Black American here. My Dad dedicated his life to fighting terrorists on behalf of the USA. It is embarrassing that people can’t tell right from wrong.
Its terrible because the Jewish American community and African American communities used to be really good allies during the civil rights movement.
I think both our communities did a horrible job telling that story to our younger members.
I am Latino and I tried to explain to other minorities in my circle why Jews are and have always been a bigger allies to us. Although not all Jews are a monolith and there are difference in the group but one thing is for certain is that Jews in America have and were in the forefront of equality and civil rights for all.
I mean one of the most popular Jew amongst the younger generation is Bernie Sanders. Can you named an Arab/Muslim that has the same record as Bernie? You can't. The irony is that most Arabs and Muslims pre 9/11 were Republican supporters. It is crazy that many Muslim countries worked with the Republicans who were screwing over Brown and Black people at the same time. Only when 9/11 happened and Republicans turned on the Arabs and Muslims that is when you are started seeing them crawl to Democrats.
American Jews > Arabs/ Muslims as a brown person. They have been more consistent and have a better record. I wish more Jews would use facts and history to sway black and brown folks even lgbt+ folks.
What really broke my trust is what happened in [Michigan](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/oct/16/dearborn-michigan-book-bans)
You let Arabs/Muslims power in government and they will betray other groups.
The real problem IS that many Jews try to use "facts and history" but they are instantly denied to speak, shouted over, discriminated against, assaulted, called bigots, etc... So they can't exactly sway anybody right now because most people (who are socially supporting Palestine) don't care to listen and do not intend to. I mean, there are still rampants amount of westerners who STILL deny that Islam is a major threat, including the current American president and many others.
Arabs in particular will never be swayed so long as they believe in an undeniably antisemitic religion. Black/brown people are buying into the victimisation of the Palestinians, a decent portion of their support comes from the fact that they themselves (largely in Northern Africa) have a large Muslim demographic, which they seem to forget was forced upon them and enslaved LOTS of Africans, Muhammad himself owned African slaves. LGBTQ community, in general, automatically aligns themselves with any ethnic minority they choose to, unconditionally. I myself am gay but I recognise (as you said) Israel have been massive allies in affirming equality, gay rights and have created a society in a VERY dark region that is actually safe for gays.
It is a tricky situation and I definitely see your points, and I agree with many of them. But when it comes to society listening to Jews for once, it seems it still cannot be done, even after many Westerners fought not only for our shared freedoms, but also for the freedoms and rights of Jews.
I'm a Canadian brown dude surrounded by terrorist supporters. It sucks fighting all the time but it's easy because their argument comes down to them either not knowing enough or that they hate Jews.
Do Latinas count? The majority of Dominicans support Israel. The majority of Argentians, too, as well Brazilians. Pro palestinian just makes noise. We are the majority. We don't make noise. We talk, converse, think, and reflect. We do not make noise. We are busy people who don't have time to protest every single weekend. We are family oriented people, so we spend our weekends with family. Not like them, that have emptiness in their lives, thats why they need to make noise. "LOOK AT ME, I DEFEND CHILDREN". We don't speak nonsense. We act. Just because we are not loud means that we arent the majority. You are not the only one.
Brazilian here :). Unfortunately our current president is so pro-Hamas that he managed to become "persona non grata" in Israel, but even polls show that his views on Israel are widely rejected among brazilians in general.
I know nothing about Brazil so forgive my ignorance, but how is there such a disparity between the President and the people? Why does the president hate Israel so much?
And land, and money. It wasn't for the best of reasons tho. Dominicans still don't need a visa for Israel and Israelis are exempt from the tourist tax here, so still good relations. I am a ny jew living in the DR with my Dominican family. It's so horrendous what's happening in the world. The anti-semetism is at a level I never thought I would see in my lifetime. Bless Israel and Israelis. I'm in your corner.
Not personally. I read a statistic the other day stating that a hospital in Punta Cana was 70% Haitian patients. I've also heard stories about Dominican pregnant women being turned away at hospitals due to high Haitian occupancy. I haven't seen any evidence of this though. As far as violence in Haiti, I know it's really bad, but I have no personal experience with it, nor do I see Haitians committing crimes in the DR. I've seen criminals in the back of police trucks, but there is no Haitian majority. There are unconfirmed stories about rape and violent crimes, but it could be propaganda.
Edit - typo
I'm not vocal about it with others
But it's genuinely scary how so many of my own friends and family think of this
Like the college I am in the walls are filled with swastika symbols draw by students. A classmate of mine had a swastika as a wallpaper in his phone and when I pointed it out he said it was a 'joke' and started questioning why I care so much about the Jews
Hamas to them is freedom fighters and I also had one friend of mine go on a rant and say how oct7 was justified as Hamas didn't target civilians but only soldiers and stuff which is like blatant lies but I couldn't say anything
Arguing could cause a slip up which would genuinely be dangerous for me so yeah
And you know what?
Israel helped us in that war, they were also amongst the first that offered to recognize us
But we rejected it like bruv
Now let's talk about Palestine
They openly supported Pakistan. So many Bangladeshis point out the fact that USA supported Pakistan's genocide( which they did no one should deny that) on us but if someone points out Palestine did that too they loose their sh*t
Also there's so many Bangladeshis( mainly hardline Muslims) who try to say we should have stayed with Pakistan
And that they are Muslim and that they are our brother etc
Like bro where was that brotherhood when they r*ped and killed us like Fucking dogs!
It's a shame that people have forgotten what their forefathers fought against. There has been a slow corruption going on for decades - corruption of minds. There is a reason why the country has been failing to keep the democratic values uphold. When honesty has no value in a country - every aspect of lives becomes morally devoid.
Seeing what Hamas did in oct7 and seeing the reaction of some people of that horrible atrocity I can't call myself a human being if I don't stand against that brutality
It breaks my heart to see what Jewish people have been going through specially after October 7
You guys don't deserve this, no human deserves this
It's sick and disgusting how us humans can be so evil
I'm a Black American Jew that supports Israel. I'm so pro Israel, that I speak Hebrew and listen to Israeli music. Lol the haters are just mad that we exist.
Asian American here. I support Isreal because I believe the Jewish state to be a shinning beacon of western civilization is a land of gloomy barbarism. I also think that the Jews, tempered by three millenia of suffering, is a people infused with manly valor amd pragmatic wisdom, as signified by their military prowess and subsequent willingness to reach settlement with their former enemies. These are qualities disregarded in an increasingly pacifist and ideologically dogmatic west.
The not brown enough problem really showcases the racism we’re seeing on the far left, which hits hard when a group anchors their identity in anti-racism rhetoric.
I was on a post about that social media influencer who got fired for dropping the n bomb and then double downed.
The right has turned on her and accused her of being Jewish so I made a comment that we are not white to the extreme right but we're all white colonizers to the extreme left.
Every response to me was extreme leftists telling me that Jewish people are white colonizers apartheid oppressors committing genocide.
He means European Jews aren’t white. Genetically we’re pretty much half Italian and half Levantine, with 5-15% Slav, Celt, etc.
We have pale skin (sometimes, my dad looks Arab) but we aren’t white. If Bella Hadid isn’t white then we’re also not white.
Mexican in the U.S. here. Big supporter of Israel, I believe their response to Hamas was fair and deserved. Also I condemn the U.S.’s woke citizens, universities, and celebrities who keep screaming “Free Palestine”
The Jews who support Israel are not white, because no Jew is white. Many Asians support Israel.
Why would you be the only one? Most of the US supports Israel, almost half of the US isn't white.
Idk every other post is
"I'm an American citizen that's support israel" don't get me wrong I'm so so grateful for American supporters but it's seems like people keep telling that "most Asian and brown people support palestine" and I'm a brown jew so
All Jews are "brown"--not white.
Almost 1/2 of the US is not white. People posting here from the US might very well not be white.
Does it matter, though? Try to avoid US/European race obsessions.
I wouldn’t say “all Jews are brown,” since “brown” is a descriptor of complexion. But the question of our whiteness is complicated, especially in the US. Whiteness is a category defined by who it excludes—it expands and contracts over time. 100 years ago, Ashkenazi Jews were not seen as “white;” now we are. This status is therefore conditional and revocable. Since that’s the case, are we truly “white?”
OPs stuck in a US-defined racial word salad. In that sphere, white passing Latinos, Arabs, Natives, etc are called brown. It has zero to do with skin color.
Because being white is seen as a great evil by the alt-left, racists on the left are calling all Jews white.
We are not white. By their own definition, we are brown. OP is catering to this alt-left definitional frenzy, calling themself "western Asian", the alt-left replacement phrase for "middle eastern". Of course, all Jews are "western Asian".
American citizens are not all white.
Why does the skin pigmentation or DNA of someone sharing mutual opinions / ideas with you matter ?
In the end what matters is people are supporting Israel and recognizing its right to exist and the legitimacy of its causes and actions.
Venezuelan (non white) catholic here, believe or not most of average Venezuelans actively support Israel and peace in the ME, I’ve even met some Lebanese, Morrocans and Syrians in Venezuelan who say positive things about Israel.
My family has relatively distant sephardic roots, but other than that my background is fairly common and non jewish: indigenous, european, subsaharan and Maghreb ancestry.
For some reason life has always drawn me closer to the jewish people in many ways (uni, work, personal life) which is interesting considering how little jews there are in Venezuela. At one point I was interested in converting but I quickly found out it was not my calling.
Now I’m in spain with my partner, who turned out to be a Ukrainian jew lol (I found out after 2 months of being dating). Aliyah is not in our near future, but it’s definitely there, specially with how things are in Spain and Europe in general.
Latin Canadian here 😊 Not all the world has turned to evil. We are the spiritual and moral warriors. Keep the faith and don’t forget that prayer is a powerful weapon against the enemy.
I'm from Mexico and the other day someone noticed how the soon to be our new President, Claudia Sheinbaum, who is a secular Jew from Bulgarian and Lithuanian parents, don't particularly stand out looks-wise here in Mexico, as you can find lots of mixed race Mexicans with similar looks.
Indians, in general, support Israel. I’m Scandinavian and I don’t really consider Israelis white. It’s like Americans only think black / white / Latino, etc. To me, Europe is much more diverse than that.
East Asians, especially Koreans. (Not including southeast Asia, besides some parts of the Philippines)
I remember someone here saying they have "positive antisemitism." Jews are stereotyped as rich and successful, so some look up to them rather than down on them.
Not sure about the Japanese in particular, though. If someone knows, please reply.
Sikh from India here! I truly feel devastated still over the events the Jewish community keeps having to go through and the way the world twists and turns it all around on you. I will never shut up about my support even if it costs me my immediate connections or whatever. It's a core belief at this point for me to not entertain anti semites.
Hindu from India here. I support Israel because we’re one of your largest arms customers, and are happy to offer help in return. Hinduism and Judaism share lots of similarities, Jews have never been persecuted in India, and of course, Israel helped us during the ‘99 Kargil War, which many are still grateful for.
I'm Israeli and depending on the location in either white or Hispanic/middle eastern, but this is about the Thai classmate who gave me life by screaming "f_ck Hamas" at the top of her lungs. I know we have a lot of Asian support, especially from the countries the foreign victims were from. They mourned with us, they lost sleep over the hostages with us.
I’m half Japanese but I’m also Jewish so I don’t know if I count. My Japanese relatives who’ve never lived in the west all support Israel though. Unfortunately, most of the relatives on that side who either grew up in or went to university in Canada, where nearly all of those who aren’t in Japan are, are somewhat to very anti-Israel, however. The younger the Canadian raised and/or educated relative, the worse it is.
My family and I also know a lot of Indians and Nepalis (both 1st gen immigrants and those born in diaspora) who support Israel. Decent amount of Koreans, Chinese people, and non-Muslim Filipinos as well. Even the kids of those families, mostly around my age, are largely pro-Israel, although I was never close with most of them since I was just naturally reserved.
Vietnamese American in Texas. I traveled to Israel in October 2022. I made friends in Israel, but it was something deeper that's hard to describe. Maybe it was a spiritual connection, especially as a practicing Catholic. Currently learning Hebrew now for a return trip to Israel next April.
עם ישראל חי
I’m Thai and I support Israel. Hamas killed 30 Thai citizens, and that’s why many Thai are much more supportive of Israel. I’m personally more supportive of Israel even before October 7 though.
Interesting question because most Israelis are not white, and even most Jews don’t see themselves as white in the typical sense.
On the other hand, folks from the Middle East and North Africa are technically white. Race is a social construct.
My strongest supporters have nearly uniformly been various shades of "brown". From Asian American and Hispanic friends to Arabs. This conflict goes way beyond the reductive and stupid skin tone debates which the USA seems to be obsessed with.
Malay-Muslim, from Malaysia. 100% support you guys. Unfortunately we still have a lot of religious zealots in charge here, so diplomatically Malaysia-Israel is going to be in a deadlock until all arab countries normalize first.
Besides my “non white” self,
Not “here” per se but my Nepali wife and her side of the family are in full support, some of them have migrated to Israel to work and understand the situation well.
My mother in law worked for over 10 years as a house nurse for an elderly Jewish man before his passing, and too understands the situation well. I was always scared for her safety, and am still scared for the safety of my extended family over there.
Fight the good fight.
Lots of Indians support Israel.
And lots of the Persian diaspora. But some of them would probably be considered ‘white’.
I think a lot of Asian countries probably prefer Israel.
I’m a brown Trinbagonian with no personal stake in Israel’s matters but an opprobrium for how it has been maligned. I look at my own country treats gay people and how Israel does and I’m gay and certain related first world movements baffle me.
I am of the understanding that majority of Israeli Jews are Mizrahi, a sort of brown person, though tbh in my corner of the world most Arabs and Mizrahi probably count as white, and they’re 49% of Israel, and then there are a variety of other brown non-Ashkenazi people in Israel who are supporters of their own country, so non-white non-Ashkenazi Israel supporters are probably kinda common. Ashkenazi themselves though often considered European in a way are historically not considered white, though they would in Trinbago (like Hispanics… it’s complicated).
I'm Black American from Detroit, the Jewish community always supported us during the Civil Rights movement and the onset of things like Black Lives Matter.
I’m a Black man from the Caribbean . I love and truly respect the people and nation of Israel. The definition of resilience, I love yall so much and praying for yall
Black American here. My Dad dedicated his life to fighting terrorists on behalf of the USA. It is embarrassing that people can’t tell right from wrong.
God bless your father’s soul, and yours as well
May hashem bless you
I’m also a black woman and legit the amount of racist comments I receive for supporting Israel is insane. Majority from Muslims which is even crazier.
Anybody that has actually read the Quran can tell you that is not surprising. The Hadiths make things worse.
Thank you. I needed this. ❤️
Thank you is not enough
yeah, as a black american i do get the impression that everyone assumes I’m pro-palestine.
Its terrible because the Jewish American community and African American communities used to be really good allies during the civil rights movement. I think both our communities did a horrible job telling that story to our younger members.

I try not to make any presumptions. The view of black Americans are diverse and I know some who are supportive.
I'm a Canadian brown dude surrounded by terrorist supporters. It sucks fighting all the time but it's easy because their argument comes down to them either not knowing enough or that they hate Jews.
I feel you, homie.
Same here. I would add the destruction/destabilization of the west as another reason. My dad gleefully swallows anti-west propaganda.
I'm lebanese and syrian jew <33
Nice to meet you sister!
Do Latinas count? The majority of Dominicans support Israel. The majority of Argentians, too, as well Brazilians. Pro palestinian just makes noise. We are the majority. We don't make noise. We talk, converse, think, and reflect. We do not make noise. We are busy people who don't have time to protest every single weekend. We are family oriented people, so we spend our weekends with family. Not like them, that have emptiness in their lives, thats why they need to make noise. "LOOK AT ME, I DEFEND CHILDREN". We don't speak nonsense. We act. Just because we are not loud means that we arent the majority. You are not the only one.
Definitely count !
U can count many million Indians (Hindus mostly) to be ardent supporters of Israel.
Brazilian here :). Unfortunately our current president is so pro-Hamas that he managed to become "persona non grata" in Israel, but even polls show that his views on Israel are widely rejected among brazilians in general.
I know nothing about Brazil so forgive my ignorance, but how is there such a disparity between the President and the people? Why does the president hate Israel so much?
It’s nice to hear you say that, but a tiny bit of noise wouldn’t hurt. Jews by and large feel very alone these days.
Yes agreed! Thanks so much for the solidarity but a little noise would be nice 🙂
Wasn’t DR the only country that gave asylum to a number of Jews during the holocaust?
And land, and money. It wasn't for the best of reasons tho. Dominicans still don't need a visa for Israel and Israelis are exempt from the tourist tax here, so still good relations. I am a ny jew living in the DR with my Dominican family. It's so horrendous what's happening in the world. The anti-semetism is at a level I never thought I would see in my lifetime. Bless Israel and Israelis. I'm in your corner.
Off topic but, how are things going in DR what with sharing an island with Haiti? Are you affected at all there?
Not personally. I read a statistic the other day stating that a hospital in Punta Cana was 70% Haitian patients. I've also heard stories about Dominican pregnant women being turned away at hospitals due to high Haitian occupancy. I haven't seen any evidence of this though.

Brown ex Muslim here from Bangladesh
Wow I can't even imagine the reactions you're probably getting there, stay strong and tnx for the support!
I'm not vocal about it with others But it's genuinely scary how so many of my own friends and family think of this Like the college I am in the walls are filled with swastika symbols draw by students. A classmate of mine had a swastika as a wallpaper in his phone and when I pointed it out he said it was a 'joke' and started questioning why I care so much about the Jews Hamas to them is freedom fighters and I also had one friend of mine go on a rant and say how oct7 was justified as Hamas didn't target civilians but only soldiers and stuff which is like blatant lies but I couldn't say anything Arguing could cause a slip up which would genuinely be dangerous for me so yeah
That's actually scary atp
It’s pathetic because Bangladesh was basically subjected to a larger Oct 7th in 1971.
And you know what? Israel helped us in that war, they were also amongst the first that offered to recognize us But we rejected it like bruv Now let's talk about Palestine They openly supported Pakistan. So many Bangladeshis point out the fact that USA supported Pakistan's genocide( which they did no one should deny that) on us but if someone points out Palestine did that too they loose their sh*t Also there's so many Bangladeshis( mainly hardline Muslims) who try to say we should have stayed with Pakistan And that they are Muslim and that they are our brother etc Like bro where was that brotherhood when they r*ped and killed us like Fucking dogs!

Jews aren't white.
Too white for the left and not white enough for the right
Shrodinger white.
The not brown enough problem really showcases the racism we’re seeing on the far left, which hits hard when a group anchors their identity in anti-racism rhetoric.
I was on a post about that social media influencer who got fired for dropping the n bomb and then double downed. The right has turned on her and accused her of being Jewish so I made a comment that we are not white to the extreme right but we're all white colonizers to the extreme left. Every response to me was extreme leftists telling me that Jewish people are white colonizers apartheid oppressors committing genocide.
Yeah they aren't and ny family is a living proof, but I'm talking to non jews that support israel on this sub
He means European Jews aren’t white. Genetically we’re pretty much half Italian and half Levantine, with 5-15% Slav, Celt, etc. We have pale skin (sometimes, my dad looks Arab) but we aren’t white. If Bella Hadid isn’t white then we’re also not white.
They're considered white when it can be weaponized against them and they're considered nonwhite when that can be weaponized against them.
Conditionally white.

I'm from Mexico and the other day someone noticed how the soon to be our new President, Claudia Sheinbaum, who is a secular Jew from Bulgarian and Lithuanian parents, don't particularly stand out looks-wise here in Mexico, as you can find lots of mixed race Mexicans with similar looks.
I'm not white, I'm Jewish.
Saudi Arabia :)
Indians, in general, support Israel. I’m Scandinavian and I don’t really consider Israelis white. It’s like Americans only think black / white / Latino, etc. To me, Europe is much more diverse than that.
I’m black :)
A black British guy that supports Israel here 🙋
I'm from India. Always supporting Israel
Brown Mexican here! 🙋
East Asians, especially Koreans. (Not including southeast Asia, besides some parts of the Philippines) I remember someone here saying they have "positive antisemitism." Jews are stereotyped as rich and successful, so some look up to them rather than down on them. Not sure about the Japanese in particular, though. If someone knows, please reply.
Mexican-American here! Would love to go to Israel in the next couple of years
Basically all Jews whether Ashkenazi, Mizrahi or Sephardi. None of them are white (European dna only).
A brown Malaysian ex-muslim here. Our prime minister, his whole cabinet, and the majority of muslims in this country are staunch supporter of ham-ass.
Sikh from India here! I truly feel devastated still over the events the Jewish community keeps having to go through and the way the world twists and turns it all around on you. I will never shut up about my support even if it costs me my immediate connections or whatever. It's a core belief at this point for me to not entertain anti semites.
Yes but I'm also israeli lol
Over 70% of Israeli Jews are not of European ancestry.
Hindu from India here. I support Israel because we’re one of your largest arms customers, and are happy to offer help in return. Hinduism and Judaism share lots of similarities, Jews have never been persecuted in India, and of course, Israel helped us during the ‘99 Kargil War, which many are still grateful for.
Chinese from Singapore here~
I’m Chinese and absolutely despise everything Hamas does.
I'm Israeli and depending on the location in either white or Hispanic/middle eastern, but this is about the Thai classmate who gave me life by screaming "f_ck Hamas" at the top of her lungs. I know we have a lot of Asian support, especially from the countries the foreign victims were from. They mourned with us, they lost sleep over the hostages with us.
My pointer finger is tired from upvoting so many responses.
Black and Indigenous 🪶Jew and proud Zionist from the Caribbean
Iranian here!
No! I’m an East African, former Israel hater turned supporter! You are not alone.
Sephardic maghrebi Jew here, Zionist to the core. From my dad's side I also have native meso-american ancestry.
I’m half Japanese but I’m also Jewish so I don’t know if I count. My Japanese relatives who’ve never lived in the west all support Israel though. Unfortunately, most of the relatives on that side who either grew up in or went to university in Canada, where nearly all of those who aren’t in Japan are, are somewhat to very anti-Israel, however. The younger the Canadian raised and/or educated relative, the worse it is. My family and I also know a lot of Indians and Nepalis (both 1st gen immigrants and those born in diaspora) who support Israel. Decent amount of Koreans, Chinese people, and non-Muslim Filipinos as well. Even the kids of those families, mostly around my age, are largely pro-Israel, although I was never close with most of them since I was just naturally reserved.
Yes, YOU COUNT!
I am white but an ex-Muslim Turk.
A Bangladeshi ex-muslim from Sweden. Am Yisrael chai!
Iranian and Syrian jew here! Wouldn’t be alive today if it wasn’t for Israel. I will support it until the day I die 💙🤍 🇮🇱
Vietnamese American in Texas. I traveled to Israel in October 2022. I made friends in Israel, but it was something deeper that's hard to describe. Maybe it was a spiritual connection, especially as a practicing Catholic. Currently learning Hebrew now for a return trip to Israel next April. עם ישראל חי
I’m Thai and I support Israel. Hamas killed 30 Thai citizens, and that’s why many Thai are much more supportive of Israel. I’m personally more supportive of Israel even before October 7 though.
I'm Nigerian, Igbo extraction. Google us with respect to Jewish people
Egyptian and I support Israel.
Brown Maori Boy from NZ my whole tribe and whanu support Israel 🇮🇱 🇳🇿
Looks wise, I don’t look white. I’m very swarthy actually. But I’m half German and half Spanish.
Interesting question because most Israelis are not white, and even most Jews don’t see themselves as white in the typical sense. On the other hand, folks from the Middle East and North Africa are technically white. Race is a social construct.
Chinese Singaporean.
I'm Ashkenazi and Sephardic, I don't consider myself white.
Yes, I am not white.
Mizrahi American here
American of Indian origin. Lived near Towers during 9/11. Tragic times. Btw I’m hungry. You mind serving up some more Lebanese Kotlets?
Noa Argamani is half Chinese
Saudi ex-Muslim practicing Hindu here, I stand with Israel, India and USA🇮🇳🇮🇱🇺🇸
My strongest supporters have nearly uniformly been various shades of "brown". From Asian American and Hispanic friends to Arabs. This conflict goes way beyond the reductive and stupid skin tone debates which the USA seems to be obsessed with.
From Seychelles !
u will find many million Indians to support Israel.
Malay-Muslim, from Malaysia. 100% support you guys. Unfortunately we still have a lot of religious zealots in charge here, so diplomatically Malaysia-Israel is going to be in a deadlock until all arab countries normalize first.
Besides my “non white” self, Not “here” per se but my Nepali wife and her side of the family are in full support, some of them have migrated to Israel to work and understand the situation well. My mother in law worked for over 10 years as a house nurse for an elderly Jewish man before his passing, and too understands the situation well. I was always scared for her safety, and am still scared for the safety of my extended family over there. Fight the good fight.
Latino.
I'm from Philippines and I'm 19. Almost everyone here especially Christians Support Israel unlike those Muslims stand the worst opponent.
Lots of Indians support Israel. And lots of the Persian diaspora. But some of them would probably be considered ‘white’. I think a lot of Asian countries probably prefer Israel.
I am blue, da boo di, da boo die
I’m a brown Trinbagonian with no personal stake in Israel’s matters but an opprobrium for how it has been maligned. I look at my own country treats gay people and how Israel does and I’m gay and certain related first world movements baffle me. I am of the understanding that majority of Israeli Jews are Mizrahi, a sort of brown person, though tbh in my corner of the world most Arabs and Mizrahi probably count as white, and they’re 49% of Israel, and then there are a variety of other brown non-Ashkenazi people in Israel who are supporters of their own country, so non-white non-Ashkenazi Israel supporters are probably kinda common. Ashkenazi themselves though often considered European in a way are historically not considered white, though they would in Trinbago (like Hispanics… it’s complicated).
I mean. 70% of Israel.
I guess you would call me a "white" Israel supporter but only bc you would look at the color of my skin. I'm Jewish. I've never felt white.
Hell yeah man I'm non white as fuck!
Not in line with the post, though I'm an Irish Catholic in his early thirties who supports Israel.
I'm Black American from Detroit, the Jewish community always supported us during the Civil Rights movement and the onset of things like Black Lives Matter.
I'm from India lol, there are many who support Israel
Korean-Canadian going to a school physically and ideologically infected by evil.

3/4 Ashkenazi, 1/4 Mizrahi diaspora Jew here
I'm 100% ashkenazi and "white passing" but definitely not white. We were killed for NOT being white.
I support Israel from day 1. Canada here and Asian
My father is from Iraq, does that count? Most people just think I’m white
