    …this is a meme, not documentation of where the actual people in the photos were born.

    roughly 70 percent of Israeli Jews are born in Israel.

    1-in-3 Israeli Jews being bona fide, first-generation, “I just got here from halfway around the world and your house is now mine” settlers paints a clear picture of the colonial project that is Zionism.

      This is not merely a matter of demographics.

      Official Israeli policy for the past 75 years is that any Jew [0] from anywhere in the world has the right to migrate to Israel and gain Israeli citizenship.

      In 2018, Israel passed a “basic law”, which is the closest thing they have to a constitutional amendment, clarifying that it views itself as a Jewish state.

      Even without getting into any of Israel’s unofficial policies, it is no secret what they are trying to do.

      [0] Almost any. The law does allow them to deny citizenship ship for various security and public safty reasons; although it is rarely invoked.
