Israel’s New Racism: The Persecution of African Migrants in the Holy Land

Video by Max Blumenthal showing the ugly racism and backlash against African immigrants in Israel face.

Blumenthal has told Democracy Now, regarding his four years of reporting in Israel: “I was most surprised at the banality of the racism and violence that I witnessed and how it’s so widely tolerated because it’s so common….And I’m most surprised that it hasn’t made its way to the American public … that’s why I set out to do this endeavor, this journalistic endeavor, to paint this intimate portrait of Israeli society for Americans who don’t see what it really is.”
