these are the same hardships all people go through during immigration. It's very good to see that people are trying to help them out, however, more needs to be done. Ethiopian men need to be educated more for better employment opportunities. Put those smart Jewish brains to use Israel.

relatives who want a woman to stay in a dangerous situation so they won't have to provide for her. Abraham the Patriarch was told by YHWH to leave his father and kin an go to an land YHWH wanted him to be in. He left his father Terah who did not know YHWH and who was an idolator. Abraham took his nephew Lot and his wife Sarah who were both eternally saved as was Abraham and went to the land of Canaan (Israel) from Ur (Iraq) of the Chaldeans. I am sure they were snubbed in the new land and they wanted to be because being holy means being set apart. There need to be shelters for battered women just as there are for battered children to escape entire families who hate them for wanting to escape a dangerous situation.

Let's see YNet report on abuse in the Russian & Arab population. An expose on the high levels of abuse and violence in the homosexual population would be in order, too.

Any man that hits a women is a coward. Any man that disrespects a women is a coward. Any man that is not subservient to a women is a coward period and end of story. If the relationship is bad move on and find a MAN because thats what you are a FAG if you hit a women. If you have to work all night and day shoveling sh"t to help support your family then do it. In response to the author of this article it is just not a cultural issue its a social issue out of economic frustration or a character flaw in the man that beats a women.

"An expose on the high levels of abuse and violence in the homosexual population would be in order, too. " Are you telling us homosexuals are violent? Please explain...

It's frustation and more frustation due to israel's white racism against black people in general Ethiopian males. The article clearly states the men cannot find jobs. There is too much racism against black people in our country. Face the facts...

It is not a norm to hit your women in Ethiopia. You make it sound as if the Ethiopian men are savages that need to be controlled. You simply know nothing about Ethiopia, its culture or its norm. And you want to corroborate evidence for your already set racist attitude. The truth is that most israeli people I have come across in europe are among the most racist of the caucasians... I feel sorry for the ethiopian who go there and try to integrate...... And subjugating the male is your way, as every racists do, of castrating the black race in your society... pitty jews!

Don't forget the haredi population. Meanwhile, the bill has obviously been delayed: the Shas- and Likud-controlled Knesset don't want to take power from the haredim; who abuse their women and children while doing nothing else but study Talmud-Bavli, receive welfare from HaMedinat, and live in overcrowded and isolated shtetlach.
