Brown v. the Board of WTFPosted on Jun 17, 2010
Tens of thousands of dark-suited ultra-Orthodox protesters took to the streets of Jerusalem and Bnei Brak on Thursday, angry at the arrest of parents who refused a court order requiring their children of European ancestry to go to school with Jewish children of Middle Eastern ancestry.

When I read about this, I wanted to vomit. Our very own Jewish Taliban. These people have chosen to be monsters.
They are the opposite of everything I hold dear. The only thing they share with me is they are Jews.
They will be the death of us all, these bastards.

For an Ashkenazi Jew to marry a Sephardic Jew is frowned upon in Israel. Sephardics Jews mainly come from North Africa & Arab countries.
In Apartheid Israel where racism & discrimination are as transparent as daylight, Sephardic Jews are looked upon as second class citizens. Arabs, Moslems, Christians are 3rd & 4th class citizens. They get the menial jobs if they are given any at all. Ashkenazi Jews are given first choice.

There’s been a lot of animosity among various groups in Israel for a very long
Report thistime. There has also been an increasing level of corruption. And yes, there are
needy Israelis. All things considered, it’s not the best place for Jews to live in.
Many have left while others don’t have any other choice but stay there. A large
number would leave if they could. The utopia is unravelling.

My back ground is Ashkenazi Jew the bond between two cities Mother Vienna father Budapest, Austro-hungarian Jew, thats me. Yes FREEDOM of expression, for Jews is all important, slavery 2000 years, Inquistion 400 years, ghetto living 800 years, holocaust, no freedom, the book the printing press the cell phone the google-facebook, jewish finger prints all over the concept and practise. For some education and how, what you tell your children becomes a freedom of speech issue. Freedom of expression, has no limits or boundaries, as long as Iam harmless, leave me alone. There is minimal 5 different types of Jews in Israel all of which have One common denominator, Freedom of Life! when you have a Tribe!, 5770 years old, your tree of life will have many branches. Just as the difference between the Pope-Catholics and Protestants (the right to protest), both very different, yet worship the same Rabbi of Nazareth, on the cross, yes folks they Kneel before the Jew on the Cross. Israel is a small place For many BIG IDEAS!

I visited Israel twice in the 80’s and yes- they were socially segregated. Darker Middle Eastern Jews are called “Sephardic” and European Jews “Ashkenazi”. In general, the guy in the office is Ashkanazi and the guy working in the garage is Sephardic.
Report thisThen lower are the Israeli Arabs, even if they were well to do or successful, they had to bank in Jordan because Israel can take over their bank accounts just with a suspicion. The lowest- the Palestinians were diggin’holes and building buildings- cheap labor. But like us- they are a Democracy. They have a plethora of right wing zealots immigrating into Israel for 2 decades, and they have been a nightmare for that country’s Peace movement.

Israel is a hot bed of racism. Who knew?

Do I detect a bit of internal racism in the Zionist
State? It would almost be funny if it wasn’t such a
hypocritical farce.
And what’s this ad I see on the Haartz site,
requesting help for some of Israel’s most desperate.
They have 5 million people. We send them a minimum of
$3 BILLION a year. Why is anybody desperate in
Israel? Hell, even the dogs and cats should have
their own castle at that kind of wealth.
Oh, that’s right. They spend all of our loot on WMD
Report thisto bully the rest of the world with.

So, the truth has been made manifest: most of the Jews in Israel are anti-semites!
Not news to me.

Hahaha, “The Ashkenazi parents insist they aren’t racist, but want to keep the classrooms segregated, as they have been for years”

Hey, Mike3:
Doesn’t the US get a partial pass for saving all those eastern European muslims in Bosnia etc. ?
Seems that some folks (especially followers of Islam) have VERY short memories and are way short on the gratitude scale.
P.S. I was/am a total opponent of the Iraqi invasion-occupation. And I want us out of Afghanistan ASAP.

Actually, the uber-Orthodox were protesting Ethiopian Jews attending the school.

So the Jewish and gentile neo-cons and American Zionists went to all that trouble, to redirect America’s foreign policy so it would fight Israel’s wars and destabilize the whole Middle-East. Killing all those hundreds of thousands of Muslims while quietly stealing land from the Palestinians: for THIS? Well, that’s chutzpah pal!
