ISRAEL IS RECRUITING AFRICAN ASYLUM SEEKERS FOR LIFE-THREATENING GAZA WAR
OPERATIONS, PROMISING PERMANENT LEGAL STATUS

Israeli security officials are offering the incentive of permanent residency
status to asylum seekers who agree to participate in sometimes life-threatening
military operations in Gaza. Sources say that internal criticism of this
exploitation has been silenced: 'This is a very problematic matter'

Israel's defense establishment is offering African asylum seekers who contribute
to the war effort in Gaza – risking their lives – assistance in obtaining
permanent status in Israel. This, according to personal accounts obtained by
Haaretz.

Hamas freedom fighters should consider applying! LOL! : They'd get recognition
of their rights in Palestine by their very enemy and equalise the odds from
within the ranks of the ISF (the Israel Slaughter Forces) by creating some well
deserved confusion in the occupier's ranks...

If I remember correctly, two weeks was also the training period allowed by
Iranian Revolutionary Guards to Afghan refugees willing to go fight for Bashar
against the Islamic State and other insurgent groups in Syria in exchange, what
else, of promises of citizenship that weren't worth a spit in the bucket. I'm
surprised at how little attention is paid to parallels between some of the
tactics by the Israeli government in the Gaza War and Bashar's government during
the Syrian Civil War.

Besides cushioning the Haredim, this could well be the Israeli government's way
of trying to kill off its undesirables. As for those who would pull through
unscathed, yes, there is that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, but either
the rainbow will dissipate, or the pot fall in bureaucratic quicksand where it
becomes unretrievable.

Do remember that the United States' army also offers a fast track to citizenship
to immigrants who agree to serve. Israel is not unique in this.
It is not enforced servitude in either case.

Aha, but Israel "improved" on this. It dangles fast track "status" (whatever
that is) before extremely vulnerable people then yanks it away after they serve.
Who are you kidding, Lynn? You engage in typical Israeli denial and hasbara.

Big difference between immigrants offered a fast track to citizenship in the US
after enlisting and training alongside US citizens, and asylum seekers put out
on the front line in Gaza after 2 weeks 'training' with a vague promise of some
sort of residency if they survive.

The IDF's ingeniousness has no limits when the contempt for non-Israeli-Jewish
lives is concerned. Every time one thinks they can't sink deeper they suprise
humanity by doing exactly that. And now the African asylum seekers. Exploiting
the dispair of others (non-Israeli-Jews) has unfortunately become a lasting
trademark of Israeli society.
