"Many North African Jews arriving in Israel in its early days when the society was dominated by European Jews not always accepting of the African “Mizrahim.’’"
Well, you see how they treat their Palestinian neighbors.
I really should no longer be surprised by the myopic focus of the agenda-pushing jewspaper known as the Boston Globe, readers. I'm just sad that this is what is passing for news here in AmeriKa.
"Hub aid helps Ethiopian Jews in Haifa; Donations fuel a transformation" by James F. Smith, Globe Staff | April 19, 2010
Visiting northern Israel from Boston in the mid-1990s, Nancy Kaufman encountered a scene that upset her deeply: 3,000 immigrant Ethiopian Jews languishing in a crowded, makeshift trailer camp on the outskirts of Haifa.
And it is still better than a Palestinian tent.
Kaufman, the longtime executive director of the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Boston, felt driven to do something. After all, Boston-area Jews had supported the airlift of Ethiopian Jews to Israel in the 1984 famine, dubbed Operation Moses, and again in 1991 in Operation Solomon. And Boston has had a sister-city relationship with Haifa since 1989.

“We said, let’s create Haifa as model for all of Israel for integrating Ethiopian Jews,’’ Kaufman said. Last week, two Ethiopian-born Israelis updated Boston-area Jewish groups on the transformation of their immigrant community, thanks in part to nonstop support from Boston Jews that now totals nearly $1 million a year to help Ethiopians in Haifa integrate into Israeli society.
Yes, somehow Jews always have enough money to help out other Jews even as everyone around them loses their shirts.
“Haifa was the worst place for Ethiopians’’ in the early days, said Efraim Gavru, 23, an Israeli military officer. “But now our people who arrive in Israel are asking to go there.’’
Talk about being a Zionist War Daily.
Jesus Christ!
The resulting support involved not just money but volunteer work by hundreds of Boston-area Jews with Ethiopians in schools, health clinics, and community centers in Haifa. Early successes spawned a more formal six-year project, now in its fifth year, that committed a total of $4.5 million from Boston’s Combined Jewish Philanthropies just for the Ethiopian support project in Haifa — called Shiluvim, Hebrew for “integration.’’
So when do the Palestinians get something shared with them -- and I don't mean missiles and WMD poured on their heads!
Ethiopian community members and Haifa residents fashioned a set of high-leverage programs. They put Ethiopian mediators in emergency rooms and schools to work with children and parents. They created literacy programs for hundreds of adults. They set up job-training programs, and day-care centers.
Yeah, all with "charity" money that Madoff stole.
Aklile Kebede, who joined Gavru in Boston last week, said her family struggled to adapt when they arrived in Israel in 1993 from Ethiopia. Kebede, who was 6 when she got to Israel, tapped into the support programs in school, while her parents became involved in the adult programs to cope with the culture shock.
“In Ethiopian culture, you have to respect your elders. In Israel, you have chutzpah,’’ said Kebede, 23, now a second lieutenant in the Israeli Defense Force.
And they are DAMN PROUD of it, the ignorant s***s!!!
But with the help of the transition programs, “I was pretty Israeli in a short time,’’ she said with a smile.
You know what they called those things when the Communists ran 'em, right?
“Soon I had that chutzpah, too. And the whole Ethiopian community has been empowered.’’
I can't keep reading this Israeli public relations piece passing itself of as news, folks.
That experience helps explain why the 7,000 Ethiopian Jews now living in Haifa have done better than elsewhere in Israel, said Vered Israely, the Haifa director of the Boston-Haifa Connection program....
Gavru, like Kebede, is a second lieutenant in the Israeli Army. They were among 12 Israeli military officers brought to Boston this week by the Boston-Haifa Connection....
Oh, that's why it makes the agenda, I mean paper.
Kaufman said the effort acknowledged the hardships faced by many North African Jews arriving in Israel in its early days when the society was dominated by European Jews not always accepting of the African “Mizrahim.’’
Translation: They were shvartsers to the racist, lying, land-stealing, mass-murdering AshkeNazis!
