The Israeli Black Panthers: Who were they and where are they now?

This informative i24News segment (09:35) focuses on the Israeli Black Panthers, a social protest group formed in the 1970s by Jewish immigrants from North Africa fighting against racial discrimination and their poor socio-economic status in Israeli society. The video was produced in the context of a 2016-2017 photography exhibition of the group at the Israel Museum that highlighted the human side of the group members, often vilified by Israeli leadership, police and the media at the time. An interview with a founding member of the Black Panthers explains the founding and activities of the movement, and its connection to the American group of the same name. This news segment also explores how issues of discrimination and social and economic inequality still exist in Israeli society today.
