Before WW One, the Jews in Europe were called Orientals and seen as swarthy-skinned (and not deserving to live in Europe on that account), which indeed many of them were. I live in Jerusalem and maybe I'm not especially dark, but I have been taken for an Arab by Arabs on several occasions. Many Jews are darker than many of the Arabs, and that goes for some of my family --Ashkenazim-- who are fairly dark, darker-skinned than I am. There is a range of skin colors among both Jews and Arabs. The whole issue is a red herring used just to deny Jewish rights to live in Israel. And so-called "Leftists" use it too.<br /><br />Just to illustrate the problem, several Arabs have been murdered by Arab terrorists who mistook them for Jews.Eliyahu m'Tsiyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07973268399414290195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-63314542290003679292016-04-19T20:11:51.039+01:002016-04-19T20:11:51.039+01:00I cannot read Haaretz in Hebrew but what I've ...I cannot read Haaretz in Hebrew but what I've read in English I agree, it is a paper of far left sympathy, representing<br />the Jews of the E European diaspora in Israel and elitist. <br />If after 68 years only now is the traditions of Mizrahim being introduced in education, that is really a shame on Israel. <br />After 3, 500 years Jews of the Mid east are retroactively "Arab" what a farce. And I am a Jew of the E. European diaspora in America. And if my DNA tells me I'm of Mid East descent, I'm going to declare myself a " person of color" So now I'm an <br />"Arab" too.

Most fans did not like him either. <br /><br />Since Haaretz complains about screams like "death to Arabs," the Israeli Arab team, Bney Sakhnin, has fans who scream "death to Jews." They include Beitar fans among those Jews who should die or be killed. Maybe the "death to Jews" scream is OK with Haaretz.<br /><br />Eliyahu m'Tsiyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07973268399414290195noreply@blogger.com
