June 20: Outside the box
06/19/2012 22:59
Sir, – Regarding “Yishai says he will work to deport all Eritreans and Sudanese” (June 18), I have a modest proposal for the Israeli government that could kill two birds with one stone: Instead of the African migrants settling in Tel Aviv, which is grossly overcrowded, why not settle them on the West Bank ? Israel has the legitimate right to build there. Who could complain about allowing black immigrants, most of whom are refugees fleeing war and poverty, from settling there? This way they could have their own communities yet benefit Israel by being on the West Bank.
Why should the Palestinians complain about this? They would be providing assistance to suffering humanity. Most of the Africans are Muslims anyway.
Why not have the UN support this? Surely, UNRWA could afford to do so from the billions of dollars it gets in aid.
By thinking out of the box we could solve two problems in one go.
