But being an army officer has its responsibilities and one of them is to
"think first before". And then, there are those that belittling, harassment and
bullying is par for their behavior.

What kind of example does this loser set for others? We brought thousands of Ethiopians here for a better life - and that's what they get? For serving their country - that's what they get called? It's beyond disgusting and sorry isn't enough! It breaks my heart!

These young men and women who protect this country deserve our support and respect. Shame on those who treat Israelis with racism based on skin colour or ethnicity. We are all Israelis and our differences make us stronger, not weaker, because we are all different and we need to accept this reality. There should be no place for racism in this great country and the racists should be ashamed of themselves because they are not better than other Israelis.

between the soldiers and the officers. The army must work as one team, where everyone can count with everyone.

he was having problems handling stress as it was...

Can the officer... and find a way to support if not promote the cool-headed soldier who was wrongly insulted.

When my family moved to israel in 1960 the sabras and the morocco jews called me the russian and vozvos. we are not russian it was offensive to a youngster like me. my mother who was blond and blue eyes her last name Shapiro was more jewish than most was called a shikse and ZUNA.openly in Petach Tikva. many times she was offered money for sex by religious men.and bus DAN drives. we moved out from Israel in 1971. never looked back.

I MET MANY IN ISRAEL MANY JEWS AND NONE JEWS ARE RACIST ANTI-BLACK ANTI BROWN IN AMERICA. MANY BLACKS HATE JEWS AND WHITE PEOPLE YOU SEE IT ALL OVER THE PLACE.BUT ISRAEL SHOULD BE THE BEACON TO THE WORLD. SPECIALLY ITS MILITARY. ITS ALL IN THE EDUCATION FROM HOME.

The problem is in the racist, not in the Biblical term, Kushi, that is inherently no different that calling someone Dutch or French. The adjective “dirty” is the indication that racism was intended. A “dirty Dutchman” (I’m Dutch) or “dirty Frenchman”, like “dirty Jew” are all racist indicated by the hateful adjective in front of it.

Further, Kushi is not at all similar to the American “n word”. Preferring “dirty black” or “dirty African American” are no better. They’re no less racist—hate-filled—too; even though, without the adjective, they’re PC phrases.

The “n word” derived from “Nigerians” as an ignorant universal term for all Africans and dark-skinned people. The mispronunciation into the “n word” says only that the utterer is even more ignorant than racist; knowing neither the distinction of peoples from Africa nor even the proper pronunciation of the word. The “n word” should become the object of derision and comedy that, for the present, is acceptable only when spoken by brown comedians. I’m a proud Southerner and rare native Floridian island boy from the Keys. But those among us who refuse to learn—whether Southerners or Orthodox Israelis—deserve to be derided and shunned for unacceptable behavior.

When it comes to dark-skinned, there are, literally, and infinite number of shades of human skin—not one of which is either white or black. Any portrait artist who used plain white paint to depict white people would be a laughingstock. I’m sort of beige, I guess. African Americans and Ethiopian are various shades of brown. When one looks at the entire spectrum, there is no line that one can distinguish “black” from “white”; only an infinite number of shades in-between.

We are, truly, all­—even the humanzee (https://t.co/a2iYpUXmOy) snowflakes among us—one race; the human race.
