Quoting Noa Epstein [not related to the pedo AFIAK] (#Haaretz Commentary):
[...] "The question is not why Barak said this. The question is why it's so easy for us to move past it when it's said in the right language, in the right voice, by the right person."
The Ashkenazi left and right share the same fundamental contempt for Arabs/Mizrahim [Arab Jews]—they just deploy it differently. Labor excludes them from power while calling it meritocracy. #Likud weaponizes them as foot soldiers while maintaining Ashkenazi control of actual power.
