African asylum seekers in Israel stage more protests

Thousands of African asylum seekers demonstrated outside Western embassies in Tel Aviv on Monday in a second day of mass protests against Israel's immigration policies.The migrantsmarched from downtown Tel Aviv to the embassies, calling for help in the face of Israel's refusal to grant them refugee status and its detention without trial of hundreds of asylum seekers.

how do you feel about this?

I think it's wrong that they detained the asylum seekers without a trial but on the other hand the fact that these people want asylum but are then causing a ruckus because it won't be granted seems rather immature, I mean they have certain immigration policies in place for a reason... seriously "don't bite the hand that feeds you" or in this case before they feed you...

The asylum seekers should be grateful for asylum. If they have a problem with Israel's immigration policies, then it would be better for them to seek asylum elsewhere. Israel isn't the biggest country in the middle east, so it should have some policies about immigration that prevent too many people from coming in. The detention without a trial is unfair though. I hope the protesters can find some common ground with Israel's leaders, so that a solution can be obtained.
