Anti-Black Race Riot Erupts In Tel Aviv, Israel
Violent race riots that shook south Tel Aviv sparked shock in Israel last Thursday, but also prompted top-level calls for the immediate arrest and expulsion of tens of thousands of African migrants.
The latest unrest to sweep the impoverished neighbourhoods around Tel Aviv’s central bus station erupted when a demonstration of around 1,000 people who were protesting against the rising number of Africans moving into the area, turned violent.
“Shock, violence and hatred of foreigners in Tel Aviv” was the headline in the Maariv daily, which described scenes of chaos as demonstrators went on the rampage with sticks and stones, attacking African-run shops and smashing up a car driven by two African men.
“Blacks out!” shouted demonstrators in the crowd, while others yelled: “Send the Sudanese back to Sudan,” several news reports said, as other protesters derided the “bleeding-heart leftists” working to help them.

Thursday Discussion: Songs For The Graduating Class
Is it that time of year already? If you aren’t yourself, I’m sure most of you know someone who has graduated within the past week or so or who will be within the next week or two. PropertyOfZack is hopping on another one of AbsolutePunk’s Thursday Discussions to “celebrate” graduation and make a fun, and maybe emo, playlist about some of the best songs that sum up graduation from high school and/or college. Below you’ll find ten personal songs that sum up countless flashbacks of graduation, high school memories, and college expectations. Feel free to reblog with your graduation song(s) or comment on the AP.net thread here!
Man Overboard - Love Your Friends, Die Laughing
This is a great song to relive some of your favorite high school memories. It might be a new pop-punk song, but it certainly has that old school sing-a-long-with-your-best-friends chorus that we all love.Something Corporate - If You C Jordan
Remember this one? Looking back at it, it’s probably one of Andrew’s worst, but oh is it good. This one goes out to the passive aggressive nights we all had in high school. I’m a much more avid Jack’s Mannequin fan, but boy did Andrew know how to write an angst-ridden tune or two in SoCo.The Story So Far - Daughters
Remember that “type” of girl (or guy) you hated in high school before you graduated? This is the song to describe what they turned into in college.blink-182 - Dammit
The ultimate “the person I want to be with is with a person I hate” song. And blink-182’s classic closer.The Starting Line - Surprise, Surprise
“I’ll be your friend in hell. Until then, I despise you. And I probably always will.” That actually has junior high written all over it, doesn’t it?
This is just an angry pop punk boy playlist.
There’s a thing called the “bystander effect” where everyone thinks ”that’s terrible, someone will fix it” and because they’re always waiting for someone else to fix it no one ever does. Step up and fix the problem.
There’s this next level thing called the “spongebob bystander effect” where everyone thinks “What do you want to do today?” and then the next person will reply “I don’t know. What do you want to do today?” and then the original person who asks the question presumably forgets that they had already asked the question and replies “I don’t know. What do you want to do today?” and then Squidward, in order to get them to stop being so annoying, provides businesses and groups that have really messed up practices in the bikini bottom community so that Spongebob and Patrick stop talking about the very fruitless pat-on-the-back discussion of ‘doing something’ and progress to something that will get them out of his hair.
