Since Jesse Jackson has publically stated that he intends to try to help
facilitate  emigration  of Falashas to Israel, note should be taken that
historically and to the present day the main persecutors of the Falashas
have not been whites but black Christians not unlike Jesse Jackson.

Of  course,  Muslims  have  also  done their part.  For Falashas Yehudah
(Judea) and Shomron (Samaria), the  so-called  West  Bank,  are  popular
areas  of  settlement.   While I consider the Jewishness of the Falashas
dubious, settling them there is good  because  the  Arab  Muslims  under
Israeli rule are intense anti-Black racists who will immensely disturbed
by the presence of blacks.
