CR10 – “I always thought Padam Aram was in Syria” maybe you’re right.
However, your general premiss is wrong. Respect and Ahavat Chinum have to come through seeing each others greatness regardless of any personal ties. Each part of Klal Yisrael has something that we can all admire. To like Sefardim because my mom’s Sefardi is not the proper reason. It’s nature to like yourself. A “pale” white Chossid from Poland has to love a “dark dark” Sefardi from Egypt purely because he’s a Jew!
