    After that, several different witnesses independently said they heard Reese say, “he would kick her fg a, slit her godn throat and drag her a** outside and cut her head off.”

    The same witness says Reese was later seen returning to his classroom, cursing extremely loudly. The witness says he was yelling that he “should not be spoken to like that because he is a Jew.”

    He went on saying, “I will drag her a** into the parking lot, slit her f*****g throat and kill her.”

    Wow, not sure to call him ultra-nationalist or religious-extremist.

      Violent bigots come in ever flavor. At a certain point, it’s not worth the effort to suss out the source of their prejudices. It’s an unanswerable question that leads to the same dissapointment in simple minded zealotry no matter their specific path.

      I’d rather spend time trying to understand the ones I respect instead of getting lost in the maze of a random scum.

      There’s a word for those two things; Zionist.

          It takes like 10 minutes of googling to see Zionism is an umbrella term for multiple different schools of thoughts. People are turning it into some slur when at its core it’s the belief that Jews have a right to a state. Keep in mind that Jews are both a race and a religion.

            Well it’s more of a state in a specific place and that maybe everyone should go there.

              Several different locations were considered at first. I think the levant was chosen because it renders the “go back where you came from” argument moot since they’d be living in the area they originated from.

            it’s the belief that Jews have a right to a state.

            Bullcrap. Zionism originated as an antisemitic Christian idea that was specifically based on the premise that Jewish people “don’t belong” in (so-called) “western civilization” and should return “where they came from” - ie, Palestine.

            Keep in mind that Jews are both a race and a religion.

            White supremacist much? Do you want to tell me now that Ethiopian Jewish people and Ashkenazi are the same “race”?

              Uh no, Zionism is not a Christian idea. It’s been an idea long before Christianity was even around. I’m flabbergasted that you called me a white supremacist for stating a fact. Ethiopian and Ashkenazi Jews could very well share DNA linking them back to the original Jewish diaspora.

              https://geneticliteracyproject.org/2017/03/21/beta-israel-reconsidered-defending-israelite-ancestry-ethiopian-jews/

              “As the BBC reports, the study suggests that “Ethiopians mixed with Egyptian, Israeli or Syrian populations about 3,000 years ago.” Professor Chris Tyler-Smith, from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, told the BBC: “By analyzing the genetics of Ethiopia and several other regions we can see that there was gene flow into Ethiopia, probably from the Levant, around 3,000 years ago, and this fits perfectly with the story of the Queen of Sheba.” Note that the study does not contradict the 2007 work by Entine or other historical evidence. The results suggest that Israelites-Jews entered the region 3,000 years ago, but they were not necessarily consolidated as a group until about 1,500 years ago. Also, note the study does not necessarily confirm the biblical story of affair between Queen Sheba of ancient Ethiopia and king Solomon of ancient Israel.”

              Here’s another

              https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3543766/

              “By principal component analysis, it was observed that the Jewish populations of Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East formed a tight cluster that distinguished them from their non-Jewish neighbors (Fig. 1). Within this central cluster, each of these Jewish populations formed its own subcluster, in addition to the more remote localization of members of some Diaspora communities. The observation of a major central tight cluster was supported by statistical metrics for genetic distances (Fst, allelic sharing distances).”

              With all this said, even if Ethiopian Jews and Ashkenazi Jews are not actually genetically related, they still get targeted the same whether they practice Judaism or not.

                Oh, look… a white supremacist is “flabbergasted” that someone pointed out their white supremacism.

                Yawn.

                Uh no, Zionism is not a Christian idea

                Nope. Christian zionism predates Jewish zionism by about two decades. It’s such non-controversial history you’ll even find it on wikipedia, Clyde.

                Ethiopian Jews and Ashkenazi Jews are not actually genetically related,

                I’m genetically related to every other human being on the planet, genius - does that make me every “race” according to people like you who buy into the tenets of “race science”?

                  I have literally no idea how Jewish communities sharing specific DNA linking them to the levant has anything to do with white supremacy, or how that makes me a white supremacist. Zionism started after the Jewish Diaspora in 8th century BCE. Are all scientists that study genetics racist? Where are you getting this from and why are you so angry about it?

                    No, it didn’t. Zionism started in the late 1800s/early 1900s.

                    Only a white supremacist classifies people into “races” based on arbitrary bullcrap like “sharing specific DNA.” Methinks you don’t seem to know how white supremacism works - despite the fact that you see the world through it’s lens. It’s a pretty common symptom amongst sufferers of the particular disease we call “westernism.”

                    Zionism started after the Jewish Diaspora in 8th century BCE.

                    No it didn’t, Clyde. Again… it’s such non-controversial history you’ll even find it on wikipedia.

        Religious nationalist is not a synonym for fascist. We need to stop diluting the meaning of the word fascist.
