African Migrants Fire bombed in Israel

MrMatisse

A dreadful cycle of Anti- Migrant violence in Israel continues:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/jun/04/jerusalem-apartment-housing-migrants-firebombed

An apartment housing 10 Eritreans has been firebombed in Jerusalem, against the backdrop of rising anti-migrant sentiment in Israel.

The attack in the early hours of Monday morning follows a series of firebombings in southern Tel Aviv.

Shops run by or serving migrants were smashed up and looted in a violent demonstration last month, in which Africans were attacked.
Politicians, including the prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, and the interior minister, Eli Yishai, have inflamed the volatile mood by suggesting Israel is being flooded with 'illegal infiltrators', that migrants are responsible for a crime wave and calling for all migrants to be locked up or deported.

On Sunday, a law came into effect allowing the Israeli authorities to jail migrants for up to three years.


Of all countries you would expect more from Israel. A very very sad state of affairs.

Ammmmmm not really.

Youd have thought they would welcome migrants given they are migrants themselves.

MrMatisse

Reports of the violence in Isreal:

Shopkeeper Ellen Barhat hides behind the closed iron louver of her shop. Only a narrow crack separates her from the street. Only a few customers enter the shop, which in any case has hardly anything left to sell. The refrigerator door has been ripped from its hinges, and Barhat has already cleared away the fragments of the many broken bottles. Only the red bricks resting on the floor - which had been hurled into his shop

I reckon it's imminent.. Also, with the state of our own economy we have no right to be criticising other countries

juan.kerr

Perhaps this was this perpetrated by Arab Israelis?

As far as I know a lot of European Jews aren't even actual Israelis, but are descended from Eastern European tribes that converted to Judaism. So that means Israel isn't really their homeland...

Oh the lolness.

MrMatisse

the situation in South Tel Aviv is a really sad state of affairs.

Reading the title I thought they had bombed some African migrants fire

Joshua J

Hold tight, the JIDF lads will be along presently. They're just working out how to approach this.

Temptamperu

Whats next? Maybe they should start putting, I don't know little yellow stars on anyone who is not a "Israeli" jew.

Sunnyisland

There is racism and discrimination in every country in the world,even amongst Africans.As the western world goes deeper into recession you can expect to see nationalism and anti immigrant groups rising and getting more support.

snubbleste

I heard the plan is to put all the african migrants into detention camps currently under construction. There, they will do labour to earn their way. A work camp if you will..
Anyone know what arbeit macht frei is in hebrew?

Dudess

Could happen in any country unfortunately - I'm opposed to the Israeli state's behaviour towards Palestine buy it's unfair IMO to place this attack in the context of the political situation. Plus the thugs who did this are not all of Israel.

Holy crapola, I thought the work camps thing was a bit of 'Zionists are the new Nazis' satire.

Mr Benevolent

Ah yes, so work WILL make African immigrants free. Anyone know what 'arbeit macht frei' translates as in Yiddish?

Dudess

Actually yeah, fuk them. This mentality goes up to official level. Kristallnacht sprung to mind when I re-read the OP just there...

Now wouldn't you think with Israel's own history that they would know that this wont end well

Sappa

Could you imagine if we had state work for the African migrants who land here,we wouldn't be able to half fill mosney the amount of refugee applicants would be so slim.

Chuck Stone

Are the Israelis deliberately trying to make people dislike them or what?

I mean there are people alive who would remember this.

WTF Israel?

Illegal Infiltrators?
Israel as usual acts in defiance of all law and standards of decency.
Who Says the Jews Never Gave Us Anything?
I still have that picture in my head of 11-year-old Ahmad Mousa who was unarmed and was shot in the head as he sat with friends.
Aid workers shot dead,Irish peace keepers bombed,
School's bombed,Hospital's bombed,
And as usual the international community does nothing.
Expel All the Illegal Infiltrators! They can start with themselves.
The world stood up to Apartheid in South Africa.
Now it's time for people power, Don't buy good's from Israel.
Boycott all goods from 'illegal' settlements.

What will boycotting achieve?

Will justice minister Shatter speak out against this?

He is the first to speak out in support of his beloved homeland whenever someone sullies its name.

If your not a Jew you not really that welcome in Israel.

I came across some lovely people there, but if somebody does not like you there for your beliefs or whatever there is no worse country to be in. That includes places like Congo.

From my own eyes I don't like what Israel is doing to there neighbours. They can be ruthless. Actually their army is the most brutal I have seen.

Yup, and come November most of those arguing (rightly) against this on this thread will be trumpeting the re-election of Obama, as if he has nothing to do with it. Depressing really.

Cool. Well then they should preach what they practice and stop pushing "multiculturalism" in western nations.

Ronit Lentin, Alan Shatter, Ivana Backic and many more have pushed multiculturalism in Ireland.

All zionists.

Yeah, its a Jewish conspiracy.....You know Bacik supports a boycott of Israel? Or did you just go "Jew=Unequivocal Israel Supporter" and rant away regardless.

Are the young people changing in that regard or is their time in the army reinforcing the hostility towards non jews ?

I guarantee that I am more left wing than you, friend.

Wanting the EU to operate more stringent immigration policies does not make one a right wing stormtrooper.

But automatically equating Jews with zionism and saying they act as a body to promote an agenda does indicate that somebody has - at the very least - downloaded the Stormtrooper application form.

So it would be better for migrants to Israel if Obama does not get re-elected?

Would you care to retract your remark about Ivana Bacik?

You know that Ronit Lentin is not a zionist and has written extensively about the evils of the occupation as well?

Nah. Just a jewish leader of a jewish organisation with one of their main aims - to promote multiculturalism in europe. Which, she states must take place. Europe must become multicultural.

Swedish state funded, of course.
