Tel Aviv's Mayor against thousands of illegal Africans in Tel Aviv

From yesterday's Israeli newspaper MA'ARIV

Tel Aviv's Mayor Ron Chulda'i is asking Netanyahu to act now, as thousands of illegal Africans keep on flooding the city's southern neighbourhoods. 

More than 51,00 illegale Africans live in Israel. The majority comes from Sudan and Eritrea. In 2010, 14,741 Africans infiltrated into Israel. In 2011, so far, 13,600 Africans succeeded in crossing the border from Egypt.

Those of you following this blog on a regular basis know that I keep on writing about thousands of illegal Africans infiltrating into Israel. It is high time that our Mayor Ron Chulda’i is starting to act and he now demands from Netanyahu a nationwide congress where the problem has to be discussed and a solution to be found. It cannot be that, every month, thousands of Africans continue streaming into Israel.

Tel Aviv (also Eilat, Bnei Brak, Arad, Ashdod and now Ramat Gan) is flooded with Africans and the Jewish population is fed up. Especially those inhabitants living in the southern neighbourhoods. The Africans have become more violent and many of them work as drugdealers or run prostitution networks. Sudanese tribes fight each other and even the Philippino foreign workers are afraid to go out at night. No Israeli should walk around the Central Bus Station after midnight where African thieves and drug addicts take over the entire area at night. 

Every morning, the Africans gather at the Levinsky Park across the Central Bus Station and wait for Israelis passing and offering them odd jobs. I went through the park yesterday and Africans don't like their pictures be taken, as I could be from the immigration police. This is the reason why some of my photos didn't come out too well.

The playground at the Levinsky Park in African hands
 

On Sunday, 11 December 2011, Israel's right - wingers together with the inhabitants of Tel Aviv are planning a demonstration. Where ? At 6pm at the Levinsky Park. For the past three years, the city has been flooded with Africans and this is why Knesset member Michael Ben Ari and further MKs are participating in the demonstration. All Africans should be deported immediately, as they have no right staying in Israel.

Rothschild Boulevard almost free of Tents

B”H 

There are still a few tents left at Rothschild Boulevard in Tel Aviv. The demostration against high rents and unaffordable costs of living has not yet died. Those people who are really homeless and without money keep on staying although most tents have disappeared. The seven heads of the protest, however, have left long ago and try managing their own little resistance. Together with their left - wing organizers and supporters. 

Just recently, those seven invited Tel Aviv's Mayor Ron Chulda’i to an open discussion. The Mayor showed up but as soon as he entered, the protestors called him by some bad names and told him to leave. Chulda'i left but told the press that he is not offended, as there is not real head of the protest to talk to.

Hopefully the Municipality will provide some shelter for the homeless staying at Rothschild Boulevard. 

What's left ? African workers cleaning up Rothschild Boulevard.

Jerusalem is celebrating its “Light Festival” but a great and also traditional event is going to take place in Tel Aviv on 30 June 2011 (Thursday): The “LAILA LAVAN – WHITE NIGHT” with its art, cultural events and anything you can imagine.

 Maps are available as soon as you get to the first stop. The events are spread all over the city and most of them are free of charge. Some artists, as famous pop singers, may charge entrance fee.
