Brawl Erupts
At Center
Jerusalem (JTA) — A
fierce brawl between Ethio-
pian and Soviet immigrants
broke out last week at a
Jerusalem absorption
center. Four Soviet olim
were hospitalized for minor
injuries.
Jewish Agency officials in-
sisted racism played no part
in the fracas. But Israeli au-
thorities are questioning the
wisdom of housing immi-
grants from widely disparate
ethnic and social
backgrounds under the same
roof.
The incident, which left
seething tensions in its
wake, occurred at a former
hotel ironically named the
Diplomat. It has been serv-
ing as temporary quarters
for about 200 recently arriv-
ed Soviet Jews and some 600
Ethiopians, part of the
14,000 brought to Israel in
the Operation Solomon
airlift of May 24-25.
Police who broke up the
melee, which involved
dozens of olim on both sides,
said stones, iron bars and
other improvised weapons,
possibly even knives, were
wielded by the combatants.
Israeli newspapers
featured photographs of
bloodied olim in ambulances
being taken to hospitals,
where they were treated for
flesh wounds.
Trouble seems to have
been brewing for some time
between the two groups at
the absorption center. Soviet
parents told reporters that
the violent confrontation
was triggered by frequent
fights between young Soviet
children and older Ethiopi-
ans.
Soviet Jews at the hotel
complained that the Ethio-
pians were noisy and untidy,
and that they had started
the fights.
A young Ethiopian immi-
grant who said his name was
Mengistu told Israel Radio
that he had studied some
Russian in Addis Ababa and
understood the frequently
insulting remarks by the
Soviet olim about his people.
According to some sources,
the ill feelings stem from
Soviet Jews' resentment of
the extra benefits given the
Ethiopian immigrants, who
come from a primitive socie-
ty and have trouble ad-
justing to Israel's Western
lifestyle.
"They just refuse to accept
that they are both members
of the same people," said
Meir Buzaglo, one of the
homeless Israelis who also
live at the absorption center.
