Israel’s presumptive whiteness is maintained by transparent, virtual racial coding

Evidence

Israel is the only state outside of the European continental land mass to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest, for instance. In this scheme of things, it seems, Israel must be European, presumptively white. But in keeping with contemporary racial americanization, with born again racism, Israel’s whiteness is transparent, virtual, invisible. — David Theo Goldberg, The Threat of Race, 594 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
