On Wednesday, thousands of Ethiopian-Israelis protested in Tel Aviv against alleged police brutality in response to the killing of an Ethiopian man two weeks ago. By Associated PressEthiopian-Israelis and their supporters protested in Tel Aviv against police violence in response to an incident two weeks ago in which an Ethiopian man was killed. Demonstrators blocked a major highway in Tel Aviv on Wednesday and paraded through major avenues of the city protesting what they consider to be systemic police mistreatment of the minority group. They carried signs saying “police are killing Beita Yisrael,” a Hebrew term for the Ethiopian Jewish community. Earlier this month, a policeman shot dead 24-year-old Yehuda Biadga, a mentally distressed man wielding a knife, in Bat Yam.
