Israel begins distributing deportation notices to Africans

Not sure if this is in the right forum but here goes. Mods do what you must if necessary.

African migrants are getting the boot from Israel; migrants who are mainly from Eritrea and Sudan. Israel is giving some 40,000 migrants an offer of $3500 and a plane ticket for which the migrants have 60 days to accept the offer or be incarcerated indefinitely.

JERUSALEM – Israeli authorities have begun distributing deportation notices to thousands of African migrants.

In letters delivered Sunday, Israel says the migrants have 60 days to accept the offer to leave the country for an unnamed African destination in exchange for $3,500 and a plane ticket. Those who don't by Apr. 1 will be incarcerated indefinitely.

Some 40,000 migrants, nearly all from Eritrea and Sudan, fled danger for the safety and opportunities of Israel in recent years. Many have expressed fear of being sent to Rwanda, their likely destination.


The deportation plan has sparked outrage in Israel, where groups of pilots, doctors, writers, rabbis and Holocaust survivors have appealed to have it halted. They say the deportations are unethical and would damage Israel's image as a refuge for Jewish migrants.

Several people in Israel are against this decision which singles out African migrants for deportation even if those migrants are themselves Jewish. So what could be the reason for this decision..? There must be some reason...what do you think? What says ATS?

Israel can't put these migrants into "camps", because the Nazi's put Jews into "camps", and if they try to do this, then their own past will come to haunt them eventually. People will be able to say, "See, the Nazi's were right, the Jews do the same thing, it's in their blood, and the Germans must have known what type of people they were dealing with."

So, Israel is obligated to show more compassion to the Africans, in order not to be compared to the Nazi Regime.

We don't put people into "camps" because they are "undesirables."

The first thing that comes to mind is this - what is their refugee policy? Surely refugees would receive special protections. Are they refugees or illegal immigrants, because all it says is migrants.

Either way my heart breaks for them.

“This campaign is baseless and absurd,” Netanyahu said last week. “Genuine refugees and their families will remain in Israel. We have no obligation to allow illegal labor migrants who are not refugees to remain here.”

Last week, Interior Minister Aryeh Deri said his office will draw a distinction between Africans who came to Israel seeking work and refugees who came from war zones seeking sanctuary. He said anyone who submitted requests for asylum by December 31, 2017, and whose request has not yet been processed, will not be deported, including mothers, children and families.

NETANYAHU BLAMES SOROS FOR ISRAEL ANTI-DEPORTATION CAMPAIGN

Hungarian-American billionaire George Soros is behind the public campaign against the government's plan to deport Sudanese and Eritrean migrants to a third country in Africa, widely believed to be Rwanda, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday.

Soros, who is Jewish, is a strident critic of Israel and has supported a number of NGOs with radical left-wing agendas, such as Breaking the Silence, B’Tselem, Yesh Din and al-Haq.

“Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it"

I don’t see an issue.

If they aren’t citizens they are subject to deportation. The fact that they get $3500 and a plane ticket sounds like a better deal than they deserve.

Zionists only want Africans in Europe.

Glad someone is the voice of reason on this thread

I wish USA would play the same card and call it amnesty.

Well, it's not clear in the very short article; at least to me, that this is the case. I suppose it's a good deal on the surface but going back to some of these places means death for some of these people.

Really?

You actually compared concentration camps with normal camps which are set up in EVERY country that has a large number of immigrants come in at once?

Immigrants are put in camps because there's not enough space for them all, and maybe most of them haven't been checked by intelligence agencies.

It's as simple as that

"Israel can't put these migrants into "camps", because the Nazi's put Jews into "camps", and if they try to do this, then their own past will come to haunt them eventually. "

They can, as long as it doesn't turn into killing people.

These people have a choice to leave, or stay and face jail.

Israel can do what it wants.

Their country, their laws.

And never forget that America put Japanese into camps during ww2.

if they are there illegally then they are lucky that they are getting free cash and a ride home, they could just be thrown in prison without the option of voluntarily leaving with a free ride home and a consolation prize of free cash.

A government with the guts to do what its people actually want it to do. This never happens in Europe or the U.S.

Yes, Really.

What's a normal camp. You restrict the freedom of movement of a people, by incarcerating them in a fenced piece of land, so that they can't freely move about to seek a livelihood, and let the "fates or God" direct them wither it/he would to find opportunity wherever that might be found, and so raise themselves up out of their desolate condition. You deny them the right to use their arms and legs, mind, energy and will power to elevate themselves.

Immigrants are put in camps because there's not enough space for them all, and maybe most of them haven't been checked by intelligence agencies.

It's as simple as that

Not enough space for them all? But, somehow the "camps" have enough space?

Did you think about that statement?

There's more "space" outside the camps, than inside the camps.

Either you deport the migrants immediately, or set them free.

Do not hold God's children in any fenced camps.

That denies them the right to meet and greet, whomsoever the almighty would that they should, on their journey through this life.

Think about it? Would you mind if you were held in some camps?

It's like being a caged bird.

Life is short.

Every living thing deserves the right to roam free.

a reply to: bluechevytree

It's not a "ride home", they are going to be sent to a different, undisclosed at the moment, country. Some people say it's Rwanda.

they are probably sick of experiencing the massive increase in crimes

I'm sure not all of them are bad people but I'm sure many bad people were able to infiltrate the people who really want a better life

why would we blame Isreal for taking a common sense approach to migration?
