What began as a small protest march quickly gained momentum as thousands of Sudanese and Eritrean nationals living illegally in Israel marched in Tel Aviv. They marched along Rothschild, Allenby and other streets shouting “freedom, not prison” as they demand asylum in Israel. They are seeking legal status instead of being imprisoned and held in a large southern detention center.
This large march in Tel Aviv follows a recent symbolic protest held in Jerusalem outside the Prime Minister’s Office.

Conquering the Palestinians and taking their property is dubious for many reasons, but at least one can argue that Jews are asserting some ancient right based on our ancestors living in Israel (or based on Ha-Shem giving us the land, though that gift was conditional on being frum which most Israelis are not). However taking the land from the Palestinians and replacing them with people for eastern Africa seems amazingly hard to defend. The Israelis should refer their asylum requests to the Palestinians.
Where are the Cossacks? Oh, wait they are reserved for the Datim and Charadim.
