Are the Israelis practicing racism against their own religion?

Hundreds of Ethiopian Jews are stranded in Ethiopia because Israel is for some reason delaying the immigration of Ethiopian Jews to Israel - some have suggested it is a form of racism? You make your own mind up?

Re: Are the Israelis practicing racism against their own religion?

I think there 's a bit of a quandary about this. Already 1000 Ethiopian Jews are to be allowed but the remaining 7000 are facing restrictive conditions .

There has also been many a discussion about them not being full Jews, and at some point branched off from Christians. (generations ago) There are also those who say they are direct descendants from the tribe of Dan. So it's all very confusing.
It would seem they are the 'poor' people and that might be an issue .

We have plenty of Ethiopians here in the UK.
It's a country with huge problems of poverty etc, and to make promises and then go backwards, is somewhat wrong when playing with human lives and leaving them in a state of limbo.

It also has to be asked... which Government does fulfil it's promises ?

Sadly there is more racism between the brown and black races than between whites and blacks in some areas. Listen to a pakistani talking about a black african and you realise how much there is, goes the other way too not just from light brown to dark.

Re: Are the Israelis practicing racism against their own religion?

I agree the Pakistanis and Indian are extremely colour conscious .
Lighter skin is considered more upper caste .
As for all people in the ME being brown this is a misconception brought on by ignorance .
All people in the ME are not brown many are pale skinned with ginger hair !
As most people know ginger haired people have very white skin.
Lots of people in the Middle East are Circassians by origin coming from the borders of Russia they are very light skinned .
