White supremacists are going to supremacize.

Yeah, I guess I just don’t really see who this is for. White supremacists already tend to support Israel, but it’s harder to support them if you say they’re from elsewhere. I didn’t get an explicit white supremacist vibe from the rest of the piece, did I miss it or did this slip through?
