Attack in Tel Aviv: 'Jewish girls do not go out with Blacks!'

Attack in Tel Aviv: 'Jewish girls do not go out with Blacks!': "It is important to understand the context in which these regular racist attacks occur. For the past several years, high-level Israeli politicians have competed with one another to vilify Africans in the most dehumanizing language possible, casting them as diseased, criminals and terrorists. In the last two years, the government has built both a desert fence to prevent any more Africans from crossing Israel's border to seek asylum, and a series of desert jails to indefinitely hold without trial any others who arrive and increasing numbers who are pulled off the streets. In recent months, it has secretly deported thousands of Africans back to the countries they fled from, and is trying to bribe other African nations with arms shipments to convince them to take in all the other non-Jewish Africans living in Israel, 55,000 in number."-Mondoweiss
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The bitter irony is that the State of Israel remains popular in Africa, especially West Africa, and Nigeria in particular. This is in part due to both inter-religious tensions in Africa between Christian and Muslim communities, and the influence of evangelical christianity that promotes Israel as the biblical promised land.
