Whatever Shas politicians are, they are not "like any other Jews".
They are part of the Erev Zeir - "The Mixed Minitude" - men who belive in Hashem and observe all the mitzvos - but are still disloyal
reshoyim who act contrary to his will.
Shas supported & enabled Oslo and all its dreadful sequellae.
These men would sell their own mothers and even their own neshomos and even all of Eretz Yisrael for gelt - not gelt so much for their own personal use, but for the Shas Sefardi mosdos and education system!
In their own way, Shas Sefards are as bad,
maybe worse, than the Ashkenazi contingent of the Erev Zeir, the Neturei Karta!
Shas is strongly anti-Kahanist and anti-Kach. If R.Kahane was alive, they would eat him alive. Even though Chaim is himself half Sefard, Shas Ministers of the Interior give Chaim no mercy in his attempts to get in to Israel.But plain Ethiopian Black goyim of zero Jewish yichus, they gleefully invite in by the tens of thousands!
