"Racism is rife in Israel, bolstered by the huge influx of the Eastern Europeans"

Andrew, such as you, I consider this article refreshing and your attitude to the issue at hand is similar to mine. However by the words above you disqualify yourself. I, my family and some of my friends are from Eastern Europe and I tell you we also find the racism in Israel repulsive to the point of nausea. Contrary to what you believe of Eastern Europe, the first time I`ve heard racist rants in mainstream politics and a prevailing attitude of giving legitimacy to the master-race vs. inferior race debate was in Israel, not in Romania.

I am sorry to discover no one, not even a Swedish, can keep himself away from racism, of one kind or another.
