The ambassador of the state of Palestine Dr Tamer Almassri has condemned the exploitation of African emigrants by apartheid Israel through its military recruitment of African asylum seekers to fight in life-threatening operations in Gaza in exchange of permanent residency status in Israel trying to compensate for the great loss in the number of its army a confirmation that Jewish supremacist racism knows no bounds.
Of more than 30,000 African asylum seekers living in Israel and those already on the battle ground in Gaza none of them have been granted permanent status. Israel has also explored the possibility of drafting the children of asylum seekers, who were educated in Israeli schools, into the Israeli occupation army in exchange for granting status to their immediate family members.
“The state of Palestine call on the African Union, African regional bodies, and international rights groups to condemn this crime of extortion on needy people that reflects the racists and Jewish supremacist behavior of apartheid Israel to take the necessary measures to hold the criminal occupation leaders accountable for their serious violations of the laws of war and international and humanitarian law” said Ambassador Dr Tarmer Almassri.
“Apartheid Israel has always treated African emigrants as second class people evidenced by its jails which are built mainly for black people, expulsion of African people as well as humiliation and degradation” added Ambassador Dr Almassri.
In early 2018, Israel adopted a plan to expel tens of thousands of African asylum seekers with the fascist Prime Minister Netanyahu noted that after building the fence on the Egyptian border and deporting some 20,000 African migrants through various deals, Israel had reached the third stage of its efforts – “accelerated removal.”
Israel is thought to be the biggest hub for the illegal global trade in human organs, according to a 2008 investigation by the American CNN network, which also revealed that Israel participated in the theft of organs from dead people for illegal use include those of African emigrants.
Ambassador Almassri implore on African states that have ties with apartheid Israel to reconsider their decisions as Israel is not a partner but intends top exploit Africans which it views as second class citizens.
