Ethiopian Israelis begin their protest
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSome two dozen Ethiopian Israelis are protesting in Tel Aviv in a demonstration organized in coordination with police.
Demonstrators are protesting what they call discrimination and racist attitudes by the police and other state authorities.
“This is a national protest, not just an Ethiopian one. We are saying ‘enough,'” one of the organizers, Eyayae Avraham, from a group called Dor Amitz [Brave Generation], tells The Times of Israel.
“I hope the police don’t shoot us, don’t use (tear) gas, don’t use stun grenades. This is a national problem… If the law doesn’t protect us, what’s it good for?”
