Barak suggests that unlike during the early years of the state, Israeli authorities could now “be selective” and “control the quality” of who is accepted as Jewish.

So basically, you aren't Jewish enough sorry kid.

I'm thinking he more means white is ~~Semitic~~ Jewish.

I think he means "fewer black and brown Jews".

Edit:

“In a successful country, many will apply,” Barak says. “We can control the quality much more effectively. Unlike the founding fathers of Israel, who had to accept people from North Africa, from the Arab [world]… now we can be selective.”

This régime’s inhibition of Jewish diversity is arguably antisemitic and another reason that Jews should reject it.

In the propaganda it disseminated abroad, [Fascist] Italy presented the global public with a bundle of measures aimed at saving not only Italians, but the entire ‘white race’, as Mussolini confidently proclaimed.³³

He regarded the future of his nation as entirely contingent on its demographic development. A critical moment in this regard was his Ascension Day Speech delivered on 26 May 1927, in which he made statements of basic policy with regard to race and demographics.

Outside Italy, Mussolini’s plan to set up thousands of institutions designed to assist mothers and their children created a sensation. The interest in the policy pronouncements of fascist Italy was so great that the New York Times published the speech in its entirety.³⁴

While Mussolini’s speeches attracted attention around the world, his pronouncements had particular traction in the crisis-shaken Weimar Republic. The Italian dictator even wrote articles on demographic issues for publication in the German press.³⁵

In Germany, interest was expressed not just in ‘positive’ measures designed to promote ‘worthy’ elements of the population — including material assistance for families, comprehensive care for mothers and children, and settlement policies aimed at enlarging Italy’s Lebensraum in Northern and Eastern Africa.³⁶

The Germans also took keen notice of Italy’s plans to exclude and repress ‘undesirable’ elements of the population. As very recent studies have shown, a powerful apparatus of persecution was developed [under Fascism] in the 1920s, which the régime wanted to use to create a homogenised and racially pure populace.³⁷

I'm well aware. As I said elsewhere, we need to be discussing it, though. Here are my basic thoughts: https://altmedia.house/post/189762/612629

"Love labor, hate mastery over others, and avoid a close relationship with the government" (Avot, 1:10)


"Anti-Semitism means spreading enmity towards the Jews. When the accursed tsarist monarchy was living its last days it tried to incite ignorant workers and peasants against the Jews. The tsarist police, in alliance with the landowners and the capitalists, organised pogroms against the Jews. The landowners and capitalists tried to divert the hatred of the workers and peasants who were tortured by want against the Jews. In other countries, too, we often see the capitalists fomenting hatred against the Jews in order to blind the workers, to divert their attention from the real enemy of the working people, capital. Hatred towards the Jews persists only in those countries where slavery to the landowners and capitalists has created abysmal ignorance among the workers and peasants. Only the most ignorant and downtrodden people can believe the lies and slander that are spread about the Jews. This is a survival of ancient feudal times, when the priests burned heretics at the stake, when the peasants lived in slavery, and when the people were crushed and inarticulate. This ancient, feudal ignorance is passing away; the eyes of the people are being opened.

It is not the Jews who are the enemies of the working people. The enemies of the workers are the capitalists of all countries. Among the Jews there are working people, and they form the majority. They are our brothers, who, like us, are oppressed by capital; they are our comrades in the struggle for socialism. Among the Jews there are kulaks, exploiters and capitalists, just as there are among the Russians, and among people of all nations. The capitalists strive to sow and foment hatred between workers of different faiths, different nations and different races. Those who do not work are kept in power by the power and strength of capital. Rich Jews, like rich Russians, and the rich in all countries, are in alliance to oppress, crush, rob and disunite the workers.

Shame on accursed tsarism which tortured and persecuted the Jews. Shame on those who foment hatred towards the Jews, who foment hatred towards other nations.

Long live the fraternal trust and fighting alliance of the workers of all nations in the struggle to overthrow capital." - V. I. Lenin, Anti-Jewish Pogroms
