There's obviously signs of the same dysfunctions in Israeli society as there is in the West but at a much deeper level Jews do and will insulate themselves from the same pathologies they push in the diaspora. For a great example of this see the recent Iranian documentary about anti-miscegenation restrictions in Israel: https://national-justice.com/new-documentary-sheds-light-israels-strict-prohibitions-interracial-marriage

The bottom line of I think any serious critique is the disparity between what Jews in Israel and anywhere else preach and what they practice. How many examples are there of radical feminist Jews in America who eventually settled down with a Jewish husband, lived in material luxury and raised Jewish children? How many wars do NeoConservatives actually say Israelis themselves should fight? Absolutely zero. That's work for the gentiles. How many Jews in the Diaspora -- right OR left! -- are absolutely horrified by the idea of any kind of ethnic, racial or even religious solidarity when it comes to Whites yet take it absolutely for granted that those things do and MUST exist for Jews?

Simply put the disparity between Jewish diaspora behaviour and ideology vs Israeli actions is not proof that the charges against them we make are false it's true of just how deceitful and self serving their so called ideals are. There's a reason 'x for me, but not for thee' is a meme.

True, but how are the social conditions in Israel for Jews? Do they have a large homeless population?

No idea but here's a Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homelessness_in_Israel

This part particularly amused me:

However, a law amendment passed in 2009 protects the rights of mortgage debtors and ensures that they are not evicted after failing to meet mortgage payments. The amendment is part of a wider reform in the law in the wake of a lengthy battle by the Association for Civil Rights in Israel and other human rights groups.

Must be nice to live in a country where the state favours the citizen over the usurer.

Homelessness increased following the wave of Soviet immigration in 1991. As many as 70 percent of homeless people in Tel Aviv are immigrants from the former Soviet Union,

My cynical side guesses this has something to do with Israelis doubting that many Soviet immigrants are 'real Jews' -- much of the whole DNA testing for Jewishness is a result of Soviet immigration to Israel -- and that the reason so many of them are homeless is that they're not considered worthy of state attention but that's an unkind thought.

Well, that certainly did not happen after the 2008 crisis in the US. Persons ripped from their homes for failing to pay because a bunch of parasites screwed up teh economy. I'm sure it will happen again in the US.

But are not Soviet Jews Ashkenazi? They need more and more Jews to emigrate to Israel as a plausible deniability for the settler project.

Exactly. We get the opposite approach in no small part given to the type of Economic policies Jews have played a major part in promoting.

But are not Soviet Jews Ashkenazi?

Some undoubtedly are but I think there was a lot of new converts or people just claiming to be Jewish to be eligible to emigrate from the Soviet Union to the US or Israel. Like I said that's where much of the DNA testing comes from in Israel because the state wasn't convinced the people who wanted to migrate were 'real Jews'.
