The children of Operation Moses immigrants have given birth to 7,645 children of their own in Israel, with the most common names being Israel, Abraham, Moshe, and Mazal. The Ethiopian immigrants came with immense courage and have integrated into Israeli society in a way that commands respect and admiration. Today, Ethiopian immigrants are leaders across various fields in Israel, and I am confident this trend will continue to grow in the coming years."

Tribeca Film Festival 2024 Film Review: “Made In Ethiopia”
“Economic development,” she insists, “is the solution.”RELATED: Tribeca Festival 2024: The RundownMotto can’t be faulted for worshipping at this particular altar. But “Made in Ethiopia” demonstrates that the fate of Ethiopia is likely not the same as that of China. More importantly, profit from the Eastern Industry Park is not being reinvested into Ethiopia or even Dukem in a substantive manner. “Made in Ethiopia” causes one to ask the question: For whom is China developing Ethiopia? Please visit https://www.tribecafilm.com/festival for more information on this film and other programming at the 2024 Tribeca Festival.

To those who disagree with me or the millions of other Christians who embrace the LGBTQ+ community, I offer you a challenge. Embrace this conversation and this month with humility. Let your guard down so you can see past the letters and flags and embrace the full human dignity and worth of the LGBTQ+ community.

Ethiopian Forces Likely Committed Genocide During Tigray War
A new report by the US-based New Lines Institute concludes there is compelling evidence that Ethiopian forces committed genocidal acts during the Tigray war. The 120-page draft cites multiple independent sources indicating that Ethiopian and its allies engaged in “acts constituting the crime of genocide” from 2020 to 2022. It stated that Ethiopian forces had an intent to destroy Tigrayans as an ethnic group and employed mass killings and starvation tactics, among others, as tools toward this end. The Tigray war began in November 2020, with the Ethiopian military moving into the northern region following its government’s bid for autonomy. The report aligns with UN findings, and calls for Ethiopia to be brought before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) despite its denial of war crimes.

10K world record holder Rhonex Kipruto banned for 6 years in doping case
MONACO (AP) — Kenyan runner Rhonex Kipruto has been stripped of his world record in men’s 10-kilometer road racing and banned for six years in a doping case. A disciplinary panel ruled that abnormalities in Kipruto’s blood samples pointed to “a deliberate and sophisticated doping regime” and Kipruto likely had help from unknown third parties. No banned substance was found in Kipruto’s system and the case rested on data from his biological passport, which tracks athletes’ blood samples over time to detect irregularities and changes that point to blood doping. Kipruto also sought to dispute the validity of some blood samples in the case. Fellow Kenyan runner Rodgers Kwemoi, who placed fourth behind Kipruto in the world championship 10,000 in 2019, was banned for six years last month in a similar case based around blood sample data.
