Chapter 4 Three little birds(1) ; “Elite” (3/3)

Ashkenazi was the founding member of Israel, which is made up of migrants of various races and nationalities. In particular, the family of "elite" was an superior upper class called WASP. Generally speaking, WASP is synonymous with establishment on the east coast of the United States, so-called "White (W), Anglo (A), Saxon (S), Protestant (P)". But here in Israel WASP means White (W), Ashkenazi(A), Sabra (S) and Protexia (P). Sabra means the first settlers in Israel, like the immigrant families who landed in the United States on the Mayflower. Protexia means the people who has good connections.

 

He is called an "elite" by his fellow because he has such a splendid genealogy and good connections.
