The second issue is important as it demonstrates the inability of police to deal with professional crimes with white gloves. Forbidden from planting evidence or applying pressure to suspects, and facing the highest standards of doubt in the courts, the police cannot prove their accusations in cases where robbers have worn masks and gloves. Alternatively, the police can charge them with other offenses, which usually carry lesser sentences.

The low number of indictments also reflects a cozy relationship between police and criminal gangs, one in which control is deemed more important than crackdown.

There is another dimension to the problem. Bank protection is very expensive compared to other police activities. Why should society expend disproportionate resources on protecting banks, which are perfectly capable of arranging their own security?

It remains a mystery why bringing up a child—itself a major violation of the work visa terms—rectifies the aliens’ illegal status. They can perfectly enjoy their family ties back in the Philippines.

The story is probably another lie, because the girls’ story does not hold up. But there is a more important issue here. When confronted with cases of blood libel against Jews, notably the Beilin affair, Zeev Zhabotinsky insisted that Jews should not beat drums defending the accused in the court of public opinion. His reasoning was that while Beilin might be innocent, some other Jews in other circumstances might be guilty. We are entitled to our fair share of scoundrels.

We can make a similar argument about rabbis. Yes, some of them can be criminals, but that does not reflect on the credibility of rabbis as a group. No one makes fuss when an atheist is charged with rape, and every atheist insists that morality is innate to man rather than rooted in religion. Thus, rape is abhorrent to religious Jews and atheists alike. So yes, a certain rabbi may prove to be a rapist, but that’s just like saying that a certain person is charged with rape; his rabbinical affiliation is irrelevant.

A wall will be built in Sinai to stop immigration. Don’t forget, though, that the Bedouins and Gazans have mastered tunneling, and the Palestinians have learned to scale the separation barrier. Thus, while the wall will make infiltration more difficult, it will not stop it.

The government will separate the Sudanese and Eritreans from other illegals. The Sudanese and Eritreans will be treated as potential refugees. That’s an extremely dangerous position because we will thus end up admitting them indefinitely. South Sudan is independent country now, so let them go home. More importantly, the Jewish state simply cannot accept foreign refugees in droves. Let them stay in Egypt, which they passed through on their way to Israel.

The government is also considering transferring some refugees back to Africa, which for media reasons cannot be a wide-scale program.

Those who employ the illegals will face sanctions, which will only make matters worse by forcing them to turn to charities.

Illegals can now be detained for three years. This is also wrong, because we will be spending $2,000 per month on each of them to keep them in what they consider resort-like conditions.

The government shrinks from the only practical solution, which is to transfer all the Africans to UNRWA camps in Gaza.

But what is the alternative? Africans are flocking to Israel at the rate of more than two thousand every month. They already constitute 2 percent of our population. They are a backbone of crime, which kills more people here than the number of Africans killed in Sinai. Their community is ridden with HIV, which they often pass on to Jewish women by rape.

So we would like to thank the Egyptians for doing the job the Israeli government does not let our troops do properly.

For that many people to pass, the border must be wide open. It would be too easy to argue that the hordes of illegals include black Muslims and other potential terrorists. But even if there are no actual terrorists among them, these illegals terrorize the populations of Eilat, South Tel Aviv, and other areas where the government dumps them.

Instead of firmly preventing infiltration, the government builds detention centers for them. Which is stupid: surely they won’t be detained forever, and in any case they will prefer all-expenses-paid detention in Israel to life in their villages in Africa.

By now, the most conservative estimates put the number of African illegals in Israel (besides the Falash Mura, who are pagan Christians-turned-Jews) at 80,000. They have no skills for productive work, their communities are ridden with HIV, and they are a major criminal element in the country. Yet the government refuses to take the sensible step of deporting them to UNRWA camps in Gaza and Lebanon.

As an extenuating circumstance, she mentions that the child attended Israeli public kindergarten for a year. But why do illegals have access to publicly funded schools? Why did the authorities allow the illegals to enjoy public goods instead of reporting them to the police for deportation? The children of illegals attend Israeli public schools, enjoy free healthcare, and whatever other perks stupid Jews can offer.

To make matters worse, the Israeli Supreme Court struck down the law that revoked the work permits of illegals who bear children in Israel.

The Israeli government has chosen to ignore the fact that their refugee status—which was never granted in the first place—is now moot, meaning that they must be deported immediately. Israeli media underreported the number of celebrants, claiming there were only ‘hundreds.’
