A screaming mob of whites gathers in a public square, their placards proclaiming their hatred of blacks, their shouts of "N—-r!" reverberating and bouncing off the walls of nearby shops and homes like the ominous thunder of a coming storm. They loot shops that cater to blacks, and a prominent elected official is at the head of the mob, declaring that blacks are "a cancer" that must be eradicated.
Mississippi in the Sixties? A neo-Nazi rally? A Klan conclave?
No, it’s a recent scene in southern Tel Aviv, Israel, where Likud member of the Knesset Miri Regev – a former IDF spokesperson and prominent political figure – led a well-organized march of ultra-nationalists demanding the expulsion of all blacks from Israel. Just look at the ugliness of these people – listen to them screaming "White Power"! And here are the Jewish Hitlers, proclaiming their desire to set up a "Jewish monarchy." A few extremists? No. Israel’s Interior Minister has pledged to ship all blacks back to Africa, and the issue of the African refugees has become the major issue in Israel’s election campaign.
Rising ultra-nationalist star Naftali Bennett, of the religious fundamentalist "Jewish Home" party, is demanding their immediate expulsion in order to preserve the "purity" of the Jewish state. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, for his part, has pledged to get rid of the Africans in short order, and ordered the construction of a "security fence" bordering the Sinai, where most of the refugees turn up seeking asylum from Africa’s wars.
They come from Sudan, Eritrea, and Ethiopia, for the most part, victims of the constant conflict that has made East Africa a bloody battlefield for many years. As Israel has made a concerted effort to boost arms sales to African nations, including Ethiopia, where many of the refugees come from, the influx can be seen as blowback – otherwise known as karma.
Israel has a longstanding military connection to Ethiopia: ever since the 1970s, when the genocidal Derg took power in Addis Ababa, Israel has been intimately involved with the Ethiopian military, providing training, weapons, advanced aircraft, and direct subsidies, which the government used to battle regional insurgents. The main target was the Eritrean People’s Liberation Front (EPLF), which fought a bitter 30-year war of independence against the Ethiopians. Israel’s main interest in this, aside from the arms sales, was to secure control over Eritrea’s strategically important Red Sea shoreline. In 1991, Eritrea finally won its independence, yet there was but a short breather before the two sides started up again. The Israeli arms pipeline has fueled the conflict, along with generous US aid to the late Ethiopian tyrant Meles Zenawi, so beloved by Susan Rice.
There are 20,000 of these "infiltrators," as the anti-African demagogues call them, and that they have showed up on Israel’s doorstep is not just karmic, is it also geographic: Israel is the closest country with any promise of providing them with work, and they are often invited in by Israeli employers, who cannot find enough people to do menial jobs. Israel’s growing ultra-nationalist movement finds in them a convenient target, and a politically promising issue. Violence against the refugees is on the upswing: last year, 20-year-old Haim Mula was arrested for firebombing an orphanage for very young African children: he got off practically scot-free with a three-month plea bargained sentence.
Far from being considered a criminal and a pariah, young Haim might well run for the Knesset – because he has the Israeli people with him, particularly the young people who are flocking to the banner of "Jewish Home."
This is what is so disturbing about recent events in Israel, where outright anti-Arab racism has long been tolerated and even encouraged by the government and religious authorities. Instead of denouncing and isolating the anti-black hate-mongers, Israel’s elites are defending and succoring them. A recent declaration initiated by Professor Rafael Medoff, director of the David S. Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies in Washington, D.C., and Professor Yehuda Bauer of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, calls for "a world solution for a world problem."
In other words: it’s not our problem. Medoff says other countries "have more room, and they have more resources. Israel has been taking a beating in the international press for how it treats the refugees, but never has there been any suggestion in these reports that maybe other countries should be lending a hand."
Gee, that’s funny, but the US has never asked for help from other countries in dealing with the millions of political and economic refugees who have sought asylum and work here. Neither have the small European countries which today find themselves playing host to numerous migrants from less fortunate areas of the world. Perhaps because to do so would be in somewhat dubious taste – but apparently such considerations don’t come into play where Israel’s professional apologists are concerned. And naturally we do not hear one word out of their mouths about the orgy of hate the African presence in Israel has aroused – not only do they not condemn it, they don’t even mention it.
To top it off, Messrs Medoff and Bauer have named their initiative, which takes the form of a petition to the world’s governments, "The Evian Declaration," timing it to "coincide with the 75th anniversary of the Evian conference, when nations around the world turned their back on Europe’s Jewish refugees," as Ha’aretz put it.
The Evian Conference was called in the summer of 1938, as Hitler’s assault on the Jews took on horrific dimensions and they tried desperately to flee. While the conference did little to provide these refugees with realistic options, US and British immigration quotas were somewhat relaxed, with some others following suit (the Dominican Republic offered to take 100,000, but only 800 actually went). However, the refugee problem was on such a large scale that this hardly made a dent.
For Medoff and Bauer to invoke the Evian episode in this context simply underscores the tone-deafness of Israel’s apologists: by effectively saying it is "everyone’s problem" – and no one’s – they are merely replicating the tragedy of that affair.
Israel was itself conceived as a home for the homeless, a refuge for those who had been refugees in their own lands and driven into exile by war and the world’s animus. How they can now turn around and say "Not our problem" defies explanation. That they dare to say it out loud is proof – if more were needed – that Israeli society has gone more than a little crazy.
After all, these two distinguished professors are liberals – they aren’t joining the neo-Kahanists in the streets, firebombing orphanages and calling for "N—–s Out!" They are merely trying to cover for them, to make the world avert its eyes as hate explodes like a ripe boil on the Israeli body politic, exuding its poisons into the organs the Jewish state.
It’s the world’s problem? No, it isn’t. The hate that is erupting in the Jewish state is a Jewish problem, one that has yet to be acknowledged, let alone confronted, by Jewish leaders worldwide. I have not heard a single word about this from the so-called "Anti-Defamation League," and its usually vociferous chief honcho, Abe Foxman, who seems to have an opinion about anything and everything, but is strangely silent on the defamation of Africans in Israel. As blacks in Israel find themselves beset by racist mobs, where is the American Jewish Committee, and all the other organizations that were important allies of the early black civil rights movement in this country – where are they now that the Bull Connors and the George Wallaces are Israeli?
They’re too busy trying to scuttle the nomination of Chuck Hagel to head up the Department of Defense to bother with speaking to the deepest values of the Jewish people and speaking out against a monstrous injustice. They’re too busy retailing the most contemptible smears against a patriotic American, who refuses to kowtow to a powerful lobby, to even acknowledge that crimes are being committed in their name and with our tax dollars. Even as I write this, detention camps – camps! – are being built with US "foreign aid" taxpayer dollars to house the "infiltrators" so they can be shipped back to Africa, often to a certain death.
It sickens me to write this. To gaze on an hypocrisy so immense, so brazen, so antithetical to everything the Jewish people have stood for historically, and to say nothing – the enormity of this kind of betrayal is simply breathtaking.
I have just one thing to say to Abe Foxman, and all the self-appointed Jewish "leaders" who arrogate to themselves the prerogative of vetting US government officials – when are you going to start vetting Israeli government officials as they whip up racist hysteria and carry out an anti-African pogrom?
I can answer this question for myself, because the answer is: never. It isn’t considered kosher to air the Jewish state’s dirty laundry in public. There is a big problem with this strategy, however: sooner or later the stench gets so bad that one can’t help but smell it.
Of course the precedent for all this is the virulent anti-Arab racism now pervasive in Israeli society, as a recent survey showed. To take just one rather vivid example: the Beitar football team has become a rallying point for swarming ultra-nationalist thugs, who beat up Israeli Arabs and engage in regular provocations against anyone deemed "alien" to the Jewish character of the state. In March of last year hundreds of them went on a rampage at a shopping mall in Jerusalem, beating Arab men, women, and children, and destroying Arab stores. Not a single arrest was made, nor was anybody charged. It’s open season on non-Jews in Israel, and no one should be surprised that blacks are now the target.
Once the American people wake up to what is going on, the much-touted support for Israel claimed by its partisans in this country will evaporate. That’s one reason why these same Jewish mis-"leaders" who are staying silent about the anti-African campaign are now voicing their "concern" that Al Jazeera, the Arab-based television network, will take over the niche once occupied by Al Gore’s "Current TV." The Arab network has been regularly exposing the rising tide of anti-African hate now at the epicenter of Israeli politics, as well as more familiar depredations aimed at the Palestinians. The last thing the Israel lobby wants is footage of the Israeli equivalent of the KKK on American national television.
How will members of the congressional Black Caucus justify voting for billions in aid to Israel in the face of live news reports of howling Israeli mobs screaming hatred for Africans? Can the country that elected Barack Obama continue to have a "special relationship" with a nation that has turned into the Middle East equivalent of Klan Kountry? I think not.
The fatal blow to the Jewish state, however, will be the rupturing of its relationship with American Jewry, which, in spite of the vociferous dissent of some noisome neoconservatives, has a long tradition of liberalism. This noble legacy of tolerance and support for the underdog is now coming into open conflict with the newer tradition of unconditional support to the Israeli government of the moment – and, by their silence, the leaders of major Jewish organizations hope the problem will be swept under the rug, and somehow go away.
This is a very big mistake. Israeli society is going over a cliff, and the Jewish state’s political class is hastening rather than impeding the slide into a moral abyss. There is no way to cover up this crisis, because it has very visible political – and human – consequences. We are seeing this being played out in the Israeli election campaign, where the crazies are gaining momentum and sanity is in very short supply.
How many young American and European Jews will want to make aliyah to a country where blacks are demonized as disease-ridden criminals and automatically deported? How many Jews will want to express their solidarity with a Jewish state where racism is acceptable and the bullied have turned into the bullies? My guess: not many.

The worst pogrom in prewar Nazi Germany was Kristalnight in the fall of 1938. About 100 were killed in riots, stores were burned and many were beat up and arrested. The whole world was agast. The Israeli's have been doing similar racist acts for over 60 years and get very little negative press. If any American state or local government did anything close to this there would be Federal marshalls and troops roaming the streets and all Federal funding would be cut off. Israel has been given hundreds of billions to do things that Hitler would not do until he had the cover of war. As for the black caucus, is there a bigger bunch of sellouts anywhere, including Obama?
Fantastic piece, Mr. Raimondo! Thanks for making me aware of this further enormity by America's horrifying little brutal "ally."
Of course we know Israel isn't "becoming" a Klan country, it's been one for a good long time.
A note on terminology. The proper term for "Israel" is the Apartheid Jewish State – to indicate its systematic mistreatment of Arabs. President Carter brought the term "Apartheid" into popular discourse with the title of his book, "Palestine, Peace Not Apartheid." It should be used on all occasions because it keeps the ugly truth before our eyes.
But, what of the American Radical Fundamentalist Christians that support the Likud Party? Sadly, many will probably support this anti-black sentiment as it will fit with their own latent racist tendencies.
Thank you for article,but why you know what everyone would have to know and the majority don't see this:the hypocrisy of the racist Israel which lecture about the racism of others.Yes,is easy to see Israeli racism because everything which comes from there is imbued with this.You can't find an article (not to speak about the talkback) in which the racism is not overflow from Bibi with his questions about the fanatic character of the mullaha and and their fanatic test to suicide until Peres with his constant mention of Jewish genius and so on until the last journalist.I recommend to read an article about Hneen Zuabi ,the Parliament member in Haaretz from Friday.
Mark,
You are right about this except that it is not the "Radical" Fundamentalist Christians, that support the Likud Party – basically ALL Fundamentalist Christians support the Likud Party. Support of Zionist Israel is the backbone and virtually the "essence" of the fundamentalist Christian movement. They are Old Testament "Christians" – without a tolerant bone in their bodies.
"One land for one people" is simply unsustainable in our perforce multicultural world; for better or worse, we must learn to live with each other, accept differences, and find common ground. Israel literally is building a wall around itself to maintain ridiculously ethnocentric Zionist dictates. The more it does so, the more racist and apartheid it becomes. We'd do best to separate ourselves from this troubled and troubling bully of the Levant.
Where are the scores of holocaust survivors coming to the side of the "lower races." Where are the afromanic American Jews?
so you're telling me a bunch of people who consider themselves "god's chosen" and above everyone else would engage in racism and intolerance? that a whole nation founded on apartheid is intolerant? stop talking crazy raimondo.
looks like the lunatic zionists have figured if they couldn't actually beat the nazis they'd join em. nice that. i suspect there is no word for "irony" in hebrew.
Minor typo: End of fourth paragraph, "refugees" instead of "refuges."
What is missing now after the walling as one joked, is a concrete roof above.
Oh, but don't you see? The Israelis are always humane in their racism. It never gets out of hand unless someone fights back. That's when the victim crouch must be assumed and the long list of "unprovoked" offenses is presented. I wonder if the Israelis in this instance even distinguish between black-skinned Jews from East Africa and the others. Some of the people from the Russian steppes like to pretend that the claims to Jewishness of these people, against all odds, are somehow less than theirs. "The case can be made against" is undoubtedly a phrase that comes up a lot as they debunk others claims, finding the loopholes for their own and against the others. The question is, even if some of their best friends are African Jews, would they let their daughter marry one of them?
Sounds like they are crossing a line: We all know it's common for the Supremos in Israel to discriminate against Arabs; it is practically enshrined in their Non-stitution…Americans are cool with it because we do it here (I do not endorse the War on Islam)…but discrimination against black Africans? Nuh-uh. If Obama look the other way regarding this, he is making a huge mistake.
The Walls of Talmudia are crumbling and a few good kicks can send the whole edifice crashing down.
Now is the time.
As Lenin said: ' The worse the better.'
And Don Meredith of football broadcast fame: 'The party's over'
You do understand that the "immigrants" referred to in this article have illegally entered Israel, don't you? Doesn't the United States repatriate illegal immigrants, also? Since when is it racist to require that those who enter a country illegally be deported?
Quite a stretch, if you ask me.
The only purpose of Israel in Ethiopia is to secure the head waters of the Nile. Ethiopia provides a land base to secure the land that the head waters flow. The drought is much worse than anyone realized which makes the securing of water more important. Israel had plenty of water especially after stealing all the land in 1967 but being out of control people the entire nation of Israel wasted the water they had.
Israel from before the revolution was a for white only group as recored in the following:
Moshe Sharett was the second prime minister of Israel:
While speaking to the Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Vishinsky in the early 1950s , Moshe Sharett expressed interests in receiving Eastern European Jewish immigrants over Moroccan Arab Jews. In his opinion "the Jews of Eastern Europe are the salt of the earth" who should take precedence over other Jews in immigrating to the "Jewish state", he said:
"There are countries—and I was referring to North Africa— from which not all Jews need to emigrate. It is not so much of quantity as of quality
Right, Zionists (invaders who conquered/stole the Palestinians homeland, ethnically cleansed the bulk of them from it, and went on to occupy the remaining parcel of the Palestinians homeland) referring to immigrants as illegal, this is beyond rich!
Those who live in glass houses does not even begin to cover their/your hypocrisy!
Thank you for letting me know!
Joel; I don't know all the details. Make no claim to being correct. But when I read "…ship all blacks back to Africa…", I want to know if that includes those of the much ballyhooed 'rapatriation of Ethiopian Jewry' that took place in the 80s. Remember all those airlifts that Israel made sure were extensively covered by the MSM?
Just asking. I don't have an axe to grind. But if those former 'refugees' are to be among these given the boot it demonstrates the perpetual treachery of The State.
Richard,
As one who considers himself Born Again(after nearly 30 years atheist) I wouldn't say ALL Fundamentalist Christians. I've been attending a Southern Baptist church for about a year now(after leaving other churches due to their militarist mindset) and there is a significant segment of those that do not support All Things Israel. Many are not pleased with the direction some of their fellow church goers are taking, specifically using Old Testament rationalizations for some very un-Christ-like actions. What is troubling is what some of the new Modern churches are doing(the ones with rock bands and such) is even more militaristic than some old line Fundamentalist. I left one church last Easter when the preacher asked the congregation to stand and pray in the name of Jesus for the American military to "kill the enemy"…I stood and walked out.
My point being, don't think it's just Fundies that are part of the problem, I think it's "Radicals"
He was channeling Willie… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KFPyh-CQ60
actually pretty ironic lyrics in light of Israel
I second you Mark. "Fundamentalist Christians" are as varied as any other group. The congregations that I have had dealing with-small, mixed race, emphasis on fellowship tend to be non-political. They do not lock step support US policy in the Middle East. The large mega church groups may be different; more reflexively unable to criticize Israel.
If Obama look the other way regarding this, he is making a huge mistake.
If nothing else, it will serve as further evidence of what a faceless, spineless hypocrite he is. Not that we need any more such proof.
The Idiot Fundies worship Israel as a god all itself. I know, I've lived with such morons before. In their ignorant, brainless eyes Israel can do absolutely no wrong what soever and to question it is to be "against the Bible" or some such shit. It's so completely laughable and stupid as to be completely pathetic! I guess some people should not bother reading the Bible since it seems to lower some people's IQ points by about 50-70. I mean why bother, they don't get anything out of it but superstitions that they imprint onto its pages.
Sorry but most of the ones I know are useless morons and think Israel is God itself. I know, I've lived with them. There is no brain in their head whatsoever.
Maybe you need to introduce yourself to some more. I would recommend Highway to Heaven Apostolic Church on Lancaster Avenue on Phiiadelphia. God Bless you.
"There is no brain in their head whatsoever"
I think that can be said of some followers of all religions and political parties. They make quite nice cult members, too. Sorry some followers of The Prince of Peace have let you down, don't let that spoil you on what Christ has to offer.
Needle in a haystack over here.
Yes of course. But other religions aren't demanding we worship one particular country and fight there battles for them no matter the blow back against us. I don't appreciate having my tax dollars (i.e., stolen money) going to some foreign country that has has a powerful lobby group in The Imperial City. One that can have us go to war on their behalf while giving them MY hard earned wage.
Don't know about you but having my wages stolen from me and this same government murder people in my name at the behest of some other country because some Fiundy says we must or God will curse us is not only eye-rolling and idiotic but evil.
I don't have a problem with Christ only the Israel worshiping idiot Fundies.
"Once the American people wake up to what is going on…" Americans by and large know about the depredations of their government and they couldn't care less. I read the comments of the mainstream in Yahoo for example and lots of blogs regarding the murdering machine their armed forces have become, and rather than sorry most of them seem to be proud of it. In the end, like any other rabble in the world, give them bread and circus and they will follow you down the cliff.
Thus saith Justin: The last thing the Israel lobby wants is footage of the Israeli equivalent of the KKK on American national television.
I doubt if they have much to worry about on that score. Ratings for the Watermelon Channel (a.k.a. Current TV) were the equivalent of a wart on a flea. They won't improve after Al-Jazeera takes over. In fact, if the Lobby hadn't pitched such a fit over the deal I doubt if more than .01% of the US population would have even noticed.
IMHO by coughing up $500M AJ overpaid big-time for Current (though not quite as badly as the guy who paid $1 for Newsweek awhile back) and Gore will be laughing all the way to the bank.
Easy harmlesstree, Joelsk must be a Paleocon. The word "immigration" attracts paloes like taxes draws liberals.
When the black Jews were threatened in Ethopia , The Israel government flew planes in to rescue them . When the black Christians come under the same Islamic threat . What Christian country has flowen in planes to rescued them ?
Fundamental Christians support Israel more than Jews support Isreal , even more than Israeli Jews support Israel .There is not such a thing as Old testiment Christians , unless you call Jews old testiment Christians , which they are not .
Eric, Peter Christs Disciple took Christian Gentiles into Synagogues after the death of Jesus, he considered those who believed in Christ to be Jews, of course the Jews didnt like that idea, a historic fact for you, on the Christian Fundamentalists their only interest in Jews is that they believe Israel has to be destroyed before the Messiah can return sans 144,000, 12,000 from each of the Twelve tribes!
The Fundamentalists are only interested in the return of the Messiah and what ever they can fo to hasten that to happen, destruction of Israel is actually their goal!
As opposed to Americans, who were invited in by the natives who populated their country, right, harmlesstree?
Are you saying that any country where the majority ethnic population has not always been the majority has no right to border control? Because that wouldn't affect just Israel.
No, it doesn't include that. The author took a lot of creative license with his translations; what was actually said was "illegals out." Meaning, illegal entrants from Africa, not African citizens of Israel or residents with refugee status.
In reading the Old Testament it is a never ending series of events where the Israelites violate God's law and pay a price. I think the current state of Israel is on a similar path. If you read the books of Judges and Hosea for example you see them worshiping false gods and depending on "other nations" for protection. Today that could very well be seeing the "Promised Land" as a thing that they value above God. And the "other nation" thing, sheesh, and you say U.S of A???
"Israel’s Interior Minister has pledged to ship all blacks back to Africa"
That's a blatant lie. The Interior Minister pledged to ship illegal entrants back to their home countries. That includes thousands of citizens of eastern Europe and the Philippines; it does not include hundreds of thousands of Ethiopian Jews, Falashmura, Black Hebrews, and other black Israeli citizens and refugees. It also does not include African illegal entrants with "refugee" status.
" 20-year-old Haim Mula was arrested for firebombing an orphanage for very young African children: he got off practically scot-free with a three-month plea bargained sentence."
Nice trick, there – you'd have to read a few times to realize what was missing… namely, Haim Mula was arrested for firebombing, but was he convicted? The answer is no – he was convicted only of producing firebombs, but the prosecution couldn't find proof he committed the attack itself. Hence the light sentence.
Glad to hear that all Christian Fundamentalists are not rabid Christian Zionists. Maybe, I have just had the misfortune to have met too many idiots. And I use the word idiot mildly – I had one acquaintance bar me from his home because he had dedicated it as a synagogue and I was "unclean" because of my views of justice for the Palestinians. I left a church in an verbal outrage because the new minister interrupted the adult Sunday School class that I was conducting didn't cheer Joshua's slaughter of the inhabitants of the "Promised Land". He was screaming "God demanded that those evil people be killed just like he demands that the Israelis cleanse his land today of Palestinians". We about had a fistfight right in front of the congregation. That has been my experience.
It wasn't done out of love or concern because they would not be 'pi$$ing" on them now. What you need to understand they are different rules for "certain folk' i.e black people no matter where in the world. One glaring example is why Haiti is still such a mess.
The fundamentalists like Hagee aren't Christians. Sure, they may wave their bibles while wailing JEE-ZUS!!! but Christ said that not everyone who said "Lord, lord!" would be one of his and "By their fruits you would know them." Hagee et al. bear some strange fruit, indeed.
Time for rational Christians to begin calling these people out on their hypocrisy.
I guess he missed the part where Jesus commanded us to love others as He loves them and that includes our enemies.
I can see people such as this chanting "Give us Barabus!" and declaring they have no king other than Caesar.
Those that fail to learn from history…
Wow. I'm guessiing Justin got some stick in the office for that one….
Just the title had me doing a double-take over my morning coffee.
I've not been here for a while, but it's good to see at least you're still doing your job…
I don't agree that once something falls politically (the former Soviet Union, for example) that it necessarily means all cessation of hostility, spying, staged episodes. Also, like the Soviet Union, Israel has nukes. This is a source of immense power, is it not? Although there are similarities, one great difference between the two is that Stalin and others also killed their own citizens (the worship of Stalin didn't last very long after his death), so being well rid of that system is a source of pride in the locals. This is where Israel begins to look more like South Africa, which after apartheid has probably had a lot of white flight. I should imagine that this puts Israel in a sticky position – enough white European Israelis leave, and who will control the weapons?
This particular preacher was a truck dispatcher who got the "call" while watching TV coverage of 9-11. His well-to-do wife bought him a van which he took to New York City to hang out with the firemen and minister to them. He also had a 9-11 mural painted on the side of this van. How our little country church inherited him remains a mystery to me – I think that he had connections. He was ignorant – all he knew was that God Blessed Israel, and that all Muslims were evil.
"Is the Jewish state becoming Klan country?"
Becoming?!
Yes, and the "black Jews" from Ethiopia are now cleaning Israel's toilets and streets.
Israel is an historical anachronism, a blip. International law, morality, demographics and the thrust of 21st century geopolitics are with the Palestinians. Israel is America's number one geopolitical liability, a millstone around our neck, a big piece of doo doo on our shoe that must and will be scraped off. We have no choice. Sooner or later all great nations are forced to act in their own best interests. One state between the River and the Sea is inevitable because both peoples will eventually realize that it will serve their best common interests.
One Zionist Jew told me that the Land of Israel holds the same position in the Jewish religion that Jesus Christ holds in the Christian religion. Weird.
But the article is not about deporting illegal immigrants, it is about racist hatred towards black people. Those doing the chanting cannot know the legal status of the people they are abusing.
