An Israeli advert for a high-end housing development has been accused of carrying a racist message, shedding light on oft-hidden tensions between Jewish communities in the country, AFP reports.
The video, which depicts a family of light-skinned Jews praying before receiving a knock on the door from their darker-skinned neighbors, was published online by the Bemuna construction company.
While the advert doesn't specifically mention either group, it draws on long-standing tensions between lighter-skinned Ashkenazi - of central and eastern European descent and who have traditionally been Israel's political and economic elite - and Sephardic Jews from the Middle East and North Africa.
