Thinking about how in 1983 Ofra Haza, a Yemenite-Jew refugee, sang the song Chai at Eurovision in Munich, Germany 11 years after the Munich Massacre and only four decades after the Holocaust, with a song where the chorus says Am Yisrael Chai - The Nation of Israel Lives and it's all about joyous survival. (She placed second)

If you need to defer to a U.S.-based context of whiteness/not whiteness to understand regional systems of inequality and structural violence outside of the United States you are going to have a really hard time with decolonization writ large

Sharabi brothers harassed in UK after surviving massacre
Neria and Daniel Sharabi survived the Nova music festival massacre on 7 October, heroically saving others, only to be harassed by UK Border Control officers when they arrived in Manchester to talk about their ordeal, Sky News reports. The name Sharabi derives from Sharab,  a district in Ta’iz in south western Yemen, where  a large and ancient Jewish community settled.  It was a centre of Torah learning and distinguished rabbis were born there, including the rabbis Shalom Sharabi,Mordechai Sharabi and Shalom Shabazi.

Daniel and Neria Sharabi (right) were detained for two hours on arrival in the UK
Two Israeli brothers have claimed that they were singled out by Border Force staff because of their passports.
The brothers said they faced antisemitism and were left feeling unsafe, wanting to never return to England again after staff at Manchester Airport allegedly singled them out because of their Israeli passports.
Neria and Daniel Sharabi survived the 7 October Hamas attack on Israel and helped others caught up in the assault on the Nova music festival.
They were invited to the UK by the Jewish Representative Council (JRC) of Greater Manchester to share their story but were detained by the Border Force for more than two hours. A video of the interaction was shared widely online.
Neria told Sky News: “We’re facing this antisemitism and, honestly, if I had heard it from a civilian, it would have been okay because it’s a civilian, but when I hear it from a cop with an official job and he’s supposed to watch me and give me the feeling I’m safe and he does exactly the opposite, I don’t know what to think. After what happened, I’m not feeling safe here and probably I won’t come back here.

the paradesi synagogue in kochi, kerala, india. the first synagogue on the site, built by the city's longstanding malabari jewish community, was destroyed by portugese who'd colonized the area in their persecution of locals. it was rebuilt in 1568 by spanish and portugese jews who fled persecution and later expulsion, hence the name "paradesi" ("foreign" in malayalam).
these sephardic jews and a community of jews of mixed african and european descent who were formerly enslaved ("meshuchrarim", "freedmen" in hebrew) joined the malabari jewish community of kochi and somewhat integrated. they were later joined by some iraqi, persian, yemenite, afghan, and dutch sephardic jews. the middle eastern and european jews were considered "white jews" and permitted malabari jews and meshuchrarim to worship in the synagogue. however, in what seems like a combination of local caste dynamics and racism, malabari jews were not allowed full membership. meshuchrarim weren't allowed in at all, but were instead made to sit outside during services and not allowed their own place of worship or other communal rights.
as the "white jews" tended to be rather wealthy from trade, this synagogue contains multiple antiquities. they include belgian glass chandeliers on its walls, hand-painted porcelain tiles from china on its floors, and an oriental rug that was gifted by ethiopian emperor haile selassie.
