Israel: The Story of the Jewish People (1965)
by Julien Bryan

In his film Israel: The Story of the Jewish People (1965), Julien Bryan perceptively addresses the issue of discrimination against Musta'arabi, Misrahi, and Sefaradi Jews from the Middle East and North Africa, calling "integration" of these Jewish communities "Israel's most serious internal problem".

I believe that when Mr. Bryan says "internal problem", he means not only socially, within the Jewish community, but also geographically, within the boundaries of the State of Israel, save the ongoing conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, which has taken on a more dominant "external" dimension (from an Israeli perspective) by 1965.
