Right- and left-wing activists clashed in south Tel Aviv on Tuesday, as a little over a hundred people gathered to demonstrate for the deportation of the large population of African migrants living in the country.

Right-wing activists along with local residents gathered to demonstrate for the deportation of African migrant at the Central Bus Station, which sits near the flashpoint Hatikva neighborhood where a violent protest last week resulted in vandalism, arrests and damaged property.

Protesters carried signs that read "return the Sudanese to Sudan" and chanted "deport the Sudanese" amid a heavy police presence.

A number of left-wing activists arrived near the central station, arguing and trading barbs with the demonstrators calling for the deportation of African migrants living in Israel.

Baruch Marzel, a prominent right-wing activist, and his "South Tel Aviv Neighborhoods Council" were present among the protesters, who marched from the seven-story bus station - a mammoth building housing a number of bars, restaurants and shops catering to the areas migrant population - in the direction of the Shapira neighborhood located further south.

Once in Shapira, a little over a hundred activists remained, a far smaller demonstration than the Hatikva demonstration last week, which attracted over 1,000 people. (© 1995-2011, The Jerusalem Post 05/30/12)
