Text & translations

The integration of the recent immigrants from Ethiopia into our world of progress will not be difficult. And within a short time they will master the intricacies of the sophisticated telephone system and even manage to reach their family members in Jerusalem once a month.

With little effort, they will also get used to the wonders of public transportation. We will sell them bank shares and be able to train them properly in everything to do with the queue at a health clinic. Then only one serious problem will remain unresolved: [illegible].

How will we explain [illegible] to them?
