Ethiopian-Israelis to hold rally in Jerusalem

Police are gearing up for a large Ethiopian-Israeli protest in Jerusalem on Monday afternoon.

Organizers say the rally will draw some 4,000 protesters. Police turnout estimates are lower, but the cops are nonetheless preparing for possible road closures should protesters block traffic.

The demonstration comes several days after policeman were filmed tasing an Ethiopian Israeli man during what appears to be a routine arrest in central Israel.

The Ethiopian-Israeli community held massive protests over the summer against institutionalized racism and police brutality.
