"The Moroccan-born Mr Peretz comes from a part of Israeli society that has always felt ill-treated by the Israeli elites of European descent who have traditionally dominated the Labour party. As a Sephardi - a Jew of Middle Eastern descent - he may take away one of Likud's in-built electoral strengths." news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4456422.stmIf Peretz is from Morocco, how the heck is he of middle eastern descent? Ahh....they must mean descent as in being of Hebrew descent right? Meaning he is originally of middle eastern descent...  Well if that were the case, then how come they say the so called elites of Israel are of "european descent"? Wouldn't the same rule apply to them? Are they europeans, khazars, or hebrews? Why can't people make up their mind? Gotta love the stupidity of the BBC. Is Peretz north african or middle eastern? And if he is Sephardi, isn't he of european descent as well? How do they explain this nonsense? Since when is Iberia not europe? And since when is Morocco NOT north africa? |

The way I understand it, the BBC defines the Askhenazis as Jews of recent European descent, while Sphardics are of more remote European (Iberian) descent, and more recent predominantly Me origins. Or it could be plain ignorance. |

Or it could be plain ignorance. I respect that explanation. Its entirely possible. However, I think the BBC is counting on the fact that the masses don't know this. I think they are trying to create a false perception by catering to people's preconceptions of what "racism" is. And there is also the possibility I am reading too much into this. |

They're just playing up the fact that he isn't Ashkenazi. It's retarded.
