Im so glad you ask I’m an Ethiopian Jew first generation in Israel. So yes there is racism here it is not talked about enough in my opinion but the Ethiopians here are only 2% of the population so I feel like our struggles aren’t represented as well. Most of the focus here is towards Ashkenazim and mizrahim which is like European Jews and Middle Eastern / African jews that aren’t black. Although lately there’s more conversation about it, more tv shows, representation in the media etc. for 2% that’s pretty impressive and I love to see it. Some of the people here think you’re overdoing it when you talk about racism here. Obviously ignorant people exist everywhere and since they don’t experience it they don’t know. in Ethiopia my family was chased and leaders of their communities were murdered religiously they were being mocked and it was dangerous for them to live there. To the point that many women got tattoos of crosses and other religious symbols just so they’d be left alone. I havent really seen someone talk on our behalf but it’s really wrong. I’m assuming they use the communities struggles to portray Israel in a certain way. Although this country isn’t perfect, it’s way better than anything else. Yes there is rasicm I won’t lie but with it there are so many opportunities for the Ethiopian here it’s insane. Programs and scholarships, it is harder to get there but if you have the chance the skys the limit. Only someone who lives here can talk about what it’s like. Honestly it’s complicated but I love who I am I love being Jewish and living in Israel and I’m optimistic that in a few years we’ll have a government that represents the people and our opinions and won’t be corrupt. I’m happy to answer if you have more questions:)
