So which of you is running Said Achmiz's account?

Reversing a diaspora only works if the diverse elements of the diaspora are allowed to participate in the repatriation. For example, the State of Israel's legitimacy as a homeland for the Jewish people depends on its including all Jews as the concept has been historically and publicly understood. If a faction of Ashkenazi Jews seized power and arbitrarily decided that Sephardic Jews can't be Israeli, that would seriously undermine the foundations of why many people supported the Zionist project in the first place.

Lol wow that is quite an argument to use. Made even worse by stuff like this

This is so gratuitous, and so irrelevant to the actual demographics of Israel (most Israeli are neither Ashkenazi nor Sephardi, which shouldn't be a surprise if you're vaguely aware of geography) that I have to wonder if this is meant as some sort of weird antisemitic dog whistle. Probably he couldn't even say himself.

In any case, typical ignorance of Israel stans (and many critics sadly) who love to think of it as a white country.

I assume it is just the genetics/iq fanboying which leads them to think like this, not some weird antisemitic dogwhistle, not that philosemitism isn't also a form of antisemitism via othering.
