One of the movement leaders Kochavi Shemesh was way ahead of his time he met with PLO leaders back in 1972. Another movement leader Charlie Biton later on joined in with The Rakach party and got a seat in the Knesset (Israeli parlament). Unfortanately some of the other members split from the party. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.143.139.149 (talk • contribs) 29 August 2006.

This should probably be incorporated in some form at some point. Tewfik^Talk 08:22, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

The journal of the Israeli Black Panthers in 1972 claimed: "One of the 'most splendid and rich communities was destroyed, its members reduced to indigents'; a community that 'ruled over most of the resources of Iraq ... was turned into a ruled group, discriminated against and oppressed in every aspect'. A community that prided itself on its scholarship subsequently produced fewer academics, in Israeli universities, than it brought with it from Iraq. A community sure of its own moral values and cultural integrity became in Israel a breeding ground 'for delinquents of all kinds'. A community which 'used to produce splendid sons could raise only "handicapped" sons in Israel'". ^[1]

I agree that something should be done with that, and it is a good point. Any reason not to work on this yourself? - Jmabel | Talk 19:51, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "islamic" vs "arab"

I changed "second generation olim from Islamic countries, that is Mizrahi Jews" to "second generation olim from Arab countries, that is Mizrahi Jews". Upon further reading, "Arab" is problematic, since yeah, Mizrahim include N. Africa, Caucasian, Persian, etc. However, I'm not sure that "Islamic" is the right word either, and it's not what our page on Mizrahim uses. Can we say "second generation olim from Middle Eastern countries"? <eleland/talkedits> 00:37, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
