I believe Edot Hamizrach is a contemporary Israeli term to refer to “non-Spanish” Sephardim, like Iraqis, Kurds, etc.

Regarding the Mizrachi movement, I don’t think there’s anything derogatory about it. No different than saying “Bnei Akiva” or any other movement.

Btw, NO MOROCCANS refer to themselves as Mizrahim unless it’s in an Israeli cultural context. Mizrahi is a modern, invented term (just like Haredi actually)
