"Africans hoping for refuge in Israel take perilous path; Guards shooting Muslim migrants at Egypt’s border" by Sudarsan Raghavan, Washington Post | November 15, 2009
CAIRO - Driven by fear, persecution, and economic woes, hundreds of Muslim African migrants are embarking on perilous journeys to seek asylum and jobs in Israel.

Anat Ben-Dor, a refugee rights lawyer in Israel, said many African asylum seekers have been treated for gunshot wounds in Israeli hospitals. Most reported being shot by Egyptian guards, though she said she was aware of three killed by Israeli soldiers....
Israeli soldiers have forcibly returned scores of migrants to Egypt without allowing them to file asylum claims, according to statements in an ongoing Israeli high court case challenging the legality of such deportations. At the same time, Israel has granted temporary visas for thousands of asylum seekers, especially those who face persecution in their homelands. Those allowed to stay remain in legal limbo for years....
Yeah, Israel's the REFUGE for the WORLD, huh?
So WHEN they going to start TAKING PALESTINIANS BACK, huh?
As the numbers have risen, so has the danger. The border is one of the deadliest transit points in the world, according to rights activists and witnesses. The rise in violence coincides with increasing security concerns for Egypt. It faces heavy US and Israeli pressure to stop the smuggling of arms to militants in the Gaza Strip.
Yup, EGYPT is PICKING OFF AFRICAN REFUGEES -- assassinating them -- because USRAEL DEMANDS IT!
Egyptian authorities are also increasingly concerned about preventing Islamist radicals from entering their country.
I am SO TIRED of the "terror" fraud!!!!

Sadiq Sahour slowly recounted a story he has carefully kept hidden from his daughter. It began in an unforgiving desert in Sudan, where he and his wife, Hadja, escaped militiamen who razed their ancestral village. It resumed in Egypt, where they fled in search of security, only to find more despair. And it ended on a coal-black night in another desert, along the Egyptian border with Israel, where they sought a new future. He carried their 2-year-old daughter, Samar. Hadja carried their unborn child. As they neared Israel, shouts from an Egyptian border patrol sliced across the desert. Then came the bullets....
As the Egyptians escorted Sahour and his daughter away in late 2007, he saw blood oozing from his wife’s body. She had been shot in the back of the head, he said. “She was seven months pregnant,’’ he continued, breaking down in tears.
He has every right.
Senior Egyptian officials have been quoted in newspapers as saying that it is necessary to shoot anyone who attempts to cross the border....
Yeah, and WE KNOW WHY!!
From July 2007 to October 2008, Egyptian guards killed at least 33 migrants, according to Human Rights Watch. Since May, at least 15 migrants have been killed....
How many Palestinians has Israel wiped from the face of the map during same time frame?
Oh, I forgot, Israel is a Muslim sanctuary.
