The average Ashkenazi IQ is somewhere between 105-120, the average Sephardic IQ is about 97, and the average Mizrahi IQ is 92.
REPORT: The real estate company Bemnuna, which caters to the national-religious community, caused a backlash on Monday when it released a promotional video for a new housing project in the Karmei Gat neighborhood of Kiryat Gat intended for Israelis of Ashkenazi descent, while ridiculing Mizrahim.
The video shows an Ashkenazi family lighting Hanukka candles and singing songs, when a knock on the door spreads fear across their faces.
The door abruptly opens and an exaggerated stereotypical Mizrahi Jew enters asking to borrow sugar. He then sees the Hanukka celebration and yells out the door to a friend, and the two invite themselves in to the chagrin of the Ashkenazi family – who reminisce what it would be like to light candles with other Ashkenazim.
A narrator cuts in and reads: “Do you also dream of your own home? Would you like neighbors who are to your liking?” And then introduces the national-religious housing project in Karmei Gat…
MK Dov Henin, head of the Knesset Housing Lobby, penned a letter to Housing Minister Yoav Galant (Kulanu) on Monday and called on him to intervene immediately and clarify that the government will not allow housing discrimination.
“The video presents a stereotypical, racist view lacking basic respect for the secular Mizrahi family compared to the religious Ashkenazi family, presented as the ideal Jewish family.
This advertisement is disturbing and outrageous, especially considering the decades of discrimination in housing among different groups in Israel, between religious and secular, between Ashkenazim and Mizrahim, and between Jews and Arabs,” he wrote.
“A government that closes its eyes in front of such advertising practices enables the exclusion of entire sectors from the right to housing and is a government collaborating with racial discrimination,” he added.
Henin also criticized the government for investing significant funds in a project that “excludes Mizrahim and secular [Jews].”
COMMENTS:
* Is it such “a crime” wishing to marry and live among similar minded people of similar backgrounds?
* I guess we all prefer to mix with people like ourselves however we shouldn’t kid ourselves that this is because people not like us are inferior.
