Turning Israel into a 'state of all its infiltrators'
The past two Israeli governments successfully turned the issue of African asylum seekers into a threat posed by infiltrators, who were subsequently criminalized. A short examination of the countryÂ’s history with infiltrators, however, can give us some important insights.
"Interior Minister Gideon Sa’ar, who’s in favor of expelling refugees from Africa, devised a catchy slogan – “A country of all its infiltrators” – in order to condemn those who defend asylum seekers in Israel. By using that concept he is trying to show the absurdity of those who support giving refugees asylum and rights – because nobody wants us to become a country of infiltrators.*An historical examination of those who previously knocked at the gates of this the country, however, can give us some important and surprising insights."

I like this concept of Israel as a state for all its infiltrators.
It is so democratic and respectful of the rights of all in the land.
