Timeline: AfriKristallnacht

My Twitter timeline of live-tweeting from May 22, the night before the anti-African pogrom in Tel Aviv, to May 29, a week after the pogrom. Also includes photos, videos and links to articles about the events themselves and the fallout from them.

  1. Israel Minister says Africans "hunt Israelis", are a thorn, a reference to a call for ethnic cleansing: Number 33:50-55 haaretz.co.il/news/education…
  2. Numbers 33:55 If ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then shall those that ye let remain of them be as thorns
  3. How many more Biblical references to ethnically cleanse all non-Jews does Israel's Interior Minister have to make before the world wakes up?
  4. On my way to an anti-African street rally. Hope I come back in one piece.
  5. There's something perverse about a white girl with dreadlocks being part of a rally to expel all non-Jewish African people from Israel
  6. MK Ben Ari arrives to clapping from audience of about 50 people at south TelAviv rally to expel all non-Jewish Africans from Israel
  7. Woman in crowd calls for daughter of Israel Internal Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch to be raped. Police nearby don't seem to mind
  8. After Ben-Ari, next speaker says it is natural for ultra-right to come to power, just as Marie Le Pen rises to power in Western Europe
  9. Next speaker says that almost the greatest threat to the State of Israel comes from Sudan
  10. Crowd of dozens harangued @ygurvitz's girlfriend Galina for half an hour straight, cursing her in every way, including wishing she be raped
  11. Attacked & horked at RT @ShunraCat: In south TLV racist demonstration, @ygurvitz & Galina were physically attacked by thugs
  12. PHOTO: Israelis rally against Africans (words on the shirt: Death to Sudanese) http://pic.twitter.com/7Utp5u3E
  13. Are Israeli politicians ashamed that they incite hatred to the point it's okay to wish rape upon a woman, simply because she is not racist?
  14. Anti-African rally now in front of center that aids refugees. Center recently received threats that workers would be firebombed & raped
  15. Gradually the anti-African demonstrators take over the whole street & bully the few leftists that are present until they leave the area
  16. Any African person that simply walks by is verbally assaulted & told to get the fuck out of the country.
  17. Israeli nationalists protest against Mesila organization, South Tel Aviv, Israel, 22.05.2012
  18. 2 Ethiopian Israeli activists held a conversation with the anti-African horde, did not do anything remotely improper. KKKops arrested them.
  19. As Ethiopian Israelis who calmly, politely challenged the racist horde with words are arrested for nothing, crowd calls for them to be raped
