The Ashkenazi Revolution

245advanced during the Ashkenazi golden age there). Even the allegedpoverty of North African Jewry is partly legend, for in the coffers ofAlgerian Jewry there was emmense wealth. But Ben-Gurion ignores allthese facts and attributes Sephardo-Mizrahi backwardness exclusively toconsiderations of conditions and environment. I have noticed that he usesthe word “Ashkenazi” only when he refers to us in a negative way, forexample regarding the minority of natives. When he refers to us in apositive way, he speaks of “the Jews of Europe”. If the historical name“Ashkenazi” angers the Sephardo-Mizrahim, then Ben-Gurion is careful torefrain from letting it slip from his lips. Yiddish, the great worldlylanguage, burns his ears. But for the ocean of ignorance and weakmindednessof the “development zones”, he has only forgiving words.According to my estimates, 3-5 percent of Ashkenazim see Ben-Gurion asthe man who saved them from the Arabs but turned them over to theSephardim. About 10 percent of Ashkenazim do not forgive him forbringing “them”, but, in recognizing their debt that they owe Ben-Gurionfor building the state, they hide their anger within their heart. In the Stateof Israel, there are some hundred thousand Ashkenazim whose hatredtoward the Sephardo-Mizrahim turns them into something like barrels offlammable dust just waiting for a spark to ignite them. This moment islikely to arrive when the leaders of Sepharad realize their promise andarouse more riots like those of Wadi Salib, and as a result an Ashkenaziwill be murdered, or a number of Ashkenazim will be murdered by theincited mob. The entire world, Jewish and non-Jewish, will be shocked.The Ashkenazim will leave their walls and turn into roving Dervishes.They will not strike at the Sephardim, but they will storm against Ben-Gurion and they will rain curses and blasphemies upon him, which, incomparison, will make the curses of Neturei Karta against the violators ofthe Sabbath in Jerusalem, look like nothing. This day will be a day ofjudgment against Ben-Gurion, against Mapai, and against the mixedAshkenazi-Sephardi civilization in its entirety.13
