The letters explicitly state that they should leave Israel within 60 days.
This announcement shocked the African Hebrews and approximately 85 other members whose lack of official status in the country has been under review by the Ministry of Interior for more than a year.
It was a shock because they had fully cooperated with the ministry in an effort to normalize their status as contributing members of Israeli society.
Further, after decades (for many their entire life) in Israel, they will lose the only home they have known.
Unfortunately, this effort is only the most recent iteration of what appears to be an agenda of active discrimination against members of the African Hebrew community.
This does not come as surprise to many who know that Zionism is built on racism and apartheid.
Despite being initially welcomed with open arms and given citizenship in 1969 under the ‘Law of Return’, by 1970 the law was changed.
Then the 400 souls who were previously sent to settle the Negev alongside new Jewish migrants from Morocco and India, were stripped of their citizenship.
They were exposed to multiple episodes of arrests and deportations in 1973, 1985 and 1986.
Critics say that the Zionist regime has a clear agenda to uproot the so-called African Hebrews from the land.
It also wants to prevent any further immigration of people associated with the community.
The target also includes those that underwent legitimate Halakhic conversion to join the Jewish faith.
As in 1970, when government officials wrote off the claim of ancestral descent from the lost tribes of Israel, the ministry still views the so-called African Hebrews’ claim to Jewish/Hebrew ancestry as imaginary.
It is dismissed as irrelevant to the Jewish people and the mission of the State of Israel.
That is why the Zionist regime has come up with this unapologetic policy which seeks to bar them from the country, deport them, and sometimes even harass Jews of colour by association.
The so-called African Hebrews’ obsession with wanting to be called “Hebrews” is shocking.
The Zionist entity actually believes that the real Hebrews are Caucasian; they can never be black or any other color or race.
There is nothing in Israel for the so-called African Hebrews.
Zionism is built on racism. The few, like the Falashas who migrated from Ethiopia to Israel, are treated like slaves.
They are forced to do all the dirty jobs that the Caucasian Jews will not do.
They are subjected to Israeli police brutality, just like African Americans in the US.
Judaism as interpreted by the Zionists, has been turned into a tribal religion.
Anyone who is not Caucasian cannot be Jewish, according this distorted view.
Africans should understand this very clearly.
This also spotlights the so-called Charm Offense Diplomacy of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu across the African continent.
The obvious question that arises is why does he want Africans to be friends with Israel when he does not consider them equal?
This proves what we have always said that it is not the people of Africa that he wants to befriend, it’s their natural resources. Period!
The Zionists are after Africa’s resources.
The lies that the Zionists are spreading across Africa includes telling certain African tribes that they are one of the lost tribes of Israel.
Of late, they have targeted the so-called Igbo Hebrews of Nigeria, telling them the same lie.
If one looks closely at these African tribes who accept these lies, they have always created trouble in their respective countries.
Most of them harbour secessionist ideas and have the same characteristics as the Zionists such as feeling superior to others and claiming that they are the “chosen people”.
The message to Africans is, please do not be misled by the Zionists who are dying of envy to be where you are right now.
Africa is the best place to be in at the moment.
All we need to do is to work hard, improve where we are and exploit our God-given natural resources.
These are what the Zionists covet.
