Ethiopian Jewish Knesset Member Stumps for Israel
(Philadelphia Jewish Exponent) Bryan Schwartzman - To anyone who asserts that Israel is a racist society, Shlomo Molla, 46, responds: Take a look at my life. He was born in an Ethiopian village with no electricity and he now holds the position of deputy speaker of the Knesset. "If you have your motivation, Israel is a country where the sky is the limit," Molla, a Kadima Party member, declared during a Sep. 7 stop in Philadelphia. Uri Bar-Ner, a retired Israeli diplomat, said Molla "is the best speaker for Israel, because once people see him they know what Israel is all about and they stop talking about discrimination."
