Israels Schwartze Problem€”And Ours

By Takuan Seiyo

[Previously by Takuan Seiyo: The Case Of The €œDisappeared€� Subprime
Minority Borrower]

"Israel's mob wars are so lethal that the U.S. State Department has
issued travel advisories warning Americans of the danger from "bombs,
grenades, anti- tank missiles, and small-arms fire" from mobsters fighting
each with no regard for collateral damage.

On November 17, 2008, The Jerusalem Post announced Mobster Yaakov Alperon
assassinated [By Abe Selig].The godfather of the Alperon mob family had
just been dispatched to the next world with the aid of a bomb that
exploded in his car on a crowded Tel Aviv intersection.

The story referred to the rival Abutbul and Abergil families, with whom
the Alperons battled over a lucrative bottle-recycling racket. Several
visits to Israel and Morocco, and past residence in France, caused me to
notice that all these crime families bear Maghrebian-Jewish names, i.e.
these are dark-skinned Jews mostly from Morocco, who have as much in
common with Wittgenstein, Mahler and Bronfman as I have with Queen
Latifah.

Well, maybe its only five degrees of separation instead of six. Notice
these Ab and Al prefixes.

A primer of Israeli crime [By Amir Zohar, Haaretz, December 1,
2006]informs us that the fourth Maghrebian crime family is the
Ohaninas€”"Rafi and Moshe Ohanina, from Kfar Sava, who want to avenge the
murder of their brother, Hananya" (NB: by the just-deceased Yaakov
Alperon). The fifth mob family of Levantine origin is that of Riko
Shirazi, a notorious extortion and money laundering racketeer. Though no
biographical information about Mr. Shirazi is available, the surname
originates somewhere in the crescent between Iran and Morocco.

From Arabian Jews to Arabs. The sixth Israeli mob family is the Jarushis,
who, legend has it, "fired the first LAW missile in the underworld." They
are described as the "No. 1 police target in the Arab sector." The rest of
the Arab crime families mentioned are the Karaja hamula (clan), the Abu
Ziads, the Mugrabis, the al-Issawi, Nazia and Sheikh Malik Khariri, the
Abdel Kader family from Taibeh, and the Khamed and Awari families from
Nazareth.

The only classy outfit on the Israeli mob scene seems to be the Azazma
Bedouin tribe, which has "unchallenged control of the desert," is
"meticulous about upholding agreements and faithful to everyone who pays
good money and on time," and "Israeli Jews do not mess with them."

The Ashkenazim (European Jews) seem to have a single boutique firm in the
Israeli underworld. Predictably, its not based on family or tribal
ties. The godfather, Ze'ev Rosenstein, was until recently tooling about in
an armored Mercedes 320 and was a regular staple in the Israeli society
columns. Facing extradition to the US on drug trafficking charges,
Rosenstein entrusted Amir Mulner (note Ashkenazi, i.e. European, surname)
with the management of the business during his "absence." Mulner is
described as No. 1 "engineer" and "up-and-coming star" of the Israeli
underworld.

Incidentally, on Jan. 2, 2008, an arbitration "summit" in the lobby of the
luxury Daniel hotel turned violent, as "knives and guns were drawn" and
Yaakov Alperon stabbed Amir Mulner in the neck. After that, Alperon went
into hiding and, as per this weeks news, has now disappeared for good
within the twisted shards of his car.

And so it goes €”ethny against ethny, the East and the West that cannot
meet even when facing a common enemy. Brown-skin people with a full sigma
below the mean IQ of white-skin people and an "I and My Brother Against My
Cousin" mentality. Middleasterners versus Europeans; tribalism and
physicality versus a civic culture of respect for law, order and
rationality.

One additional aspect of the mob scene in Israel is the dreaded Russian
Mafiya, with roots among the Russian Jewish immigrants in Brighton Beach,
but of worldwide power and presence. The most notorious member is
Ukrainian-born Semion Mogilevich, but others like Monya Elson and Ludwig
"Tarzan" Fainberg are no slouches either. Most of these international
gangsters hold American, Russian and Israeli citizenships, and have much
impact in Israel, though their base is not there.

These are, by definition Ashkenazim, and many of considerable intellect
and education. But having grown up in the Soviet system, they have deviant
souls and predatory hearts, with the tribal unity of a Hun raider party set
loose in the fairyland of the West with an insatiable craving for plunder.

A small country does not offer a large enough arena for the talents of an
ambitious man. And so we find that the world trade in the drug Ecstasy is
a specialty of Israeli criminals, who control, among others, 75 percent of
the Ecstasy market in the U.S.

But these are not mere Israelis, as closer scrutiny reveals.

There is Jacob Orgad, an Israeli-Moroccan immigrant in Los Angeles who
started out as an electronics salesman, moved on to become Heidi Fleiss
enforcer, and from that climbed to became Americas King of Ecstasy,
before ending up in Federal prison, acting as a rabbi.

Orgads counterpart on the East Coast, particularly in Florida and New
York, was another Israeli of Moroccan origin, Oded Tuito. Tuito, who had
the distinction of being one of eight Designated Foreign Narcotics
Kingpins, died in June 2008 of a heart attack while in the custody of the
Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.

Among the various criminals linked to the great Orgad and Tuito mobs there
was the occasional goyische or Ashkenazi name like Kevin McLoughlin or
Melissa Schwartz. But the prevalence of Israelis of North African origin
is startling . A casual Internet search will yield multiple quotes of this
sort:

* "Expected to go to jury this week in L.A. Federal Court is the case
of Gilad Gadasi, 26, of Woodland Hills, who was arrested May 6 and charged
with conspiracy to distribute more than 118,000 Ecstasy tablets. And last
week, police in New York arrested two Israelis, David Roash, 28, and
Israel Ashenazi [sic], 25, for possession of 450 pounds of E, more than a
million tablets packed into eight duffel bags and a suitcase. "[How Cookie
Crumbled, By Sheldon Teitelbaum, The Jewish Journal, August 2, 2001]

* "The biggest fish named in the indictment is Gabriel Ben Harosh, the
reputed 39-year-old jet-setting No. 2 man in the Jerusalem Network.

"Ben Harosh€¦ was taken into custody in Toronto and is awaiting
extradition. Though investigators describe Ben Harosh in sworn affidavits
as a "high-ranking member of an Israeli organized crime syndicate," [Ben
Haroshs lawyer] Chesnoff says his Moroccan-born client is a legitimate
businessman." [Vegas has new crime element: Israeli mob, by Jeff German,
Las Vegas Sun, April 30, 2004]

Additional drug mobster Israelis with Maghrebian-Jewish names that a brief
Internet search will yield are Sasson Barashy and Alex Maimon, Yaniv Yona,
Ereza Abutbul, and David Bitton.

A certain Semitic catholicity in the American and worldwide narcotic pills
trade is provided by a few Ashkenazi Israelis or Arabs. Among the former is
Ilan Zarger, the head of the notorious Brooklyn Terror Squad, who famously
not only acted as supplier of Ecstasy to the Italian mob hit-man Sammy
"The Bull" Gravano but was caught on tape threatening to "whack" Gravano
over a price dispute.. Among the latter are a Syrian, Mounir Deiri, and
John and Tamer Ibrahim, two notorious LA drug kingpins, who are
Egyptian-born Coptic Christians.

At least since 1965, U.S. Immigration Law has been spectacularly naïve
and dysfunctional with respect to attracting and filtering the better
demographic segment from the large pool of potential immigrants to
America, whether legal or illegal. Actually, the American Establishment no
longer believes that a phrase like "better demographic segment" ought to be
uttered in polite society. But, to return to the case of Israel, there are
qualitative demographic changes in the source populations there as well,
and they are controversial there too.

During my first visit to Israel, in the early 60s, the prestige areas of
the city were adorned with cafés that would not have been out of place
in Vienna. That went for the lingua franca€”primarily high Polish and
German with a smattering of native-born Hebrew€”and the quality of the
pastries. When the young Placido Domingo sought to perfect his craft in
the early 60s, he did so for three years with Hebrew National Opera. When
the young wunderkind Zubin Mehta looked to make his mark in the world of
classical music in the late 60s, its with the Israel Philharmonic he
did it.

But now, Ashkenazim€”the founding ethny of Israel€”are 37% of the
population. By 2000, my last visit there, the cafés had been replaced by
shwarma joints and fast food franchises. The role of classical music had
diminished greatly, as the old Ashkenazim die out and their children have
one fourth the number of children of the Arab Jews and one fifth that of
the super-orthodox Jews and the Arabs.

In additional to the generational divide and the Idiocracy factor,
Israelis of non-European extraction do not appreciate classical music and
protest its support by the Ashkenazi establishment. And Israel has its own
Affirmative Action, through which the Arab-origin Jews of a more primitive
cultural cast and fewer educational attainments have been elevated to
positions of unearned power. Through their influence, the country drifts
further into the Middle-Eastern cultural sphere.

In the old days, Israeli Ashkenazim used to refer to their co-citizens of
Arab-Jewish origins as schwartze, which is the same German/Yiddish word
for €œblack€� that the older Ashkenazi Jewish immigrants in New York
used in reference to American blacks. It stood in both places as a code
word for lower cultural attainment and unseemly behavior. Now the term is
gone there, as it is here, and anyone who uses it is likely subjected to
public censure.

But when words and perceptions that discriminate between qualities are
gone, quality is gone.

Israel no longer feels like an outpost of Old Europe in the Middle East.
Instead, its more like a cross between a Lebanese shopping center and a
Moscow disco.

But then, Europe no longer feels like an outpost of Old Europe either. Sic
transit gloria mundi."
