I wrote a little about the Ashkenazi/Sephardi problems within the exclusive population of the Jewish State at:
How to be a Jewish Nigger in Israel - 1
but I didn't (just two weeks ago) realise what Ashkenazi paranoia can really be like:
Read this: (extracts) from:
Post-Zionism and the Sephardi Question
by Meyrav Wurmser - Middle East Quarterly Spring 2005
"In July 2004, for example, a poem appeared online entitled, "I Am an Arab Refugee":
When I hear Fayruz singing,
"I shall never forget thee, Palestine,"
I swear to you with my right hand that at once I am a Palestinian.
All of a sudden I know:
I am an Arab refugee
and, if not,let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth.
The author is not a Palestinian refugee but rather an Israeli Jew. His name is Sami Shalom Chetrit, a Mizrahi professor at Hebrew University in Jerusalem who, along with Mizrahi academics like Ella Shohat, Eli Avraham, Oren Yiftachel, Yehouda Shenhav, Pnina Motzafi-Haller and others has developed a radical critique of ethnic relations in Israel. True to post-Zionism, an intellectual movement that believes that Zionism lacks moral validity, post-Zionist Mizrahi writers believe that Israel has no right to exist as a Jewish state.
The post-Zionist Mizrahi writers continue to live their parents' insults and humiliations at the hands of the European Ashkenazi Jewish establishment that absorbed them in Israel after immigration. Discriminatory policies created a continuing social and economic gap between Mizrahim and Ashkenazim.
The radical Mizrahim who turned to post-Zionism tap into anger beyond the well-known complaints of past ill-treatment, including the maabarot, the squalid tent cities into which Mizrahim were placed upon arrival in Israel; the humiliation of Moroccan and other Mizrahi Jews when Israeli immigration authorities shaved their heads and sprayed their bodies with the pesticide DDT.
[Just as Germans did to Jews in Auschwitz ]
Read on if you really want to.
But it seems that little Meyrav, together with her husband, David, have insinuated themselves into the very heart of American politics:
Meyrav Wurmser, the director of the Center for Middle East Policy at the neoconservative-aligned Hudson Institute in Washington, DC, and a contributing expert at the Israel-based Ariel Center, is a longtime proponent of hardline Likud Party policies in the Middle East and, along with her husband David Wurmser (an adviser on Mideast issues to Vice President Dick Cheney), a member of an elite clique of policy wonks who helped shape ideas that seem to have heavily influenced the George W. Bush administration's response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks
David Wurmser's contributions to American foreign policy have also been profound.
US 'must break Iran and Syria regimes'
US hawk David Wurmser 'plotted Iran war'
He was, until he resigned, the major Mid-East advisor to the one-time Wisconsin telephone linesman who is still Vice President of the United States, despite all reasonable calls for his dismissal for incompetence and unreasonable arrogance.
In the "Good Old Days" (1953), the Rosenbergs were executed in the United States for working for a Foreign Power.
The only difference between these two sets of traitors in the USA is that the Rosenbergs worked for a supposed enemy, while the Wurmsers work for Uncle Sam's master.
I believe, as do many others, that the Rosenbergs were judicially murdered during one of America's fits of directed xenophobia.
Luckily for the Wurmsers, judicial murder of supposed spies is no longer practiced (visibly) in America.
