Stop excusing the ‘have-nots’ for racism and violence
The riots in South Tel Aviv are further evidence of the violent racism among Israel’s Sephardi underclass. It’s part of a worldwide, historic phenomenon among poor people that the left doesn’t want to face up to. As a matter of principle, I think Israel has to relocate the great majority of African refugees from South Tel Aviv’s poor…

How I survived a Tel Aviv mob attack
Last night I had to flee a raging mob not too far from my home in south Tel Aviv. After long speeches of incitement by right-wing parliamentarians, the masses stormed after me and a fellow journalist, and then turned on African asylum seekers, their businesses and their homes. This is how it happened. It started…
