Mazal Tov to Giveret. Belaynesh Zevadia, and Mazal Tov to our beautiful Israel. Thank you Adon. Lieberman for appointing an Ethiopian-born beauty to serve as Israel's ambassador to Ethiopia with pride.

mazel tov

My G-d that would shut them all up !! Kol Achevod to this wonderful lady aswell. I wish her every success in her new post.

more Ethiopian Jews in the UN and leadership. The world will have a hard time saying jack when their is a black Jew facing them. GOOD ON YOU, CHEERS

Ethiopian Jews are not sepharadim. However I am happy for this choice...Mazal tov!

The ambassador's appointment is even more proof that the BDS movement is based on a lie.This week Harvard University will host another of these meetings where the term apartheid will be used non stop. Perhaps Harvard's administrators may want to rethink their decision to host the BDS meeting now that it is a proven lie.

I'm so proud of our Ethiopians, and she is so beautiful! And certainly smart. Our old nation is resurrecting for the best, everyday. בהצלחה Belaynesh Zevadia

She'll do us proud

I'm sure Zevadia will be an excellent ambassador for Israel.

While this is certainly wonderful news, the truth is there's a lot of good news in Israel. The problem is that it doesn't fit the agenda of a certain segment of the media and therefore doesn't get reported. Hopefully, the news of the appointment of Amb. Zevadia won't meet the same fate.

Such awesome & kind people. In South Africa we have what is called Affirmative action, in business its called BEE (Black Economic Empowerment). Even though the current Israeli ambassador is doing a great job here (SA) - I think that the next ambassador should be an Israeli of Ethiopian origin or an Arab Israeli. The white population of South Africa is mostly pro-Israel, however many of the uneducated blacks are taught to hate Israel because of the lie of Apartheid in Israel harassed to them over and over by the ANC & Unions. I believe it is of great importance to either send an Israeli of Ethiopian origin or an Arab Israeli to represent Israel - this will completely crush the BDS and other racist organisations. It’s the right move - please do it. South Africa might be democratic today - but it is divided on racial lines and Israel should use this knowledge to the best of its capabilities in showing South Africa that Israel is a beautiful democratic and free country.

Whats the difference? all Jews are Jewish and all Jews are beautiful. We all are proud of this gorgeous lady. She is the beauty of Israel.

Mazal Tov Likhvod Gveret ha Shagrirah.. Remember you from Hoston when you were consul and remember when your husband was unfortunately injured in a shooting. I am very proud for you and your family. May you go from strength to strength and you will represent medinat Yisrael and Kelal Yisrael with dignity and professionalism

Wiill you let your kids go to school with them, have sleep- overs, and become almost family? Will you matchmake for a nice Ethiopian 'in-law'? I think not at any cost! Can we say hypocrites? Hahahaha TATA

B"H There are no Jewish looking, Jewish thinking ambassadors. Why?

In other words when the appointment of miniority Jews is the norm and not the exception. Mazal Tov to our new ambassador.

I agree with you totally. Just wanted to be accurate!!!!!

of Jews of Ethiopian background and other Israeli Jews....including my sister and my brother-in-law and nieces and nephews-so don't give us your "I think not" because you're not capable of thought. The only concern of my parents in having a son-in-law whose family immigrated from Ethiopia was that he be a religious, observant Jew and be a patriotic Israeli and serve in the army and he met both criteria. Can you say ignorant know-nothing? Well, don't say it, just look in the mirror. "TATA" yourself

i am a jewish israeli married to an ethiopean man, a lovely man that is a doctor in bellinson hospital in israel. what you can't know because you know nothing about our country is that many jewish israeli women married ethiopean men in the past 7 years. now, go away please ronit mazeeda holon

Because they need to be diplomatic ,cool and rational. Do I have to explain everything to you?

As I am limited but able to understand that G-d sees the heart of each one of His creations. This view of G-d's as I understand it also extends to government officials, diplomats and even right wing "tag machir" types. I think its good that G-d isn't as petty as you!

But not anonymously .

attack elderly women , spit on girls , and so on . I prefer the other way .
