The greatest problem for immigrants: “Hard-working immigrants tend to have not-so-hard-working children and grandchildren. For example, just 8 percent of working-age male immigrants from Latin America are out of the labor force, but the number among U.S.-born Hispanics is 17 percent, which is higher than the national average. It seems that immigrant families eventually assimilate to the native work ethic, growing the underclass.” It’s an issue all immigrants dread, and I have no idea how to deal with it. You want the kids to assimilate but what if they assimilate themselves right out of a capacity to work, succeed and enjoy life?

[Published: 06.08.16] A terrorist attack at Tel Aviv’s Sarona Market, adjacent to Ministry of defense; IDF HQ, has left four dead and at least 16 wounded, one of them critically; two terrorists were neutralized; police and Tel Aviv mayor ask citizens to resume daily routine.
Today saw:
International coverage of TA terror attack refer to ‘shooting,’ but not terrorists
CNN refers to Tel Aviv terrorists who killed 4 Israelis in quotation marks; BBC describes attack as ‘shooting;’ FOX News refers to ‘Terror in Israel.’

IDF revokes Ramadan permits, deploys more troops to West Bank
Two additional battalions deployed to West Bank after deadly Tel Aviv shooting; permits for 83,000 Palestinians for visits to Israel have been revoked, including permits of 204 relatives of terrorists.
…
Among the participants in the Security Cabinet meeting was Israel’s new defense minister, Avigdor Lieberman, the leader of an ultranationalist party known for his hard-line views toward the Palestinians. Before the meeting, Lieberman visited the site of the shooting and had a cup of coffee in a local cafe.
“I do not intend to speak and detail the steps we intend to take, but I am sure that I have no intention to stop at words,” he said.

When fear of terror affects Arabs’ livelihood
As terror in Israel continues, more and more Jews are reluctant to allow Arab workers into their homes; ‘Jews no longer want Arab cab drivers.’
…
Particularly in the wake of the terror attack in Tel Aviv’s Sarona market which left four dead and 16 wounded , the phenomenon threatens the livelihood of thousands of Arabs and, consequently, Jewish-owned business which employ them.
With conspicuously greater frequency, Jewish customers, affected by the fear of terror, demand that companies refrain from sending Arab workers to their homes.
Many business owners and commercial organizations are facing this request which is particularly commonplace in fields such as paint and renovation companies employing Arabs, on goods transfer companies, on gardening companies, cleaning businesses and the like.

Which two things? First of all, even you would probably agree there is no difference in cases like this:
Palestinian Authority to Ban Food Products of Five Israeli Companies.
Ban is a tit-for-tat response to Israel’s recent ban on several Palestinian dairy products for what it said were public health reasons.
http://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/business/.premium-1.710447
Here a Palestinian news source reports on the situation, if you’re interested:
http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2016/04/palesitinian-government-ban-entry-israel-products-west-bank.html
Secondly, who are “black people” here? Palestinians or the entire Arab / Muslim world? Nobody in Israel calls for severing economic ties with Arab / Muslim countries in general. For instance, we have had a free-trade agreement with Turkey since 1996. Palestinians are not some special racial group, unlike any other Arabs, which you imply by “black people.” They are a people at war with Israel – in other words, “made in Nigeria” in your analogy.
Also, Clarissa’s “people turn to consumption as a way of expressing their ideology” is wrong regarding that article. Clarissa’s description suits the cases in which some Israeli Jews write “do not employ / buy from Arabs” (usually during terror waves) as a political point.
However, that article is about something different : many Israeli Jews are currently simply afraid of employing Arabs (one does not know whether they’re Israeli citizens or Palestinians from PA, when f.e. turning to paint and renovation companies) after even some Israeli Arab citizens committed terrorist acts. Previously, the same Jewish “racists” somehow did not make such demands. Had they become “racist” overnight? Living in a safe country, SB describes it as racism, while Clarissa mentions expressing some ideology via consumption. Nobody seems to understand that people may be genuinely afraid. I suppose, since it’s very far away from your realities.
[the rant part] That quiet fear “will he \ they or won’t he \ they?” is acknowledged by feminists when women feel unsafe because of dangerously looking (and often behaving) groups of men, in cases like “after last year attacks, in 2017 a German woman in Cologne meets lots of Arab looking men on a dark street on New Year and feels fear”, but when it’s about two people at war and ongoing murderous terror attacks, good luck with finding understanding in the Western world. Must be my racism talking.

I have not said “random men,” but men from special “high-risk” groups.
