as does our Chief Rabbi - Shlomo Amar Od Yosef Chai

In fact I just underlined this issue and you may see in my talkback 12 Real Jews Live in Tel-Aviv to http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3328468,00.html You are lied, abused to draft soldiers against Arabs. Just Because you are more brave and you are more sacrificeable than other Israeli soldiers. You should be made believe you were jews to sacrifice yourself. Because No money would suffice to support Isaeli war crimes. Anytime you may understand the reality, When you want to marry to a White Jews? What kind of reactions you get? You are not accepted. But when you want to be soldiers to be killed they will accept you. Ethiopians You are not alone, there are more, even among those white jews. They are also lied. I recommend you to read Quran and find your true religion who does not dicriminate any people.

Israel's smug Ashkenazic elites refer to Jerusalem as 'real estate' to be traded in for 10 years (may be) of sort of 'peace' offer.

#2 from Turkey says "I recommend you to read Quran and find your true religion who does not dicriminate any people. " hahahahah. Thanks! I really needed some humor tonight :) :) :)

I think its silly that Israel is sometimes gripped by petty schisms. Sephardim vs Ashkenazim, secular vs religious, etc. Although I have to say that discrimination and petty differences are embraced more by elder people. To marry one of those gorgeous Ethiopian girls, I will stand in line for the special permit!

Ethiopian have some challenges in Israel but none compared to the challenges of Christians and Jews in Arab countries.

You obviously are very ignorant about Israel and Judiasm. The Ethiopian Jews are proud of their heritage and cetainly do not want to become Muslims or to leave Israel. The reason that they serve in the army and fight so bravely is because of their patriotism. My Ethioian Jewish friends love living in Israel . You make a big mistake not understanding this. It is BECAUSE they love this land that they want to remove any foolish governmental or religous disrimination.

In Ethiopia, and when they come to Israel.

I may be Asheknazi and Conservative, but the Ethiopian Jews are as much my brothers and sisters and any other Jew. Individuals may squabble, Separdic vs Asheknazi, Religious vs Secular, but we are all Jewish, all brothers and all native to Eretz Yisrael. Brothers squabble but love each other. Am Yisrael Chai!

here too you two people realy can refuel the fire and rekindle the arab ashkenzi war since its not yet a moslem jewish war yet and the sapherdic are paying the price ike you do come over to marjayoun foor some tea or chai

i was taught, as a kid, that these people are not jews, it was a scam. then when I grew older, traveled to israel and started to lean on my own I found out how wrong this is, how mean and sick my rabbi was as a kid to teach me these things (his words were more explicit, but you get the idea). i am constantly astonished by why israel niggles over issues like this. your little nation could be removed from the map with a sneeze! you should be happy anyone wants to live there and tries to hard to make that place home! I agree with other posts, they fight and live there just like the white jews, so they deserve equality. why is the establishment so worried about a diversity of opinion and type and kind amongst jews? it is so strange, the age and multifaceted nature of our kind and faith is one of the things that differentiates us from other "faiths" - diversity is an asset not a hinderance. forgive my ignorance, but what is with the umbrellas?

ARE YOU KIDDING? THE QURAN "TRUE RELIGION"?YOU SEEK TO CAUSE MORE TROUBLE BETWEEN ETHIOPIAN JEWS AND ISRAEL. YOU WILL NOT SUCCEED. THEY ARE TRUE JEWS AND THEY HAVE NO INTEREST TO JOIN YOUR SO CALLED"TRUE RELIGION" THE LATER IS CAUSING HAVOC AROUND THE WORLD.QURAN DISCRIMINATES AGAINST WHOMEVER IS NOT A MUSLIM. IN FACT, IT SPEAKS ABOUT JIHAD AGAINST WHOMEVER IS NOT A MUSLIM. REAL TOLERANT..... DO YOU THINK THAT PEOPLE ARE STUPID? KEEP YOUR RELIGION TO YOURSELVES AND LEAVE THE REST OF US ALONE!!!!!

Tolerance in Moslem countries? Which ones? And certainly not for Jews in any fashion. And our Ethiopian Jews are not interested in that relgion for good reason.

On Saturday, November 11, a large congregation consisting of several hundred Ethiopian Christian "Jews" hosted evangelist Morris Cerullo at their congregation which met at Tel Aviv at a government facility. At this Christian service attended by at least 300 Ethiopian Christian "Jews", Cerullo called for these Ethiopian Christians to go out to convert all the other Ethiopians in Israel to Christianity. Given that these 300 or so Ethiopians cost Israel $100,000 each to absorb into Israel, they committed fraud on a grand scale of $30 million dollars at a time when hundreds of thousands of real Jews are living in poverty in Israel. For Israel to allow someone like Cerullo to evangelize and call for all Ethiopian Jews to be converted to Christianity is to aid this neo-Nazi in his fanatical campaign to wipe out the Jewish religion and culture in Israel. Any other Ethiopian Christians who came to Israel as Jews are frauds, as are any Ethiopian Jews who convert to Christianity after arriving in Israel. The Felasha Mura Christians are waiting to flood Israel and further undermine Israel as a Jewish state.

You want a piece of their action too? They would love to circumcise you with a pipe bomb tied to your dinky.

Israeli society is dominated by WASPs (acronym for White Ashkenazi Sabra with 'Protekzia'). Do not expect equality unless you have a proven background from a "Shtetl" in Eastern Europe. The Judaism of folk from Eastern/Asian/African origin will always be doubted. Interestingly enough, the "Jewishness" of the Russians was never doubted, although there is (only) now consensus that a great many of them were/are non-Jews.

THIS ARTICLE QUOTES ONE AS PRAYING TOWARDS THE TEMPLE MOUNT. I DO NOT KNOW ANY JEWS THAT PRAY TOWARDS THE TEMPLE MOUNT. I PRAY TOWARDS THE KOTEL ,THE WALL. BLOOD SPILLED? CAN ISRAEL AFFORD TO TEST EVERY ONE OF THEIR BLOOD FOR AIDS. AFRICA THE HIGHEST INCIDENTS OF AIDS. WHY ARE THEY JEWISH? IS IT BECAUSE THEY HAVE A FEW CUSTOMS PICKED UP FROM THE JEWISH TRADERS A FEW HUNDRED YEARS AGO.. GRAVE YARDS? I SEE DOCUMENTARIES OF THEIR GRAVEYARDS WITH A CROSS CARVED IN TEH CENTER OF THE STAR OF DAVID. SERVING IN THE IDF? THEY ARE SERVING IN THE IDF FOR ISRAEL BENIFITS AND OPPORTUNITIES NOT FOR BEING JEWISH.ARABS SERVE IN THE IDF. CONVERSIONS? THEY MUST HAVE A ORTHODOX TORAH CONVERSION TO BE A JEW.THEY HAVE CENTURIES OF INTERMARRIGES IF THEY "WERE" JEWS AT ONE TIME 3000 YEARS AGO. SMUG? PRIDE I SMORE LIKE IT, SMUG IS YOUR LIBERAL INSECURITY. JUDAISM AS DEFINED BY MOSES AS GIVEN TO HIM BY 'GD'. OR AS DEFINED BY THE LIBERAL BLEEDING HEART APOLOGETIC 'JEWS'' BY MOSES, YOU ARE ASSURED A PLACE IN THE NEXT WORLD. AS DEFINED BY THE LIBERALS YOU ARE ASSURED A SEAT IN DISNEY WORLD

Your post was incomprehensible !

No offense intended, but I'm wondering how you know that you are a "pureblood" Jew yourself. Can you trace your ancestry all the way back to Jacob?

The Ethipians are Jews and they are the fantastic people. It is a shame that the Rabbinical authority who claims to be the light of wisdom could be so foolish. G-d watches over the Ethiopians even when the Rabbinic authority doesn't. All is accounted for. (Note-not the same Josh as #2)

witttngly quick to figure multi faceted stories since the 700 somali join hizzy even though they are wahabi sunni and the falasha christian join the jew and the paradoxbecome the norm and every body is sucked into the abyss

IMY COMMUNITY FORBIDS ACCEPTING CONVERTS SO THIS PROBLEM DOESNT ARISE.

i FIND THIS A REAL DILLIMMA WHEN i AGREE WITH SOMEONE LIKE "AMERICAN"! Dacon, there is so much documentation that these people are Jews. Your argument is ridiculous. This "American" usually portrays racist views but here you are shamed by him/her. How bad can that be. It cant be worse. Dacon, you should be defending Ethioipian Jews. Jews shouldnt be hurting other Jews when gentiles do it so well. Support Ethiopian Jews.

SAM DEFEND YOUYR HOME FIRST. YOUR OWN JEWS IN ISRAEL IS LOST TO THE XTIANS THE BAHAI THE DRUGS AND SLAVE TRAFFICERS.. SAM TAKE CARE OF YOUR HOMW FIRST. THEN GO OUTWARDS. SO FAR ***MOST THAT HVAE RECENTLY BEEN *** TRANSFERED TO ISRAEL HAVENT PROVED THEMSELFS TO BE LOYAL TORAH JEWS.. IF YOU AREJEWISH... THEN YOU KNOW IT CAN BE WORSE.IT BECAME WORSE IT WIILL BE WORSE... ETHIOPIANS ARE NOT JEWS I HURT JEWS..? ON THE CONTRARY I DEFEND *JEWS FUTURE. JUDAISM IS QUALITY NOT QUANTITY..CONVERTTING FOR 6 MONTHS AND WEARING A CROSS LATER IS NOT JUDAISM READ #8 READ #14 DOCUMENTATION? SHAMED? I AM REDICULOUS? IS THAT YOUR ONLY ARGUMENT? HURTING JEWS? YOU ARTE THE FIRST TO BRING IN THE GENTILES TO ISRAEL AND MAKE A PARTY WHEN THEY BUILD A EVANGELIST THEME PARK IN JERUSALEM.. THEY ARE DOING THAT YOU KNOW...50 ACRES AGAINST TORAH SUPPORT TORAH SAMMY ...

are you truly go back to aharon then we must be cousin or brothers we been traced to the same family tree but we convert to shia by the 8th century we kept our gene clean we do not marry outsiders the funny thing is we are leaders in the shia sect we do not look arab at all eye color range from green to blue average height 6 feet we migrate to iraq fromplace near king solomon tomb and where the true temple is buried intact to iraq to await the messiah and lead people in teaching the virtue of the rightousness we inherit some habit that ifound compatable with today kosher jews is that amazing or is it a smaal world

teflon it is beautiful that you are serving THE ONE 'GD' OF ISRAEL' JEWS WERE NOT LIGHT COLORS , I DONT BELIEVE THEY WERE ,AS JEWS WERE FROM THE LANDS IN THE MIDDLE EAST. THEN JEWS WERE CHASED ALL OVER THE WORLD. THE LIGHTER COLORS WERE FROM EUROPE. WE SEPHARDIC JEWS ARE DARKER AND YOU COULDNT TELL THE DIFFERENCE FROM THE ARABS OR MANY JEWS. AFTER ALL OUR MUTUAL GROUND IS OUR FATHER ABRAHAM. KIND DAVID HAD A REDDISH COLORING SURPRISINGLY AND HE FOUND GREAT FAVORS IN THE HEAVENS AS THE WORLD READS KING DAVIDS PSALMS REGULARLY THE DESCENDENTS OF AHARON ARE THE 'KOHANEEM', THE PRIESTS. THE REAL PITY OF THE WORLD SITUATION IS THAT VERY FEW CAN FIND A COMMON GROUND...A ND MOST WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THAT THE LAND IS JEWISH INCLUDING 80% OF JORDAN... AND THERE WAS A LAND FOR THE CHILDREN OF ISHMAEL.. BUT WOULD YOU AGREE THAT MOST OF THE PEOPLE TRAVELED WANDERED SEEKING FOOD WATER AND TRADING THEIR WARES IN THE BIBLICAL DAYS WHICH DID NOT GIVE OWNERSHIP TO ANY LAND JUST BECAUSE THEY TRAVELED AND SET UP A TENT SOMEWHERE ABRAHAM PAID FOR THE CAVES OF OUR FATHERS AND OVER PAID FOR HEBRON BY THE ADMITTANCE OF THE SELLERS AS RECORDED IN TORAH UNCHANGED WORDING 3500 YEARS AGO. THEN THE XTIAN CAME 1500 YEARS LATER AND ALTERED THE WORDS OF 'GD',,, AS WRITTEN IN TORAH. THEN MOHAMED CAME , WAS IT 500 YEARS AFTER THE XTIANS, AND ALTERED THE ALTERING , CHANGING THE WORDS OF THE XTIANS "AND' THE TORAH. THE HEBREW PROPHETS SAID ALL THIS BEFORE IT HAPPENED AND ALSO BY THE WORDS OF THE 'GD' OF ISRAEL TO THE PROPHETS TO TELL THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL... WHAT THE END GAME WILL BE.... ALL THE NATIONS WILL COME TO THE MT OF THE 'GD' OF ISRAEL AND RECOGNIZE THAT 'HE' IS 'ONE' AND THERE IS NONE BESIDE 'HIM''. NO SON AS SAID BY THE XTIANS, NO PROPHET MOHAMED AS SAID BY THE MUSLIMS... THERE WILL BE 'GD' AND ALL THOSE THAT ''KNOW 'HIM ARE CALLED ....'GDs' SONS. HIS CHILDREN... AND ALL WILL KNOW ,,, THAT THE NATION OF ISRAEL ARE 'HIS' CHOSEN ' THE NON JEWS THAT HELP THE JEWS TO STUDY AND MAKE PEACE WILL HAVE A SHARE IN THE WORLD TO COME. THE ONES THAT DO NOT WILL PERISH, THEIR SOULS WILL CEASE TO EXIST. ALL THE WARS , ALL THE THREATS BY THE ARABS.. ALL THE CONVERSIONS BY THE XTIANS ..ALL THOSE WILL KNOW THEIR ERROR AND REPENT BEFORE THEIR END.. OR PERSIH BECAUSE OF THEIR FAILURE TO RECOGNIZE THE 'GD' OF ISRAEL AS ONLY INTERPRETED BY THE TORAH JEWS THOSE ARE THE WORDS. LET IT BE KNOWN . I might add that MOSES , BY 'GD' ,,WAS BROUGHT TO THE HEAVENS , SO THE JEWS DO NOT MAKE HIM A 'GD' AS THE XTIANS HAVE DONE TO THEIR HERETIC. THIS IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT THE GREATEST OF ALL HEBREW PROPHETS , BY 'GDS' WILL ,,,CAN NOT BE CONSIDERED A SON OR GD BECAUSE AS THE 'GD' OF ISRAEL SAID' I AM ONE, THERE IS NONE BESIDE ME,HAVE NO IMAGES NO IDOLS I AM HOLY I AM 'GD' THERE IS NONE BESIDE ME'

numero 1. Every bloody Ashkenazi MUST realize that the 1ST Jews in the diaspora existed in the Kingdom of Sheba, which is now Yemen and part of Ethiopia. Yemen used to be under the rule of Ethiopia. Many Meghrebis (Sephardi jews and Arabs) trace their ancestory to Yemen, which is the origin of Arabia. This explians Ethiopiand and Yemenis (Chabashim in general) are the true semites! 2. Ethiopian jews are somewhat better of in Israel than in Gondar, Ethiopia. 3. Ethiopians are humble, heroes, beautiful, hard working!

The temple was lost because the Jews were punished (see the prophets). Do you think it right to pray to memory of the temple or to make a holy site out of one wall of the ruins? The ruins represents a reminder of the punishment that G-d gave to the Jews yet Ethipians pray to the actual Temple. Do you think G-d likes us wallowing on about a punishement that we were warned by the prophets was coming if we didn't change. If I punished my child and he went on complaining about the punishment, would I be happy? If you were wise you would also know that Jews around the world are taught to face the temple when they pray. Yes, they can aford to test the blood for Aids and the incidence of Aids in Eithipians is low. The blood banks of the world never considered the Ethiopian Jews in those rules. They are Jewish because they follow the laws of Mosses. This of course has everything to do with the religion of Judaism however the laws of Torah were given to Israel and one of the twelve tribes was Judah. What about the other 11 that are supposed to, by G-d's promise and phrophet writtings, receieve inheritance in Isarel. If you wise enough to do your homework you would see that the star of david is a symbol of magic. You can find it in Kabbalah and in Knosticism. You might well ask why the ultra-orthodox dress like Christian noblemen? Maybe you can find a coincidence. Israel is foirbidded to do magic and the Kabbalah was once outlawed as magic by rabbis. Maybe you should get to know an Ethipian and ask them about the graveyard. They are serving in the IDF because the must as an Isareli. However most Ultra Ortthodox do not serve at all and get free handouts. On conversion and inter marriages you again have no idea what Torah says. Most converts in Torah simply followed the Jews. Did you read about Laban's stolen idols. She obviously wasn't an Orthodox conversion. The concept of Rabbinical rule is actually not supported by Torah text where the word Rabbi doesn't even occur once, let alone is there a specification of "Orthodox". G-ds covenant and promise is for all time and he will return from disporah the remnants. If you knew Mosses' prophecy you would be expecting many "return" people from which the Mossiac is supposed to rise from. Mosses makes no mention at all of the next world. In fact the after world or world of the dead is a concept from Egypt. The resurection of bones is also not Mosses' but from the Prophet writings that the religious athourity chose. If anyone needs to go to disney world it is you. I suggest you visit "Its a small world" so you can learn the concept of a world of peoples. Israel is to be as numerous as the stars so where is everyone?...in disporah under the curses of serving the gods of others. All people will recognize the G-d of Israel and until the Mossiac comes you are stuck listening to the rabbinical teachings that counter what is clearly stated in Torah. Read you prophets and you will see that Torah teachings are not passed un corrupted by Jewsih leadership nor the San Hedrin 70. Lastly you speak of bleeding hearts, but the story of the Aliyah of the Ethiopians returning on foot and the slaughter of thousands as they crossed Musilim areas is a testament to their love for Mosses, Israel and G-d. The fact that they survived in Africa as Jews is also a testament to their faith. Lastly Moses was married to a black woman (think this is the Meriam story) You most likely have never suffered a day in your life for the faith you have been spoon fed. Ethipians are awsome and you are wrong.

The LAST time I looked the idea of a belief in One G-d did NOT start in the bowels of a Polish Ghetto and for the Life of me I cannot understand who white Jews feel that they have Judaism all hook line and sinker. Read the Geography of the Torah. Egypt mentioned hundreds of times Ethiopian mentioned at least 40 Not once have I seen a Shtetl of Bobov, Lubuvitch, or the Polish Town of Bialystok or some community in the Russian Pale. So where do white Jews get the Idea that the ONLY way to be Jewish is to be white. Rethink
