Ethiopian Jews in Israel still await Promised Land

By Michael Blum (AFP) –

JERUSALEM —

The ancient hymns brought tears to the eyes of Solomon Ayeli, as well as memories of his native Ethiopia which he left two decades ago for Israel -- a country he loves but where he often feels rejected.

"There should be no differences between black Jews and white Jews," said Ayeli, 29, who was among 15,000 people who this week celebrated the Ethiopian-Jewish Sigd -- prostration -- festival in Jerusalem.

"We want to be fully fledged Israelis," he said, as priests intoned prayers in Ethiopia's ancient scriptural language Geez. "We want to fully belong to Israeli society which often rejects us."

"....a country he loves but where he often feels rejected....."

Solomon Ayeli,
Shameless liar. Who wasn't rejected in the Land of Abesha? If my Oromo brother feels rejected - I would have said Yes & agreed with him! But not for a fake Jew like you. Remember - You are not a Jew, you are a convert!

Genetic affinities of Ethiopian Jews.

In classical markers Ethiopian Jews cluster with other Ethiopian tribes and occupy a central position on a principal component map between African and Asian populations.

Analysis of mitochondrial DNA types and 5' beta-globin haplotypes portrays Ethiopian Jews in the same manner, and locates them between African and Caucasoid populations. Their genetic profile as mirrored through these genetic markers correlates with their geographic origin and reflects both Caucasoid and Negroid components in their gene pool.

Ethiopia: between Sub-Saharan Africa and western Eurasia.

...the Amhara and Oromo, were not found to be statistically distinct...:p:D;D

we studied an 8 kb segment of the X-chromosome from 72 chromosomes from the Amhara, Oromo and Ethiopian Jews, and compared these results with 804 chromosomes from Middle Eastern, African, Asian and European populations, and 22 newly typed Saharawi. Within Ethiopia the two largest ethnic groups, the Amhara and Oromo, were not found to be statistically distinct, based on an exact test of haplotype frequencies. The Ethiopian Jews appear as an admixed population, possibly of Jewish origin, though the data remain equivocal. There is evidence of a close relationship between Ethiopian and Yemenite Jews, likely a result of indirect gene flow.

When dictator Melese gone from Addis, all the jews will be back to Ethiopia. For now they have to stay in Israel.

It is better to be miserable in Israel than living with dictator Melese. The dictator is the worest person in the planet at the moment.

The aparthid system of the Amhara tribe have committed crimes against this people as it did to all non Amhara tribes of Ethiopia, they called them Falasha and Kayla effectively segregating them. The treatment of the Ethiopian Jews is equivalent to what happened to the Gypsy people in Europe. Yes, they have been rejected. It will take thousends of years to heal the wounds the Amhara's inflicted on the Ethiopian people.

I am happy they found a refuge from this cannibalistic people called Amhara, they are also lucky they no more have deal with this cruel and hypocrite tribe called Amhara.

What the Beta Israel should consider now is the possiblity of returning to their home land based on the freedom they can enjoy from the current Ethiopian Constitution in which fundamental human rights of both the individual and group of peoples are guranted.

I SYMPATHISE THE BETA ISRAEL.

How can these jews claim to be Ethiopian since they have already sold out their identity AND COUNTRY for Israeli bread?
The zionist state is an illegal state built of fascistic ideals.

The irony is that the Ethiopian Jews left Ethiopia for Israel in search of the Promise Land, while the Jamaicans want to come to Ethiopia in search of the Promise land. It is a big joke. Be grateful for where you are born because it is destiny that put you there. You can move from one country to another but don't call it the promise land. To date, no one has found that promise land, the whole earth is the promise land as far as I am concerned...

I FEEL SORRY, FOR SOME OF YOU. FROM THE WAY YOU COMMENT, YOU SOUND LIKE YOU ARE VERY FEW YEARS SHY FOR PLANET EARTH.

LOGICALLY, ALTHOUGH THE NEW WORLD PRODUCES NEW EVILLS, PREVIOUSSLY, GREATE ETHIOPIA HAD ITS OWN AGENDA AND ITS OWN RULES TO OVER-SHADOW THE WHOLE WORLD. THAT HEAT STILL DID NOT DISAPPEARED. ITS WARMING-UP & RAISED THE TRUE ETHIOPIAN MORALE. IF THOSE HERO ETHIOPIAN'S DID NOT WIN THE FOREIGN ENEMIES, YOU WILL LOOSE YOUR IDENTITY & YOU WILL BECOME A BIG TUME BASTARD!!! FOR SHURE, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO RAISE TRIBAL QUESTIONS. BUT, YOU HAVE TO PRAISE ETHIOPIAN VETERANS, WHO SLAVED & KICKED-OUT EUROPEANS, ETC.

REMEMBEE, ME AND YOU CAN NOT DO THE JOB THAT GREAT ETHIOPIAN DID BEFORE. BELIEVE IT OR NOT ABYSSINIA WAS LARGER THAN THE CURRENT AFRICAN MAP!!!

BE SAFE!!!

GOD BLESS ETHIOPIA & HER PROUD PEOPLE!!!

I've personally witnessed some Israeli officials making statements in public confirming the link between Israel and Ethiopia with reference to the legendary visit of the so called Solomon and Sheba in Jerusalem three thousand yrs.ago.

This suggests that the present day black jews from Ethiopia are the extantion of that link.Unfortunately there's any historic proof.

In what ever manner history has already been made.For the time being we have to accept it and let it go at that.May be another outragious history will be maade in the future to bring the case to where thehwole thing started.History can be made again and again.

these people should return back to their country. They are no Israeli Jews. The doesn't exist a country called is-nreal, except a Zionist apartheid which controls Palestine and for the record must of these Zionist are a place called pale of settlement in eastern Europe and they hate all human-beings.

Return to your true country you are Black you are African and you come from a country named Ethiopia.
wish you the best Ethiopians who converted to Judaism.

msg Comment from: Black King In America Slaying That Beast! [Visitor]
Wow its like you all don't know who the originators of these religions is? Of course a black man can be a genetic Jew. The Israelite people and culture were cultivated in the heart of Egypt and in other Cushite Empires those regions were dominated by Black peoples!

So it should be that the pale face Germans and Russian Zionist compare their blood to African markers hapolytes for historical analysis on who is a Jew and who is not!

Pretty soon the Arabs will erase the original Egyptian history with help from that racist TLC channel. Then Arab blood will be the standard of proving if Black people ever lived in that region.


The Black Man can be anything he wants to be because history still shows that Black People were the first to civilize the world.

Stop letting white people be the damn gold standard for everything and Unite!!!
