Hundreds of Israelis of Ethiopian descent demonstrated yesterday in Jerusalem against what they said was blatant discrimination against their community by the state. The protesters clashed with police briefly when they blocked a main road near the Foreign Ministry. Eleven protesters suffered injuries in the clashes, as did four officers, and 25 arrests were made.
