Ethiopian Jews have several important laws (Kashrut) concerning their diet. They are forbidden to eat some meats and fish such as pigs and shellfish. Animals must be killed for eating purposes and must be very quickly drained of their blood by a specialist butcher. Blood vessels and nerves are forbidden as well as some fats. Jewish people also have certain laws about their cooking pots and utensils and what is cooked in which pot.

Do Ethiopian Jews face a lot of prejudice in Israel by Ashkenazi or Sephardi or Mizrahi Jews?
There is certainly some prejudice towards Ethiopian Jews in Israel. It is primarily informal prejudice, such as failures to hire, landlords failing to rent out apartments to Ethiopians and similar. There are no laws that discriminate between Ethiopian-Israelis and other Israelis. Some Israelis who are asked about why they make decisions construed as prejudicial say that they made the decision they did because they mistook the Ethiopian for a Sudanese or Nigerian Non-Jew who they see as guest workers and troublemakers in Israel (which is similar to the European perception of Muslims or the US perception of Hispanics). Others say that the Ethiopian candidate was rejected as were a number of non-Ethiopian candidates and equal opportunity means that Ethiopians will not always get their way. Ethiopians typically have less education and fewer skills, which make them less attractive to employers. However, most Ethiopian Israelis do believe that they are discriminated against, even if they cannot recall a particular incident of discrimination that happened to them. There are numerous protests in Israel by Ethiopian Jews and other Israeli Liberals who sympathize with the Ethiopians' situation. Realizing that the Sudanese/Nigerian argument is the most commonly used one against them, they often say "We are not Muslims like them, but Jews, see us as equals", which is, of course, its own form of prejudice (because it implies that Muslims should not be seen as equals).
Do Jews kill?
Jews kill some types of animals for food, according to Jewish dietary laws, but it is forbidden to kill people except in self-defense, or in defense of one's country. Of course, not all Jews necessarily follow the tenets of Judaism and there have been a few Jewish murderers over the years, but this is not unique to Jews; this is an occurence among every group.
Who are the ethiopian Jews?
A study by Professors Lucotte and Smets has shown that the genetic father of Beta Israel (Ethiopian Jews) was close to the Ethiopian non-Jewish populations. This is consistent with the theory that Beta Israel are descendants of ancient inhabitants of Ethiopia, not the Middle East. Hammer et al. in 2000, and the team of Shen in 2004, arrive at similar conclusions, namely that the DNA of the Ethiopian Jews probably indicates a conversion of local populations. A 2012 study showed that while primarily related to the local populations, Ethiopian Jews have very distant genetic links to other Jews, and are likely descended from a few Jewish founders. It has been concluded that the community began when a few itinerant Jews who settled in Ethiopia in ancient times, converted locals to Judaism, and married into the local populations. It has been estimated that this happened some 2,000 years ago.
What do Muslims eat that Jews cannot?

Do Jews eat ham?
I know some do. In my city the Jewish delis serve ham and bacon. They also serve cheeseburgers which is I believe is against the dietary laws. Seinfeld and the Gellers on "Friends" love their ham.
