Reply #177: These are true points.

It is also true that, historically

1)Palestinian Arabs co-existed with the Mizrahi far better than European Christians did with the Askenazim or Sephardim.

2)Before 1948, almost no Mizrahi in other areas of the Middle East even WANTED to move to what became Israel. Some series of events(which need to be the subject of an independent investigation)led to 750,000 of them ending up in Israel, where they were treated quite badly by the Ashkenazim elite for a very long time.
