Sephardi Mizrachi My personal experience is that I ve been called a self hating Jew by Ashkenaz when I affirm my identity as a Jewish Arab It happened when I studied Arabic it happens in Shul when I say that non European Jews in Israel face racism and it happens when I let people know I have Muslim friends I find that the term isn t just used to silence dissent in the Jewish community it s also used to erase our histories and experiences Section POV tag added Jayjg s belligerent blind revert accompanied by a personal attack left the second paragraph of the Usage section using an epithet as though it were a legitimate term
