‘Our blood is just like yours’
An Ethiopian Israeli stands next to a pool of blood in Rabin Square, and remarks: “See our blood is just like yours.”

“You see that, that’s your brother you’re doing that to. That’s your brother you’re putting in jail,” another demonstrator comments to police as they carry out arrests.

Yet another demonstrator, who is not identified, says he should have joined a combat unit, because he says we fight all these wars, but this is the “real war.”
On the sidelines of the violent protest, and in sharp contrast to the explosions and yelling, Ethiopian Israelis are calmly speaking to bystanders about the problems of racism in Israel.
