relflecting upon my prejudice

Thank you to those who make me step back and look at myself in the back drop of the bigger picture. I don’t know how you do it, but you seem to always reveal a treasure.

I find myself wondering how anti-Israel sentiment can be racist if Jewishness is not a race? How can Israeli people be a race if the requirement for entry is to be Jewish, not a ‘race’? Yet I see within Israel, a racist attitude towards non-white Jews. My own bigotry is not racial, rather it is spiritual.

I recognize my rejection of  the bigotry of their religious ideals of superiority and right to exist above all religions.  I acknowledge that I am prejudiced against their racism and bigotry towards all non-white Jews.
