I wish America and other first world countries would emulate Israel’s immigration policy with big nasty fences to keep out undesirables. I like how Israel calls illegal immigrants “infiltrators” rather than “undocumented workers.”<\/p>\n
Report<\/a>: Jerusalem – Israeli ministers were meeting on Tuesday to discuss a new law to deal with illegal immigrants from Africa, after the High Court barred the government from detaining them without trial.<\/p>\n The discussion, between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the ministers of justice, the interior and public security, comes a day after a heated parliamentary debate which saw hardliners criticising the court ruling.<\/p>\n “The court’s decision… does not enable the state to deal with the phenomenon of infiltration,” outgoing Interior Minister Gideon Saar said on Monday, using a term for African migrants widely used by Israeli politicians.<\/p>\n According to the 22 September ruling, Israel can no longer detain illegal migrants for up to a year without trial, with the court ordering the closure of the Holot detention centre within 90 days.<\/p>\n Human rights abuses<\/p>\n Around 2 000 African nationals are currently being held at the centre located in the southern Negev desert.<\/p>\n A year ago, the High Court struck down a similar law allowing them to be held for up to three years without trial.<\/p>\n Government figures indicate there are at least 48 000 Africans living illegally in Israel, most of them from Eritrea, where the regime has been repeatedly accused of widespread human rights abuses, and from conflict-torn Sudan.<\/p>\n Many of them are living in impoverished areas of southern Tel Aviv, where residents have frequently protested against their presence.<\/p>\n FROM HAARETZ<\/a>:<\/p>\n An international watchdog organization has slammed Israel for its treatment of thousands of African migrants, saying it is forcing them to leave the country at grave personal risk.<\/p>\n In a report issued Tuesday, Human Rights Watch says Israeli authorities have coerced almost 7,000 Eritrean and Sudanese to return to their homes, where they may face serious abuse.<\/p>\n The reports says that some returning Sudanese have faced torture, arbitrary detention, and treason charges at the hands of the anti-Israel Sudanese government, while returning Eritreans also risk harassment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If the nations of the West would but emulate Zionism in its tribalism, Israel would finally get to be a light unto the nations of the world.
