Staying Real in Israel

Israeli Army troops on Israel’s border with Egypt spend a good bit of their time escorting these African refugees IN to Israel. They take them to Tel-Aviv, where they are processed and receive health care, warm beds and food…just what they were seeking. No one in Israel is shooting at them. That is why they keep on trying to come to Israel, even if the Egyptians take target practice on their bodies.

BTW, these refugees are NOT Jewish…
They ARE black-skinned…
Kind of throws a monkey wrench into the “Israel Apartheid Week” celebrations taking place on university campuses this week, doesn’t it?..but who said you had to have intelligence to attend university…even more so to TEACH there…(or to be president of the US aka Jimmy Carter)…
There is NOTHING even remotely resembling apartheid in Israel…period.

Egyptian border guards fatally shoot African migrant trying to get into Israel

RAFAH, Egypt – An Egyptian security official says border guards have fatally shot an African migrant and detained 16 others as they tried to cross the border into Israel.

The official says the shot migrant, whose nationality was not known, refused to surrender after guards fired warning shots south of Rafah early Sunday.

He spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to the media.

UN urges Egypt to stop shooting at migrants

Egyptian forces deliberately kill asylum seekers on Israel border, UN human rights chief says

Reprinted from YNet News

The UN human rights chief on Tuesday urged Egyptian forces to stop shooting at African migrants trying to enter Israel illegally through Egypt, after 60 were killed in the past two and a half years.

“While migrants often lose their lives accidentally when travelling in over-crowded boats, or trying to cross remote land borders, I know of no other country where so many unarmed migrants and asylum seekers appear to have been deliberately killed in this way by government forces,” Navi Pillay said.

“It is a deplorable state of affairs, and the sheer number of victims suggests that at least some Egyptian security officials have been operating a shoot-to-kill policy…60 killings can hardly be an accident.”

Most of the migrants hail from sub-Saharan Africa’s Eritrea, Sudan and Ethiopia, and have been heading for Israel. The latest victim was killed at the weekend, bringing the number of fatal shootings to nine in the first two months of 2010 alone.

“The Egyptian government should issue an immediate order to its security forces to ensure that firearms are used in strict compliance with international standards,” said the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights in a statement.

She also urged an “independent and credible inquiry into the killings.”

“There needs to be clarity about what has occurred, what policies have been applied to migrants trying to cross this border, and what specific orders have been given to security forces patrolling the area.”
