A parent in the northern Israeli city of Kiryat Bialik allegedly assaulted an Ethiopian school bus guard yesterday, breaking her nose, Ynet reported.

Ziona Mangistu was reportedly told by the school’s principal to refuse to allow a particular student to board the bus because he was suspended from school.
 
After Mangistu stopped the boy for boarding, she received a call from the boy's father who allegedly shouted racist slurs at her, including, “stinking Ethiopian, we will have you sent back to where you came from!” 

The boy’s father then boarded the bus and "in front of some 30 kids punched Ziona in the face, breaking her nose. She is still in bed suffering from pain and might have to return to hospital. More than the pain, she is shocked by the whole incident. This hatred. We do not comprehend the violence and racism; we are like any other citizen of this country," Mangistu’s husband told Ynet.
 
After punching Mangistu, the father fled. Mangistu was taken to hospital for medical care. But when she reported the assault to the school's principal, the principal allegedly told her not to file a police complaint.
 
The Kiryat Bialik’s Mayor Eli Dukorsky said he "expects the police to convey zero tolerance message to aggression against public employees including this case." The mayor visited Mangistu and reportedly told her that the city will support and assist her.

Police detained the father for questioning, later releasing him to house arrest for five days.

Schools often cover up incidents of abuse (both by and against staff members) so the administration doesn't look bad. That said, the racist trolls will now come out of the woodwork, as they always do in these threads.

This looks and sounds like Germany in late 1930s
"Why do abused children become abusers?"

To me in America, it's unthinkable that any Jewish person would do such a thing.
OK, color me naive. But I'm still shocked and horrified.

. . .entitlement, or the sense thereof can show it's monstrous head in the most violent ways!

This is disgusting behaviour on the part of the parent. The court should "throw the book at" them. Sadly I don't think that will happen.

Primitives. Like someone out of Mississippi circa 1960. Cretinous, aggressive social primitives feeling strength in numbers and counting on noninterference by the police act the same way all over the world. Too bad these are 'ours', though I use the term advisedly.

YOU ARE THE PEOPLE WHO SUFFERED A LOT FROM DISCRIMINATION AMONG ALL PEOPLE OF THE WORLD AND IT IS UNFORTUNATE TO SEE SOME ISRAELS STILL BEHAVING THE WAY THE WORLD TREATED THEM IN THE HISTORY.
IT ALWAYS BACKFIRES THOUGH!

this are the incidences that test if the administrators are alike the aggressors parent here or not.
the action of the administrator will give lessons 'good or bad'.

hope to hear the follow through soon.

When will the Israeli government start using a "tough love" approach? The guy who assaulted her has to pay for what he did, especially because he did it in front of the kids. What example does that set?

He should be sentenced to 100 hours of picking up garbage in the neighborhood where Ethiopian Jews live. If he is from the USA, then he should be deported.
