NO! ISRAEL IS NOT A RACIST PIT.... But then, who needs Jewish darkies when you can bring in Russian goyim by the million?? After all, Israel must care about preserving her "Jewishness".

Excerpted from my previous post:

Those now expressing interest in immigrating are non-Jews concerned that domestic Israeli pressure will lead to a change in the law, he said. The percentage of immigrants from the CIS who are non-Jews has been estimated at between 50 to 70 percent.

State defends slow pace of Ethiopian Falash Mura arrivals

Dan Izenberg

Oct. 2, 2002


Only one-third of the applications by members of the Falash Mura in Ethiopia to immigrate to Israel have been accepted, the state said in a reply to the High Court of Justice.

About 22,000 Falash Mura, or Ethiopian Jews forced to convert generations ago, have congregated in Addis Ababa and in Gondar over the past three years waiting for permission to come to Israel.

The state investigates whether or not applicants are Jewish before allowing them to immigrate according to the Law of Return, or whether they fulfill the criteria of the Law of Entry into the Country or, in certain humanitarian cases, the Law of Citizenship.

The state told the court Wednesday it has accepted 1,200 applications and rejected 2,300. Many other applications are still being processed and the Interior Ministry is waiting for others to complete their conversion procedures before processing them.

The state's reply came in response to a request by Prof. Michael Corinaldi to the High Court of Justice to find the state in contempt of court for failing to fulfill promises it made that were turned into a court decision on March 6, 2002.

According to that decision, the state promised to publish the procedures for processing aliya applications from the Falash Mura in Ethiopia.

In August, hundreds of Ethiopians demonstrated in front of the Prime Minister's Office in Jerusalem against the allegedly slow pace of immigration. Many held up pictures of their relatives still waiting for permission to come.

According to reports, the conditions of the Falash Mura in the unofficial camps set up in Gondar and Addis Ababa are run-down and unhygienic.
