(Reuters) – Israel said on Monday it had started rounding up African migrants in the first stage of a controversial “emergency plan” to intern and deport thousands deemed a threat to the Jewish character of the state. Israel Radio reported that dozens of Africans, mainly from South Sudan, had already been detained in the Red Sea resort of Eilat, including mothers and children.
“This is only a small group of the infiltrators,” Interior Minister Eli Yishai said. “I’m not acting out of hatred of strangers but love of my people and to rescue the homeland.”
The goal is to repatriate all the estimated 60,000 African migrants, whose growing numbers are seen by many Israelis as a law and order issue and even a threat to the long-term viability of the Jewish state. For some in Israel, built by immigrants and refugees, internment and deportation are bad solutions that may damage the international image of the country needlessly.
They say rounding up members of a different racial group and holding them in camps for deportation may invite allusions to the Nazi Holocaust, however unfair such comparisons may be, and betrays Jewish values. Many Sudanese, including hundreds who escaped from conflict and humanitarian disaster in Darfur, have been in Israel for several years, living in legal limbo without formal refugee status, but peaceably, they say.
Now they are caught up in a wave of hostility towards blacks in general, focused on a poor area of south Tel Aviv where they congregate.
“We’re being called a cancer and an AIDs virus on the Israeli people, by politicians in the Knesset,” said protest organizer Jacob Berri. He accused government right-wingers of racist incitement and inflammatory language. Israel has now built a high fence along the frontier. Poor south Tel Aviv residents say affluent north Tel Aviv Jews can afford to be liberal, because the Africans are not in their back yard. An opinion poll last week showed 52 percent of Israelis agree that the Africans are “a cancer”.
“They’ve come here to rape and steal,” one Israeli woman shouted at a small but ugly anti-migrant demonstration earlier this month in south Tel Aviv. “We should burn them out, put poison in their food,” said an elderly man.
The pre-Caldean name for Jew is “Ha Deen (Din)”, which translates to mean “The Life”. What this means is that anyone living the life proscribed by the “Jewish” faith in the Torah IS a Jew. It doesn’t matter what color they are, or what country they come from or live in.
Shame on those people in Israel. “Never again” — unless it’s to someone else?
Peace,

Piss on Israel PERIOD, it is an illegal state that should go back to Palestine.
The name Palestine was the original name of Israel. Another thing stolen from the Jews, along with their temple and their homeland.
And their God.
The State of Texas was stolen fair and square from the Indians and the Mexicans.
We are still proud of that fact.
Viva la Raza!!
Should Jordan have to give up the area it took from the Arabs, after Israel was formed?
After Israel was formed the first time, or the second time?
There are jewish buildings in Israel older than the Palestines. But you’re OK with the native American claim on the US. Typical lefty hypocrite
In 1948, Jordan took over territory set aside for Arab Palestine.
It was completely legal, done with the approval of everybody except the Palestinians.
“I’m not acting out of hatred of strangers but love of my people and to rescue the homeland”
I would love to see that on one of those “guess who said it” sites…
Hitler?
Guess who said this:
The white man knows how to make everything, but he does not know how to distribute it.
What treaty that the whites have kept has the red man broken? Not one.
If I agree to dispose of any part of our land to the white people I would feel guilty of taking food away from our children’s mouths, and I do not wish to be that mean.
What white man can say I never stole his land or a penny of his money? Yet they say that I am a thief.
What white man has ever seen me drunk? Who has ever come to me hungry and left me unfed? Who has seen me beat my wives or abuse my children? What law have I broken?
I wish it to be remembered that I was the last man of my tribe to surrender my rifle.
I am a red man. If the Great Spirit had desired me to be a white man he would have made me so in the first place.
Is it wrong for me to love my own? Is it wicked for me because my skin is red? Because I am Sioux? Because I was born where my father lived? Because I would die for my people and my country?
If we must die, we die defending our rights.
Man, quit while you’re behind.
Sitting Bull.
Your turn orchidcup. Easy one. My favorite celebrity actor type.
“When I got back from the war in 1946 people didn’t want the Mr. Smith kind of movie any more, and I refused to make war pictures.”

“I am James Stewart playing James Stewart. I couldn’t mess around with the characterizations. I play variations on myself.”
I don’t know what gives people the idea they “own” the Earth, or even the earth they live on.
Our word for the world, Earth, means “dirt.” Maybe that’s why so many prefer the term “land,” though I don’t know that they have a better claim to ownership just because they “landed” on it.
Just like our cousins the chimpanzees, we patrol the borders of “our” territories and bloodily battle intruders. We are xenophobic in our genes.
The Earth (and the land) were here billions of years before there were multi-celled creatures, mammals, primates, anthropoids or humans; it will be here billions of years after we are not even a memory. We don’t own it, we merely occupy its surface.
Bobbo’s phrase is completely apt: “Silly Hoomans!”
Now that Obama has acknowledged being born in Kenya, can we deport him? Let’s have Clinton be the one who announces it like the guy in the clip. He was labelled the Boy President by one right-wing mag. And Obama even gave a speech today that was the same site where Clinton said the opposite. Not as bad optics as Reagan speaking in Philadelphia, but still, this is where they realized the campaign was a loser.
Donald Trump. Is that you?
What? He was operating on a theory. I am stating a fact, that Obama declared himself born in Kenya for many years.
Jewish racists Who knew?
Don’t call me a racist.
I am part Welsh, part Sioux, and part Jew.
Now I know why I hate myself sometimes.
And the big O’ just bent over the illegals. C’mon everybody, cross the border!!!!! Free citizenship by crossing!!!!! And remember to vote for Obama on your way in.
Yea, Obama has no interest in deporting illegals. Except to get the talking point of record number of deportations, achieved by cutting deals with people apprehended, that stops as soon as they reach their quota, so they can try for good numbers for next year.
“I’m torn.”
I think ALL illegals should be deported. Its how a country maintains its society.
… but in point of fact, we desired cheap labor to do menial jobs at below minimum wage payments.
There is the written law in conflict with what we actually did/wanted. Of the two, only an asshat would give the law primacy – and of course we have lots of asshats from all the Pukes in congress to Pedro.
But “being real” is nothing our Pukes in Congress have to consider as long as they have near 50% of the voters race baited like Pedro. Not citizenship. I heard residency visa. Pretty close, I agree.
but===what is “fair.” What is Just? Or do you want to whine like a little bitch about what the law says?
Thinking like a puke Dumbbo. Sure it’s all for cheap labor, you can sleep easy tonite
Well Pedro–why else did the Bushs do nothing near what was required to enforce our immigration policies?
Why did God for Limp Dicks Regan give AMNESTY!!!
Fun to watch Rubio double speak Floriduh’s voting restrictions on immigrant community.
what do any of us owe the generation that born and raised us?
He will double speak as much as the Obamessiah has done. They’re all politicians, just looking for a way to stay in power.
In politics, it’s called pragmatism and that serves as an excuse for anything they do to stay in power. Is what sheep love the most about politicians.
Bigger point, is the president can’t just pick and choose which laws he will enforce, and declare the other ones won’t be enforced in certain cases. How about if a new Republican President just declared I won’t enforce tax laws above 10% rate?
He’s a constitutional scholar which means he can do pretty much whatever he likes with it.
Then again Obama may not be Kenyan at all. That may just be a lie he told to help sell his book. Do we have any pictures of Obama Sr, so we can see if there is a physical resemblance?
One writer has discovered evidence that his mom put her maiden name on the birth certificate, that that’s what Obama’s been hiding.
