This is the issue?!!?  Then why are we discussing (at your instigation) the
print treatment of Jews by an American company?  And, except for the
superhero Sabra, they're all American Jews (and by statistical representation
generally Ashkenazic).

You have not been discussing the above issue.  I think the above is the basis
for a lot of the hostility I've seen in your submissions, and I truly wish
you (and anyone else poorly treated) had been treated better in Israel.  But
you have taken your pain away from the cause and directed it elsewhere.

P.S. Getting back to the issue(?), it is not totally unreasonable to ask
Marvel to show some Sephardic Jews, too.  (I think it isn't that important
but I see it is to you.)  But, of course, not all Sephardic Jews are
religious and the way you want shown, either.  I've known exceptions to
your descriptions.
