I'm joining a small protest of Ethiopians outside Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, asking for support for the Tirgray in Ethiopia

Holding banners and Tirgray flags, the protesters describe the massacres carried out by the Ethiopian Government and Amhara militias in Tirgray Region as a genocide

This woman's banner says "in the middle, on the side, where is Israel?"

The protest organisers told me Tirgray Region is essentially under siege and is running out of food and medicine. They want Israeli to airdrop humanitarian aid into the Region.

More banners. One reads "murder is everyone's responsibility." Another says "the Jews of Tirgray have the right to life too". A protesters told me all the Ethiopian Jews here are from Tirgray Region.

Passing people are interested in the protest and its cause. A bus driver invites one of the protesters to give him a flyer. He gets on the bus and gives them out to other passengers too.
