Yesterday I had to design a food factory near the Ramle Market and saw hundreds of Africans waiting in front of the Government Building (Kyriath HaMemshala). Probably they were asking for staying permits from the Ministry of Interior. Ramle is about 20% black, if judging for the color of the people on the streets. It is one of the few mixed Arab Jewish towns in Israel, as contrary to Lod, some Arab clans choose to collaborate with the Palmach in 1948 and they were allowed to stay. The typical Arab bazaar was inherited in 1948 by Oriental Jewish refugees. They have developed the shuk as one of the cheapest of the country and many food factories have sprouted from it. I found my client (a North African clan) very stressed because they had been cought by Health inspectors selling "black" foodstuff, that is, from unapproved sources. Once I liked the schwarmah of Ramle, but I learned to avoid eating in that town. The man waxed indignant "What is the Government business from where I buy my stuff? What if I buy it on "black"?" Innocently, I tried to explain him the dangers of uninspected meat. He didnt pay me attention nor my advance. Pic.: The Shuk's Committee forbids the employment of undocumented persons.

If you do not solve this problem, you are finished. As a matter of fact, not only with they outbreed you, they will outbreed the Palestinians as well.
Anon.
Both Lod and Ramle have a significant Arab population.
I'm not aware of Ramle being a major center for illegal African infiltrators. Perhaps you encountered some black Arabs?
"The Israeli Administration of Border Crossings, Population and Immigration does not keep detailed documentation regarding their place of residence, but according to estimates from 2011, which are based on data from the Israeli police, the local authorities and the NGOs, circa 15,000-17,000 illegal immigrants lived in Tel Aviv (mainly in southern Tel Aviv, though the number also includes illegal immigrants living in Bat Yam and Bnei Brak) and 4,000-8,000 living in Eilat. While the estimates in Ashdod range from 1,500 to 2,000 illegal immigrants, in Jerusalem range from 1,000 to 8,000 illegal immigrants, and in Arad range from 400 to 600 illegal immigrants.[24] Their most prominent occupation is working in hotels, especially in Eilat."
The Ministry of Interior of Ramle serves Ramle and surrounding towns. I guess the number of Africans I saw (in excess of the regular number) is about 100 - 150.
I have no idea how good are police estimates. I make my own estimates following Galton's methods.
Here's a map.
The map does not count illegal Africans.
It does, it's just written in politically correct-ese.
Why does the Israeli right associate the Africans in Israel with criminality? Didn't a police spokesperson say that the Africans commit a disproportionately low amount of crime?
