This is Arik Ze'evi, who just won the bronze in judo for Israel. Do we know what his race is exactly? Who cares. Israelis have risked their lives to bring Ethiopian Jews, Yemenite Jews and others to Israel. It was never about color.

He is white and I plan on going to Israel for a visit..
I am not being sarcastic when I mention this but the Israeli Goverment is All White I see no other races in powers of government...
I know a family of Yemeni Jews (Israelis) who live on Staten Island....they consider themselves Caucasian....lol..believe me....some of them look sort of Italian or Greek...hardly Negroid unless one believes racial myth fantasies from the flick "True Romance" ...lol
There are very few Negroid Jews that I know of and are most likely the result of intermarriage (someone correct me if they are indig Jews in Ghana or the Congo, please).....The Falashas are a hybrid at most and not terribly similar to West Africans which is what the vernacular "black" usually infers.
Therefore, I doubt there is much chance for what we would consider a "black" Israeli PM...they seem to prefer Ashkenazi ethnic Jews most with Hebrew rather than Germanic-Polish-Russian or Hungarian surnames.
There are also still many Israelis who don't buy the Falasha thing and in fact don't buy that all the Russkies streaming in are real Jews either.
I know a lot of Israelis including those from all 3 main ethnic groups
