Black Lives
Don’t Matter—In Israel: Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, had an agreement
with the UN to resettle African migrants. Days later, this deal was renounced. Now, these
refugees from Africa have been told they have no more than ninety days to leave Israel or
face imprisonment. Israel claims that these refugees are economic migrants and Israel
can’t and shouldn’t have to care for them. Netanyahu has even stated that these
African migrants “pose a greater threat to Israel than terrorism.” Netanyahu also
complimented the country’s border wall with Egypt, once stating it was “a
strategic decision to secure Israel’s Jewish and democratic character.” Rabbi
Yosef Scheinen, one of the top rabbis in Israel, has stated, “Racism originated in the
Torah.”
