The asylum-seekers, illegals from Eritrea and Sudan seeking political asylum in Israel are using the social media networks to spread their message. That message includes photos of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Interior Minister Gideon Saar with a swastika between them amid a caption “the 21st Century Nazis”.

In yet another social network photo, the prime minister is seen looking down at one of their protests in Tel Aviv’s Rabin Square, with a swastika on his forehead.

One of the heads of their struggle has publically condemned the use of such photographs. He explains that during the entire week of protests that just passed, they did not argue or get into confrontations with anyone. Leaders insist such photos are not representative of the asylum-seeking community.
