CBC News - World - Israeli PM's wife decries deporting children
How charming.
Boot them out of the country because they're not Jewish and will have a negative impact on their "Pure Race" mentality, not even giving them a chance to grow up in the so-called "Democratic" nation they were born in and proving that they can benefit their society.
And that's all it is..... he generalized them all based on the fact that they're not "Jewish" and that's his justification for kicking them out of the country they called home for all their lives.
At least Sarah Netanyahu is showing some common sense and treating them like human beings.
The wife of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has written to his cabinet colleagues, asking them to reconsider the decision to deport 400 children.
They are the offspring — born in Israel — of migrant workers from Asian and African countries. The government has ordered them to leave, along with their parents, by the fall. The issue has touched a raw nerve in Israel.
Sarah Netanyahu was to meet with Israeli Interior Minister Eli Yishai on Thursday, adding her voice to the thousands who have been demonstrating for the past year against the government's decision to deport the children.
They include the three-year-old son of a woman known as Heidi, who is from the Philippines and has lived in Israel for 15 years.
"Sometimes I can't sleep at night because it's not easy. I have to do everything and work every day, and there's lots of rumours and it's very stressful," she said.
Rotem Ilan formed the group Israel Children a year ago to fight these deportations.
"Israel is a country that was built by and for migrant workers looking for a safe haven, and I think if there's anything that we've learnt from our long history, it's that we cannot be the country that will deport children," Ilan said.
Human rights groups are calling on Israel to put its migration policy in order. They say it should not simply deport these low-paid workers and their children, bring in a new batch and start the cycle all over again.
However, Yishai has taken a hard line on the issue. He has said these non-Jewish children will negatively impact the Jewish state in future.
