The Ashkenazi Revolution

221Moses Montefiore and the means and tools that he had at his disposal.Their policy, which strived toward integration, expressed itself as pleas andrequests, toward the Ashkenazim, that they receive them within the generalcircle of Jews and not cast them aside. These pleas frequently took theguise of frightful humility, which was the complete opposite of thearrogance with which the Sephardic leaders conducted themselves in earliergenerations.It should be noted also that at this stage the Sephardic leaders did notrelinquish the special status of Sepharad, its special ambitions or its hatredtoward Ashkenaz. Their goal was to prevent the Ashkenazim, at any cost,from taking the correct path, that of Ashkenazi independence, and to drawAshkenaz as deeply as possible into the circle of the Confederacy of JewishPeoples. The Sephardic leaders called upon Ashkenazim to be “Jews”, tocling to basic “Jewish” assets, but at the same time they saw as assets – inaddition to the Bible, the Mishnah and the Talmud – only those treasuresthat were created by Sepharad. Ashkenazi values were always discreditedby the Sephardic leaders, and the only merit that they admitted we havewas our organizational abilities, which we “stole” from the Germans, asnoted previously in this book.

As he cultivated anoutward appearance as a generic Jew, migrated to the Land of Israel withthe help of Ashkenazi money, and then was aided by the establishmentsthat are called the Jewish Agency or the government of Israel, but areactually Ashkenazi establishments. In addition to the legitimate aid hereceived, he also squeezed from Ashkenazi sources left and right. After hewas done with this stage, Ben Haroush removed his generic Jewish mask,revealed his true Sephardic face, and wrought devestation upon theAshkenazim. Every Sephardic leader is two-faced. Since he is dependantupon Ashkenaz, he is a great advocate for the Jewish People in general, and
