del.icio.us Digg It!  new Olmert: Ethiopians have been wronged By Barak Ravid "Ethiopian Jews' feeling that they have been wronged is not detached from reality, a reality we must change," Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said yesterday. At the opening of the weekly cabinet meeting, Olmert spoke about the discrimination against Ethiopian-born students, referring to a recent case where four Ethiopian girls had been forced to study in complete isolation at a Petah Tikva religious school. Advertisement "These stories compound the general distress that Ethiopian children and the Ethiopian population in Israel feel," the prime minister said, adding that this feeling is not devoid of truth, and is not isolated to a certain region. "This January, we will approve a wide-ranging program aimed at resolving some of the issues facing Ethiopian Jewry," he said. Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni also addressed the issue, saying, "this is not a problem confined to the four girls. There is pure racism in hiring Ethiopian immigrants and renting to them. This discrimination forced them to concentrate in certain neighborhoods and harmed their integration."
