'...Ethiopian Jews living in Israel have long complained of discrimination, and similar protests in 2012 followed reports that some Israeli landlords were refusing to rent out their properties to Ethiopian Jews.

'Ethiopian Israeli Jews' income is considerably lower than the general population, and they are much more likely to face limited educational opportunities and to end up in prison, according to The Ethiopian National Project, a non-governmental organisation which assists Ethiopian Jews in Israel.'

Yes. I was definitely not suggesting that racism does not exist, especially in Israel, where Mizrahim (Arab Jews) have long been discriminated against. In fact, they were so resentful of their treatment by Ashkenazim in Israel that a group called Black Panthers was formed and in late 1972 they published in their magazine an account of the false flag operations carried out by Zionists in Baghdad to stampede Iraqi Jews into emigrating to Israel.
