Reporter (in 2019) 'The thing that drives Palestinians crazy most at checkpoints - that an Ethiopian soldier checks on them.' A "slave" as they see them.<ref>[https://www.maariv.co.il/news/military/Article-706884 "The thing that drives Palestinians crazy most at checkpoints - that an Ethiopian soldier checks on them"], Maariv Online, 05/07/2019.<blockquote> [https://images.maariv.co.il/image/upload/f_auto,fl_lossy/c_fill,g_faces:center,w_690/532630]

Commentator Zvika Yehezkeli referred to the way Ethiopians protested in the Arab and Palestinian media: "A Gaza worker told me he could not accept that a slave would check on me."
... In general the whole matter of the dark-skinned in the Arab countries and also in Islam is a huge story of its own. "... Abd - slave in Arabic - an inferior slave who is bought is black, dark-skinned."
You told me that you came across this this week when you were in Gaza and met workers from Gaza there.
"True. First of all I also met it in the territories but this week I got it really strong. I came to Gaza with Alon Ben David, we did an article in the envelope to mark five years to the war. Put him in the Kerem Shalom crossing. In this crossing there is the part where Israel unloads the goods The Palestinian forklifts from Gaza. I asked them to let me in their part to talk to them as freely as possible. It is difficult for them to really say what they think about the Gaza government. When the camera went down on the floor they spoke more freely. Mine is near Ashkelon I will go back there and it will be okay, you are fine. I told him but you always want to send us to places where our parents came, to Iraq. He says to me 'I have no problem with you, I have a problem with Ethiopians and Russians. "And I can not accept that a slave will examine me."
I mean he can not have an Ethiopian soldier be in position and check on him?
"Yes. Islam from its inception and even before Islam, all Arab signs would buy black slaves in Africa. The color black is an inferior color in Islamic society."
So what does it do to him when an Ethiopian soldier stands in front of him?
"Oh ... do you know what he told me? 'I can not stand this thing. This is for me the greatest humiliation I get - that you put an Ethiopian soldier.' Look how much this social stratification of colors is imprinted, and so it was in Africa. Today in Africa - the horrific massacre in Darfur was among those who are less dark-skinned and darker-skinned. The word slave is black in Arabic. Even the word crembo is the head of Africans, blacks because crembo is dark. Western countries will stop stopping the slave trade. "The color black is perceived as inferior, and the thing that drives them crazy the most is us with Ethiopian soldiers checking them out and it really drives them crazy."</blockquote></ref>
