Yesterday an unidentified Israeli man stabbed three African asylum seekers in a Tel Aviv cafe, marking a continuation of violence against migrants that have taken place over the past four months. Since April there has been six arson attacks on refugee residential buildings, and one kindergarten. The last reported attack took place only two weeks ago when a Jerusalem apartment where three Eritreans live, including s pregnant woman, was set aflame.
From +972 Magazine:
At around 11 a.m. this morning (Tuesday), a man entered an internet cafe in the Shapira neighborhood of south Tel Aviv, stabbed three Eritrean asylum seekers who were inside, and fled the scene. One man was reportedly stabbed in his back, another in his knee and the third in his hand. The stabber has not yet been identified but is alleged to be an Israeli male.

After the assault two of the injured migrants were taken to Tel Aviv’s Ichilov hospital, which weeks ago initiated a medical segregation program based on race. However since first locking patients of African origin in a staff locker room where they were forced to undergo blood tests before receiving treatment, the program was taken over by the state and now is applied based on citizenship status, not skin color. Under the new program the asylum seekers will be quarantined and required to undergo x-rays and blood tests before receiving treatment in appropriate care facilities.

A second Israeli who set himself on fire in protest at economic difficulties has died of his injuries, the hospital treating him said on Wednesday.
Is this a Jewish terror attack, and if so, Jewish in an ethnic sense, as in Palestinian terror attack, or Jewish in a religious sense, as in Muslim terror attack?
But I thought Tel Aviv was supposed to be so vibrant, so tolerant?

But it is. This story is about South Tel Aviv a different town entirely. The Ashkenazi’s do not live there, it is the Mizrahi riff raff that do.
What is the relationship like between Mizrahi & Ashkenazim? Is it as bad as the relations between Ashkenazi and the Ethiopian-Israelis?
When a young Palestinian boy (citizen or occupied) throws a stone the police “finds” him in a short time with the certainty of over 95 percent. When Jews burn mosques, destroy olive trees, shoot at Palestinians, write “kill Arabs” graffitis, arson houses where migrants are presently living, stab non-Jews (Pals and migrants) the polices solution percent seems to be under 5 percent. The racist crimes Israeli Jews are carrying out now almost daily are so serious, that the western and Israeli press would get a fit of rage if these acts would be done against Jews in Israel or elsewhere.
What ever happened to “Save Darfur”, which was supposed to showcase Jewish values and compassion. Now it’s “Back to South Sudan with you, infiltrator.”
