publicize it since Israel has enough bad press and antiSemitism around the world, wrapped up as anti-Israelism All Americans in Israel are RICH, there is not one american here who is not rolling in dough. There is no way that any Israeli will ever start off by giving a fair price to anyone who has an american accent The truth is that it is very hard to live poor and have everyone who doesn't know you think you are rich, just due to your accent. Russians have their own problems, and so do the Persian Jews, Turkish, Moroccan, and everyone else. This is the same every where in the world, people are generalized and hated or loved just for being a certain nationality, religion, etc While if this had been in USA, this man would have been called a dirty Jew and told how he is why the holocaust happened (this is my personal experience more than once, just for wearing a Jewish star pendant on a necklace.) To put this out publicly and build more hatred for Israel is a travesty and it puts more soldiers at risk. When will people in Israel stop being so selfish and look beyond themselves to the results of their actions.

...I worked as barman on a kinneret beach. One night in the summer, a drunk Ethiopian guy at the bar started getting abusive, demanding to know who took his drink, and demanding another free replacement. He demand was obviously refused. He became threatening. Security politely removed him. He returned, with more abuse and more aggression, upon which security forcefully removed him again. About half an hour later, a rock hit the roof above the bar. About 200 Ethiopan guys attacked the bar, setting fire to the roof in 3 places, with about 200 teenagers inside. Security only managed to keep them out for about 20 minutes until they broke through the gates and trashed the place. We barricaded all the guests (mostly kids on summer holiday) in the staff and storage area, until fully equipped riot police arrived 2 hours later from as far away as Acco and Kyriat Shmona, to break the siege. One cop who happened to be there at the time it kicked off, got his leg smashed by one of the rioters, and needed hospitilisation. The owner had his nose smashed by a thrown rock. There were numerous other injuries. The Riot police were still chasing down Ethiopian rioters at 7am all over the beach. The media reported a beach scuffle.....a disgusting media cover-up. This was an all out race riot, perpetrated by blacks on (mostly) whites, with intent to mass-murder. They tried to burn the bar with about 200 terrified kids and teenagers barricaded inside. So, as much I detest racism, and there is plenty of it from all races, the media is 90% responsible for perpetuating and exacerbating the problem.
