This Week in White Jewish Supremacy (12/27)
David Shasha
The Sephardic Community Alliance and Anatoly Sharansky
In the 11/15 This Week in the Self-Hating Sephardim I kicked off the proceedings with a note on the very different ways that Rabbi Sacks and Rabbi Faur were honored by the Self-Haters:

I made special note of the Brooklyn SYs and their inaptly named Sephardic Community Alliance, very Holy Roman Empire if you get my drift:
Indeed, the SCA board never acknowledged Faur’s passing, much less put out a special statement from its board.
I have also noted on a number of occasions their slap in the face of Sephardim with their Maimonides program led by Anti-Maimonidean Ashkenazi Moshe Halbertal:

Naturally that program was moderated by Mijal Bitton and featured Rabbi Joseph Dweck!
Right before Shabbat we received another pro-Sephardi missive from the organization:
This past week, SCA facilitated a community-wide high school program with seniors from our high schools: Magen David Yeshivah Joe & Celia Esses High School, Hillel Yeshivah High School & Yeshivah of Flatbush Joel Braverman High School. The discussion, led by SCA Board Members Jeffrey Beyda & Ricky Novick, was with Natan Sharansky, hero to the Jewish people, and co-author Gil Troy discussing their new book "Never Alone". Students were able to directly ask Natan & Gil questions about the book that they read earlier this month to truly appreciate what they went through and received life lessons they will never forget. See below to watch this recorded discussion!
Indeed, one wonders what, if anything, is actually Sephardic about the Sephardic Community Alliance!
It is all White Jewish Supremacy.
Yehuda Kurtzer and Jewish Political “Diversity”
Last Sunday we received an announcement form the Jewish Book Council featuring Yehuda “Sephardim are not part of the New Jewish Canon” Kurtzer:
Before we get to him, there is his conversation partner Nancy Sinkoff and her own White Jewish Supremacy.
We recently encountered her in SHU 954 discussing the radical Neo-Con Jewish historian Lucy Dawidowicz:

Here is that interview from Jewish Currents:
https://jewishcurrents.org/the-yiddishist-neocon/
It is an apt pairing, because Kurtzer sees the world exclusively out of Ashkenazi eyes:

Though, as we have also seen, some of those Yiddish ethnocentrists think he is not nearly Ashkenazi enough!

Sinkoff and Kurtzer will be discussing Jewish political diversity, which made me think of Kurtzer’s deployment in his New Jewish Canon of our dear friend Mijal Bitton, who plays the part of a token Sephardi, saying the things the White Jewish Supremacists want to hear:
https://groups.google.com/g/davidshasha/c/8InDVESFuJs/m/37KvpqkmAQAJ
And in that recent case we saw her present the ignorant and malevolent Self-Hating Sephardim as Trumpists.
Indeed, because Ashkenazi Jews completely control all Jewish representation and discussion, Kurtzer and Sinkoff can present their conversation in terms of “pluralism.”
It could not be a crueler joke.
Disgraced Adulterer Rabbi Marc Schneier is All Over the UAE HASBARAH
Last Tuesday Hamptons macher Rabbi Schneier gave us a jam-packed e-mail newsletter on his White Jewish Gulf Supremacy.
Here is how it began:
The Foundation for Ethnic Understanding led by President Rabbi Marc Schneier launched in the Kingdom of Bahrain the first-ever tourism initiative to the Gulf, in response to a personal request by His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Khalifa of Bahrain to bring North American Jews to the Kingdom. This pioneering initiative is in partnership with Best of Bahrain, the Kingdom's premier destination management company, and Da'at Travel, one of the United States' leading Jewish travel companies. H.E. Zayed bin Rashid Al Zayani, Minister of Industry, Commerce and Tourism hosted the launch reception in Manama, Bahrain,
in honor of Rabbi Schneier on December 15th.
Prior to the celebration of the American Jewish tourism launch, Rabbi Schneier was honored in the United Arab Emirates for the printing and distribution in the Gulf of his seminal book, Sons of Abraham: A Candid Conversation about the Issues That Divide and Unite Jews and Muslims, the definitive text in Muslim-Jewish relations. At the gala reception in Dubai on December 13th, in Rabbi Schneier's honor, Motivate Media Group announced the translation of the book in 2021 into Arabic and Hebrew along with curriculum study guides for high school and
university students throughout the region.
Naturally, there was a plethora of very flattering articles that shows how important he is:

And in Arabic too:

He is apparently a very busy man!
For those who might not be familiar with his oeuvre, Schneier is a man who loves adultery:
He has not taken the Eli Mansour way:

For this he was booted by the RCA:
Indeed, he seems to fit right in with those Gulf Sheikhs!
HASBARAH means never having to say you’re sorry.
