Violence breaks out as thousands of Israeli protestors of ethnic Ethiopian jewish descent are met with water cannons and stun grenades by Israeli police.

The Israeli citizens of Ethiopian jewish descent, were protesting against racism and police brutality after a video clip appeared last week show white Israeli policemen attacking a black Ethiopian soldier.

The Ethiopian community in Israel have long claimed that they are systematically disenfranchised, discriminated against because of their skin by white Israelis and the Israeli government.

  1. I’ve been hearing things about the Beta Israel community over the past year when I researched things about them. It’s sick how they’re subject to police brutality and where the women get sterilized without their knowledge after immigrating there. I don’t see them doing that to the Caucasian population in Israel, so I know it’s racially motivated.
