The discrimination is not just an economic injustice, its farr greater then that. I just remembered a story, which is also connected to what it says about Lavan in the Haggadah shel Pessah about how Pharoah tried killing all the male Jewish children and Lavan tried to uproot us all (even though it was his own daughters and grandchildren). The story is about how when the Yeminites came to Israel (walking threw the dessert to get their), they were greated by the secular Askenazim with the promise of work permits, and told that they would get work, but they would have to work on Shabb-t. All at first refused, but then as time went bye they weren't allowed to even go out and work on their own, they had to have permission to work, and the only way to do that was for the state to dictate where and how they would work, and that included working on the Holy Shabb-t. As most Jews know, if their is a situation where one's life in in danger (Pikuah Nefesh), one can break Shabb-t laws, and in this case it meant to go out and work on Shabb-t in order not to starve from death.
The sad part from is that this "lavan" created amoung many other of their programs expecially school so-called education, the attitude that breaking Shabb-t is okay, and not a big deal. They inserted in the minds of the first generations kids that they parents worked on Shabb-t so its not a problem for them to do what they feel like (which in Israeli society means going out to those evil bars and clubs). They tried uprooting Jews by being "lavan" which also translates as White or pure, giving Jews the false claim that its the almighty IDF, generals and government that is their protection and savior, but G-d's plans are the opposite, He in his fury and also mercy to teach us, sends us kids with rocks, who scream "G-d is Great" to also hint that its not the IDF that protects the nation of Israel, but on Him, and we should worship on Him and not the army or U.S.A. or anybody or anything else. (woow, how did I get to these points I dont know, but im guessing it had to be heard by someone on the forum).
