Yated: Ethiopian Jews are Goyim

The big thinkers at Yated were at a loss this week, as they attempted to come up with offensive articles. "Who should we bash? YU? Wig-wearers? Independant thinkers?" They scratched their heads and hopped about like laboratory monkeys on amphetamines.

This week, Yated published an article with the following headline:

"More and More Goyim Want to Move to Israel"

Sounds exciting! Who could these mysterious goyim be? Fundamental Christians from Texas wanting to move to the Holy Land in preparation for Rapture? Noahides from Seattle looking to get closer to God? Nope.

The article continues... (Note: Anyone who is sensitive to stupidity and prone to breaking random objects when confronted with abject bigotry should stop reading at this point.)

"The Israeli government has decided to bring over the entire Falashmura community in Addis Ababa."

That's right, the Yated has ruled, conclusively and decisively as always, that all Ethiopian Falashas are goyim. Not full Jews (R' Ovadya Yosef*). Not possible Jews (R' Y. Herzog). Not former Jews who should be assisted, educated and converted (R' Moshe Feinstein**). Nope, they're all Goyim.
