Re: In Israel, European Jews treat Arabic Jews with contempt, especially in religious circles.

Oh, but that's merely petty prejudices among members of the same family... That kind of harmless, internecine chiding happens in other societies as well: in Europe where Germans and Scandinavians snub the "Club Med" (ie Southern Europe) for its alleged messiness... In Belgium, between Flemings and Walloons... In Italy between Northerners and Southerners:

Bossi came to prominence in Italy at the end of the 1980s with his virulent attacks on the partitocrazia (rule by political parties) which he identified with a corrupt, backward south. [Italian] Southerners, whom he labelled `Africans' were therefore blamed for all Italy's ills. Bossi's proposed solution was an independent northern Italian state (to be known as Padania).

Yet, at the end of the day, Askhenazim's "contempt" for their Sephardic brethren has not prevented Iranian Jews such as Moshe Katzav and Shaul Mofaz, or Moroccan Jew David Levy, to make it to the top....
