Yariv Oppenheim of Peace Now is calling on the attorney general to launch an investigation against MKs Miri Regev, Danny Danon, Yariv Levin (Likud) and Dr. Michael Ben-Ari (Ichud HaLeumi) for attending a demonstration calling to deport illegal Africans from Israel. Oppenheim and his supporters feel the elected officials simply incited against the illegals and “fanned the flames of hatred” with their comments, referring to them as “a cancer in our country”.

12 people were arrested during the protest during which speakers spoke of the demographic threat posed by the 60,000 illegals from African countries. Some of the participants in the protest became violent and began throwing rocks at illegals in the area, prompting the arrests. Earlier in the week, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu warned if the nation does not act, the “60,000 can easily become 600,000”.
