Debbie Herdan is a former Tel Aviv resident who was very active in the
organization Hagar and Miriam, which works with African women in Is-
rael who are either pregnant or have recently given birth. Debbie worked
with Eritrean, Sudanese and Darfurian asylum seekers for several years
and writes that they became like family to her.
She passed on the following messages encouraging people in Israel to come
out to a rally on December 24th in Tel Aviv (corner of Roth- schild and Shei-
nkin at 10 am, for those who want to attend).
The occasion is the declared intention of the State of Israel to require refugees
to live in a refugee camp (run by the Prison Service).
African refugees in Tel Aviv at a protest against deportation From Alma Zohar:
Hello everyone, In the Jewish state, they are about to finally establishing a refu-
gee ghetto in which to imprison black refugees. Don’t let the name ‘refugee camp’
fool you, by making you believe that such a camp will act as a leading humanita-
rian assistance centre for the refugees.
The camp that they are setting up in the south of Israel is an IMPRISONMENT
CAMP, designed to isolate an unwanted part of society. In other places, this is kn-
own as a “ghetto.” They will probably also be coerced to work.
Those who are against this but stay quiet are not any less to blame. The Jews of
Israel must wake up!!! We won’t be able to help everyone, but that’s not a reason
not to help anyone! We need to ensure that the refugees that are in Israel are allo-
wed to work.
Recently Israel has denied permission for refugees to work, which will force them
to be thrown to the streets. This has been done to worsen their situation, to the point
that they will have no opportunity to support themselves in such minimalistic condi-
tions. Either they must choose to leave, or else turn to a life of crime and prostitution.
We need to get up off our backsides and come to the protest on Friday (24/12) at Gan
Meir!!! There are enough sane, humane, and logical ways to deal with these problems.
We will not allow a detention camp for black refugees to be established in the state of
Israel.
Not as long as I am a part of it. Not under my watch.
Looking forwards to seeing you there, Alma Zohar
