The Israelites of Ethiopia: Part Three

Published on

STARTING in November of 1984, 35 flights went to Sudan from Israel over a period of six weeks.
Almost 9 000 selected Ethiopian Jews were secretly taken to Israel. These were expected to follow all the tenets of Talmudic Judaism on arrival in Jerusalem. This operation was called ‘Operation Moses’ by the Zionist government.
Operation Moses only ended because of pressure by Islamic nations to the Sudanese government after finding out what the Zionists were doing.
The whites from Europe who identify themselves as Jews entered the land of Palestine at the expense of the indigenous population.
The number of displaced Palestinians was increasing while their land was further parcelled out and this offended the Islamic nations.
After Operation Moses, hundreds of Ethiopian Israelites who had become Jews by religion were left behind in the Sudanese refugee camps.
Several months later, after the issue quieted down, the CIA took to Israel the remaining 800 Jews, in addition to the 8 600 who had been taken during the first operation.
In Ethiopia, unrest was increasing and Mongistu’s government was facing rebellion in the North. Eritrea was fighting to break away from Ethiopia and this affected areas like Gondor in the North West, where the Ethiopian Israelites were highly concentrated.
In 1991, Mongistu was forced to appeal for help from non-communist nations in order to regain control of his country.
Seeing opportunity, the US and the Zionist governments demanded free passage for the Ethiopian Israelites who were Jews to Israel as a condition for their assistance.
Mongistu’s government accepted these terms and received humanitarian aid and weapons.
A call was made for all the Jews of Ethiopia to head for Addis Ababa. In Addis Ababa, the Ethiopians would be processed to make sure they were partakers of Judaism and given the appropriate papers.
From there they would be flown to the land of Israel by plane.
Because of the instability and warring in Ethiopia, along with the consequent hunger and economic problems inevitably associated with war, the Ethiopian Jews took off from different parts of the country and headed for Ethiopia’s capital city.
Many of them set forth on foot, others on buses, on donkey carts and on trucks.
They left their spacious and fertile lands, neighbours, relatives and livestock forever and bought into the dream of living a better and more prosperous life in Israel.
22 000 reached Addis Ababa and were processed in preparation for their flight. The processing was done at the Israeli embassy.
Mongistu called for a cease-fire between government forces and rebels in order for this operation to be conducted without interruption as was agreed upon.
It was a very fragile situation and so the operation was done speedily.
Each flight carried as many people as possible and most of the property the Ethiopians wanted to carry was left behind.
Once the paper work was finished,
14 324 Ethiopian Jews were carried into Israel by way of more than 40 flights within 36 hours. The dates of their flights were May 24 and 25 1991. The Zionists called it Operation Solomon.
Those left behind were Ethiopian Israelites who did not partake of Judaism. Among these was the Falasha-Murra community which comprises Ethiopian Israelites who partook of Christianity starting a few generations ago to escape prejudice.
Almost overnight, a whole lineage of people was divided and taken away. It is important to note that the Ethiopian Jews did not know the history of the white Jews.
Their willingness to migrate into Israel from Ethiopia was influenced by the biblical accounts of Israel going to the land of Canaan.
They would eventually realise that the majority of white Jews were converts to a form of Judaism greatly based on Greek and Roman mannerisms.
These whites were Jews by religion, they did not claim to be descendants of Israel.
In fact, most of the key Rabbis in the history of Talmudic Judaism are Greek and Roman converts who wrote commentaries that are contained in the Talmud.
The fate of the Ethiopian Jews exposes the true intentions of the white Jews in letting them into Israel.
Today, the Ethiopians in Israel are discriminated upon in many ways.
They are insulted for being black and white Jews make fun of their ancestor Makeda, the Queen of Sheba, with whom Solomon conceived the Ethiopian Israelite patriarch Ebna la Hakim (Menyelek).
They are given no job opportunities in the key sectors of the economy but are mostly employed in the Israeli army.
A few years ago, white Jews in the south of Israel/Palestine signed a petition containing 120 signatures that were against selling or renting houses to Ethiopians.
The Ethiopians of Israel often strike in protest but the Zionist government does nothing to help them. The suffering of the Ethiopians in Israel is much worse than their suffering back in Ethiopia.
Last year, an Ethiopian was shot dead by Israeli forces because they thought he was pulling out a gun yet he was unarmed.
Suicide was taboo when they were still in Ethiopia but now they have been driven over the edge.
Why then did the white Jews go after the Ethiopian Israelites and convert them to Judaism if they were going to mistreat them on arrival. The answer is white supremacy, which is the enforcing of a social hierarchy that will always keep black people under whites.
In the days of slavery (1611 – 1868), whites, particularly Jews, would literally train their children to be racists and masters by acquiring blacks who they would learn to rule over.
White supremacy was taken as a necessary skill, just as horse training, so as to keep the social order of blacks over whites in force. For this reason, the white Jews assimilated blacks into their population.
The Israelites of Ethiopia were only officially recognised as Jews starting in 1972 after their conversion to Judaism. Those born in Israel lost contact and support from their former host Ethiopia.
They are now more vulnerable than ever because they have inherited the many enemies of the European Jews in the region they live in. They are also susceptible to racism from those same whites; a form of oppression which would have been impossible if they had remained among people of their own phenotype.
This threat of the conversion of the black and true descendants of Israel into Jews is still imminent among groups like the Remba in Zimbabwe and the Lemba in South Africa. They too have been found out by the white Jews and some have already been converted to Talmudic Judaism.
Thus they are likely to suffer the same fate as the Ethiopian Israelites if they do not guard their culture, identity and land jealously against the whites, even if they may claim to be Jews.
