This is an old video(from 5-6 years ago), shown only for context
No major American media outlets covered this story while it was happening..The Atlanta Black Star and oddly enough .WSHH were the few Black media outlets that devoted coverage to the story back then.
For the historians out there, if the end of the video looks familiar...yes it does look like civil rights era footage of southern crackers. And it does look like what kristallnacht might have looked like. The irony of that is not lost on jews, which is why the footage and story was buried in the American press.

Israel has started issuing deportation orders to African migrants, giving them 60 days to return to their home countries or opt for an unnamed safe haven. Those failing to meet the deadline risk being sent to prison.
Israel's Population, Immigration and Border Authority delivered the first batch of notices Sunday, telling migrants they have to leave before April 1. The notification says the government arranged their relocation to “a safe third country.” In addition to the travel documents and free plane tickets, the migrants will receive a $3,500 cash payment.
The deportation letters does not name the "safe" destination, but describes it as “a country that, in the past decade, has developed tremendously,” according to images of the notice circulating in Israeli media. In addition to “some of the highest economic figures in Africa,” the receiving country also offers “stability in its regime.” Upon arrival, newcomers will be granted a residence and work permit.

Netanyahu announces ‘mission’ to expel all illegal African migrants from Israel
Should migrants fail to comply willingly with the directive, they will be jailed for an indefinite term, according to media reports, or will be forcibly expelled with the money bonus “significantly reduced.”
Despite, the warnings, some migrants remain defiant. “They told me I had to leave to a third country. They didn't say which one, but I know it's Rwanda. It's a danger country,” Debasai Berharabo, 50, from Eritrea told YNet. “If I don't leave in two months they’ll jail me. Let them. I prefer prison, no matter how long I’m there. They don’t understand I won’t leave to my death. Prison is better than death.”
Other migrants seem to share the non-compliant stance, saying they would rather go to prison than return to Eritrea or Sudan. “They told me to leave after 60 days. I told them that I cannot, there’s a problem because I came here,” Haaretz quoted an Eritrean, named Habtum, as saying.

Israel hosts an estimated 38,000 African migrants and asylum seekers, most of them Eritrean and Sudanese, according to interior ministry figures. Since 2007, some 60,000 migrants arrived in the country through the desert border with Egypt. Israel set up a 245-kilometer fence on the frontier in 2013 in an attempt to curb the inflow.
