zichmich- see item on the YWN news about Eichler introducing a bill to solve these issues. It mirros what people have been saying for a long time. And the chassidische rebbes did indeed tell their chassidim to go the army- I know personally many chassidim who were part of it. BTW- Rav Chaim Schmulewitz zt’l blessed all his talmidim and otherrs who went off to war in 1967.
As far as Peylim goes (ben levi) Rav Schwadron zt’l was never involved in the actual founding of Peyilim. This organization had absolutely nothing to do with the yemenites or the maabarot. It had everything to do with the missionary activity in israel. (I was there).
As far as what went on in the maabarot- again, a lot of it is an urban legend and if there were some excesses , it was never government policy nor do I think it was done in any large number.
I never heard the story about schools but, to put this inot perspective, anyone voting for Herut (menachem begin) in those days was also discriminated from jobs. It was a deplorable way of using politics and, thank G-d, it did not quench the thirst for real yddishkeit or for menachem begin to become prime minister.
