In a shocking expose’ by The Nation, the State of Israel has been beating, imprisoning and terrorizing Africans who migrate to Israel in an attempt to escape persecution in their own land. During video proof, Israeli government ministers are seen inciting angry mobs, calling Africans “cancer,” and making it clear how they wish to keep Israel for ISRAELI’S ONLY!
With release of the video “Israel’s New Racism: The Persecution of African Migrants in the Holy Land,” which was produced by Max Blumenthal and David Sheen, Blumenthal explained how The New York Times commissioned the 11-minute video, but refused to publish it once the editor’s viewed 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.

This video is very shocking and a MUST SEE for anyone who is totally unaware of the blatant racism occurring on the other side of the globe. Check out the video for yourself below and as always, please leave your comments and tell us what you think:
"Is the government of Israel and its citizens racist? Does the New York Times not want you to know about it??"
IMO, Yes. and Yes.
Frankly, I long ago came to this conclusion about Israel (its government and most of its citizens) so this latest news doesn't surprise me at all.
Further: I'd say that among the primary reasons American right–wingers (mostly White Supremacists) and Israel have such a strong alliance is because they have A LOT in common beginning with both groups being made up mostly of proud Racists, Bigots, religious extremists and just plain old Haters of the "Others."
The New York Times: Honestly, that paper lost most of its credibility with me when they showed their TRUE colors (if you will) way back during the run-up to the Bush-Cheney War on an innocent nation and its people. Iraq.
