When black Jews were in Ethiopia their neighbors called them “falasha,” or “strangers.” Now that they are in Israel, many of them still feel like they are the strangers.

The Black Ethiopian experience in Israel is not much different to the experiences of Blacks in other European countries. People who have little to offer a society, seldom prosper, unless its off government handouts like in Sweden and Finland - or, they go into entertainment (including sports).

That is a very Racist, bigoted, and ignorant quote Kihnu. I suggest you actually do some research and arm yourself with better, more acceptable knowledge, besides typing a stereotypical statement.

As a former immigrant in Israel during the 90s i can tell you there is not 120 etheopians in Israel. This is Israeli propaganda that RTs gullable journalist has obviously fallen for. You can count the number of black people in Israel on one hand and i never came across any of the "many success storys" RTs reporter talks about. Imigrants black or white (in my case) are treated worse than dogs in Israel and the palistinians even worse. There are many young white africana south africans living in Israel winging about black people all day long which is not suprising since most israelis and racist white south africaners have a lot in common when it comes to their biggoted racist mentality. biggots always gravitate to the same toilet it would seem.
