The children of Ethiopian descent in the southern town of Kiryat Gat met in an auxiliary room with a separate entrance, The Times of Israel reported.
They were spread out to kindergartens and day cares throughout the town, with transportation provided by the municipality.
Officials discovered the issue after a parent of Ethiopian descent posted on Facebook on the first day of school that she and her 3-year-old daughter were directed to a classroom of exclusively Ethiopian-Israeli children. She immediately left with her daughter and went to the municipal hall to complain.
“Because of the color of their skin they cannot mix with other children,” wrote the mother, Sefy Bililin. “My daughter is worth as much as anyone else.”
“She was born here,” the mother said, “and she is as good as anyone.”

disgusting
Welcome to reality….
I agree with the parents, who wants their yngle exposed to wild beasts
according to a woman who works in Kiryat Gat, the behavior of the white kids is different than that of the black kids. The passport might say they are both Israeli citizens, but then the similarity ends…..
No one is trying to kill the Eithopians; but rather to separate the kids so the ‘good’ kids do not learn the bad habits of the ‘bad’ kids….
I take back all of what I said, I guess I am a idiot for saying that the Israelis are similar to Nazis. I must get a psychotic check up and stop using drugs when I write my comments.
I hope all will forgive me….
I read some comments here exasperated nearly to tears…Jim Crow is alive and well right here on VIN…some of you are nothing more than racist scum, no different than the white segregationists who beat me and others at civil rights demonstrations 50+ years ago…your arguments are the same…and echo antisemitic charges historically made about us. Good Old Boy Racists with yarmulkes…there is no Mesorah for your filth…no wonder you people love Trump so much.
First of all the article was speaking of Ethiopian Jews, not American inner city gang banging blackyouth. Once again, leftism and leftists can be blamed for this legacy. The Israeli communist leadership created the legacy of skin color racism through their treatment of Sephardim. This is an unfortunate continuation of that legacy
Chaval, the municipality should increase staff to ensure proper education ALL the children TOGETHER. They are all our future. If the concern is that the “bad” will teach the “good” then why not put an emphasis on the “good” teaching the “bad” with enough staff.
