@ZekuZelalem This is sort of mind boggling because my understanding is that Black Jews, many if not most with Ethiopian heritage, who live in Israel are treated as second class citizens. Obviously they must be tailoring the journalists' experiences in some way, for them not to notice this, but I guess I would think that the Black people who actually live there would have had something to say by now.

@thiswomanswerk as you will see, a lot of the Ethiopian media outlets that were selected are not media known for critical coverage or analysis of any kind. As such, they needed very little brainwashing. In fact, despite the Ethiopian Israeli experience being exactly as you described, many of the media outlets featured as a speaker Tsega Melaku, an Ethiopian born MP of Netanyahu's far right Likud party, whose job has been downplaying complaints by her community & largely cozying up to the right.
