The feature presentation this morning is a radio interview with Haaretz journalist Gideon Levy conducted by prominent British journalist John Snow on a BBC program called Frontline. The interview was conducted in a room with several other journalists who joined in on the question portion of the show. Gideon Levy doesn't mince words in his analysis of Israel's nightmare government.
Before this, we pass on a Haaretz report of white Israelis' racism against their darker-skinned Ethiopian Jewish brethren. About 1% of the Israeli population are black Ethiopian Jews. Israel's engrained racism doesn't end with Palestinians! It also treats its Ethiopian brethren with contempt and brutality, not unlike U.S. behavior against black and poor.
