Israeli Night Of Broken Glass: Africans Attacked In Tel Aviv Anti-migrant Demo by Nobody: 9:50am On May 24, 2012
One of the places you will see this is in Israel. Why I don't support smoking of Jews by Hitler, I neither give a damn about the so-called holocaust.

Thousands of Israelis, including high-profile politicians, attended an anti-African demonstration in Tel Aviv. The rally turned violent, with attacks on Africans and grocery shop windows being smashed.

­The gathering, which took place in Tel Aviv’s Hatikva neighborhood, targeted the influx of African asylum seekers and was organized by Michael Ben Ari, a Knesset member from the National Union party, along with far-right activists Itamar Ben-Guir and Baruch Marzel, Israeli newspaper Haaretz reports.

Many protesters also blamed the government, and Benjamin Netanyahu specifically, for inaction.

But the rally was also attended by politicians from the ruling Likud party, including Knesset members Miri Regev and Danny Danon. While Regev described asylum seekers as a “cancer in our body,” Danon said the “infiltrators” had to be immediately expelled from Israel.

“We should not be afraid to say the words 'expulsion now,'” Danon was reported as saying.

The crowd carried signs proclaiming messages such as “This is not Africa” and “Stop talking, start expelling.”

But as the sun set the rally turned violent, with demonstrators attacking at least a dozen African men and women who were unfortunate enough to be near the scene. They also smashed the shop front of a grocery store that served the migrant workers, subsequently looting it. Demonstrators also broke the window of a cab driven by a suspected African migrant worker. A bonfire was also lit up in the street. Seventeen people were reportedly arrested.

The rage of those who attended the rally seems to reflect a growing intolerance of the incoming African asylum seekers and migrant workers, even among those in the highest ranks of power.

On Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told his ministers that the phenomenon of “illegal work infiltrators” was “very grave,” and that it “threatened the social fabric of society,” Israel’s national security and national identity. He also warned that unless action is taken, the migrants could “inundate” the country and “cancel out its image as a Jewish and democratic state.”

Netanyahu’s words were strongly supported by Interior Minister Eli Yishai, who called for the deportation of asylum seekers.

Thousands of migrants from Eritrea and South Sudan came to Israel, saying they wanted to escape the poverty and political instability at home. Most of them are headed for Europe, but are unable to use their traditional path through Libya because of the ongoing post-civil war strife in the country. Once in Israel, they are looked after by local NGOs and the UN High Commission for Refugees. Most of them settle in Tel Aviv.

The government has been trying to deport refugees from South Sudan back to their homeland, but the motion was halted by the Jerusalem District Court. The court issued a temporary order prohibiting the deportation until it rules on a petition filed by five human rights organization against the state’s decision to deport the immigrants, arguing that their lives may be endangered if they return home. Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein is set to appear before the court next week to argue that there is no legal obstacle to the expulsion, as individual checks will show that none of the immigrants face any threats to their lives back South Sudan.

gidiMonsta: Jews are extremely racial, even in the US they are the biggest racist. Not surprised at all.

Yes, they are. This is why I am very weary of all these middle easterners, jews, oyibo, chinese and what have you. I have lived abroad long enough to know that most people from other racial groups are very xenophobic towards Africans. This is also why it pains me so that when these same groups of people come to Nigeria, Nigerians treat them like demi gods at the expense of their fellow compatriots. In fact, Nigerians treat non-black foreigners living in Nigeria better than they treat their fellow Nigerians from other ethnic groups.

I thank God for the internet which allows news to travel fast. I hope that Nigerians who are fond of globe trotting/migrating will use their blackberry to read some of this type of news and educate themselves of the dangers out there in these perilous times. We are in the last days and nations will rise against nations and kingdom against kingdom (Mark 13:8 ).

Countries around the world are tighthening their borders and holding on tight to their resources and putting the interest of their citizens first. However, in Nigeria, we sit there like mumus while the chinese, lebanese, Indians and whites come into our country and take over our resources, jobs, and what have you. As Nigerians we put the interest of foreigners over ours and that is just pathetic because nowhere else in the world is it done that way nowadays. Anyways, we will learn the hard way.

They are not in the country illegally but what does the Prime Minister mean by the highlight? What is illegal work and what illegal work are they involved in? Zionism wants to infiltrate other people land but does not want its own land infiltrated. . .bunch of fvckers!

Well, we have their kins here. . . .since they dont want Sudanese and Eritreans will they please evacuate the Ibos (Heeboes/Hebrews) from here and resettle them in Tel Aviv?
