JERUSALEM (AP) -- Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is warning that Israel could be swamped by illegal migrants from Africa. The mounting number of migrants is high on the national agenda following a series of crimes, including rapes, that have been blamed on the newcomers. Netanyahu says the influx is "threatening the fabric of Israeli society, its national security and its national identity." He says if Israel doesn't stop it, then "60,000 infiltrators are liable to become 600,000, and lead to the eradication of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state." More than 50,000 Africans have poured into Israel since 2005, seeking to escape persecution and poverty. Some Israelis believe their country, created after the Holocaust, must help the oppressed. Poster Comment: Netanyahu doesn't seem to have any problem calling a Spade a Spade.

Or a Goy a Goy. Wheeeeeee.....
Illegal migrants? Mister Prime Minister, what we have here is a failure to communicate; those are undocumented workers that you're so concerned about. "The 'uniter' has brought the entire world together - to despise and deride us." Lod
Ashkenazi Against Sephardi Racism Lives Some 100,000 Hasidic haredi (ultra-Orthodox) Ashkenazi Jews staged a massive rally to show support to fellow parents within their communities that were sent to prison to serve two-week sentences. The parents were found to be in contempt of court for failing to send their children to school alongside Sephardi children. The haredim were found guilty by the Israeli High Court of Justice of racism. Evidence of their crime can easily be seen by the fact that schools were constructed with separate entrances and separate classrooms for Ashkenazi and Sephardi Jews. The Ashkenazi parents say they need to keep the classrooms segregated because the families of the Sephardi girls "aren't religious enough." The arguments and actions of the haredi communities are similar to those which took place in the early and mid 20th century United States under the Jim Crow laws which separated blacks and whites. After the recent decision by the Israeli court to put a halt to the discrimination, the haredi Ashkenazi students' parents decided to boycott the court order by keeping their children home. Education Ministry inspectors soon discovered that physical separators had been removed, but that the Sephardic girls were the only ones in class. Hassidic haredi Jews initially arrived in Palestine from Europe and Russia in the late 19th century. Ever since their arrival, they have been criticized by their fellow Jews for always being on the margin and not working together toward intra-religious harmony. The Holy Land was represented by one rabbi for hundreds of years, which was always a Sephardi rabbi. The last single-representative was Chief Rabbi Jacob Meir (1856-1939), a Spanish Sephardi rabbi. Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook (1865-1935) was brought in from Europe to be the Chief Ashkenazi Rabbi, thus the co-chief rabbi of British Mandate Palestine. Upon taking office, Rabbi Kook asked the Hasidic haredi Ashkenazim to work together with him, after all, he too was a Hasidic Ashkenazi Jew!--but they outright rejected his notion of being part of a central chief rabbinate nor working in any fashion with the secular Zionist leadership. The haredim of yesteryear marginalized themselves; they blindly followed their leaders known as "rebbes," as they continue to do today. Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook, expressed his deep anger about this when he wrote a scathing commentary of the haredim: The enslavement of the[ir] intelligence and its stupefaction result from certain influences, and the more 'holy' the influences, the greater the damage done, amounting to the corruption of prophecy in God's name, actions of wickedness and impurity, idol worship and abomination. Thus when the attempt to stupefy the intelligence is presented in the name of faith, of fear of Heaven, or diligence in Torah and fulfilling of mitzvot, it becomes a terrible lie and a filthy impurity. Then the holy ones of the Most High, God's pure servants, must go forth to redeem the world and Israel, the Torah, and all that is holy to the Lord from these destroyers.(1) The contemporary battle in Israel stems from the fact haredi Ashkenazi Jews demand that the Sephardi children (in this case we are speaking of children of Jews from Muslim countries) pray in the Ashkenazi manner both at home and at school. Further, the haredim have demanded the Sephardi children dress like they do-in fashion which originated from Central and Eastern Europe, that of the black clergical uniform consisting of a long coat and black hat. But it gets even worse than that. The haredim in Israel have established separation fences in the school's courtyards, and setup different recess times for Ashkenazi and Sephardi students to keep them apart. The Ashkenazi school placed signs on the walls indicating physical separation. All of this discrimination and racism smacks of the 1970's when it was not uncommon for Sephardi Jews to be called 'niggers.' The parents of the haredim insist that they were acting out of religious conviction and rejected charges of racism. However, constructing a wall to separate children whose grandparents come from Morocco, Egypt or Iraq versus whose grandparents come from Poland, Ukraine or Russia, needs no explanation. The opinions and outlook of the Hasidic haredim in Israel are no different today than they were was in the past. We can now see why Rabbi Kook, the first Chief Ashkenazi Rabbi, issued stern criticism of them in the early 20th century. He said the haredim were: Fur-cloaked deceivers, weak of spirit and small of mind, whose own intellectual light has been obstructed, their feelings dulled, and their imagination coarsened, who purposefully and thoroughly trample down the reality before them, their own faith enrooted in mere fables of faith... And thus souls stumble and fall, and human beings live the lives of beasts, degradation without knowledge or understanding, without human honor, that most basic element in recognizing the honour of Heaven that fills the world, that gives life to all, and animates spirit and soul. Xenophobia relates to their bitter and unjust hatred of the Sephardim. This revulsion by this group of haredi Ashkenazim against Jews that were displaced from Muslim countries goes along with their desire to secure a presumed Ashkenazi purity of religion. Yet, this is ironic, as it's the Sephardi Jews that made up the indigenous Jewish population in the Holy Land. And while these Hassidic haredim follow a version of the Jewish religion that was founded in 18th century Ukraine by Rabbi Israel ben Eliezer, under halakha (binding Jewish religious law) it is the customs and traditions of the Sephardi Jews which are the customs of the Land of Israel and legally should be the dominant way of life in Israel. The racism and segregation being experienced upon Sephardi children in Israel today is shameful, but it is nothing new. This not a simple issue of minhag (tradition) or different mesorah (tradition), this is about the blatant hatred of the Sephardi Jews by the Hasidic haredi Ashkenazim, a very well known situation that exists in parts of Israel today. Jews should be moving forward not backward. The fear, ignorance and emotional response being elicited by the Hasidic haredi Ashkenazim is a disgrace to all Jews on the highest level. It's a true crying shame.
It is not just the haredi - it is just that racism takes somewhat less blatant forms in the rest of the AshkeNAZI community. Read Jack Bernstein's "An American Jew in Marxist Racist Israel" for a real snoot full. Or Naiem Giladi's "The Jews of Iraq". Both talk of the AshkeNAZI racism and discrimination. Jack married a Sephardi woman and was vilified for it and Mr. Giladi was Sephardi (or Mizrahim - and there is a slight difference - Sephardi's are the descendants of the Jews pushed out of Spain and the Mizrahim never left the Middle East although both derive from Arab ancestry.). The poor Ethiopian Jews are treated worse than blacks in the Jim Crow South. I suspect, but cannot prove, that one of the reasons the AshkeNAZIm are so full of bile and hatred is that in their heart of hearts they feel inferior to the Sephardi as being the real Jews of the Torah.
I agree. The Ashkenazim can be described by one part of Scripture - Rev2:9 know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. In at least one case Brooklyn's District Attorney Charles Hynes allowed a beit din (haredi rabbinical court) lead by Rabbi Dovid Feinstein to decide the outcome of a grand jury investigation. Following the beit din ruling in March of 2000, the D.A. dropped charges against Rabbi Shlomo Hafner of molesting a 10-year-old hearing-impaired boy, with one of the rabbis bragging that "We educated the D.A. on how to properly conduct a sex abuse trial." The special treatment given by prosecutors to Orthodox Jewish sex offenders, reported on extensively over the past six years in The Jewish Week and on the blog Failed Messiah, was first documented in a Newsday series in 2003 regarding the failed police investigation in Brooklyn of infamous alleged serial child molester Avraham Mondrowitz, revealing how he was allowed to flee to Israel and avoid extradition due to political pressure from his community. A retired Police Detective expressed the frustration of the "handcuffed" police department who had repeatedly discovered that there were "two justice systems in Brooklyn; one for Orthodox Jews and the other for everyone else." While Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes boasts that he stemmed the tide of child molestation in Brooklyn's Catholic community by insisting that the Bishops sign a "memo of agreement" to turn over all allegations directly to his office, this is a far cry from his agreement with the Agudah rabbis allowing them to decide which alleged molesters are reported to the police, as was exposed by Failed Messiah and repeated last week in a New York Times article. Regardless of Mr. Hynes' claims that he "expects" that these allegations will "also be reported to his office," he has never criticized the rabbis for not reporting them despite the fact that there exists not a single documented case in which a leading rabbi in Brooklyn has reported a molester to the police. An account detailed in "Tempest and the Temple: Jewish Communities and Child Sex Scandals" (Brandeis University Press, 2009), citing research published in 2008 in the Journal of Child Sexual Abuse, documents that in at least one case Mr. Hynes allowed a Beit Din (rabbinical court) lead by Rabbi Dovid Feinstein to decide the outcome of a grand jury investigation. Following the Beit Din ruling in March of 2000, the D.A. dropped charges against Rabbi Shlomo Hafner of molesting a 10-year-old hearing-impaired boy, with one of the rabbis bragging that "We educated the D.A. on how to properly conduct a sex abuse trial." Prosecutorial tolerance in Brooklyn and other Orthodox enclaves (such as Lakewood, N.J., Monsey, N.Y., and Baltimore, Md.) for rabbis protecting child molesters is all the more disturbing at a time when the national and global trend is increasingly to crack down on cover ups. In Missouri, a Catholic Bishop was indicted for failing to report an abusive priest, and four Amish Bishops were convicted of failing in their duty as mandated reporters to inform the authorities of a child molester in their church. Officers of the University of Pennsylvania were arrested for failing to report allegations against football coach Jerry Sandusky, and the Archbishop of Philadelphia is being tried for endangering the welfare of children after allowing accused priests to work with children without alerting police or unsuspecting parents. In Los Angeles, the Archbishop has been investigated by the FBI for fraudulently passing off a pedophile priest as safe to be teaching children. Even the Hague is taking up the question of whether the institutional cover up of sexual abuse perpetrated by a religious hierarchy on its children, should be considered a crime against humanity. But in the name of "cultural sensitivity" the State's Attorney's office in New Jersey tolerates a "wall of silence" by rabbis in Lakewood, who proudly announced in the Asbury Park Press in 2009 that all cases of sexual abuse against children are "handled" by a special Beit Din that was set up by the local yeshivah. Last year a Jewish Week investigation exposed that State's Attorney Marlene Lynch Ford has made no efforts to force the rabbis to turn over cases of child abuse that they have "adjudicated," despite the fact that it is a crime in New Jersey for any adult to fail to report suspicions of abuse to the authorities. In Baltimore, there has been extensive coverage in The Jewish Times documenting the Va'ad Harrabanim (the Council of Rabbis) putting pressure on victims of abuse and their advocates to keep silent, and yet law enforcement agencies refuse to even investigate as long as victims are still too intimidated to come forward. In many cases of child molestation in the Catholic Church, including in Long Island, N.Y., Boston and Philadelphia, prosecutors have convened grand juries to subpoena all the records of abuse allegations, and in one example in Belgium last year, police raided church offices to investigate hidden records. In cases of rabbinic cover ups, however, prosecutors have not even gone as far as asking nicely and respectfully for the rabbis to give them all of the names of the alleged molesters they know about, and have certainly not put any pressure at all on the rabbis for breaking the law and endangering the welfare of children. What is the reason for this double standard? Is it some kind of reverse discrimination, in which the authorities bend over backwards to avoid charges of anti-Semitism? But is it really anti-Semitic to protect Jewish children, even if those who are harming them happen to be Jews from their own community, and sometimes even rabbis? Ultimately, Jewish children will only be safe when Jewish and non-Jewish people of good conscience work together to demand that the rabbis stop covering up abuse, and that the prosecutors use all their resources and authority to bring the abusers to justice and to hold those who cover up abuse accountable. Rabbi Asher Lipner, Ph.D. is a licensed clinical psychologist who treats survivors of sexual abuse, Jewish and non-Jewish in Brooklyn, N.Y. http://failedmessiah.typepad.com...klyn-aided-by-da-567.html
Let's fucking hope so. Karma for the divide and conquer Jewish lobby that pushed illegal immigration down our throats.
Pedophillia... maybe that explains Goldie's conversion to Judaism????
