Hundreds of African migrants get into mass brawl, leading to blood-stained streets in Israel
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu threatened to boot illegal aliens residing in Israel amid a bloody weekend of violence and rioting between rival groups in Tel Aviv.
The bloody brawls took place between pro- and anti-government migrants from Eritrea to protest an event organized by the Eritrean Embassy in Tel Aviv. Those individuals are seeking asylum, claiming their lives or liberty is at risk in the country.
According to a bystander, the blue shirts indicated the individuals were against the Eritrean government.

"Where are the police?" another bystander asked, according to a video of the incident.
About 30 police officers were injured — with some estimates as high as 50 — as they tried to squelch the rioting and brawls from hundreds of Eritreans, according to the Associated Press.
Some of the protesters threw rocks at the police, causing law enforcement to use live fire.
"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," the AP reported.

Netanyahu argued that it was hypocritical for the pro-government bloc to claim asylum from their home country. Eritrea is an African country on the Red Sea coast. It shares borders with Ethiopia, Sudan and Djibouti.
Police released a video following the unrest, showing businesses, cars and police vehicles nearly destroyed.
Netanyahu further expressed a threat to send the migrants involved in the violence and property destruction back to Africa.
"We want harsh measures against the rioters, including the immediate deportation of those who took part," Netanyahu said.
Dozens of migrants were reportedly injured in the clash with police.

There are more videos, but I think everyone gets the idea.
Today's lesson: There is a valid reason for having sovereign borders and enforcing the rule of law.
The rioting Eritrean groups clashed in Canada as well - Israel is not the only place. There have been problems in Calgary, Edmonton and Toronto at least...
Why take them?
You're asking me? Ask Trudeau.
They bring problems with them when you let them in
bibi needs to go, to prison...
Not the rioters...
Got it!
tsk, tsk, tsk... that's what happens in apartheid states.
That's what happens in Biden's America....right?
Israel isn't an apartheid state, despite what someone may have sold you.
They are not an apartheid state- but they are not a full fledged Democracy either.

Acting like feral cats
Black people acting up as a seed on Newstalkers. It must be one of the 7 days of the week.
Do black people act up 7 days a week?
On Newstalkers they do.
That isn't what I see,
I do see multiple articles decrying America as racist, though!
America has been racist since the middle of the 17th century. Things are gradually getting better but there is still a long way to go.
Didn't the Spanish start bring African slaves here in the 16th century, or don't those count since they weren't in the 1619 Project?
yeah yeah yeah, we hear about it DAILY.
Some of us are fully capable of recognizing a problem without being entirely consumed by it.
Your entire purpose on Newstalkers seems to be changing the subject and injecting fringe perspectives.
I didn't change the subject, I corrected your comment.
You mean changing the subject like making it about race like the clown did in 5 above?
The "migrant" problem, worldwide, is simple karma. The chickens of colonialism are coming home to roost. Since Israel did not exist as a colonial power, we could say they are collateral damage in these cases.
The world would be a better place if everyone took heed of the saying "what goes around comes around".
Some countries protect their borders much better than we do.
Also, some countries don't provide food, medical care, lodging, and education to illegal aliens or legal aliens.
"Also, some countries don't provide food, medical care, lodging, and education to illegal aliens or legal aliens"
At the expense of tax paying citizens.
"Feed them and they will come.
People will come."
Not really John.
What made some of those places colonies were raw materials and a lack of cultural development.
What now makes some of those places failed states, dictatorships and shit holes is a lack of cultural development.
All the west has to do is enforce their border laws.
Nice job of blaming the victim.
“What now makes some of those places failed states, dictatorships and shit holes is a lack of cultural development.”
Ah, tribalism. Or even the attempts to legislate the elimination of cultural diversity. Or the obscenely offensive obfuscation of fact and truth.
We, meaning all of us, are ignoring our birthright and willingly throwing it all away.
Who is the shithole country? Those that have been continually exploited or those the had it all and through their own misguided efforts may lose it?
And for what?
You forgot the United States started out as a colony!
Marx would say history is the story of the oppressors vs the oppressed.
History is much more complex.
And look how we turned out!
People look for excuses instead of solutions all the time.
I guess we were lucky our founders had some guts and brains.
We were as advanced as those who colonized us, and it was bound to happen.
Not holding countries at least PARTLY responsible for their own status is foolhardy.
Many of those same countries benefitted greatly from colonialism.
One can only imagine how backward some of them would still be without colonialism.
“History is much more complex.”
How so?
From time immemorial, it has been our misfortune to witness those with the resources, those with the power, those with the gunpowder do their duty to god and country to corrupt, confiscate, and conquer civilizations that had existed for centuries.
That is the history, which of course just repeats itself.
Just imagine for a moment had we actually been embracing, empowering, or empathetic.
So, if the colonial master is the same culture, fighting is right. And if the colonial master is of another culture, you can still fight, but the best armed and most disease resistant are therefore better.
Try to imagine what would have happened if we had actually listened to each other, heard the grievances and the praises and worked to advance societies together.
It seems very difficult for those without resources, those out of power, those without gunpowder to effect much including corruption, confiscation, and conquest.
Morning Vic..just let me correct that slightly for you...
America also started out as a convict colony which we then inherited, after you mob kicked the Brits out...
You had approx 50,000 of them running around over there long before Australia was even discovered.
Would indicate that their are alot of criminal minded Brits.... probably that Roman influence
Australia also began as a colony. Good point.
None of that seems close to what I said. Maybe you just want to construct a strawman.
Based on what you post and seed regularly, that is what you were saying, whether you realized it or not.
You said over just this thread:
Looks to me that my synopsis was correct.
Are you going to start singing "White Man's Burden" now?
Why don't you just admit that you think that Western European culture is inherently superior to all of the other cultures that it has come in contact with and had the right, due to that superiority, to subjugate and/or exterminate those who would not accept that view?
Looks like you didn't get it. Looks like you used what you were taught at school [deleted]
I used my lifetime of experiences, including my time at school, to come to that conclusion. So, I do get it very well.
For Eritrea, is the Ethiopia?
Lol. . Everything (at least bad ) is the fault of colonialism, no reason or rationality required. Why are the migrants doing bad things?" It's just a pat answer used to avoid critical thinking, or the cardinal sin of progressive, paternalist racialists, believing that black people have agency.
So, black people have no agency?
of course they do. I’m not a progressive. I think it’s absurd to believe Colonialism forces migrants to riot.
If it’s not the evil white mans fault then we would have to hold the rioters responsible for their actions. And that only applies to white rioters.
Who said colonialism forces migrants to riot?
I said the effects migration has on the erstwhile colonial powers is karma. What goes around comes around. You dont want the bad you do to come back to you ? , then dont do it.
and if they did not allow migration then they would not be having this problem inside their country
If they did not allow migration there would be no Israel.
So you are saying if Israel doesn't allow immigrants, it just disappears?
I don't understand that. Irael is already there
I was being hyperbolic. Israel is approximately 25% migrant population . Lots of countries have immigrants to Isreal, many immigrants to Israel are from the continent of Africa, and this article seems to be about a very, very small subset of those people. Thus the leap to, " Keep the immigrants out! Look what they do !" is an obvious example of the logical fallacy of arguing "from the few to the many." There is more to this disturbance than is being reported, like: Why were the Eritreans all riled up to begin with? They were riled up to the point of violence in many countries recently, meaning that something had to be occurring in Eritrea.
In Calgary, Canada :
Shocker, it is politically motivated violence.
Eritreans protesting goings-on in Eritrea when in another country are wasting their time.
What possible good could come of it?
Except for:
Did you ever consider that colonialism led to improved health conditions that led to overpopulation that caused the want to migrate to better places?
Damn straight.
Deport their sorry asses.
Maybe if those fools invested half the energy and time into improving their own country instead of wreaking havoc in a foreign country there wouldn't be a need to seek asylum.
Kinda hard to sympathize with people that leave their home country for a better life and then do their best to fuck-up the nation they migrated to.
I wasn’t trying to defend anything, sorry for your confusion. I was just pointing out that no one should be surprised that it’s the powerful that have the greater ability to corrupt, confiscate or conquer.
