Among the ones I know, the Ashknazim and Sfardim integrate. But I occasionally hear about discrimination against Sfardim. How this could be, is beyond my understanding.

Perhaps in the eyes of Ashknazi extremisms, the moderate Sfardim are somehow not extremist enough?

In my eyes, Sfardim are the greatest miracle that ever happened to the State of Israel.

Sfardim bring inclusiveness, cohesion, tolerance, pragmatism, and the ability to engage both ancient tradition and modern secularity.

Sfardim preserve the healthy ethical balance that Rambam cherished and that the Ashknazim lost in their dizzying polarizations against eachother.

Israel couldnt exist without Sfardim. It would be impossible for Ashknazi factions to cooperate together without the vitalizing mediation of Sfardim.

Sfardi refugees suffered terribly when antihuman Muslim leaders expelled them from Arab lands. Bad for them. But good for Israel!

God bless the Sfardim!
