You Say “Immigration,” Izzy Says “Infiltration”
by Jeff Davis
An interesting op-ed appeared the other day in Ha’aretz, the Israeli equivalent of the New York Times. I am always fascinated to observe how other countries deal with the problems which seem to us civilized Americans so insurmountable.
Ha’aretz columnist Bradley Burston is apparently a good old fashioned 1960s style limousine liberal, and he is just all upset about how Israel is dealing with illegal immigration. His article begins “Imagine, if you will, a Jewish state founded as a refuge and last resort, that one day declares the act of seeking refuge a felony. Imagine, if you can, a law that would allow the expulsion, without any judicial process, of refugees so desperate to reach that state, that they would hazard their very lives and those of their children to do so. Imagine, impossible as it may be, that a Jewish state that is home to hundreds of thousands of Holocaust survivors, could decide not only to imprison African refugees for five years, but to make those fleeing genocide in Sudan subject to prison sentences of at least seven years. Such are the outlines of a bill that has already sailed through a preliminary Knesset vote. So callous is the language of the bill, so cruel its provisions toward Africans now fleeing a host of dangers, that the Prevention of Infiltration Act of 2008 may be said to constitute a whole new form of Holocaust denial.”
The truth is the Jews are very pragmatic about their little nation. All the liberal wailings about providing sanctuary for Third Worlders, which are taken seriously in White nations, fall on deaf ears when it comes to the Israeli government. The Jews see sympathy and compassion as weaknesses and -besides- thanks to their Holocaust story, the Jews are supposed to be the eternal recipients of compassion. They aren’t supposed to show compassion to anyone else. (more…)
