[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some Sephardic Jews are of European ancestry. Remember Spain during a Andalusian times was a melting pot. People came from all over - the Middle East, North Africa and Europe. Jews were then kicked out during the inquisition and fled to Morocco. They are Sephardic yes but their Ancestry is European. I mean if you go to the Middle East right know you will see Arabs will European features. Their ancestors probably were originally from Europe but they settled in the Middle East. Your mom is your mom. I wouldn’t over think this.[/quote]

Very ignorant post. Arabs (and Jews) were RAPED during the Crusades and other foreign invaders. All Sephardic Jews (Jews originating in Spain/Portugal) have a connection to the Iberian Peninsula -Sefard is the Hebrew word for Spain. Many Mizrachim do not have any genetic connection to Europe - you are conflating prayer style with ethnicity (some Mizrachim pray in the Sephardic rite - most do not). Some European Jewish communities are neither Ashkenazi or Sephardic (e.g., Bene Roma). [b]Please get out of your racist, Ashkenormative bubble[/b]. [/quote]

Please don't be so harsh.  Pp may simply be misinformed -- or maybe you are.[/quote]

Weird response. Many Ashkenazi are ignorant of wider Jewish history (like you) - and this ignorance promotes harmful Jewish stereotypes about what a Jew looks like, sounds like, and prays like.  :roll: [/quote]

Oh hi, crazy “Ashkenormative” poster, who constantly throws out accusations without backing them up with anything.[/quote]
