Every jew has the right to live in Israel, don't write something if you don't know if it's true...

Will you Ethiopians and Eritreans please stop fighting in a Jewish cultural thread.

This is about fusion of Jewish cultural elements from all over. The result may or may not be good art, but it is Jewish and Israeli.

Please fight elsewhere.

Alformaio - get a life, you obviously are telling lies and don't know the truth. Your opinion is not welcome here!

[ethio0402]

well the ethiopian jews are not quiet ethiopian anyway, they migrated to ethiopia from israel long time ago, so the rest of habeshas /ethi and rei/, this video is not about u.that jew guy with the dread lock hair is cute tho.

Alformaio, maybe the darkness spoken of in the Torah is the darkness in a heart such as yours which pours out hatred to those you have never met. Israeli does not mean hating darkness of skin. Become learned first, then speak.
