Israel is now home to some 60,000 migrants from Africa.
While Israel’s terrorism problem is widely covered, its problem with illegal migrants isn’t.
Israel is on the migrant route from Africa to Europe. Many of the migrants who make it to Israel don’t actually leave. Parts of Tel Aviv have been taken over by migrants and gangs who have their own no-go zones.
Why don’t you know about it? Because nobody wants to talk about it. The media generally isn’t interested in covering it except when it occasionally reports on pro-migrant leftist protests and the pro-Israel camp tends to repeat the stuff that the establishment puts out which is ignoring the problem. The people suffering from the massive illegal alien migrant population are the ones living in poorer parts of Tel Aviv.
No one can tell for sure how many illegals reside in the city. No one has taken a census there and no one is likely to come up with any credible statistics. But an entire Tel Aviv neighborhood has essentially been ripped out of the city and commandeered. It has become an extraterritorial entity into which few veteran Israelis meander.
Last month, 67-year-old Esther Galili was brutally beaten to death by an intoxicated Eritrean illegal on Rehov Hagra, around the corner from the home she inhabited for decades. The unprovoked gruesome attack was captured by surveillance cameras. Galili was the last Israeli on her street. All others had fled in panic and even the illegals resident there fear for their lives.
Four other victims were murdered nearby in recent months. Last week the police arrested four Africans on charges of aggravated assault and drug trafficking. The populist tabloids called them “Sudanese refugees,” although bona fide refugees from the Sudan’s Darfur region constitute merely a negligible fraction of Tel Aviv’s migrant sub-Saharan population.
Here’s another similar attack that was captured on video. The situation has been bad for a long time.
Israel is now home to some 60,000 migrants from Africa, most of them Eritrean and Sudanese. The vast majority of them live in south Tel Aviv, specifically in a several-block radius around Tel Aviv’s Central Bus Station and Levinsky Park. As this group has come to south Tel Aviv, however, crime has spiked, with Israel Police reporting earlier this year that in 2012 there was a 53 percent increase in felonies by migrants in the area.
Israel’s new conservative government in part came into office on a promise to finally start deporting the illegals. Unfortunately Israel’s leftist judiciary, especially its Supreme Court, has blocked such efforts. House Democrats also pressured Israel to drop any plan to deport the migrant population.
And this was a government plan to hand the migrants $3,500 and buy them plane tickets.
Now the whole thing has exploded in a way that no one could ignore with riots in the ‘nicer’ part of Tel Aviv. Groups of Eritreans fighting over issues in their home country violently clashed with each other and with police leading to gunfire and serious injuries.
Here’s video.
It got ugly.
Eritreans from both sides faced off with construction lumber, pieces of metal, rocks, and at least one axe, tearing through a neighborhood of south Tel Aviv where many asylum seekers live. Protesters smashed shop windows and police cars, and blood spatter was seen on sidewalks. One government supporter was lying in a puddle of blood in a children’s playground.
Israeli police in riot gear shot tear gas, stun grenades, and live rounds while officers on horseback tried to control the protesters, who broke through barricades and hurled chunks of rocks at the police. Police said officers resorted to live fire when they felt their lives were in danger.
The violence is now impossible to ignore.
Magen David Adom teams treated a total of 114 individuals.
The injuries span across various levels of severity: 8 individuals are in a serious condition, 13 have sustained moderate injuries, 93 have incurred mild injuries.
Of the injured, 30 are police officers. Predominantly, these injuries comprise bruises, many resulting from stones and discarded objects.
The Magen David Adom blood services have been instrumental, supplying hospitals with 130 doses and blood components to streamline the medical care for the injured.
May Golan, a longtime activist from South Tel Aviv against the illegal alien takeover, has placed the blame on the leftist justices of the Supreme Court. As did Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich.
“In the Saturday riots, which were only the promo for what awaits us if we do not return the infiltrators to their countries of origin, there is only one responsible: the High Court. For years we have been warning, for years the High Court has prevented any action that would allow the infiltrators to be returned to their homes. That is precisely why we are leading the reforms in the judicial system that will allow elected officials to make decisions and carry them out for the citizens of Israel, their safety and security,” Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said on Saturday night.
This is why judicial reform is so urgent.
Israel is suffering from the same problems as America, Europe and many other countries. It’s under siege by migrant invaders and domestic pro-leftist protesters.
This parody by Caroline Glick’s Latma from a decade ago perfectly captured leftist hypocrisy on the invaders.

Late last night, I saw where Mr. Netanjahu said he wants deportations.
As Mr. Greenfield noted, this has not been in the news; I knew nothing about this aspect of life in Israel. Overrun by “migrants” like so many other places.
mozlums are out to take over the world…all of it…for their evil and perverted belief system.
David M says
Netanjahu said he is going to deport every single one of them. The globalists won’t like that.
fadeye@yahoo.com says
the leftards are already screeching thar Bibi is ‘racist’, just like the woman in the parody video, lol!
James Lincoln says
No, they won’t David.
Isn’t that a shame…
Chandana Chjowdhury says
Shocking! and so sad that Israel should be suffering this problem of Muslim immigrants! Israel is a tower of strength! I sincerely hope that Israel will deport all these immigrants! Ignore leftists! Leftists are only in this world to create problems! Otherwise, i just hope it doesn’t become like Europe & US too where Islamists are taking over their countries! Once Muslims get the upper hand, that’s the beginning of the end!! I pray for Israel!!
T. A. Shah says
It is not Muslims, but those African black Jews and their progeny who were transported from various African countries by Israeli Govt(s) from time-to-time under US patronage. Let the Israel pay the price now for its misdeeds.
marc says
Rubbish, Ethiopian Jews, or Beta as they are called locally were the only ones invited, and they are well integrated and rarely have been seen to cause trouble in Israel more than any other group.
The rioters are recent (fake) refugees who crossed the boarders illegally and made their claim in Israel, just as they do in other 1st world countries, none would be Jewish, they are Muslim, Christian and Animist.
Where did you see this mad story? It’s not one I have seen before, I am sure it has some anti-zionist agenda.
Shalom says
Thanks Marc for correcting this person. Misinformation is rife.
Kesselman says
Since the establishment of the nation-state (the Westphalian Peace Treaty after the 30 Years War in Europe) the sanctuary of the nation’s border was acknowledged in international co-existence. Following that spirit, it should not be overwhelmingly exaggerated to bar all unwelcomed invaders from defying legal authorities at the border.—Then comes the leftist judiciary thwarting all good intentions.

What percentage of these refugees are Jews? Wouldn’t their being gentile be reason enough to deport them?

There should be judicial recall as advocated byTheodore Roosevelt wherein the people can vote to overturn judicial decisions.
The whole idea of judicial supremacy has always been nonsense. 10-12 people can decide to overturn the will of the people who number in the millions? Thomas Jefferson and other founders were against it. Judges after all don’t make the laws.
I’m America among other examples, the Supreme Court also sanctioned sterilizing people in the first half of the twentieth century, so unless one presents scientific arguments it doesn’t matter what some judge 100 years ago said. I’m daft judicial supremacy should be done away with completely. It was chief Justice John Marshall’s greatest mistake as Jefferson noted. Marshall wanted to give the courts more and equal power with the other branches—which has gone out of control. After all, how can a handful of political animals ie judges make or break laws at their whims? All authority should be in the people ie the Congress. You only really need the Congress. Even the president’s post is questionable as to whether it’s necessary.
just after the Civil War, would-be amenders wanted to call the country simply America, “to indicate the real unity and destiny of the American people as the eventual, paramount power of the hemisphere.” Some wanted to choose presidents by lot from older senators, or abolish the presidency all together since America is about the people not an all-powerful office. The Presidential office was meant to be so weak that it wouldn’t matter who held it and some wanted it abolished all-together. That’s the spirit that spread throughout Europe lighting the fires of liberty that created the modern world. Despite Napoleon declaring himself emperor unlike Washington, the French spread American ideas of liberty the whole world copies today. Americans like Washington descended from very religiously devote, learned men, unlike the wannabe emperors in Europe or Asia.
What the West should do is invade and establish civilization in the third world once and for all. Americans need to start colonizing again—best thing to happen to the world tbh. There’s a reason most of the traffic between them and America/Europe is one-way: even their own citizens can’t stand to live there in the dark ages. In fact in 1893 representative Lucas Miller of Wisconsin proposed amending the constitution to “the United States of Earth” because he said “it is possible for this republic to grow through the admission of new states….until every nation on earth has become apart of it.”
Just cut off welfare and free housing and they’ll stop coming. Only the honest ones will come. That’s what they deserve since they vote socialist. Let them go back and overthrow the failed governments they voted for in Venezuela, Africa, etc. Americans/Israelis owe them exactly zero: quite the opposite they owe America. Europeans/Americans created the modern space age world—the evil white men.
They aren’t qualified to run their own affairs, like children. “White man’s burden” is real with all due respect. America’s duty is to liberate them. They are dying to come to amercia, might as well bring amercia to them.
Poor migrants. Should have been under the aegis of America (or Israel) like Hawaii.
Mexico would have been better off part of America. The north voted against it so the slave states wouldn’t grow stronger. The south blocked adding British Columbia for the same reasons. North Mexicans are ethnically different from the Mayan/Aztec south. The north (El Norte) gets exploited by Mexico City and the South. They all want to be in America anyway; might as well bring America to them. Everything to the tip of Argentina.

Good comment.
Star Child says
Since when is Israel a state of the USA? The USA has no right to tell Israel what to do with its illegal and violent immigrants. Sounds like the USA is trying to undermine and weaken Israel.
