About Me
- Name: Carl in Jerusalem
- Location: Jerusalem, Israel
I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004. You can contact me at: IsraelMatzav at gmail dot com

That's misleading. It should take into account Congress, as well. There may be only 2 Black Senators (or is it three?); but there are 127 Black Congressmen. The Knesset has only one house, by comparison. There are 9 Muslims in Knesset that I know of.
I think a more true comparison would be percentage in the legislative body vs percentage in the general population. And ultimately, color or ethnic group shouldn't mean much. The more egalitarian the society, the more we should expect that interests cross ethnic or racial lines.
