Israel is recruiting African refugees for “life-threatening” operations in Gaza in exchange for settled status in the country, sources have revealed. There are approximately 30,000 African asylum seekers in Israel. They have faced growing pressure from anti-immigrant politicians, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who regularly refers to them as “infiltrators”.
One man interviewed by Haaretz, who ultimately chose not to enlist, recounted being approached by a security official to join the war effort. The official explained that after a two-week training period, he would be deployed alongside other asylum seekers.
Haaretz noted that the “manner in which the Israeli army deploys the asylum seekers is barred from publication” due to restrictions imposed by the Israeli military censor.
Want to bet how many of them actually get status? My bet is zero. They will just be redeployed until they die in Gaza. And ones that do get out will not get status on a technicality.
This is a win-win for Israel. Fewer asylum seekers, and fewer Israelis (the good, white kind) die.
This is so depressing 😔
Like Russia does? Aggressive dictatorships seem alike each other.
Exactly my thought.
Russia dupes people into becoming mercenaries. Israel dupes people after they become mercenaries. It’s called worlds most moral army for a reason.
Like Russia does?
Israel and Russia remain close geopolitical allies.
Basically what the French did to Haiti, several centuries ago. Kill off all the native peoples and bring in a slave population to handle the manual labor.
