You mean Netanyahu's parents.
Where were Ben Gvir's parents from?

The majority of Likud, Shas and Ben Gvir voters are Mizrahi Jews.
Israeli Mizrahi Jews in general tend to be more right wing in general.

So I noticed you didn't answer the question. Because we both know the answer. Reactionary Zionism, which is the group you pretend not to understand the origins of, completely comes of European ancestry. The likud party has its Origins entirely from reactionary Zionism and the European Jews.. The fact that they've got a lot of people to vote against their interests doesn't change the fact of who they are and where they came from. Nor who their leadership primarily is made of.

( also that article pretty much refutes your point)

You wrote it again, but do you mean Revisionist Zionism? I didn't pretend, as it's completely irrelevant.
You wrote that the hardcore Zionist tends to be European. You were corrected that it isn't true today.
You should clarify yourself if you meant something else.

The article points out Mizrahi are more right wing.
Likud's voters are still mostly Mizrahi, even if less Mizrahi are voting for them as compared to the past.
And it isn't the only right wing party or the most extreme one. Ben Gvir's party is worse and also has mostly Mizrahi voters.

I haven't managed to find the articles that talked about the last election in the context of Mizrahi Jews, but you can go through the last election result map and see the places where the Likud got the highest percentages are almost all Mizrahi dominated.

And vote against their interests in which way?

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world -2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Third time. Just don't want to admit that the ones driving the train, that they brag about being on time I'm sure, tend to be the European ones. Your article even mentioned how the leaders of the likud party tended to be white. But you don't want to admit it for some reason. Curious.

Are you asking how fascism is against the interest of all people? I would assume that self-explanatory I'm concerned you need it explained.

What you originally wrote doesn't imply only leaders.
The current leaders of Zionist parties that are part of the government are, Netanyahu, Smotrich, Ben Gvir and Arie Deri. That's 2 Ashkenazis and 2 Mizrahis.

They voted for the Likud mostly because of the racism they experienced. That resulted in much more Mizrahi Jews in places of power and the shrinking of the gap between Ashkenazi and Mizrahi Jews.
Justifiable or not, that clearly worked in their interest.

But clearly you're just looking to attack people, so I'm wasting my time.
