Nowhere in the coverage do I read the elementary facts that Ethiopians have average IQs of about 70 and that this low IQ predicts problems.
As I wrote more than a year ago: “Is Israel Better Off For The Presence Of 120,000 Ethiopians With Average IQs Of 63?”
Shmuel Rosner writes: “Ethiopian Israelis are poorer than other Israelis, they are less educated, they are overrepresented in jails, they often feel alienated from Israel’s larger society. Many of them live in problematic neighbourhoods. They study in problematic schools, or are sent to dead-end educational programs. A vicious cycle is at play for many of them. Parents who cannot guide their offspring. Offspring that are tempted by criminal elements. Schools that see no future for these kids, who have no resources with which to overcome the many obstacles they face. A police that have all the statistics with which to prove that suspecting a young Ethiopian walking in the street at night is actually sensible. So every Ethiopian becomes a suspect. Because of his skin color he is easily identified, and harassed. Then he becomes even more alienated.”
