Nigerians React as Israeli lawmaker says Africans Have no Culture!

Africans have no culture – Nigerians have broken the internet in reaction to the comments of an Israeli lawmaker urging the Government to restrict Africans from coming into the country and deport the ones already in the country because according to him Africans have no culture.

The lawmaker, Oren Hazan further said the Israeli government should restrict African Migrants from having children in the country because they were not refugees but economic migrants.

The member of Israeli Parliament made his racist views known during an interview that was posted on the Facebook page of his political party.

The state of Israel had offered money to African migrants to leave the country and forcefully deported hundreds of others who refused the offer earlier in the year.

His comments and statements have not been condemned by the Likud party led by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who is also known for his extreme racist views about people non-Jewish people.

Nigerians however took to the internet to register displeasure at the comments of lawmakers from what they view as ‘the holy land of Israel’.

Millions of Africans make a yearly religious pilgrimage to Israel visiting biblical sites and monuments in the country which is a massive source of income for the Israeli government.

A Nairaland user @Donald9 said;

“Africans love Israel, pray for them, try as much to attach themselves to them and also see then as special children while they themselves so much hate anything Black. What a life ”

“LOL. The black man is the most marginalized entity in the modern world. Let me think, other races have gotten shorter ends of the stick — the difference is the black man consciously goes to places he is not wanted, no different from a glutton for punishment.
American Indians, Canadian Indians, Australian Aborigines and the natives of New Zealand receive the same and sometimes worse treatment. You never see them run from their homes looking for better lives where unneeded.”

@Mekanus;

“Hahahaha. Africans spend millions of dollars yearly in Israel in the name of pilgrimage but look what’s happening now, they’re not even wanted there. Africans don’t give a shiit about their culture but prefers to travel thousands of kilometres to Israel just to worship fiction.”
