For over an hour, Kfar Manda became a battle zone between the residents and the illegal African migrants, and the Israeli police had to intervene with force, — including the use of tear gas. The Kfar Manda Arabs decided that they “had enough” of the Sudanese and decided to evict them all using bats, rocks and knives. The Israeli police intervention prevented bloodshed, yet the police decided for the Sudanese protection to evict all of them from the village. (anwrs.net, rotter.net)
Here are some pictures after the rumble, the eviction of the illegal Sudanese, and a video of the police trying to clean up the mess.
The question is – how will Israeli leftists spin this story? They must sympathize with the Illegal Sudanese migrants because after all – they are illegal. Yet its unethical to blame Israeli Arabs for their behaviour…
In fact, Haaretz is so embarrassed by the scenario they don’t even have the report on their English edition website, only in Hebrew. Yet even in Hebrew, they try to soften the blow by headlining the article “Due to altercation, 100 Sudanese leave Kfar Manda.” (Nothing about the eviction by the police).
I feel bad for the Israeli Arabs. They have it tough enough as is without having to worry about the illegal African migrants occupying their town as well.

I guess violence works if you are right or wrong force wins.
The Arabs could not call the police like everyday people and ask them to tell the Africans to be quite?
How do the Israeli Arabs think THEY got there — Just like the African immigrants, they immigrated to Israel because of the prosperity the Jews brought to the land.
I feel for the illegal immigrants, but they have to understand that, when jobs and housing are scarce, they have to be sent back home. We're sorry, but we do have to care for our own citizens and legal foreign residents before we can care for others. As Jews, I believe that it behooves us to return them home in a humane manner. In order to do so, we must finance the charter planes and transit through Egypt with heavy fines on the businesses which hire illegal workers -especially when some parts of our population, such as new legal immigrants, suffer from high unemployment.
