A 26-year old Israeli activist of Ethiopian origin, Mulet Araro, set out on foot to Jerusalem on Monday morning to protest against racism in Israeli society. Starting out from his home in Kiryat Malachi, Araro, who is a member of an Ethiopian activist group, will take three days to reach Jerusalem, arriving in time for an anti-racism protest which is scheduled to take place on Wednesday. Hundreds of demonstrators hit the streets of Kiryat Malachi last week, protesting what they call the discrimination of Ethiopian immigrants. According to Ethiopian residents of the town, housing committees in the city have been refusing to sell them apartments. Hate graffiti against Israelis of Ethiopian origin was also sprayed on several vehicles and walls in the town last Sunday.
