Rehovot Murder: President Katsav Urges Policy to Aid Ethiopian Integration
"President Moshe Katsav called on the government yesterday to institute an affirmative action policy to assist the integration of Israelis of Ethiopian origin in Israeli society.
Katsav spoke at an official state rally in memory of 4,000 Ethiopian Jews who died in the Sudanese desert on their way to Israel during Operation Moses.
Immigrant Absorption Minister Tzipi Livni spoke about the recent murder of Ma'ayan Sapir in Rehovot, and said that sometimes when "one member sins, Israeli society is angry at the entire congregation."
The memorial ceremony has taken place for 20 years in an improvised space near Kibbutz Ramat Rachel. This is the second year it has been conducted as an official state ceremony, following a High Court petition. Starting next year, the ceremony will take place on Mount Herzl."
