Really? So all the reports are wrong?
Too few Ethiopian Jews to take a leading role in Israel. There were only a total of 80,000 evacuated from Ethiopia, I believe, and today there can be under 250,000, I'd estimate. They were put on Kibbutzes initially, I heard. They are prospering, but not supplanting the role of Ashkenazi Israelis.
And, your point about a more integrated Germany between Catholics and Lutherans ignores the fact that Germans of either faith "love" being Germans in their homeland. That's how Israelis feel. Palestineans, in my opinion, wouldn't mind the presence of Jews so much, if Jews weren't so darn competent of making the desert bloom, and cities rise out of the sand. Nothing like competency to invoke Schadenfreude, in my opinion.
