Is he wrong?
2. Ignorance isn't bliss!
Moshino ,   Tel Aviv   (07.11.16)
Back to the dark ages, aren't we? There was a time the left was synonymous with the intelligentsia. Nowadays this couldn't be further from the truth. Let me retreat into my cave and get a chicken foot. And for all those who try to explain the difference between Sephardic and Mizrahi, just shut up, will you? Who cares!? Feeling superior today? I'll tell you all something you should already know by now: racists and gas chambers did not discriminate between any kind, origin or denomination of Judaism. Reality check!
3. Sephardim are the life blood of Israel...
JVC ,   LA, USA   (07.11.16)
The passion, soul and color of that state comes from its Sephardic population. Not to mention the hottest food. And women.
4. Dear friend of Garbus, no doubt?Indeed people ARE primitive:
(07.11.16)
some worship deities, with no shred of proof of their existence, some sing the "Internazionale" & wave a red flag, despite lots of proof, that it is a deadly, false and utterly moronic notion (Communism). Again, some insist that Islam is a religion of peace. Others claim that there is a "moderate" Islam, also without any shred of proof, since like Unicorn: nobody has seen it yet...the list of dumb& primitive groups in any society is long....Oh: many vote Buji, Zippi,Kahlon, Lapid....then there are those that think that having Zoabi in Knesset is a great idea:-))
5. How to answer racial hatred with hatred of another group
jerry heiss ,   tel aviv   (07.11.16)
Good old Regev. It is so in character for her to turn a justified attack on a racist into a racial attack on another group is Israeli society - the so-called elitists. (Read as Ashkenazis ?)
6. Find Miri Regev a new job please!
leon ,   jerusalem   (07.11.16)
I am one of those "elitists" who Miri Regev has denounced, for supporting the JFF. I am a committed Jerusalemite and together with other English speakers, mums and dads and grandparents from all walks of life, who attended the Opening night were disgusted by her prepared political agenda and comments.
she spoke in Ivrit to an internationally represented audience who gave their time and goodwill to Israel and Jerusalem. She's obviously in the wrong job. Her role should be to support ALL the Arts, not denigrate them.
7. where to rub the rabbit foot?
richard ,   herzliyah   (07.11.16)
I dont know anyone at all who fits the caricature Osher described…. and i know a lot of sepharadim and ashkenazim both intellectual/university and not. it seems a very funny ‘take off’ on an unreal stereotype, much like the western and xn takeoffs on jews, or irishmen, or poles….. not at all nice, not at all accurate, nor i suspect intended to be. seems to me he got pissed and defensive about some event or other, and let the bullshit fly. not exactly the thing to be done publically by a public figure. it’s about the truth level of ‘all goyim are drunks and beat their wives’ kind of thing i grew up believing…. but really, who puts rabbit feet on their head? you wear it on your keychain and rub it for good luck if youre ashkenazi. so let the treferei alone, apologize for your public loss of temper, dont go and get drunk and beat your wife, and hide your rabbit foot keychain inferiority, please.
