Inter-racial dating taboo leaves Israeli society divided

Inter-racial dating is a taboo in Israel. In a Jerusalem suburb there are special patrol groups that prevent Arab men mixing with Jewish women, and couples who mutually choose to rebel are ostracized.

Few points. This is not a case of an ‘interracial dating’ gone wrong as an attempt to "invent" races symbolically through legally sanctioned regulation of sex between Arabs and Jews. 1. “Passing,” the woman in question dated this man and she could not tell his ‘race’ as a visible sign of difference. Instead, ‘name’ becomes the place-holder for 'the missing visible marks of race'. 2. Thus, the law comes in the feel the this empty category with legal punishment of the ‘deceiver’ of this' innocent' Jewish woman. Hence, Sexual regulation [see anti-miscegenation laws of the U.S, Apartheid South Africa and the Germany during the reign of the Third Reich’ function as the most potent way to construct 'racial purity' and 'ethnic nationalism'. Anti-miscegenation laws are particularly potent when the signs of 'racial difference' cannot be discerned visually. In the U.S this category is often expressed in the literature under the category of ‘passing' of the mixed 'light skinned’ black woman into 'the white society'. In Germany under the Third Reich the ‘sexual deviant,’ ‘deceiver’ and ‘seducer’ was almost alwasy 'the ‘Jew’ ‘passing as ‘Aryan’ German- but since the category of ‘true Aryan' requires 'the other’- ‘the passing Jew’ serves the role of the other. In fascist literature’, the ‘passing Jew’ is always 'discovered' and 'punished'. Thus, where 'visible' epistemology of race fails to discern the different between 'the real' and 'the fake' German and Jew or Arab and Jew, the law steps in and enact such racialised border through its harsh legal punishment. In the U.S this was done through such methods as ritualistic castration of black man and after being accused of 'raping' or ‘seducing’ 'innocent' white woman.

Israel may have the atom bomb, but the Arabs have the babies and the lust of Jewish women. If I were a betting person, I would bet on the Arabs to come out on top.

I am shock to see the people I sympathized with for the horrors of World War II, now adapted the similar methods of their adversary, the Third-Reich. Racism is wrong and should not be condone by any nation. The Israeli knows better, they have been he victims of racism, bigotry and annihilations from the Third Reich and other countries of Europe and they cried foul more than any ethic group in history. This tells the world how hypocrite they were when they were powerless, and how cruel they are when empowered.

It is natural for humans to prefer their own race or kind. This is also true in the animal kingdom. Do green snakes breed with black snakes? Would a copperhead breed with a cobra? Contrary to what the controlled news media preaches, most races prefer their own race. Black is beautiful. Brown is beautiful. Yellow is beautiful. Caucasion is beautiful, etc. Be thankful for who and what you are, not what the billionaire news network tycoon's propaganda tells you. NO WORRY, BE HAPPY.

I am a man who is Jewish by birth and I will tell you I always preferred non-Jewish women.  So from my point of view these guys are actually helping the Arabs avoid an unpleasant relationship.  Of course there is probably a shortage of women in the Arab world because of the multiple wives thing.
Maybe they should encourage their sisters to date Chinese.  I know they have a serious shortage of women due to "cutting off their noses to spite their face".  At least that way they might be able to get some decent Chinese food in the family.
But I am probably wrong on both counts.  Women have always been seducers and deceiver not men.  Men are womanizers, women are womynizers.  All the world loves women especially me!
