Forward Magazine, the largest Jewish publication in the world, recently bragged that American Jews are on the forefront of supporting immigration in the United States. Israel, however, has decided to close it’s own borders to the 3rd world.
The Israel government has announced that it can not longer cope with Ethiopian immigrants, and will close it’s border to them. Ethiopian leaders in Israel are crying “racism.â€ÂBut the Ethiopian community of about 120,000 immigrants and their descendants is the poorest sector of the Israeli Jewish population and is beset by unemployment and school drop-out rates, although there have also been success stories.
In an affirmative action to make up for their impoverished background the government has underwritten their mortgages.
