Israeli public opinion turns against Sudanese migrants

Hundreds of Israelis took to the streets in south Tel Aviv on Thursday to protest against the mass migration from Sudan as a result of the strife in the African nation. Some Israelis now want the government to tighten the rules on immigration, and to even send the migrants back home. Tensions have been building for months as migrants are blamed for an increase in burglary and crime. The protesters shouted "Sudanese go home" - a reference to the thousands of Sudanese who have travelled through Egypt to Israel. Many were smuggled into the country via the Sinai Peninsula. Israeli politicians are now responding to this fear and anger, with the interior minister trying to push a mass-expulsion order through the courts. Al Jazeera's Sue Turton reports from Tel Aviv.

Iran vs. Israel - Back to the Future

Share this video and support Israel's right to defend and protect! NEVER AGAIN will Israel depend on the help of other countries for our survival. Israel must always protect the future of the Jewish People. Israel is facing unprecedented danger, threatened by the president of Iran who has publically called for the death of every Jew and Christian and the destruction of Israel, America and the West. He has built intercontinental ballistic missiles to carry a nuclear warhead and is now moving his nuclear facilities under ground. He is a breath away from a nuclear bomb. As arguably the oldest nation in the world, we must learn from our history to ensure and direct our future. We are reliving the year 1939, but the Jewish People today are not the Jewish People of 1939, or 1944. The Jewish People of the last 2000 years have been resurrected as the Nation of Israel in our homeland. God has shined His face upon Israel once again and we are finally free. The Jewish People did not return to Israel after 2000 years to now rely on Washington or the UN. Israel must never depend on the help of any other country for its survival.

Pat Buchanan: 300 nukes in Israel yet Iran a threat?

Islamic wars have brought questionable benefit to the US over the last 20 years, former US presidential advisor Pat Buchanan, author of Suicide of a Superpower, shared with RT. A new war in the Middle East will be a disaster for the US and for the world economy, he says. "I opposed the Desert Storm operation in 1991 cleaning Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait because, I said, 'This would only be the first Arab-American war.'" Looking at the number of conflicts in the Islam world that America is taking part in now, one cannot but admit that Buchanan was right 20 years ago. "You cannot replicate the Middle West in the Middle East," Pat Buchanan concluded. From the time of the Cold War the US has military bases all over the world. Today, running a budget deficit of 10 per cent of its GDP, America simply cannot afford to continue "to carry this enormous burden, defending 40 or 50 countries around the world," Buchanan says, "We have to bring troops home." Getting rid of these bases essentially means dismantling the American Empire to help the US survive beyond 2025. America's crusade under the banner of ending tyranny in the world is "utterly utopian". RT on Twitter twitter.com RT on Facebook www.facebook.com
