Israel’s left-wing secular libertarians have found a new cause, taking a break from their usual chareidi bashing to save the underprivileged Eritreans and Sudanese illegals that have overrun southern Tel Aviv and part of Eilat. The illegal aliens are responsible for the alarming increase in violent attacks and burglaries in those areas. The Israeli left is leading the battle to protect them from deportation after the Justice Ministry has announced there is nothing preventing the state from ousting them since they entered the country illegally.

One need only visit the area of the old Tel Aviv central bus station and one can immediately understand what has occurred. The area is crime ridden and few travel there unless there is an absolute necessity due to the harsh reality and the dangers that lurk.

After the recent violent assaults against women, the matter of the 60,000 or more illegals has earned a prominent spot in the national media and lawmakers are compelled to act and act immediately as the public outcry becomes increasingly audible.

The cabinet has already signaled approval for the mass deportation of illegal Eritrean nationals and this decision now enjoys the support of Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein. The liberals feel that “The Jews know firsthand what it feels like to be targeted by discrimination and we mustn’t do the same to others”, demanding the government find a housing and employment solution for them, insisting they are only involved in crime due to their desperate financial state. They do not seem to have an explanation to explain the violent assaults against women however, which they prefer to ignore.

The Minister of Public Security is meeting with senior staff and advisors today, Thursday, 3 Sivan 5772 to evaluate the situation and to discuss the possibility of placing a company of border policemen in southern Tel Aviv in an attempt to return a semblance of law and order to the area.

MK (Likud) Danny Danon is spearheading the “Deportation Now” effort to get rid of the violent illegals without further delay. “We are at war with an enemy nation, the illegals, who have taken over southern Tel Aviv and we must deport them before it is too late. The Sudanese to Sudan and the remainder to their African nations and/or Eastern Europe”, stated Danon.

Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai is calling upon the government to decide, to either deport them or make arrangements to permit them to live as they should. He told Israel Radio that either provide them with the ability to earn a living, or make arrangements or oust them but the current situation is absurd. “On the one hand they cannot work legally and this simply leads to a population of criminals that must steal to earn food to eat”.

Some experts explain that the illegals literally walk to Israel, paying smugglers thousands of dollars since they know there is work to be found in Israel. Therefore, they feel they must learn there is no work, no quality of life, just deportation.
