What did Israel promise for Obama’s money and why?

Obama paying for African illegals to defecate in Israel’s streets, but much of the money is disappearing
Israel Matzav
In case you’re wondering why many Israelis aren’t happy about our illegal immigrants, take a close look at the picture in the top left corner of this post. It was taken on the streets of Tel Aviv….

The Israeli web site Kr8 (link in Hebrew) reports that the Obama administration is sending between $1,000 and $2,000 per month per illegal immigrant to Israel via the United Nations. Why this money is being sent via the UN is not clear, but what is clear is that a lot of it is being skimmed off the top. Kr8 reports that Israel is paying NIS 1,500 per month for rent, and approximately NIS 180-200 per month for health insurance. Both items should cost a lot more than that.

Moreover, at current exchange rates, $1,000 is approximately NIS 3,850 and $2,000 is double that. An awful lot of money is disappearing. Where is it going? And why is Israel accepting money from the US (and the UN) rather than stopping the inflow of illegal immigrants?

But it gets worse. Kr8 also reports that American tax free foundations (it names the Ford Foundation but there are presumably others) are donating money to the New Israel Fund, which is organizing the illegals. You know, community organizing. Kr8 goes on to speculate about connections between the Ford Foundation and the CIA, and the possibility that the illegals may be used in the future to foment a rebellion against Israel.

And then there is this from JDL UK:

What is fairly well known is that the police bring the ‘refugees’ from the Egypt/Israel border, right up, all the way to south Tel Aviv, the central bus station. But that’s not all. What else is now coming to light, is that with these funds, these illegals are somehow opening businesses and will soon start their own newspaper!

There is further testimony in the audio interview in which it is alleged government inspectors frequently close down illegal Jewish-owned businesses, but not the illegal businesses belonging to the illegal immigrants.

This financial improbability of all this likely hints towards further sources of funding, which as yet are undetected.

The interview to which he refers is with Meir Turgeman. It’s in Hebrew, but I know I have some Israeli readers, so I’m putting a clickable link to it below.

Make sure also to check out Pam Geller at Atlas Shrugs, who has much more on this story.

Finally, for those of you who think that those who oppose having the illegals here are racists, we have absorbed thousands of Ethiopian Jews over the last 25 years, and none of us would propose sending them back.

  1. @ Hugo Schmidt-Fischer:
    You are absolutely right, if Israel isn’t proactive about their survival, they will be exterminated. Why would you allow people into a fragile country to create chaos and disorder. I trust absolutely NOTHING that the UN does, they have shown their colors in regards to Israel since Israel was created. The jews in Israel are a whole lot smarter than the Jews in the U.S. because we sh ould all be up in arms regarding sharia being supported by some or our courts.

  2. wow!
    @alexis, rongrand and yamit:
    having myself four cats (wow, yamit, do they roam your abode or are all living outside?) and being an animal lover i just ‘had to’ join you guys 🙂
    one of my cats, ‘dante’, is as big as a maine coon cat…
    we might get a bernese mountain dog as well…
    and…
    sorry to post this link. my apologies to ALL animal lovers, but here is YET ANOTHER reason (like i don’t have enough) to absolutely hate islam with every fiber of my body:

  3. @ Alexis:

    I should correct myself, actually Buster was not a big lab, smaller than most but small in comparison to both the briards.

    BTW, I was stationed in Maine many years ago and I never heard of a Main Coon Cat.

  4. I have a mixed breed part Rottweiler, part shepherd about 15 cats(HELP)and half an Arabian Horse.

  5. @ rongrand: Most people don’t think of labs as “small dogs”!

    Our family also loves big dogs…and medium dogs…pretty much all animals, when you come right down to it. I’ll see if I can change my avatar to show Sorcha the Newfoundland and Pollux the Maine Coon cat.

  6. @ Alexis:

    Alexis, our family also love big dogs. We had several Briards weighing over 100 lbs. Very agile and very protective of the family.

    Unfortunately they have to be socialized as they become very leery of strangers and must be restrained.

    The only small dog we had was a black Lab named Buster. My youngest son purchased him while he was a student at LSU years ago and when he arrived home my wife decided Buster would be better off at home with us rather than at school.

    The truth of the matter she fell in love with Buster.

  7. He’s a Bernese Mountain Dog. They’re cousins of the Saint Bernards; somewhat smaller bones, pointier faces, darker fur. They were bred to pull milk carts in the Swiss Alps. He weighs over 100 pounds but seems unaware of being ‘big’. Thank you for asking about him.

  8. @ Alexis:

    Sylvester, the lapdog, is very much real.

    Must be his lap, he looks big enough. 😉

    What is he a St Bernard? Avatar too small to make out details.

  9. @ Gary:

    Ted, there is a lot of racism against Ethiopian Jews in Israel. It’s not everyone by any means, but it can’t be denied. There is no way to look at last week’s riots as anything other than racist. Danny Danon may not be racist, but those people breaking into stores sure are.

    Watch maybe you will learn something!!!

    Ethiopian Jews in Israel Getting Education in the High Tech Field

    There is always some discrimination against the newest mass immigration even in America but it’s not racism it’s cultural.

  10. @ Alexis:

    Is that a real or stuffed dog?

    Religious Jews believe that “The G-d of History, the G-d of the Jewish people, called the world into being for one reason only and that was for the sake of the Jewish people and the Torah of Israel. All that occurs, all the eruptions of wars and catastrophes, the rise and fall of empires, have no meaning except that they affect the fortunes or misfortunes of the Jewish people. The Jewish nation is indeed, the heart of the world and there is no reason for the existence of empires, kings, rulers, masses or systems aside from their reaction to the Jewish people. This is the meaning of the destiny of the Jew and that destiny is a guaranteed one.

    There is a guarantee, a solemn oath, a surety, a divine bond that the Jewish people cannot be ever destroyed but rather that they and their G-d will emerge in days to come triumphant over the evils and the foolishness of all other nations. Zion will and must emerge as the mount to which all peoples will turn and the Jewish L-rd will be the One before Whom all knees bend. Jerusalem must be rebuilt as the throne of the world and the Exile must end with all Jews returning in glory and majesty to their land and a peace based upon acceptance of the kingship of the L-rd.”

    Yeah I know this will piss off a lot of Gentiles and even lot of Jews. Tough.

  11. @ BlandOatmeal:

    You make a lot of assumptions many I must say are wrong. Most of the Africans especially from Eritrea are educated and some are even Christians.

    Most are not refugees but job seekers much like your Mexican illegals to which I’ve heard you have well over 20 million and counting just of Mexicans. There are probably many millions more from other countries as well including HOW MANY TERRORISTS? People living in glass houses should not throw stones.

    They have abandoned the Bible and pursued relativism. They are morally and intellectually at sea. I wonder how many tractates of Talmud are devoted to the “deep spiritual issues” involved here. “Is it more profitable to holiness, to have someone poop on you, or to tell him to use the toilet?” That might fill volumes with contradictory opinions! Maybe it’s in Talmud already.

    Actually the Talmud deals with personal hygiene and when your ancestors were still living in trees and caves and fornicating with beasts, mine were practicing very modern hygiene. You should read what the Talmud has to say about your beliefs and the dead guy you worship. I will say this he said nothing about personal hygiene it it took you Pagans almost 20 centuries to learn it and catch up to but not surpass the Jews at least in the personal hygiene dept. I hear that the French and British still have an aversion to bathing.

  12. The South Sudanese, for the most part, have no toilets; so it is natural for them to defecate in the street. It is up to the government of Israel, to set public health standards and ENFORCE them. Israel has not done this, and Israel is to blame. Stop passing the buck about the guy in the picture. The Israeli people, AND the Israeli government that they elected,, don’t know right from wrong, nor up from down. If they can’t even agree on whether Jews have the right to live in every part of Israel (duh!), I’m not surprised they can’t agree on whether it’s politically correct or not to instruct refugees not to poop in the street. Israelis have no real standards, health-wise or otherwise. They have abandoned the Bible and pursued relativism. They are morally and intellectually at sea. I wonder how many tractates of Talmud are devoted to the “deep spiritual issues” involved here. “Is it more profitable to holiness, to have someone poop on you, or to tell him to use the toilet?” That might fill volumes with contradictory opinions! Maybe it’s in Talmud already.

  13. Being right wing or conservative does not mean not criticizing Israel ever. Right wingers around the world, including myself, are still angry about the Gaza withdrawal and the subsequent treatment of the Gush Katif population. Zionism needs some amount of criticism and self reflection to grow and adapt. Beinhart and his ilk take it to absurd degrees and positions, but their greatest danger may be to the ability of real Zionists to engage in self reflection.

    A real Zionist would not support the invasion of thousands of illegal non-Jewish aliens into Israel.

  14. Israel cannot properly take care of the the Jewish refugees who fled from arab countries and those expelled from gaza and yet it now seeks to settle the world. Camps should be set up on the gaza and sinai borders so that the “refugees” cannot fully enter Israel. as the UN refugee agencies are in gaza that might be a good place to send them and then we can see how it is handled by the UN and Hamas.

  15. Do we have a right to say, we are a people. A particular people. And this is our land, in which we live. This land has been promised, has been vouchsafed, to us, to live in under certain terms and conditions which are spelled out in the Book which we hold sacred. Our Book does not say that we must open our borders and offer our succor and care to everyone who for whatever reason wants or feels a need to come here. It does not say we must parcel off pieces of our inheritance to satisfy the national aspirations of other nations, be they friend or foe, real or fabricated.

    No one else on this earth needs to believe in our peoplehood, our history, our heritage, our Book. Or in our relationship with HaShem and with our Land. No one else. Not the EU and not the USA and not the UN. Only we, the Children of Israel, need to know this and believe it; and act accordingly.

    Do we have a right to be who we are? No. Not from the rest of the world. There is no such right accorded us from any government or body in the world; nor does anyone have the power to do so. This right comes from one place only. And to this source–and to no one else–we must remain faithful, and must answer.

    We may be kind to guests within our borders. But we cannot–we must not–allow them to profane or subvert the Land which has been entrusted to us. This has absolutely nothing to do with what ‘race’ they are. It is about this being OUR land, and who we are. And we can stop waiting for the world to give us permission to say this. The world never will. It doesn’t matter. It has already been told to us by the only One Who counts.

    when I was a kid I went to dance classes and we did the foxtrot and tango. Don’t know the dance called the whiskey, though.
    i hope you are right yamit, and the people will take the trash out.
    ALL OF IT! (the ‘invented people’ included, of course.)

  17. Yeah, but they won’t know what to do with the toilets in the cell…they’ll probably go over the drain in the floor.

    Police did not bother to try to understand the Jew, a recent immigrant who spoke with a heavy accent, and dropped their investigation. Even in the unlikely event that the Africans are arrested, they will only spend two to three years in comfortable jail cells.

    If the government does not deport them soon the people will take matters in their own hands. It will not be pretty.

  18. @ yamit82:

    So, the Africans are friending Bibi?

    They don’t even know about toilets …how are they going to understand Facebook?

  19. I took the trouble to identify exactly what took place in the “riots”. There were a couple of windows broken and a car containing 3 migrants was attacked (we don’t know if there was a provocation) and one guy got hurt. Not exactly a riot and not equal to the rapes and assaults perpetrated on Jews. It is what it is and no more. The real outrage that the GOI has been asleep at the wheel. Pious pronouncements mean nothing. Action. Action, Action.

  20. The longer you let them stay, the more entrenched they become, as here in the States with the “Hispanics”…

  22. BB lies once again!

    Netanyahu’s office has a habit of misrepresenting figures, which recently caused a minor scandal when he boosted the number of his Facebook fans. This time, it’s about the Africans.

    The PMO has announced the deportation of 7,000 migrants. That number, however, includes recent years and all kinds of migrants, both from Africa and the West Bank. The Africans, for their part, were mostly returned to Egypt immediately upon crossing the Israeli border. Out of those who managed to get into Israel, 3,000 at most were deported. No fewer than 60,000 remain.

  23. @ Ted Belman:

    Drunk Jews in Tel Aviv beat an old man from Africa

    Disgusting, huh? In fact, the opposite thing happened: a bunch of African illegals, unemployed but drunk, beat a fifty-eight-year-old Jew with sticks. The Jews were simply sitting on the bench near the Central bus station.

    Police did not bother to try to understand the Jew, a recent immigrant who spoke with a heavy accent, and dropped their investigation. Even in the unlikely event that the Africans are arrested, they will only spend two to three years in comfortable jail cells.

    If the government does not deport them soon the people will take matters in their own hands. It will not be pretty.

  24. Ted Belman Said:

    We do have an obligation to offer asylum to each individual in our country who can prove he is likely to be killed if sent back.

    Well, yes and no.

    The refugees may be fleeing war and carnage. But if they instal murder and rape in Israel, there is no obligation to put up with them.

    If you are good to cruel people, you become cruel to good people. It goes two ways. You cannot claim protection from the horrors at home, and victimize your hosts at the same time. At that point, your right for asylum is void.

  25. I’m a liberal? That’s the first time anyone has ever, in my entire life, accused me of that. I’m generally called something along the lines of a right wing, zionazi talmudic jewish fascist who sleeps in the blood of Arab children, and on occasion a paid hasbara agent. Also, I happen to live in Israel, so I’m not a ‘world away.’

    With all that out of the way, there is no denying that there is racism against the Ethiopians in Israel. There is a lot of evidence that employers are as unlikely to hire them as they are Hareidim or Israeli Arabs and polls to that effect. That does not make the government racist, but it shows a level of racism among the population that is still too high. Thankfully that sort of racism is not considered acceptable like antisemitism wasn’t after the Holocaust.

    I don’t care what crimes these Africans commited. What happened last week was nothing less than a race riot, and should be treated as such. That many of them will have to be deported is a decision I’ll trust this government to make; certainly any of them who have raped or murdered should be deported.

    Being right wing or conservative does not mean not criticizing Israel ever. Right wingers around the world, including myself, are still angry about the Gaza withdrawal and the subsequent treatment of the Gush Katif population. Zionism needs some amount of criticism and self reflection to grow and adapt.

  26. The Israeli web site Kr8 (link in Hebrew) reports that the Obama administration is sending between $1,000 and $2,000 per month per illegal immigrant to Israel via the United Nations. Why this money is being sent via the UN is not clear, but what is clear is that a lot of it is being skimmed off the top. Kr8 reports that Israel is paying NIS 1,500 per month for rent, and approximately NIS 180-200 per month for health insurance. Both items should cost a lot more than that.

    This is part of the strategy being used by the Obama administration, State Department and UN in their ongoing war for the obliteration of the Jewish state. If they can’t force Israel to surrender enough territory to create indefensible borders, allow the “right of return” to fakestinians or prevent Israel from stopping Iran’s quest to wipe Israel off the map, then they hope that overwhelming it with African refugees will eventually destroy Israel through internal mayhem.

  27. Do not lose sight of the fact that the Africans entered illegally.
    Israel has no obligation to offer sanctuary for economic migrants. They should be sent back.
    We do have an obligation to offer asylum to each individual in our country who can prove he is likely to be killed if sent back.
    Israel has embraced many Vietnamese and Ethiopians. Stop smearing us with charges of racism.

  28. Gary is a typical liberal who supports the influx of illegal aliens because it has no negative effect on him personally, being comfortably a world away from the situation. It would never occur to liberals that the objection to these illegal aliens has anything to do with the behavior of the illegals themselves, such as robbing, raping and defecating on the streets. It is always assumed to be racism, projecting the liberals own obsession with race.

  29. Jewish sensitivity to charges of racism is used by the Left to divert attention from major issues in Israel.

    It happened as a result of Jewish attacks on Africans during a demonstration.

    The media made the public forget the main problem for a while – the African invasion – because they were highlighting “racist acts” and “racist statements” by MKs.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~

    I posted a comment on this subject several hours ago, still to be moderated.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Implications of 1) US government money having some part in the Israeli government’s inaction at the African invasion, and 2) South Sudanese government money helping their people get established in Israel, while police do nothing about their illegal businesses, are nothing less than a BOMBSHELL.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    People use the word racism to cover a wide variety of attitudes.

    Caution regarding those who are not “like us” is ingrained in our DNA. It’s common to all living creatures. It’s a way for each species, each pack, each flock, each family, of protecting themselves.

    Can you imagine a sheep saying to another, Oh, darling, don’t be prejudiced, he’s just a wolf. Different colour, different shape, but a fellow mammal, after all. Let’s just let him in.

    Idealists have the notion that we can somehow force the eradication of “racist” feelings just because they are not nice.

    We all have preferences.

    What is not nice is to use inflammatory language.

    But it’s perfectly nice to say, Sorry, this is a Jewish country, and considering our history, and considering yours, we are asking you to leave. And if you don’t, we’ll just have to make arrangements for your involuntary departure. These are our immigration laws – for everyone.

    You will not be throwing them into certain harm. Many of them had been living in Egypt for years.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    By the way, ALL politicians are still dithering. Nobody mentions that UNRWA’s job is to look after refugees. Why not hand all those Africans who claim refugee status over to them?

    Israel’s enemies are filling a vacuum of ideas in the meantime, and are supporting long term solutions, such as a fence. Thus making sure that nothing is done. And keeping those already in Israel, giving them jobs, residence, and so on.

    While thousands of Africans are already in Sinai, heading for Israel’s border.

  30. @ Gary:

    What policies are in place that discriminate against Ethiopian Jews??

    Do Israelis constantly have to fill out bubbles that correspond to their melanin levels?? Does Israel have massive governmental bureaucracies dedicated to racial discrimination based on melanin levels?

    The US has both of course, and godforbid you recommend that the government do away with both…

  31. One important point is that South Sudan has or will soon have tons of oil money. There may be influential people in Israel who may want to get into serious business with South Sudan.

    WHO KNOWS what kind of arrangement they may already have with the South Sudanese government.

    Let’s not forget that some influential interests are at the moment making big profits by doing brisk business with both the PA and Gaza. David Bedein has reported about this.

    And Israel just won bids to reconstruct Gaza. (The parts that the IDF demolished!!!! It just can’t get more absurd than this.)

    http://www.timesofisrael.com/israeli-companies-win-un-bids-to-reconstruct-gaza-angering-palestinians/

    AND those same influential interests make sure that the government keeps the PA more or less happy (fewer roadblocks, TLC for terrorists, land for their future Nazi-Arab state), and that Gaza does not get pounded, except for a tunnel here and there, and that goods flow uninterrupted both ways.

    Could it be that those same interests are telling the government, Listen, just don’t send those Sudanese back yet and turn a blind eye to their activities because we have a very special relationship going with the South Sudanese government and we stand to make tons of money there.

    We know that all governments listens to Big Business and set policy according to their interests. (Neither Congre$$ nor the White Hou$e went after the criminals who caused the financial meltdown.)

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In the meantime the South Sudanese government finances the establishment of their colony in Israel, helps them set up business, and so on. As the article on JDL says, the Sudanese government has an coordinating office in Tel Aviv.

    http://www.jdl-uk.org/2012/05/obamas-pet-project-illegal-immigration.html

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    But that’s only one part of it.

    The White House has had a policy of never letting a good crisis (Israel’s in this case) go to waste, so why not use the same demographic weapon that is destroying Europe against Israel this time?

    How about using hordes of Africans to overwhelm Israel and destabilize it even further? In the name of humanitarian concern, of course.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    So, this confluence of different interests is bearing down on the Israeli government and the result is COMPLETE INACTION leading to the Africanization of Israel. There are literally hundreds of thousands of them waiting to get into Israel over the next few years. Their cute little children will be born in Israel and speak Hebrew. Who would have the heart to send them back???

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Let’s add one more item here to demonstrate how all this is part of an active campaign to destroy Israel from within – by government inaction or under the guise of humanitarian concern.

    Illegal Entry: No Need to Sneak In, Just Take the Bus

    PA Arabs are able to enter Israel illegally without cutting through fences, simply by getting on public transport.

    PA Arabs are able to travel to the heart of central Israel without the need to go through any security checks, simply by boarding a bus.

    At no point were the PA passengers’ identity cards or bags checked, he said. Some openly carried sharp tools, while others had large closed sacks.

    The Afikim bus company is obligated to abide by the rules set by the Transportation Ministry, among them Article 434, which requires drivers to provide transport to any passenger who purchases a ticket. There cannot be discrimination.

    http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/155756

  32. There never was a problem of racism, and there is no racism in Israel now.

    Begin invited Vietnamese boat-people refugees to Israel 30 years ago, and they were absorbed very well. The problem with the current wave is that they misbehave, create violent crimes, and simply have no place in civilzed order.

    They must be returned post haste

  33. Ted, there is a lot of racism against Ethiopian Jews in Israel. It’s not everyone by any means, but it can’t be denied. There is no way to look at last week’s riots as anything other than racist. Danny Danon may not be racist, but those people breaking into stores sure are.
