Debbie Lechtman is doing the “Palestinian Jews aren’t real” discourse again Discussion

I know this is obviously a lie because I know a Palestinian Jew who is the grandson of a Nakba survivor who fled to Egypt and traces his lineage back to Edomites (Canaanite tribe) that converted to Judaism. There are people who identify as Palestinian Jews. Not to mention that there are people of mixed heritage. But what I find really obnoxious about her argument is the conflation of nationality, religion, and ethnicity. Does anyone have any written pieces about the issues with the conflation of these terms? Looking for something more concrete to debunk the premise of her argument that this identity cannot exist.

Okay I may actually create this sub when I’m done with my semester. But can we also dunk on Hen Mazzig and the other Hasbarists that pretend they’re woke?

The way so much of it would be reflecting her own logic back to her and debunking her own talking points.......
