Lines: 11 Xref: watmath net.religion.jewish:1280 net.politics:6915 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.
