82. note the article a comment said, the immigrants wern't Jewish. Open immigration to all in Israel

Tue Jan 29, 2013, 11:46 AM

Jan 2013

There probably is a racist and religious problem/issue, with some immigrants being resented by some of the citizens of Israel. Not really Jewish and/or a racist issue due to skin color.

Education is the key here..people of Jewish background escaped/moved/traveled/settled around the entire world. Even well before Hitler exterminated 2 million Jews, this was a religion that traveled, escaped, spread out across the world for thousands of years. Some had to hide practice of their faith to survive.

Notice how fast the Israel Leadership worked out the issue. Very different than the history of countries like america,germany,UK, what they did to races or people they didn't want to reproduce stayed for decades.

I think Israel as a whole will work this issue out inspite of the popular media bought out by outside interests. Outside interests who would profit huge if Israel got nuked, if the middle east became another WW zone, or we had global race wars.
