MK Danny Danon met with the Ethiopian community in Kiryat Malachi to hear firsthand about racism the community is experiencing. This visit follows ongoing reports of institutionalized discrimination against Ethiopian Jews in real estate and education.  MK Danon is leading a broad legislative effort dealing with specifically with this form of racism, including a widening of the principle of “corrective discrimination."  Danon says that we need to do whatever is necessary for every Jew to feel safe and equal in Israel.  During his visit, Danon praised the dedicated Ethiopian and Non-Ethiopian Jews who come together to study and volunteer for the community.
