Jerks Among Other Things
Hosni Mubarak (AKA: “Amu Tom” (Translation) Uncle Tom”) was
convinced by his advisors not to shoot any more newcomers. His
flow of more bullets into the backs of innocent people might
increase visibility of the fact that “Amu” is one of the most worthless
piece of human matter in the Middle East, that he will bargain for
the crumbs off of anyone’s table, especially Olmert’s. Subsequently,
the Israeli have had to conduct raids around bus stations and other
known safe houses for these politically oppressed people running
from genocide in the war torn hells of Africa. Rest-broken, poorly fed
and fearful black outcasts could not have been less prepared for the
reception that awaited them; scattering quickly at the blast of a
soldiers’ guns, many refugees could not believe that a government
of a people who once prayed for their own liberation and safe haven
were doing everything to deny them one. Despite all the rapes,
mutilations and dead bodies throughout Africa, it was  not apparent
to the Israelis that thneed of these people was great and the flight
from persecution just.

    According to the Haaretz newspaper of Israel, Egyptian troops fired upon
    and killed a Sudanese man attempting to cross the frontier into Israel on
    March 10. According to reports, at least nine people were in the group that
    included Adam Othman Mohammed, 29, who was shot in the head by
    Egyptian troops. The remaining persons, all women, have been detained
    by Egyptian authorities.
Egyptian border guards also shot and killed a 32-year-old Eritrean, Ibrahim Afwerki, in a separate
incident. So far, seven persons have been shot to death this year by Egyptian troops while
attempting to cross into Israel.

While Egypt has taken steps to stem the flow of Sudanese and other job seekers trying to cross
the border into Israel, a United Nations spokesman said that at least 7,000 have entered the
Jewish state since 2007 while 2,000 have entered since January 2008.

Now, from the other side that calls itself “the Promised Land”, the odds are not much better.  You
see, the “only democracy” is that the Middle East has appeared to forgotten its own experience
with genocide and persecution and have arrested and imprisoned refugees crossing the
overwhelming desert. Since 2005, when Rwandans, Eritrean and other Africans began to slip into
Israel by climbing barbwire fences, it’s been like an Olympic run though an obstacle course,
dodging both Egyptian and Israeli soldiers.
On being caught, African refugees who are almost 95% Christians have been placed under arrest.
Last week, a frustrated Prime Minister Ehud Olmert(AKA: Jerk) ordered his military to tighter
supervision of the border to bar “infiltrators.”
These Africans, like the Palestinians, are only looking to survive as human beings. Why are they
not being allowed to?
This is this is one of the most unpleasant and pressing question facing Israel at the moment.
Those who wonder why there appear to be no way to envision peace in that small space of holy
land should recognize that being anything but Jewish is unsightly in the State of Israel. In actuality,
Palestinian work force. Their social reality has been proven by the evidence piled glaringly on
them; they were brought there for the socioeconomic progress of Israel. Their presence helped to
obscure the exclusion of the Palestinian workforce in cities live Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. And those
who say that the massive pile of American weaponry is a necessity to maintain Israeli security
should recognize the term for what it is: a euphemism for the domination and termination of those
within the society who cry for justice where very little can be found.
