Hi Miriam,
I believe that all humans are racist. That is, they will treat better those
who are like themselves and the less someone is like you the more likely it
is that you would treat them poorly. It doesn't seem to matter whetehr or
not you were treated poorly by others, the tendency toward racism and
bigotry is very strong in us humans. Hopefully, we will someday evolve into
a more civilized form, but today is surely not that day.
IF anyone can come up with an exception to this powerful rule of human
nature, I'd love to read about it.

Many years ago, in the 70's and 80's, I had adoption clients who were
Israeli, and others who had emigrated here from Issrael and it was then that
I learned that there is a great deal of racism in Israel, that the Jews of
color are treated very differently from european white Jews. Either it has
gotten a lot worse, or it's just more apparent now. I suppose that the fact
that Israel has gotten so much support from the wealthy Jewish establishment
and, therefore, Congress, has made them less cautious.

President Barack Obama.

It was then that "joke" quickly erased and apologized.
"Do you know what coffee is Obama? Black and poor," said Judy Shalom
Nir-Mozes, which has 74,400 followers. This was followed by a shock,
condemnation and accusations of racism, prompting her to delete the tweet,
the AFP reports.
"Sorry, it was a stupid joke, that someone had told me," she wrote on her
Twitter accountJudyMozes in English. "President Obama, you should not write
inappropriate joke I heard. I love people regardless of race and religion,
"she is the wife of the minister, speaking directly to the leader of the
United States.
"I'm sorry if I offended anyone. I hope to stay married when my husband
lands and hear what I've done," concluded Judy Shalom.
Her husband, Silvan Shalom, a member of the conservative Likud Party,
Benjamin Netanyahu, is also in charge of strategic relations with the United
States. Judy can not, for which it is known that there is no mincing words,
is from the family of Moses, which owns the top-selling Israeli newspaper
"Yediot Ahronot". She runs a weekly radio program and participates in
numerous television shows.
On Twitter and Facebook announces open messages on a variety of social and
political issues, including criticism of members of the Israeli left, who
believed their missing patriotism. Prime Minister Netanyahu is also a
frequent target of her remarks.
Before he wiped his tweet came a series of angry responses. One Twitter user
wrote that he was disgusted with what is tweeted something racist about the
president. Another wrote that he must apologize as soon as possible. "You
really do great harm to Israel's friends abroad," wrote the Twitter user to
transmit Israeli media.
It was later revealed that in Hebrew the "scariest" response to his tweet
received from her husband, expressing hope that the affair will end in
divorce. Israeli media said that this is not the first time that Judy Shalom
addressed the US president, but was previously denied.
