Let’s Play Right Wing Jewish Connect-the-Dots with the Self-Hating Sephardim and Their Ashkenazi Masters
We recently saw the London Sephardic community participating in and sponsoring a lecture with the Right Wing racist radical Melanie Phillips, the Ann Coulter of England:

As part of my attack on Bevis Marks I made note of Rabbi Shalom Morris and his Islamophobia and Eurocentric racism:

Morris gave an interview to Tablet magazine whose track record on the Sephardic issue is less than stellar:
Tablet has made sure to keep the Sephardim in the kitchen, while the Ashkenazim get to sit at the Adult Jewish Table where all the serious issues are discussed.
It is little wonder that Tablet is a central part of the radical Right Wing world of The Tikvah Fund:
Tablet senior writer Liel Leibovitz is a card-carrying member of this massive Right Wing Jewish conspiracy and has let us know it by his great admiration for Congregation Shearith Israel’s current rabbi Meir Soloveichik:
Leibovitz recently cross-promoted Soloveichik’s Tikvah Fund classes on “Religious Liberty”:

We will recall that Soloveichik, a proud “leader” in the contemporary Sephardic community, a community he truly despises, participated in a program with Utah Senator Mike Lee at The Hoover Institute in Washington, DC to present the New Christian Radicalism in a way that seriously distorts and manipulates early American Jewish History and the heritage of Sephardic Jewish Humanism:
The whole “Religious Liberty” movement is a Right Wing sham that has nothing to do with “Liberty” and everything to do with imposing religious tests on America and its public institutions.
Meir Soloveichik has become a central figure in this charade.
We have known about Soloveichik’s historical-religious manipulation of the Sephardic tradition since his offensive Wall Street Journal op-ed “The Jews of the American Revolution”:
He has made SI a very welcoming home for the Ashkenazi Neo-Cons and Straussians, as we see from the following program announcement featuring University of Chicago’s Leon Kass:

Kass, naturally, is part of the American Enterprise Institute:

He was chosen by President George W. Bush to head his Council on Bio-Ethics:
For those who might not recall Bush’s anti-science Christian fundamentalism and how it hurt research in this country, there is this reminder:

Kass and Soloveichik indeed make a great pair!
We should also note that Soloveichik has just been awarded something called the Canterbury Medal by the Becket Law Firm:

And it just so happens that Soloveichik is on Becket’s Board of Trustees!

Here is the Becket casework Hall of Fame:

Digging through the list, we find that they were proudly involved as counsel for the notorious Hobby Lobby:

Hobby Lobby has become the flashpoint in religious extremism today; which brings us right back to The Tikvah Fund and its shenanigans:
The Hobby Lobby Bible Museum is a prime example of the New Jewish-Christian radical fundamentalist alliance:
The Tikvah Fund has used its media arm Mosaic magazine to vigorously promote the Museum:
What we are seeing today is the historic abdication of Sephardim from promoting their traditional values and intellectual-religious heritage and handing over the keys of our institutions to our enemies.
We have hateful Ashkenazim running Congregation Shearith Israel and the American Sephardi Federation.
And we have Self-Hating Sephardim installing those Ashkenazim into those elite positions.
But what is even worse is that those Self-Hating Sephardim have fully adopted the warped Right Wing radicalism of the Ashkenazim as they militantly suppress our noble heritage.
Ashkenazim continue to control the Jewish community under the banner of their White Jewish Supremacy.
It is therefore little surprise that we have had a split in the Sephardic world between Right Wing Zionist radicals and Haredi extremist fanatics.
I have discussed the problem in my article “The New Sephardic Jewish Binary: Between Meir Kahane and Moshe Feinstein”:
As we play this lethal game of Connect-the-Dots we see the double New Convivencia, between Ashkenazim and Sephardim on the one side, and radical Right Wing Jews and Christians on the other side.
The interconnectedness of the Jewish world has left authentic Sephardic culture outside of the consensus.
Andalusian Convivencia is completely off the table, as we have seen Self-Haters like Rabbi Marc Angel, Devin Naar, and Vanessa Paloma attack the classical Sephardic heritage:
It has become depressingly obvious that the Ashkenazi extremists have completely had their way with us, and that we continue to sink in a morass of ignorance and malevolence.
We have turned our backs on our inheritance and allowed our persecutors to dictate our thoughts and actions.
We have indeed become a pathetic community.
