Οπότε το Ισραήλ τώρα προσπαθεί να
επιστρατεύσει μετανάστες από την Αφρική για τους βρώμικους πολέμους του...
Σύμφωνα με ένα
στρατηγό ο ισραηλίτικος στρατός εκατάντησεν πκιον «μιτσής, αδύναμος τζαι χωρίς
εφεδρείες» [“small
and weak, with no surplus of forces”].
«If one is to
visit the Mahal website, a
pop-up reminder, reading ‘Apply online’, keeps appearing. It is as if the
repeated beep is a reminder of the state of emergency, if not outright panic,
in the Israeli military.
Mahal is one of several recruiting
agencies that aim to entice mercenaries from
all around the world to fight Israel’s dirty wars, in Gaza and on all fronts.
As soon as the Israeli war on Gaza
was launched last October, rumors began circulating of a low turn-out among
Israeli reserves. This was coupled with an unprecedented political crisis in
Israel, where the military was insistent on
the recruiting of Ultra-Orthodox Jews which, until recently, has been a taboo
topic among Israeli politicians.
Even when the draft orders went out for
thousands of Haredim in July, only a small fraction of the summoned men answered the
call, according to Israeli media.
The crisis is yet to be resolved,
and most likely will not be resolved as the Israeli government of Benjamin
Netanyahu continues to expand the
war fronts. To understand the degree of Israel’s military crisis, compare the
hyped statements of Israeli officials at the start of the war, where they promised a
total victory, to the latest statements.
Last July, for example, Israeli
Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said that “the army needs 10,000 more soldiers
immediately.” The number 10,000 is particularly interesting when we consider an
Israeli army revelation that
at least 10,000 of its soldiers have been seriously or moderately wounded since
the start of the war.
The number is likely to be much
higher, based on media leaks and
information provided by Israeli
hospitals. Additionally, thousands of Israeli soldiers have been
declared
‘disabled’ due to psychological trauma suffered during the war, according to
Israel’s defense ministry.
Thus the state of urgency in an
army, which according to
Israeli Major General Reserve Yitzhak Brik, has become “small and weak, with no
surplus of forces”.
So, where does Israel go from
here? Instead of ending its war-turned-genocide in Gaza, Israel has decided to
turn to the very people who have been told that they are the most unwanted
elements of Israeli society: African refugee asylum seekers.
The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported on
September 15 that Israeli recruiters have been quietly working to enlist as
many African asylum seekers as possible in the Israeli military.
To entice them, the recruiters are
promising permanent residencies though, according to the paper, not a single
African soldier is yet to receive the coveted documents.
“Defense officials (..) say the
project is conducted in an organized manner, with the guidance of defense
establishment legal advisers,” the report said. The paper also confirmed that
“the ethical considerations of recruiting asylum seekers have not been
addressed”.
By ‘ethical considerations’, both
Haaretz and the cited defense officials are not referring to the killing of
unarmed Palestinian civilians in Gaza at the hands of poor, desperate refugees
from Africa, but to the rights of the asylum seekers themselves.
Israel is known to
mistreat not only African asylum seekers but its own dark-skinned population as
well....»
