"When violent riots against African migrant workers erupted in south Tel Aviv recently, a mob attacked Hanania Wanda, a Jew of Ethiopian origin, mistaking him for a Sudanese migrant worker.
"Wanda is my friend," says Elias Inbram, a social activist in the Ethiopian community and a former member of the Israeli diplomatic corps who served as spokesman for the embassy in South Africa. "I knew I had to react somehow."
He suddenly realized, says Inbram, 38, "that since to white people, all blacks look the same -- I, an Israeli Jew who is black, or anyone in my family, or anyone in my community, could be attacked, too.""
