Should be: "Ashkenazim don't feel inferior to any other group." And for a reason.

Whereas the debate and arguments between Jews is tongue-in-cheek, your brothers' equivalent is bombs and suicide martyrs. You wish you were a Jew uh?

What's it like watching Jews entertain themselves? Strange uh? No fireworks, no blood, no hard swearing, just brotherly spurring.

Who can contest the greatness of Maimonides and Yosef Caro. Also, let's mention the compassion and warm acceptance.

unfortunatelty this article has some truth to it.

Stop contradicting yourself!

BETTER FOOD THAN TEIMANIM (NOT JUST BREAD/HILBE/SOUP W/HAWAIGE) WARM AND WILL FIGHT FOR YOU TO THE DEATH! :-) BWARA SARA D'KIBAR'AWAL

I don't deny that there is bigotry between some ashkenazim and sephardim, but since both are of the same racial origin , racism is the wrong term.

Listening to and reading Israeli opinions on other races and cultures, including internal ethinic differences, leads me to believe they are perhaps the most hateful, paranoid, and narcissistic people in the world. Is this a response to anti-semitism or is it a product of a sense of entitlement over others?

Perhaps somebody should have informed that woman at the Ministry of Interior that what she considers to be beautiful Ashkenazi names are akin to what African-Americans refer to as "slave names". In countries like Germany, one of the many forms of discrimination against Jews is that they were prohibited from keeping their family names and instead were given names based on the towns they came from or the kind of work they did. Not only that, but I wonder what that woman would think was so beautiful about a name like Lipshitz?

I also noticed it's the 3-rd article of this kind today. What's up with Ynet, I wonder. BTW I'm also an Ashkenaz. My boyfriend is a Sephard, we live together since 2002. I don't think I remember myself feeling superior in this relationship.

She isn't worth the time you're spending on replying her talkbacks. She isn't even worth the time you're spending on reading them.

I think you'll find that the vast majority of Israelis don't feel superior to non-Jews. However, they rightly feel superior to imbeciles spewing nonsense.

I'm addicted to Mizrahi food and music.

Israel has a 25% Ashkenazi-Sephardi intermarriage rate and its slowly rising. What's more, meeting in Israel, the two streams are fusing and creating a fantastic dynamic. Its the secular *ashkenazi elites* (not all secular ashkenazim, just the snooty old guards and their childred) who feel superior to everyone else, including their religious Ashkenzi kin, and who are terrified by the wonderful "levantinization" of Israeli culture that is taking place. We are creating something new that contains elements of both. The pinch faced secular european socialist-zionist is finding his gods of handl and mozart replaced by a new and dynamic Jewish culture they have no control over. Its a good thing, and both camps bring good things to the table (except cholent - I have no value of cholent).

I LOVE Sephardim - I JUST LOVE THEM!!! They are warm and family oriented and humble. The men are dark skinned and very yummy!!!!

How could you possibly know? Real entertainment is far beyond your heads.

This article is simplistic and insulting to every Israeli.

Yemenites are not Sephardim.

MUSTARAVIM ARE JEWS WHO WERE IN ARABIC LANDS WHO SPOKE THE LOCAL LANGUAGE AND CUSTOMS B4 THE SPANISH JEWS WERE EXPELLED AND RAN THERE AND TOOK CONTROLL OF THE MUSTARABIM COMMUNITIES. ROMANIOTIM WERE JEWS WHO WERE IN LANDS THAT THE ROMANS OCCUPIED AND REMAINED THERE AFTERWORDS SEPHARADIM CAME TO THEIR COMMUNITIES TOO AND TOOK CONTROL OF THE HALAKHIC AUTHORITIES.

You are all fools. Ashkenazim are descendants of Turkish and Slavic tribes who lived under the Khazar kingdom and converted to Judaism in the 8th century, Sephardim are descendants of Berber tribes who converted during the 7th century and occupied Spain with the Arabs.
