David Lau is Chief Ashkenazi Rabbi. Yiszhak Yosef is his Sephardi counterpart. They represent Jewish Orthodoxy. Both are overt racists.
Lau calls African American basketball players “kushim.” It’s the Israeli equivalent of “nigger.”
He was caught on tape saying: “Why do you care whether these kushim who are paid in Tel Aviv beat the kushim who are paid in Greece?”
MK Pnina Tamano-Shata has Ethopian roots. She accused Lau of racism, saying:
“It’s unacceptable that a man who sees himself as worthy of serving as Israel’s chief rabbi exhibits such poor choice of words.” .... http://www.intifada-palestine.com
