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). linkseuropa.demon.co.uk 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....

Who's next? Egypt Deploys 1,000 Police After Christians Killed Sat Mar 6, 9:10 AM ET Add World - Reuters to My Yahoo! SOHAG, Egypt (Reuters) - Egyptian authorities deployed some 1,000 police around a southern town on Saturday to forestall any Muslim-Christian clashes after two Christian men were killed in a street brawl, security sources said. The Christians were axed to death after a donkey being ridden by a Muslim man slipped on the wet roadway outside their house in the town of Salamoun, about 350 km (220 miles) south of Cairo, they said. The donkey rider was later arrested and questioned. Witnesses in the town said there had been no further violence but the situation was tense. Salamoun, a Nile valley town of about 40,000 people, is close to 40 percent Coptic Christian but was also a stronghold of militant Islamists who fought the government in the 1990s. Tensions between the Muslim and Christian communities are a sporadic problem in southern Egypt. The last major outbreak of violence was in 1999, when 20 Christians were killed and 33 people wounded in the southern village of Kosheh.
