      The protesters were backed by Likud Knesset member Miri Regev who participated in the march and said "the Sudanese were a cancer in our body", Haaretz 's report added.

      Protesters in the Hatikva neighbourhood set trash cans alight, broke some stores window and attacked African migrants who were passing-by. They also attacked an African migrant driving through the area and broke his car's windows.

      Reports suggest the protesters targeted local shops known to have African migrants as customers.

      Another group of demonstrators stopped a shuttle taxi searched for migrant workers among the passengers, while banging on the windows, the newspaper Haaretz reported.

      As a Jew, to me, this is disgusting. I wonder if those who protested and committed the same acts that were committed 70 years ago against my ancestors were wearing SS shirts. Who would have thought that there were neo-Nazis in Israel.

      Armchair, lots of bad things happen in the world. This happened in Tel Aviv. Any particular reason why you posted it in this forum?

      Lots of random stuff falls under the "politics board" umbrella. I guess it could go under brooklyn and beyond, or the lounge, but eh, unless people are really concerned....

      AW probably is eyeing a seat at the United Nations, and believes All Politics is Local.

      For better or worse, the change on Nostrand is going to make the change on Franklin look minor.

      Why shouldn't some Israelis and/or Jews be as racist as the next person? In between hearing the words "shine and schvartze" at family functions and remembering how difficult it was for Falashas to be recognized as Jews - I'd say we have the whole racist and bigotry thing down to the dot on the 'eye'.
