Religious woman Ayala Ben Naftali attacked by thousands of Israelis on local Facebook after posting photo album containing racist remarks against African migrants residing in south Tel Aviv, referring to them as animals in a "Night tour of the south Tel Aviv safari"-
"When I opened my Facebook on Saturday evening, I found out that I had received thousands of personal messages and comments – most of which were divided between death threats, rude
misogynous reactions which included calls for rape by a group of Sudanese, and wishes that all religious people would burn to death."
The event led to the creation of two FB local groups, one supports her and another one rejects her and calling Facebook to remove her pictures.
---
A religious woman, who posted pictures in which she refers to African refugees
as "animals", was verbally attacked on Israeli Facebook by thousands of users over the weekend.
On Thursday, Ayala Ben Naftali uploaded a photo album titled "Night tour of the south Tel Aviv safari". One of the pictures, in which she isseen posing against the backdrop of a number of African refugees sitting in a park, was accompanied by the following racist caption:
"There are no signs saying you can't take pictures with the animals. There were no signs forbidding feeding either, but we decided to pass on that."
Throughout the weekend, while Ben Naftali was observing Shabbat, the picture received thousands
of outrageous comments and shares, as well quite a few satirical memes.
On the other hand, Ben Naftali received the support of many Facebook users who sent her hundreds of private messages and even opened a group called, "We all support Ayala Ben Naftali," which currently has 500 members.
"The leftist Israel haters have launched a hatred and incitement campaign against Ayala
Ben Naftali, who spoke out against the invaders from Sudan who are stealing our border and raping our women. 'Like' us," the group creator states.
A counter-group, "We're all against Ayala Ben Naftali," was opened in response and currently has around 400 members.
"In the Israeli society in general, and in the society referring to itself as liberal in particular, there is a primeval fear of a strong woman expressing a resolved opinion that does not fit 'the right set of
opinions,'" Ben Naftali explained in response to the virtual attack she
was subject to.
On Saturday night, Ben Naftali responded to the angry comments and attacks on her Facebook
page: "On Thursday I posted on Facebook a picture describing the grim situation in south Tel Aviv, where infiltrators have taken over a playground intended for the city's children and turned it into a fourth world, in which not just children – but adults too – cannot walk around
and feel like they're in their own country.
"When I opened my Facebook on Saturday evening, I found out that I had received thousands of personal messages and comments – most of which were divided between death threats, rude
misogynous reactions which included calls for rape by a group of Sudanese, and wishes that all religious and Jewish people would burn to death.
"I was pleased to learn that the bleeding heart public is so elated and excited about the infiltrators, and not as indifferent as I had thought. Those agitated reactors were not interested in the issue when groups of infiltrators raped Israeli girls – and moreover, those same reactors wish the same fate upon me, if not worse – but I am glad to have raised public awareness to this issue.
"I invite everyone to visit the Lewinsky Park area near the central bus station and be shocked by the situation."
Following the row her pictures stirred on the social network, Ben Naftali chose to block the photo album to people who are not friends with her and added a screen shot of some of the spiteful comments she received.
"The multitude of hateful reactions stems from one reason only: The fact that I am a woman," she told Ynet on Sunday. "The proof is the high percentage of offensive comments referring to my womanhood, and the objectification ofmy body in rude Photoshopped pictures distributed by left-wing activists in a bid to disrespect me as a woman, a Jew and a religious
person."
In retrospect, and following the many reactions, would you change the wording you chose to use?
"I stand behind the messages in the pictures, even if the messages hurt a certain political faction which chooses to ignore reality on the ground. The picture itself was not radical, and neither was the caption."
"Labels like 'Little Africa' and 'safari' are common not just on the Web but in the public discourse as well, in the media and even in the Knesset. Clearly, if a man had posted a critical photo against the
infiltrators, he would have been completely ignored."

First photo is the original one, The next photos were made as contra, including one showing her with Jewish refugees in Europe, and another one showing her with Settlers while the sign says- "Do not take pictures with the animals....
The last photo is a fragment of her FB page with very hateful comments against her, such as: "You racist slut, You are not religious, I wish you die, you motherfucker slut..." or "I wish you to get raped by many Africans", "Shame on you racist, no wonder religious are so hated" , "You fucking slut, all religious should be burned" and "Please die, god is ashamed with you..."

@angeldust its the thing when some ethnicity somehow kills other ethnicity people and somehow jews marketed it to just include the jews, while other ethnic groups have been killed even in greater numbers.
Got it?

That's the no. 1 problem with being the self-anointed 'chosen' people -- elitist arrogance.

She stepped very low with her personal geek, and was quite suprised to wake up and find her personal page is full with extremely hateful comments against her, wishing her to die,burn in hell or get raped by Sudanese...
The people who replied to her like that stepped as low as she did, but this is certainly not something which LLeakers will find strange... lol
She is racist no doubt but the problem she was referring to, the thousands of Africans in S.Tel Aviv is indeed a huge social problem- Ma More..

We are an advancing civilization, those who don't move forward with it and want to live in a world where rape, murder and fear are common place will always be called Animals.
