The gull of these Khazars that they are even racist at real jews...the Khazars are a Turkic and Slavic people not semetic.

Just to put things straight, the riots weren't so large as perceived in this article. 1 store and a car were damaged, but the anger did not hurt in ANY WAY the African asylum seekers working freely here in Tel Aviv :)
