Israel is currently being consumed by violent protests over the killing of an unarmed Ethiopian Israeli teen, leading to turned-over cars, burning tires, and even a few injuries.
An off-duty police officer killed 19-year-old Solomon Tekah on Sunday after the bullet he shot at the ground bounced up and mortally wounded the teenager. While the cop may be charged with negligent homicide, it's clearly not enough for the aggrieved Ethiopian community of the Jewish state.
Thousands of protesters took to the streets to express their anger. Demonstrators shut down 12 major junctions across the country, including in the large city of Tel Aviv, leading to huge traffic jams. "End the killing, end the racism," some chanted. The protests have grown so big that in some areas, police closed down important highways.
While many demonstrations were peaceful, some took a violent turn, causing four police officers to sustain injuries.
Some scenes captured by Jerusalem Post reporter Anna Ahronheim show rioters destroying what appear to be police cars. In one instance, many people helped flip a car over into a fire on the street.
About 19 people have been arrested in connection with the rioting so far.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered his first remarks on the protests late on Tuesday. "We're all mourning the tragic death of the youth Solomon Tekah. But I ask of you one thing: Stop the roadblocks. We are a country of the law, we will not tolerate roadblocks."
Yet Tuesday's flare-up is the latest one between Israeli authorities and an Ethiopian community there that has felt persecuted for years. Tekah's death has only underscored that sentiment.
"We are not prepared to wait any longer to be recognized as equal citizens"
Similar riots happened in 2015 when Ethiopian Israelis pushed back against police violence after a video emerged of two Israeli police officers beating up an Ethiopian Israeli soldier.
Those protests grew extremely contentious, with Israeli police firing tear gas while demonstrators fought back with bottles and bricks. More than 50 officers and seven rioters were injured.
There's clearly a feeling among the Ethiopian Israeli community that they are second-class citizens in the country. Community leaders told the New York Times in 2015 that they are constantly discriminated against when it comes to housing, education, and employment.
It's a stark turn from 1991, when Israel airlifted 14,500 Ethiopian Jews from Ethiopia within 36 hours so they could live in the tiny Middle Eastern country and escape the war that was roiling the African country at the time. That plan, ironically, was named Operation Solomon — the same name as the teenager who was killed Sunday.
The Ethiopians are not alone: Many African migrants and refugees living in Israel feel consistently persecuted, surely leading to a mounting sense of anger against the state. That said, Ethiopian Jews aren't asylum seekers. They're Jews who by right, according to Israel, should be treated the same as any other Jews in the country — though Israeli leadership has rarely lived up to that.
It's unclear where, exactly, Ethiopian Jews came from. But their origin story legend says they are descendants of King Solomon, who built the First Temple.
So the protests are directly about Tekah's death, but on a grander scale, they are about something much bigger: the Ethiopian community's sense of dignity in Israel.
"We are not prepared to wait any longer to be recognized as equal citizens. It may take a few months, but it will happen," a protester told the BBC in 2015. Sadly, it's taken a lot longer than that.

This is from Vox, so take it with a healthy amount of skepticism. Every immigrant group in Israel has complained of being outsiders. Rioting and willful vandalism will not bring the young Ethiopian Israeli back.
Oh my Gaon.....this is not something many people think of when they think of Israel.
Oy vay!

It is cultural, not racial. Israel has absorbed a lot of people from some of the poorest countries in the world like Ethiopia and some of the most advanced and every culture in between. Some of Israel's immigrants have phd's and some are illiterate. You place large numbers of people in an emerging advanced nation like Israel from some of the most backward nations in the world with no rule of law and there will be cultural clashes.

That wasn't a protest, it was violence and destruction.
Most of the violent protests have stopped now. The parents of the slain Ethiopian have pleaded with Israelis to halt protests until after the shiva mourning period.

Yep, its all about the virtue signalling,
the Bolsheviks wanted to be the sainted saviors for the proletariat in Russia and now these new totalitarians want to be the race (gender etc.) saviors. It will end up much the same way.

Ethiopian-Israeli protests reportedly set to resume after pause
Ethiopian-Israeli community organizers on Saturday night announced they would restart demonstrations against racism and police violence, after widespread protests rocked the country last week in the wake of the police shooting of a 19-year-old.
An off-duty police officer shot to death Solomon Tekah in Haifa on June 30, setting off protests across the country which sometimes included violence and destruction of property.
Protests had faded on Wednesday after Tekah's family asked that demonstrations be paused until after the seven-day Jewish mourning period, which ends Sunday. The family had asked that protests be kept non-violent and said an official memorial ceremony would be planned.
A protest is planned for Monday at the Azrieli intersection in Tel Aviv, the scene of some of the worst violence last week.
On Monday, protesters across Israel blocked roads, burned tires and denounced what they say is systemic discrimination against the Ethiopian-Israeli community. The demonstrations escalated after Tekah's funeral Tuesday, when some protesters set vehicles on fire, overturned a police car and clashed with officers and others who tried to break through their makeshift roadblocks.
The officer, who was off duty at the time of the June 30 incident in Haifa, has claimed he was trying to break up a street fight he came across but was set upon by three youths who hurled stones at him, endangering his life.
On Thursday, the lawyer for the officer, who is under house arrest and heavily guarded for fear of reprisals, said he had acted in self defense.

Ethiopian-Israeli protests resume over killing of teenager by cop
Demonstrators in Tel Aviv march from Azrieli junction to Rabin Square, rallies take place elsewhere following end of family's seven-day mourning period
Ethiopian-Israeli protests resumed Monday, ending a pause of several days after angry demonstrations rocked the country last week over the police killing of an unarmed teen.
In Tel Aviv, demonstrators gathered at the Azrieli intersection and planned to march to the city's Rabin Square. Police said roads would be blocked to make room for the rally.
Other protests were set to take place around the country.
Police said in a statement that they wouldn't tolerate the disorder and road closures caused by last week's protests, which were sparked when an off-duty police officer shot to death 19-year-old Solomon Tekah in Haifa on June 30.
