Kuwait?! Who cares about Kuwait? And how about Japan? Ever heard about Japan's nationality law? Anyway, after reading my post #1666 once again, I come to the conclusion that both the Nazis and Israelis share the same worldview --or Weltanschauung if you like... So, why all that bad blood between the Jews and the Nazis? Oh! the penny just dropped: 'cause the Nazis were the first to hit upon it! They nosed you out 60 years ago.... LOL! Within Israel there are really four levels of citizenship, the first three being various levels of Jewish participation in Israeli society, which are thoroughly racialized. At the top of the pyramid are the Ashkenazi, the white European Jews. At the level of power the huge contingent of recent Russian immigrants -- now about 20 percent of Israeli Jews -- are being assimilated into the European-Ashkenazi sector, though they are retaining a very distinct cultural identity. The next level down, which is now probably the largest component of the Jewish population, is the Mizrachi or Sephardic Jews, who are from the Arab countries. At the bottom of the Jewish pyramid are the Ethiopian Jews, who are black. You can go into the poorest parts of Jewish West Jerusalem and find that it's predominantly Ethiopian. This social and economic stratification took shape throughout the last 50 years as different groups of Jews from different part of the world came, for very different reasons, to Israel. So while the divisions reflected national origins, they play out in a profoundly racialized way. The Yemeni Jews in particular faced extraordinary discrimination. They were transported more or less involuntarily from Yemen to Israel. On arrival they were held in primitive camps, and many Yemeni babies were stolen from their mothers and given for adoption to Ashkenazi families. In the early 1990s a high-profile campaign began to try to reunite some of those shattered families. Beneath all these layers of Jews come the Palestinian citizens. A rigid hierarchy, highly racialized both within and between religious or national groups, orchestrates Israeli social life. Much of it is legally enforced. The most significant difference between this scenario and other similar ones is in the world's perception of the Israeli reality. For the overwhelming majority of the world's population, South Africa was always considered a pariah state. But Israel is not in that position. Israel is given a pass, if you will, on the question of racism.[...] From: Message 15900915 Those fanatical settlers should not have erected a shrine in memory of Baruch Goldstein but in memory of Nazi chief evangelist Alfred Rosenberg instead--LOL!
