I  do  not  understand  Ken  Wolman's  point about the rather dispicable
behavior 200 years ago of certain Western Sefardim of no  status  within
the  Sefardic  Community  (French  and  Dutch  Sefardim  are  of  marano
background and are not Sefardim Tehorim).

Some Sefardim act like  scum  and  therefore  the  behavior  of  leftist
Ashkenazi slime of the past 100 years is excused?

I  should  point  out  that  somewhat  earlier in history, Maria Theresa
decided to expel the Jews of Bohemia and Moravia.  Baron Aguilar,  Dutch
Sefardim  and Viennese Sefardim at great inconvenience to themselves and
financial loss successfully pressured the Imperial government to rescind
this  decree.   The  Sefardim  acted  despite the contempt they felt for
Ashkenazim because Jewish morality required such behavior.  There is  no
comparable act committed by Ashkenazim on behalf of Sefardim.
