Maybe an inverted sense of history repeating
I can't think of many cases in which Israelis were removed as illegal immigrants to completely safe countries?...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
that's disgusting
the recent sight of immigration inspectors conducting spot checks on people in the street is tantamount to persecution.
Israel is supposed to be a developed nation and it treats people like that after they have been contributing to their economy. horrific behaviour.
For years Israel encouraged foreign workers from the developing world to come here and do the poorly paid, menial jobs that Israelis did not want to do.0 -
I don't blame the Israelis for wanting to keep their country free of mass third world immigrants.
Otherwise this might happen to them: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-10844915

When is an illegal immigrant not an illegal immigrant? indeed when is a terrorist not a terrorist?
22 July
The King David Hotel in Jerusalem is destroyed by a bomb planted by Jewish terrorists. The hotel housed the headquarters of British forces in Palestine. 91 of the occupants were killed and 45 injured; 28 of the casualties were British

Quite ironic that a people victimised by forced displacement, ethnic cleansing and murder on a massive scale......
Would turn around and do the same to another people only a few years later, just so they could create their own state.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

We remove people too....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

What's the King David Hotel bombing got to do with immigration and removal? Nothing, it seems to me....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

Plenty it seems to me, after all the the majority of the settlers of modern Israel were mainly illegal immigrants Aliyah Bet (1933-1948). I am not being hostile to Jewish people, I would just expect better from them.'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is.

The Israelis seems to think the Hebrew Bible is some kind of real estate document – I don't think many people would stand for what has happened to the Palestinians if they were excluded from their land.0
