“We all wish we didn’t have to build such a facility. But we’re in a certain situation due to certain circumstances, and we need a facility to address these needs.”-unnamed Israeli Defense official
According to an article in The Independent, Israel is about to build the World’s largest “detention center”, designed to hold 8,000 Black African “migrants”!
“[it was time]…to stop this growing influx that threatens Israelis’ jobs and changes the character of the state.”-Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel
Most of the migrants are actually fleeing the wars in Sudan and Eritrea. Israel has a policy of not returning refugees fleeing wars, so now they’ve decided to put them all in prison!
“People fleeing for their lives… will not stop coming because they face three years in detention.”-Reut Michaeli, Hotline for Migrant Workers
I wounder how many U.S. tax dollars are going to be used to build this World’s largest immigrant detention center?
