What is the "Adva Center on Equality of Social Justice" set up by a husband and wife team? How did this couple come to these statistics? Seems to me this is irrisponsible and deceptive repporting.

to the same extent as Ashkenazim.

Why would I think that? A few observations, just off the top of my head. Who is a ''Sephardic'' ??? Maybe they mean Mizrahi - since not all Oriental Jews are descended from the Spanish exiles. But, while this may have been a classification many years ago, this is not exactly true anymore. There has been a great deal of inter-marriage in Israel between the two communities. Am I Sephardi or Ashkenazi? My father's family is Ashkenazi, my mother's is actually Sephardi, of Spanish descent. How do they know who is Mizrahi, just by surname? They don't say. In any case, while we certainly have economic problems here, most are related to poor education, life-style choices, an inefficient bloated bureaucracy, the oligarchic nature of our economy, & generally, the abysmally low quality of our political leadership.

Adva is a fishing operation, whereby they produce canned 'research' that is used to justifiy getting funding from so-called progressive foundations. It is a nice scam and the worse they say it is here the more economic security they enjoy.

HIGHER EARNERS THEN THEY WILL BE HIGHER EARNERS TOO. THE CONCEPT THAT H-SHEM MADE ALL PEOPLE WITH EQUAL TALENTS AND EQUAL DESIRE TO GIVE SERVICE TO THE MANKIND, IS A LIBERAL FLAW. MOSHE

that's pretty insane. something is seriously broken with the system to let such disparity exist...

Rich entrepreneurs sell their companies abroad once they're tired of them, or the management grows above their heads. The only benefit to Israel is the millions these bozos spread around for their personal villas and perhaps any tax money they pay (although with their connections they likely pay no taxes). The common people get zippo except the message: if you want to make it you better go abroad.

technologies and human capital alike.
