This is a guy who has publicly and gleefully called religious Jews “inbred.” I would love to see just one anti-racist say that this man has no place in the movement.
What you are calling “religious Jews” are typically referred to as “ultra orthodox Jews”. These communities tend to not marry outside of their community leading to decreased genetic diversity and an increased number of recessive genetic conditions due to the created genetic bottlenecks. These communities have as a result had to resort to pre marital genetic screening services like Dor Yeshorim due to the high levels of local inbreeding in these communities.
So Mr. Piker was not lying when he was referring to the high levels of inbreeding in these communities. You need to question why your anger has led you to jump to the accusation that this man is a racist when he was stating a well known fact. You can’t just go around accusing everyone you don’t like of being anti semites or racists because eventually you just look uneducated and reactionary.
There are very real reasons to dislike Israel and Israeli people such as the current and historic genocide against the Palestinian people or their generally disgusting views when interviewed or questioned.
Love you leaving out the orthodox part of quote. But it’s also something known and being researched in many groups that tend to stay in their own groups for relationships and children.
