http://www.addictinginfo.org/2014/10/07/video-israelis-chant-nggers-go-home-carrying-isis-style-flags-at-anti-african-rally/Seen in the raw footage, Jewish men yell at an African passersby Go home, go home! Sudanese to Sudan!
African asylum-seekers met the protesters en route and offer them bouquets of roses, but their gestures were aggressively rebuffed and met with the responses,
Curse your name, you garbage.
May you get AIDS, you whore, daughter of a whore.
May you be raped, you maniac!
Youll get raped and get AIDS!
I spit on you, you garbage!
May you be raped, you whore!
Fuck you, motherfucker! Piece of shit!
Chants even ring in English.
Go back to Africa! Go back to Africa!
We hate you as much as we can motherfucker!
Go back to Africa! Go back to Africa!
So I guess Israel is a post-racial society just like us.

Before anyone decides to go on a flamefest on my comment, it might be worth it to know that I have a serious jewish ancestry and have no remorse for my attitude toward these thankless f**ks.
Hell Hath No Fury
(16,327 posts)My roommate is bi-racial, Jewish, and lived in Israel for 10+ years. He says that there is significant racism in Israel towards blacks of any region -- Jews from eastern Europe and Russia and the worst, according to him. It was especially bad when he would date a white woman -- he often got derogatory comments from passerbys. He also said that the Palestinians in Israel were the most welcoming to him.

LeftishBrit
(41,212 posts)Racism and anti-immigrant sentiment are a big problem in most societies, and Israel is no exception; but this sort of vicious extremism is a minority taste. Just as many Brits are anti-immigrant and somewhat racist, but only a minority join hate-groups like the BNP and EDL.
Depressing, of course, that anyone acts like that.

(25,699 posts)Miri Regev called Africans in israel a "cancer." Danny Danon claimed they had "established an enemy state." Michael Ben-Ari called for mass imprisonment. even Kadima got in on the fun, putting up Ronit Tiros who called fpr expulsions.
That night riotors burned shops, smashed cars, assaulted men and women.
all of the politicians still serve in the Knesset. Not even reprimands from their respective parties.
Dunno if Israeli society in general is as anti-black as these guys are - but Israeli society doesn't seem to particularly mind. Just as it didn't really mind open fascists attacking left-wing demonstrators during the latest Gaza turkey-shoot.

(7,321 posts)i don't understand that statement in the context of this discussion.
Forgive me if I'm being dense, but could you clarify or elaborate to help me better understand what your intended meaning is, because taken literally to my reading, I don't see that point being argued anywhere, at anytime..
But perhaps I missed it?

(32,886 posts)There have been issues with this for years.

I'm confused, too.
whathehell
(29,095 posts)It sounds way beyond anything deserving a political designation.
It's just pure racist hate.
2banon
(7,321 posts)I think it's perfectly reasonable for a lot of people here in the U.S.A., as well as members of DU to be taken aback with surprise at the level of racism and bigotry. Hell, a lot of people are just now beginning to recognize that the I/P conflict is largely rooted in racism/bigotry. (please don't lecture me why it can't possibly be racism). It's not as if the M$M here in the U.S. gives any attention to the subject whatsoever.
Not Ever.
So why wouldn't people here in the U.S. be surprised by the bigoted/racists hatred by right wing nationalist who exist in Israel?
But back to your statement which is the point of confusion for me (and others) which you have yet to clarify, is what does "antisemitism" have to do with any of this?

LiberalLovinLug
(14,176 posts)Hell, I'm Canadian, and we have always had a "tolerant" label. Maybe it spans back to the underground railroad, or sheltering Vietnam draft dodgers, or our tradition of peace keeping efforts, Greenpeace etc... But I know that Canada has its fair share of right wing lunatics as well, including our idiotic ignorant PM. Sure he split the vote among our other 3 more liberal parties, but he still got 39% of the vote. And the same is true for every country, whether its Sweden or Burma. The difference is a socially fair constitution, strong anti-hate crime laws and non-biased education...in order to "keep the loonies on the path".
You can see it with Russia where there were large protests against invading Ukraine with signs saying "sorry". But the more liberal part of the population is always fighting against those that value money and power above all else, so it is never a level playing field. The right usually controls most if not all of the news media, police forces, and armed forces.
There will always be a hard core 25% of brain dead frightened chicken little authoritarian types that will vote for the shrillest more fear-mongering fascist candidate. The trick is to keep their numbers down to that manageable number. But its so easy to tip the scales when you have a right wing leader, combined with a monopolized billionaire owned press. All you need to do is convince another 26%. If you legitimize far right extremists by giving them airtime and treating them as equals, while shutting out voices from the left and ridiculing them, you create an atmosphere for that 26% of wanting to go with the "winner". (or biggest whiner)
Spitfire of ATJ
(32,723 posts)If your case he probably ran on a promise to make money rain from above and being anti-French.
LiberalLovinLug
(14,176 posts)Wedge issues is their forte.
He ran on the usual right wing fear mongering, Crime and Punishment (even though the crime rate has been falling for a decade)
Child pornography (In order to get a bill passed that far exceeds what is necessary for that issue and closer to what the NSA is doing in the US) Environmental groups harassed with new laws preventing them from having a "non-profit" status unless they refrain from any "political" statements. (the definition of such defined by Harper). Muzzling government paid scientists to suppress global warming facts.
Tax breaks and dismantling regulations for corporations, and cuts to social spending.
on and on....the usual Con playbook.
But no, no one wanting to be PM here can be perceived as "anti-French" as Quebec has a very large portion of seats in Parliament. But, to make my point, even Quebec has its fair share of righties.
Spitfire of ATJ
(32,723 posts)He couldn't bash the "Mexicans" because they are a large voting block so he went after the Native Americans claiming they were getting a free ride on taxes while making a fortune on casinos.

KamaAina
(78,249 posts)The Ethiopian refugees (falashes) from years ago were from an ancient Jewish sect.
Joke: Jewish girl brings home a falashe to the parents. They exclaim in unison, "He's black!" She replies, "But he's Jewish!"
MADem
(135,425 posts)Those flags have something written on them but I can't see what it is.
The flag of ISIS very plainly misappropriates the image of the Seal of the Prophet--it's a very definite and obvious (mis)representation.
That's like saying the Russian flag is "French - Style" because of the colors...
Whatever they're carrying, those people are sick.
Behind the Aegis
(53,991 posts)The filmmaker is associated with Electronic Intifada, Mondoweiss, and +972. Of course, if you really want to see some irony, go the YouTube version of the video. The other irony, of course, are those acting if these racists fools represent all of Israel...well. not all of Israel...wink, wink. They were exercising their free speech because the government decided not to illegally detain immigrants.
Some of the comments from the video's post:
alphablight18 hours ago (edited)
We should have helped Hitler finish the job
whorebagsss22 hours ago
Fuck you Kikes. Hitler was right.
www.internet-entertain.me
the world would be better off without the jews
DeSean Ford5 hours ago
Maybe Hitler was on to something
Then, there are those who make the same comments as the bigots in the video:
Avi Cohen1 day ago
its not african !! its black satanic muslims !! AND YES WE DO NOT NEED MORE TERRORIST ! they rape kill steal padophiles last week they raped 88 y.0 women !!! and they kill each other they are animals !! as all satanic muslims are !!nothing to do with the fact they are black we have many black jews and they are great !! dont fall im the muslim lies propaganda!
Of course, the greater irony is those making some of the comments above about Jews, would be making the same comments as the racists in the video if the immigrants were coming into their various countries. Those bigoted racists serve a purpose for other bigots, that is the greatest of the ironies here.

(31,907 posts)We would have a bunch of Americans doing this to latino/hispanics. . . Oh wait - we do have that.
It's shameful regardless of who is engaging in this kind of behavior and where it is taking place.
And - I don't believe this is the majority of Israelis who behave in this hateful manner.
