The extent of racist offenses and discrimination against Ethiopian Jews manifests in various aspects, including reluctance by factories to employ them, landlords refusing housing, and specific schools rejecting their children. In a troubling incident unveiled by the [...] NGO Tebeka in September 2011, 281 children of Ethiopian descent were unlawfully denied registration at a school in the Central District of Israel. This not only constituted a clear violation of children’s right to education but also reflected a broader pattern of exclusion within the country (Refworld, 2012).

In a separate incident, an Ethiopian mother and resident of Israel reported that on her daughter’s first day of kindergarten, the child was placed in a classroom exclusively composed of Ethiopian [...] youngsters. Despite the school justifying the placement based on the geographic area of the children, parents publicly perceive it as a result of the color of their skin, expressing concerns about potential discrimination (Sokol, 2019).

In addition, in 2019, a group of Ethiopian-Israeli parents took legal action against four ultra-Orthodox schools in Jerusalem that refused to enroll their children for the upcoming school year, further highlighting the persistent barriers in the education system (Surkes, 2019). These incidents underscore the urgent need to address discriminatory practices and promote inclusivity within the educational framework.

"Love labor, hate mastery over others, and avoid a close relationship with the government" (Avot, 1:10)

"Anti-Semitism means spreading enmity towards the Jews. When the accursed tsarist monarchy was living its last days it tried to incite ignorant workers and peasants against the Jews. The tsarist police, in alliance with the landowners and the capitalists, organised pogroms against the Jews. The landowners and capitalists tried to divert the hatred of the workers and peasants who were tortured by want against the Jews. In other countries, too, we often see the capitalists fomenting hatred against the Jews in order to blind the workers, to divert their attention from the real enemy of the working people, capital. Hatred towards the Jews persists only in those countries where slavery to the landowners and capitalists has created abysmal ignorance among the workers and peasants. Only the most ignorant and downtrodden people can believe the lies and slander that are spread about the Jews. This is a survival of ancient feudal times, when the priests burned heretics at the stake, when the peasants lived in slavery, and when the people were crushed and inarticulate. This ancient, feudal ignorance is passing away; the eyes of the people are being opened.

It is not the Jews who are the enemies of the working people. The enemies of the workers are the capitalists of all countries. Among the Jews there are working people, and they form the majority. They are our brothers, who, like us, are oppressed by capital; they are our comrades in the struggle for socialism. Among the Jews there are kulaks, exploiters and capitalists, just as there are among the Russians, and among people of all nations. The capitalists strive to sow and foment hatred between workers of different faiths, different nations and different races. Those who do not work are kept in power by the power and strength of capital. Rich Jews, like rich Russians, and the rich in all countries, are in alliance to oppress, crush, rob and disunite the workers.

Shame on accursed tsarism which tortured and persecuted the Jews. Shame on those who foment hatred towards the Jews, who foment hatred towards other nations.

Long live the fraternal trust and fighting alliance of the workers of all nations in the struggle to overthrow capital." - V. I. Lenin, Anti-Jewish Pogroms
