All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed, Third, it is accepted as being self-evident

The Real News’ Lia Tarachansky spoke with community members who protested against the refugees, with Mohammad Ibrahim, a refugee from Sudan, Rotem Ilan who volunteers to chaperone refugee children home from kindergartens to avoid violence, and journalist Mya Guarnieri.
