The Jewish people (called Falasha) have inhabited Ethiopia since pre-Christian times. A small pocket remains but most were airlifted to Israel. A fascinating road journey from Gonder to Debark, up and over the mountains, where the weekly Debark market was going on.

As the only two Westerners in Debark, we were a spectacle and focus of everyone.

  • why really Ethiopian peoples cares about israel ? sereously they dont even know who we are,. Ask any Ethiopian who dont

    care about israel why we? we are ,who we are and we know what we faith with.

  • I'm sure you are right. People's main interest is themselves, family, earning enough money to get by and staying healthy. It is just interesting exploring different countries and finding out people's thoughts.

  • why r these decendants of kings solomon and queen of sheba who have been in ethiopia (Cush)for more than 2k yrs going to be air lifted to israel(isis-ra-el)or Canaan? They r already at home

  • Don't have the faintest idea...

  • DO U KNOW THT , IT IS ETHIOPIA THE ONLY COUNTRY , WITH THE NAME OF ISRAEL , U ASSOCIATE ARITOCRACY AND BLINDLY THE ETHIOPIANS ARE SUPPORTING ISRAELS. EVEN AT THE NATIONAL PALACE OF ETHIOPIA ON THE FENCES , THE STAR OF SOLOMON IS THERE .

  • Beta Israel is the more correct term, than Falasha

  • stupid ethiopian orthodox r the one how attacked them ,, read before u talk idiot

  • Because that's the only place they can go and live safely when other Ethiopians harass them for geing Jews and when Ethiopian Muslims attack them for being Jews

  • and MOSCHE said "LET MY PEOPLE GO"

  • Becouse Ethiopa had famines and civil wars whereas Israel is rich .

  • Our guide specifically told us not to give them anything.
