I don’t get it. Why are the articles being written as if the Ethiopians are rioting? I haven’t seen even one video yet where an Ethiopian is throwing anything at all. So far it looks like it was a peaceful protest in which the Israeli police force did not allow to continue.
Any comments from Yerushalmis? I’d like to know the truth from those that live there and saw what went on.
Until then, I don’t believe that this was a violent protest at all, but rather police using excessive forth.
This is standard Israeli police operating procedure. Specifically hysterical violence, sparce information about what happened, arresting the victim, and a cover up. Is this any different from police violence against religous Jews on the Temple Mount as well as random settlers, Haredim, and Arabs. The next step is a lenghthy period of time before the results of an investigation, after that a crony prosecutor with a losing case presentation, and a lackey judge to exonerate the guilty and convict the innocent.
What I’m seeing in the video is what looks like a general peaceful protest with police firing tear gas and other defensive items into the crowd. No indication of any injuries. What I did hear was at least one protester referring to their complaints as being on par with those of the blacks in Baltimore. If they’re taking their cues from what’s developed in Baltimore, the police have every responsibility to see that it doesn’t become a violent destruction of people and property on the part of the protesters. Yes, the police seem rougher than we’d accept in America. But with everything they have to deal with where Jews really are being killed and maimed by enemies of the Jews I’m not sure I really blame them. I’m Charedi, and I’ve never had any problems with the police, including when they’re stopped to question me to make sure I was safe to be walking around. They may be quite forceful, but they’re not unreasonable.
This is just bad reporting from YWN. This is a protest but they didn’t have to use the word violent.
Israel among costliest countries for food, but lowest for wages
Nielsen study finds Israel ranks third in Europe for price of groceries, household essentials and toiletries but 13th for salaries.

Israel ranks third in Europe, coming just behind the two most expensive countries in Europe – Switzerland and Norway – for the price of food, household essentials and toiletries. But while Israelis pay through the nose for basic goods, they fall far behind when it comes to salaries, ranking 13th on a scale of wages in Europe.
The data comes from an international study conducted by market researchers Nielsen. The study was conducted in the last quarter of 2014 among 30,000 consumers worldwide, including 500 Israelis.
According to the study, the average cost in Europe for a monthly purchase of essentials is approximately NIS 1,520, while the average in Israel is approximately NIS 1,930 – 22% higher.
Even so, Israelis can only envy the workforce in countries such as Denmark, England, Sweden, Germany and the Netherlands, whose earning capacity is higher, while prices are lower. In seven countries with a lower average salary than Israel – such as Turkey, Hungary, Romania and Poland – the cost of basic goods is proportionately lower.
The authors of the study found that when it comes to the ratio between income and expenditure, “Israel is among the worst places.”
The study shows that the average expenditure on groceries in Israel is approximately NIS 1,930, similar to Denmark, but salaries in Denmark are 75% higher, with an average wage of almost NIS 14 thousand per month. In England, where the average wage is approximately NIS 11,500 a month, the monthly shop costs just NIS 1,600.
Israelis across the country staged a series of demonstrations in 2011 over the cost of living, taking to the streets to protest high living and housing prices and low salaries. The protests, which saw Israelis erecting tents in the heart of Tel Aviv, led to the creation of a committee to investigate the issue.
