We’ve all heard that one before right? It’s now the cry given out by European Jews, i.e. white skinned, who don’t want their daughters going to school with more native Jews, read that darker skinned and it’s something straight out of 1950s-60s America. That just goes to prove how Israel is not the “haven” for equality and goodness it tells so many people it is. Strange things come out of the mouths of people who want to justify their prejudices. How about this one for an excuse to keep ones daughters from being in the same school as the others
Esther Bark, 50, who has seven daughters, said the issue is keeping the girls away from the temptations of the modern world. ”To suddenly put them in an open-minded place is not good for them,” she said.
This also goes to show you how some Israelis view womanhood. Evidently it’s quite alright to keep their daughters in the dark, ignorant, closed minded instead of open minded. Can we conclude that being barefoot and pregnant won’t be far behind? So much for being a light unto the nations. It’s interesting the Ashkhenazi take what could be considered a fascist position and makes me wonder if their mind set more closely resembles their ‘nazi’ brethren of another era in European history. It would appear Israelis would rather live in the darkness of a bygone era that includes tribalism and racism…..or rather the white Israelis that is. I don’t understand how it is that elements of Israeli society cling so quickly to such racist tendencies when some of the same people were once at the forefront of a nascent civil rights movement in America…unless what’s good for the goose isn’t always good for the gander.
