West Bank settlements target French immigrants
Alternative News 15 Feb The West Bank settlement council of Samaria is targeting potential Jewish immigrants from France, encouraging them to move to five specially selected settlements in the northern West Bank The settler-affiliated news site Arutz 7 reports that Gershon Mesika, Head of the Samaria regional council, and his deputy, Yossi Dagan, held home meetings in Paris last week, during which they provided practical information about the area, the settlements and their characters, educational systems and housing possibilities. Following these home meetings, an in-depth tour of the northern West Bank settlement area is being conducted this week for potential immigrants. Gershon Mesika, who is under police investigation for alleged acts of corruption, stated that Numerous settlements are interested in absorbing immigrants from France, with the knowledge that this is Zionism and a true mission. We conducted in-depth examinations concerning the demands of the immigrants and participating settlements, such that the absorption will be positive both amongst the immigrants and residents of the settlements themselves. Last summer a group of ten immigrating families from France were taken directly from the airport to the northern West Bank settlement of Yakir, where a system of community immigrant absorption was implemented in which the immigrants were adopted by local residents. The project was judged a success, and Mesika ordered expansion of the project to include four additional settlements.
Israel is continuing an illegitimate program, causing great suffering for the Palestinians, by the continual addition of more illegal colonists into their territory. What I find very surprising is that the French, or newly minted Israeli French, seem to have forgotten that the country of their origin also suffered for a brief time at the hands of a brutal occupier intent on complete domination.
By leaving leaving the country of their birth to start a new life in occupied territory may make them feel free, but the Palestinians may look at them as being more Vichy than Free French.
