Palestinians Murder Israelis of Color
(Algemeiner) Gil Troy - Israel buried yet another victim of the Palestinian refusal to accept any Jews anywhere in the ancestral Jewish homeland. On Nov. 23, Tadese Tashume Ben Ma'ada, 50, a father of six, was riddled with shrapnel by a Palestinian bomb packed with nails. Ben Ma'ada immigrated to Israel from Ethiopia 21 years ago. No non-African country had ever happily absorbed an African immigration. That disproves the claims that Israel is either racist or colonialist. Racial differences did not stop Israel from airlifting tens of thousands of Ethiopians to freedom, where Israelis welcomed the immigrants enthusiastically and generously. In moving to Israel, Ethiopian Jews were not embarking on some colonialist adventure to a foreign land; they were correcting historical mistakes, and returning home.
