Published on Oct 19, 2013 (Max) Blumenthal explained how The New York Times commissioned the 11-minute video, but after the paper's editors saw it, refused to publish it: "I was asked to submit something by The New York Times op docs, a new section on the website that published short video documentaries. I am known for short video documentaries about the right wing in the US, and extremism in Israel. They solicited a video from me, and when I didn't produce it in time, they called me for it, saying they wanted it. So I sent them a video I produced with my colleague, David Sheen, an Israeli journalist who is covering the situation of non-Jewish Africans in Israel more extensively than any journalist in the world. We put together some shocking footage of pogroms against African communities in Tel Aviv, and interviews with human rights activists. I thought it was a well-done documentary about a situation very few Americans were familiar with. We included analysis. We tailored it to their style, and of course it was rejected without an explanation after being solicited. I sent it to some other major websites and they have not even responded to me, when they had often solicited articles from me in the past. Blumenthal, author of the bestselling and widely promoted 2009 book Republican Gomorrah, also spoke about the difficulty he has had getting any mainstream media attention for his new book Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel. Just like this video, Blumenthal's new book offers an unflinching look at the racist reality of Israel that America's establishment media simply does not have the guts to confront." ~ Max Blumenthal Israel Cranks Up the PR Machine It's deploying all its resources to fight the growing world movement against the occupation.

How ironic. These words sound so ridiculously wrong in the mouth of them who have been subjected to the worst racism humanity has seen in its whole history. Disgusting at least
They steal the land from palestinians and now call other people as perpetrators. How funny...edit on 23-10-2013 by Telos because: (no reason given)

Why do you think Israel has to let Africans into their country?
I don't think any nation HAS to let people in. Don't nations get to determine their own immigration laws? Are we to impose our morality on them against the will of their own people? It's their country and their decision.
BiBi mentioned building a fence and deporting those who entered his country illegally. I WISH elected officials in US took our national security this seriously. I'm not against immigration but there has to be order. Mobbing in isn't acceptable...at least it shouldn't be.

Pre 1948 Palestine was a wasteland and mostly abandoned. The Palestinians did not lift a finger to better that nation they just let it slide. The Jews have made it the number one fruit producer in the world. They lead the world in many industries and have made it an oasis. The Palestinians did not give a crap about the land before. Now that Israel made it into something nice they want to kill lover it.
I am sick of all this BS about immigration. If you are here illegally you have to go, period, get at the back of the line and do it the right way. Secure the border, the ancient Chinese did it, we can surely build an electric fence. Charge it with thousands of volts and between that and mines, nobody gets in.
Guess what? Israel doesn’t want them….that’s Israel’s right to reject them.
I personally don't care about their immigration laws. These people are seeking refuge from a war torn and ravaged nation. So they walk to where they think they'll be accepted and helped.
I agree that everyone should be treated with dignity and respect. However, it doesn’t matter what Israel’s reason is for rejecting them….it’s Israel’s right to do so and Israel isn’t obligated to explain why.
The treatment they receive from the people in the videos, especially that minute or two from the younger kids, reminds me of the Neo-Nazi movement here in the states. Or even the Nazis in Germany. How they treated the Jews reminds me of how these Jews are treating the Africans. It is purely about the color of their skin. At least, that is how the video portrays a few people.
Booting people out of your country who didn’t enter legally IS acceptable. Treating the illegal’s like trash IS NOT. I’m not justifying Israel beating them, gassing them, torturing them, etc but I don’t see that happening here….do you? To liken the treatment of these Africans to what the Jews went through during WW2 or to proclaim the Israelis are acting like NAZIs is a bit of an overstatement, is it not???
So now that the shoe is on the other foot it is deemed acceptable?
Even by their leaders?
When Israel goes around telling other counties how they should let immigrants in and become more multi cultural then they can practice what they preach.
In your opinion…
A fence is a stupid idea.
We don’t have a fence around our border…that’s the problem.
We have fences on the borders in places now and it doesn't slow them down one bit.
