This day of rage and violent demonstrations by the Ethiopian community in Israel could easily make people forget that never in human history has there been a similar act of benevolence towards a whole community by a developed nation. Persecuting them is standard Israeli practice.”This unholy alliance of some of the Ethiopian community leaders and left wing radicals threatens to undermine the notable progress that the Ethiopian community has made over the past 30 plus years, successfully integrating into Israeli society. The defamation of the State of Israel and Israeli society cannot be based on random examples of discrimination and prejudice against Ethiopian Israelis. Yet these self-appointed Ethiopian community leaders have wholly embraced the ideology of victimhood. We must continue and fight against the phenomena of discrimination and prejudice, yet reject the false and vicious slandering of the State of Israel by self-appointed Ethiopian community leaders aided and abetted and, of course, funded by left wing radical organizations and ideologies who have no desire to encourage the momentous efforts by Israeli society to fully integrate the Ethiopian community in all of its complexities, but instead use the Ethiopian community to defame the State of Israel.
