On the subject of the skin cancer thing: Ashkenazi Jews get cancer. Pretty much every single one of us has a family history filled with cancer, and the BRCA mutations - which 2.5% of Ashkenazim carry - makes us more predisposed to, among other things, melanoma. In the last two generations of my family alone, I can list off seven different kinds of cancer, and we're not even BRCA-positive.

So in addition to the last anon's excellent point, the "ha ha, skin cancer" people are using our genes (which are the way they are because of two millennia of antisemitism, forced endogamy, near-genocide, and the 'white'-looking ones getting to live) as a gotcha without even understanding why they mutate so much. Disgusting.

And if it matters, in the calculation of the highest increases in skin cancer rates from 1990-2017, three of the top ten countries were MENA and two were in East Asia.

Given that we’re getting a Golda Meir movie, I’m really not looking to people taking her statement that “there is no such a thing as a Palestinian” out of context—that context being that the Palestinian identity was mostly constructed post-the establishment of Israel and in response to it—which I personally think is a moot point now and was also largely a moot point when she said it, but it’s not the endorsement of genocide I’ve seen claimed too many times
