The worker verbally attacked the boy, saying "don't come in, you stink, you're a stinking kushi ["stinking n*%ger"". When the teen refused to back down, the man took hold of him and punched him in the face.

Ethiopian teen attacked at mikveh
Racism in Bnei Brak: Worker curses boy at entrance to ritual bath, calling him 'stinking black person,' then follows him home and physically attacks his family. 'I slapped him but good,' he tells police
Artzi Halfon • Ynet

The discrimination and deprivation felt by the Ethiopian community has reached ritual baths: A Bnei Brak resident barred a 13 year old Ethiopian teen from going into the mikveh recenty, claiming the boy was a "stinking kushi" (a derogatory Hebrew term for black people). He then hit the boy, his brother and his aunt.

The boy arrived at the mikveh two weeks ago to undergo the ritual purification ceremony, but was met by an employee who would not let him pass.

The worker verbally attacked him, saying "don't come in, you stink, you're a stinking kushi". When the teen refused to back down, the man took hold of him and punched him in the face.

During his interrogation, the worker did not deny that he hit the teen. He told police officers: "I slapped him but good".

The injured teen ran away in the direction of his home as the man ran after him. The teen's 15-year-old brother was waiting at the entrance to their home, and tried to prevent the man from continuing his attack on the teen. But then the man started hitting the big brother, and even threw a brick at him.

When the boys' aunt arrived at the scene to help them, after hearing them cry for help, the man hit her in the head and kicked her.

After police were called to the scene, the attacker claimed in his defense at the Dan Region police headquarters, that he was the one who was attacked by "a bunch of Ethiopians". His version of events wasn't accepted, and an indictment request was filed with the Tel Aviv Magistrate Court.

It is time for an expose about what is taught in Orthodox and Charedi schools, along the lines of:

Both in the US and in Israel!

The shmuck at the mikvah will be charged for his crimes, or so we hope.

Now, I think I'm finally starting to understand the term "Kushi" as used on this site! When it's said by a secular Jew, or an agent of the Israeli government, then it means simply "darky" such as in this post:

But whenever it's said by a haredi Jew, then it is claimed that he meant the n-word.

Of course a secular Jew would never say the n-word, so kushim means darkies if they say it and our no-true-scotsman fallacy would not be complete unless we insisted that all haredim do say the n-word and therefore we change the meaning of kushi to the n-word, even though it doesn't really mean n-word. Makes sense...

In term of racism, I fail to see a qualitative difference between 'darky' and 'nigger'.

That you do is rather telling.

[ruthie]

oh! i wish this were my adopted son. i would have a field day.

[harold]

I hope the worker gets fired.

[What kind of goyishe name is Harold?]

In Brooklyn, the boy would have been abused far worse in the Mikveh. On the other hand the sickos there do not discriminate on color. All is good.

This will be an interesting test of chareidi society. So place your bets:

They will respond by(mutiple selections allowed)

1. Firing the worker
2. Supporting his prosecution for racism and assault
3. Issue public statements about how such conduct is a sin on many different grounds
4. Deny it happened
5. Admit it happened but claim it happened differently and insist the boy was to blame
6. Organize a pidyon shvuyim fund and denounce the prejudiced goyish Zionist-Nazi regime
7. Throw rocks and burn dumpsters
8. Turn their mikvas into private associations with limited entry unless you happen to be a caucasian in which case membership is easy to obtain.

Why are boys going to the Mikvah anyway instead of the Y swimming pool? They aren't menstruating.

[Ish Boshet]

Haredis will destroy the Jewish people!

[A. Nuran]

Yerachmiel Lopin, I'm guessing #4, #6 and possibly #5

[harold]

They will respond by(mutiple selections allowed)

I choose #1

This is sad and disgusting racism.
The only way is to massively do kiruv world-wide (repeat world-wide) to non-Jews of all races, and then by sheer numbers of Jews of colour and pink/ white Jews, everyone will influence these b---tards to shut up.

[jay]

I suspect the most likely outcome will be #5. The racism inflicted upon Jews of Ethiopian origin is sickening.

[Ann]

They did not donate to the mikvah, apparently.

[Chicago Sam]

Next time Orthodox people warn everyone about the sins/dangers of assimilation, they should really hold a mirror and look at themselves; they are following the hateful model of anti-Semites who have tortured our people throughout the ages.

Gevalt.

[A Devil]

"hateful model of anti-semites who(m)have tortured our people" etc ec etc and of course you hypocritical, lying, murdering, parasitic scum have never ever harmed anyone I suppose!

well some of us are well aware of the crimes your "gods" and you have committed against the peoples of this planet and the day of reconing is not far distant.
