[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Israel has immigration laws like any other country. When those laws are broken, there are consequences.  Such as deportation. What is the issue here? African immigrants are overwhelming Europe.  Israel is giving them money to start somewhere else.  To get from Nigeria to Israel you have to go through Chad and Egypt.  Why don't they stay there if they are escaping prosecution? [/quote]

Agreed. And why choose 'horrific' Israel? I mean, Israel is a terrorist nation according to DCUM. [/quote]

The issue is the hypocrisy of being a country created to take in political refugees, and then deporting political refugees.  In the 80s I worked for student groups that met with congress to persuade them to pressure the Soviets to release Jews to migrate to Israel.  I felt bad for those Soviet Jews.  So for me, the hypocrisy is apparent.  It was never about whether these people were deserving of a peaceful place to live, or whether they were oppressed.  It was all about raising the number of Jews vs. Muslims.[/quote]
You'd feel even worse if you were one of these Soviet Jews on the receiving end of Israeli propaganda through the aliya outreach that sold them the notion of "land without people, people without land, y'all come".  The existence of Palestinians and their claim to the land was never acknowledged except in passing as "these animals to whom we give jobs".  The Soviet Jews were all enamored with the country that invited them to come in, gave them housing, jobs, schools - oh, by the way, these houses are likely to be in the occupied territories, but it doesn't matter, the land is all ours anyway. This is why former USSR Israelis are some of the most rabid right-wingers.  The idea of Israel they've been sold simply does not include Palestinians, and they are fighting to preserve this idea.  Feel sorry for them. [/quote]

It was a country [b]created[/b] for Jews hence to take in Jewish refugees.  It was not created for Soviet Jews. Let's not pretend that the reason these African migrants are choosing Israel has nothing to do with the fact that Israel is the most economically secure and tolerant in the region.  What other country gives $3500 to illegal immigrants? Israel is tiny there is no way it can welcome everyone who comes.  [/quote]

Gifted is the more accurate term.

And lets be brutally honest here - it was created for lightly swarthy and "white" jews. As it is well known and has been mentioned, Israelis HATE ethiopian jews. [/quote]
