Netanyahu is doing to Palestine (and Muslims) the same thing Putin is doing to Ukraine (and Ukrainians) yet the former is lauded while the latter is (rightfully) demonised.
Major difference: Palestinians are brown. Ukrainians are white.
Now you know why the West cares about one and not the other.
A PoC podcast host that I listen to kept asking guests (it’s a political show) if they thought that explained the difference in response during the first weeks of the war. Nice reminder of this salient fact.
Netanyahu looks to deport Eritreans after hundreds of refugees, police officers injured in Tel Aviv riot
imagine if other countries deported people of all one ethnicity after a group of them rioted
I read the article but I’m uneducated on this topic. It said their government is pursuing asylum seekers. That sounds pretty terrible. My partner escaped her country as an asylum seeker after government persecution. Is this accurate as I’ve described my interpretation?
Most of these people claim to be asylum seekers, but in reality are closer to economic immigrants. Similar to immigrants along the Southern US border or Middle Eastern immigrants crossing the Turkish border into Greece.
Eritrea is a cesspit filled with human rights abuses.
Do you have any source to support your claim that people leaving are ‘economic immigrants’? Whatever that means.
To give context of just how bad Eritrea is, it often ranks as worse than North Korea when it comes to human rights abuse
This is the valuable one liner that I was looking for. Thanks!
To be a refugee, you must stop at the closest safe country and apply for asylum. From Eritrea, safe countries can include South to Djibouti, and North to Egypt. Continuing on into Israel and Tel Aviv not only violates this rule but also brings you to a less safe area. Eritreans in Israel are not legal refugees, but more likely anti-israeli / pro-paledtinian fighters.
This follows violence at Eritrean events in Germany, Sweden, and Canada this year.
