That also places them on the "outside." I have even heard stories of Americans being discouraged from putting a Hebrew name on the ID card instead of an English one, being told that foreign names were popular.<br /><br />More anti-Jewish, assimilative, be like Europe/US, mentality.Esser Agarothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12853681733864707489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32118121.post-49390544610913559942011-03-31T05:59:23.675+02:002011-03-31T05:59:23.675+02:00Maybe I live in a "different Israel," bu...Maybe I live in a "different Israel," but I don't see discrimination against Ethiopian immigrants. I taught some girls for a couple of months in a special class. (They were all Jewish.) That bothered me, because it separates them.

I spoke to the people helping them, bringing up just the point that if a name like that applies for a job versus an Israeli name, most people will just go for names they can pronounce.Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402874037427009327noreply@blogger.com
