http://islamversuseurope.blogspot.ie/2014/01/the-biter-bitten-african-migrants.html Tel Aviv (AFP) - More than 30,000 African asylum seekers who entered Israel illegally protested in Tel Aviv on Sunday, police said, in the biggest rally ever staged by migrants in the Jewish state.
"More than 30,000 demonstrators marched peacefully in Tel Aviv," police spokeswoman Lubra Samri told AFP.
Gathered in the coastal city's central Rabin Square, the protesters sharply criticised Israel's refusal to give them refugee status and the detention without trial of hundreds of asylum seekers.
"We are all refugees" and "Yes to freedom, no to prison!" they chanted in English, with Israeli rights activists also joining the march.
Ultra-Orthodox MP Eli Yishai, the hardline former interior minister who in 2012 led the government campaign to round up and deport tens of thousands of illegal migrants, denounced the protest.
Yishai said that the "infiltrators", as authorities call them, were encouraged by "anti-Zionist human rights organisations".
Rights groups say most African migrants in Israel cannot be deported because their lives would be under threat if they returned to their homes in Sudan and Eritrea.
Yishai told the website of Maariv daily that Tel Aviv, where many of the migrants live, "long ago became an African city".
He said the demonstration was "a sharp and clear cry for the state of Israel and judicial and law enforcement authorities to apply all the means at their disposal to return the infiltrators to their countries".
Dawud, an Eritrean asylum-seeker at the protest, told AFP: "We have fled persecution, dictatorships, civil wars and genocides.
"Instead of considering us refugees, Israel treats us like criminals," he added, without giving his full name.
Dawud said the demonstrators intended to head for the UN refugee agency's Tel Aviv office and foreign embassies in the city in further rallies on Monday.
Many illegal immigrants, who are often employed in menial jobs in restaurants and hotels, also launched a three-day strike in several Israeli cities on Sunday.
Under legislation passed on December 10, authorities can detain illegal immigrants entering Israel for up to a year without trial.
The same month a sprawling detention facility named "Holot" or "Sands" opened in southern Israel's Negev desert to house illegals crossing the nearby Egyptian border and for immigrants already in the country deemed to have disturbed public order.
The moves triggered protest marches by migrants, including inmates who are allowed out during the day but locked in at night, but Sunday's was the largest demonstration by far.
Israel says that there are close to 60,000 illegal immigrants from Africa in the country and that they pose a threat to the state's Jewish character.
Along with arrests and deportations, Israel has also built a high-tech fence along the border with Egypt's barren Sinai, the main point of clandestine entry.
Many migrants live in poor southern neighbourhoods of Tel Aviv where violent race riots erupted in 2012.
Anti-migrant protesters there were addressed by MPs from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party, including hardliner Miri Regev, who at the time called the Africans "a cancer in our body".

They should herd up those uncircumcised ape infiltrators and send them back to the jungle while they have the chance. Judea is for the Hebrews. Monkey World is for blacks.

Its fine for Europeans to whine about shit, but I expect a higher standard of behavior and personal responsibility from Jews. First of all, if no one was employing them, they would not come. If people boycotted businesses that employed them, there would not be an issue. Secondly, if they are already there, how about letting them know they can be subsidized to live in settlement territory? Thirdly, they are not giving anyone cancer, just HIV. On a side-note, non-Muslim Ethiopians are pretty awesome and should be encouraged anyway.

In the labels stand: illegal immigrants, Israel and Jewish hypocrisy. OK! Let me start with Jewish hypocrisy, by giving strait answers that many would not like!. First of all, I have to admit that the state of Israel, is a state of fools!!!. I fail to understand how could the infiltrators cross the Egyptian border? Peace with Egypt is a fake. The chance Muslim fundamentalists will cross the border, from Sinai, in order to commit mega terror attacks is there around the clock. It has always been since 1948. Every military guideline to patrol soldiers, moving in hostile area, orders to shoot at a suspicious movement. Locate, lock and load. Units of volunteers, armed up to their teeth are patrolling the area along the Rio Grande river between USA and Mexico. They have no problems with shooting. The border along the Rio Grande is less dangerous as the border between Israel and Egypt.
Israel had had to send the ‘infiltrators’ directly back over the border to Egypt and not let them enter the country. Experience with African and Muslim refugees is everywhere extremely bad. Apart from health hazard they form for locals in other geographical area’s (tropical diseases, HIV etc.) ) the African niggers behave themselves like baboons everywhere they arrive. The ones who are flying to Scandinavia are opening the fly of their trousers already in the air. They make themselves ready to rape the first woman they encounter on the ground. The State of Minnesota had made a terrible mistake by harbouring thousands of Somali’s in Minneapolis. They had in short time achieved to turn a nice city into a filthy hood. As a gratitude for the local Americans, lot of them belong to the fan club of Al Quida. In Israel the Africans had caused not only troubles, but they had become dangerous to the people living near them; especially in the southen poor neighbourhoods of Tel Aviv. Human Rights activists are everywhere the same. After the demonstration they return to their well to do homes, in white neighbourhoods and let the less lucky ones, keep on living in the ‘Dreck!.
The answer to "Yes to freedom, no to prison!" had to be “Shoot first and ask questions later”.
