    'Leave the country or go to jail'. This is the stark choice that thousands of Eritrean and Sudanese asylum seekers are facing in Israel. 📻pic.twitter.com/jBjY36E3sO

        Israel doesnt take refugees except for jews. That should not be news to anyone.

        Not true. When I visited, I was told that they’re more inclined to take in Ashkenazi/Sephardic Jews, as opposed to East African Jews.

        You're quite right; they only want white people, whether Jew or of another religion. Israel expels African Jews, because Zionism is a white supremacist ideology, and tries to links itself to Judaism because it thinks it can get away with anything, playing on holocaust sympathy.

        I think they only want European Jews, no other religions regardless of race. I was surprised to see how well Christians & Muslims got along, I even saw a Christian school in Palestine. I guess they stick together because they’re minorities.

        One would think if any country well comprehended the need for refuge, it would be Israel.

        Pretty heartless for a country that was started by asylum seekers. Racism sent jews to gas chambers & now they are being racist #Shame

        @EdgarCLungu @PaulKagame @edmnangagwa our African leaders should stand up and condemn this treatment to Africans by Israel.

        As I said no where is perfect but to make broad sweeping generalisations about the state of illegal immigration centres across Europe just exacerbates the problem. Focus on particular cases not generalisations.

        Interesting: @BBC tailors its stance on issues to suit what it perceives to be its largest audience. I noticed @BBCArabic was sympathetic with the complexity of the Palestinian problems in Shishani's Gaza report. Whereas, @BBCNews is evidently shared with US, so ignores Pal..

        Isn't it ironic that the jews are the ones without compassion.Why Isreal can't accept more refugees bothers me.
