3 | About 30,000 undocumented Africans living in Israel [fr] mounted a three-day strike and a series of protests backed by human rights defenders in early January against an act that allows Israeli authorities to place undocumented immigrants in detention without any trial nor case review for up to a year. | Teo amin'ny kianja mitondra ny anaran'i Yitzhak Rabin tany Tel-Aviv no nanombohan'ireo Afrikanina tsy manan-taratasy ara-dalàna miisa 30 000 monina any Isiraely, ny fitokonana sy andiana fihetsiketsehana nandritra ny 3 andro, izay notohan'ireo mpiaro ny zon'olombelona. Araka ny lalàna izay nankatoavina ny 10 desambra 2013, afaka mitazona ireo mpihavy tsy ara-dalàna tsy misy fitsarana na fisavana ny taratasiny mandritra ny herintaona ireo tompon'andraikitra isiraeliana. |
4 | Aside from the new law, approved on December 10, 2013, protesters denounced the refusal of Israeli authorities to consider their applications for refugee status as well as the detention of hundreds of them. | Fanampin'io lalàna io, nilaza ireo mpanao fihetsiketsehana fa mandà tsy hijery ireo fangatahana nataon'izy ireo mba hahazo ny satan'ny mpialokaloka sy ny fihazonana an-jatony tamin'izy ireo ny tompon'andraikitra isiraeliana. Ny lahatsary eto ambany dia manoritra ny halehiben'ireo fihetsiketsehana ary manamarika ny fangatahan'ireo mpanao fihetsiketsehana: |
5 | The video below highlights the scale of events and presents protesters demands: The Holot detention centre in the Negev desert, near the border between Israel and Egypt, already has received numerous inmates since December 2013. | Nanomboka ny volana desambra 2013, voafonja maro no ao amin'ny toeram-pihazonan'i Holot, any amin'ny tany efitr'i Néguev, akaikin'ny sisintany manelanelana an'i Isiraely sy Ejipta, tsy maintsy mandalo manao fanamarinam-pahatongavana intelo ary matory ao ireo tsy manana taratasy ara-dalàna. |
6 | The site irinnews.org offered an idea of the centre's capacity: | Manome hevitra mikasika ny haben'io toerana io ny tranonkala ny irinnews.org: |
7 | Holot can house 3,300 migrants and is set to expand, eventually reaching a capacity of between 6,000 and 9,000 people, according to Yitzhak Aharonovitch, Israel's Public Security Minister. | Afaka mandray mpifindra monina 3.300 i Holot ary natao ho afaka hiitatra mba hanatrarana any amparany ny hahazakany olona 6.000 sy 9.000, araka ny voalazan'i Yitzhak Aharonovitch, minisitry ny Filaminam-bahoaka any Isiraely. |
8 | The anti-undocumented African feeling has reached alarming levels, fed by hate speech, such as the “Le sentiment” video published by Djemila Yamina. | |
9 | The video shows Israeli citizens stating in a public gathering that undocumented immigrants are “psychopaths, scum and manure that need to be expelled from our country” | Tonga aminà haavo mampiahiahy ny fihetseham-po manohitra ireo afrikana mpialokaloka tsy ara-dalàna, arehitr'ireo lahateny feno fankahalana toy izay hita ao anatin'ity lahatsary navoakan'i Djemila Yamina ity: |
10 | Elsewhere, minority extremist groups have attacked immigrants. | Any ananona any, ireo vondrona “extrémistes” vitsy an'isa no manafika ireo mpifindra monina. |
11 | In Israel, the government and the judiciary systems are taking an active part. Previously in July 2012, Allain Jules condemned [fr] on his blog: | Any Isiraely, mandray anjara mavitrika ao anatin'izany ny governemanta sy ny fitaovana ara-pitsarana. Ny volana jolay 2012 sahady, nanambara teo amin'ny bilaoginy i Allain Jules fa: |
12 | What is going on in Israel is shameful. | Zavatra tsy mendrika izay mitranga any Isiraely amin'izao fotoana izao. |
13 | Between a minister demanding that undocumented immigrants are simply assassinated, suggesting we shoot at them at the very moment they try to cross the borders, and another minister that talks about the risks of impurity for the future state of Israel that must retain its Jewish character Racism was apparent even before the new law. | Eo amin'ny minisitra izay mangataka ny hamonoana tsotra izao fotsiny ireo mpifindra-monina, satria angatahany ny hitifirana azy ireny eo amin'ny fotoana iezahany handingana ny sisintany, ny iray milaza ny tsy hampadio intsony ny taranaky ny Firenena Isiraely amin'ny hoavy izay tsy maintsy mitana ny maha-jiosy azy, tampina ny daomy. |
14 | On July 18, 2013, Darfuri asylum-seeker and actor, Babaker (Babi) Ibrahim was arrested simply for not having a receipt for his bicycle. | |
15 | Jean Shaoul explained [fr] the reality for asylum seekers in Israel on his blog cameroonvoice.com: | Araka ny lahatsoratr'i Jean Shaoul navoaka tao a min'ny cameroonvoice.com: |
16 | By virtue of the Israeli law, work is prohibited for immigrants as long as they are not registered as asylum seekers. | Araka ny lalàna israeliana, voarara ho an'ireo mpifindra-monina ny miasa raha toa ka mbola tsy voasoratra ho anisan'ireo mpangataka toerana fialokalofana izy ireo. |
17 | Which is virtually impossible for them. | Izay hita fa tsy ho tanterak'izy ireo mihintsy. |
18 | In effect, according to United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR), while the national average recognition rate for asylum seekers is 39 percent, in Israel this rate is lower than 1 percent. | Vokatr'izay, araka ny sampan'ny Firenena Mikambana miahy ny mpitsoa-ponenana, raha toa ka 39 isan-jato ny salan'isa mikasika ny fanomezan'ny firenana fankatoavana ho an'ireo mpangataka toerana fialokalofana, any Isiraely io taha io dia ambanin'ny 1 isan-jato. |
19 | In Israel, the majority of asylum claimants are Eritreans and Sudanese, that have an international recognition rate of 84 percent and 64 percent respectively. | Any Isiraely, ny ankamaroan'ireo mpangataka toerana hialokalofana dia ireo Eritreana sy ireo Sodàne izay ahitana ny salan'isam-pankatoavana 84 sy 64 isan-jato tsirairay avy, mikasika ny fahafantarana iraisam-pirenena. |
20 | In a post published on a Mediapart blog, JOSEPH AKOUISSONNE [fr] wrote: | Araka ny lahatsoratra iray navoaka tamin'ny bilaogin'ny Mediapart, manoratra i JOSEPH AKOUISSONNE fa: |
21 | This racism is incomprehensible coming from people who have suffered under the Nazis, with its cohort of heinous acts aimed at Jewish extermination. | Tsy azo visavisaina io fanavakavaham-bolonkoditra io avy aminà vahoaka izay niaritra ny fanambanian'ny nazia, ahitana toetra miharo fankahalana nikendrena hamongorana ireo jiosy. |
22 | Nevertheless, it was Golda Meir who proclaimed that: “… Africans and Jews share common points. | Kanefa, Ramatoa Golda Meir mihitsy no nanambara fa: “… betsaka toetra iraisana ny Afrikana sy ny vahoaka jiosy. |
23 | They have been victims of history, who died in concentration camps or have been enslaved… “. In the 1960s, the Israeli State forged strong links with the African continent. | Samy niharan'ny tantara izy ireo: maty tany amin'ny toby famonjàna na naetry ho andevo…” Ny taona 1960, nanefy fifamatorana mafy tamin'ny kaontinanta mainty ny fanjakana Isiraeliana. |
24 | African students were welcomed into the kibbutz. | Noraisina tao amin'ireo kibboutz ireo mpianatra afrikana. |
25 | Vice versa, there were plenty of Israelis who were involved in supporting the development of the newly enacted independent states. | Mifamadika amin'izay, maro ireo israeliana izay nandeha tany Afrika mba hanohana ny fivelaran'ireo fanjakana maro vao avy nahazo fahaleovantena. |
26 | It is worth mentioning too the struggle of South African Jews alongside Nelson Mandela in the strife against apartheid. | Mila tsiahivina koa ireo ady nifanaovan'ireo jiosy avy any afrika-atsimo, teo anilan'i Nelson Mandela tamin'ny adiny manohitra ny apartheid. |
27 | Not to forget those who engaged with the Civil Rights activists in the United States. | Tsy hadinoina ireo izay nirotsaka niaraka tamin'ireo mpikatroka mafàna fo mpiaro ny Zon'ny Tsirairay tany Etazonia. |
28 | What is it about illegal immigration that provokes so much hatred in Israel? | Inona no lanjan'ity tranganà fifindra-monina tsy ara-dalàna ity izay mitarika fankahalana be any Isiraely? |
29 | In response, JOL Press site presents figures [fr] from the Freedom 4 Refugees Association: | Mba hamaliana an'io, manambara ireo antontan'isa nampitain‘ny fikambanana Freedom 4 Refugees, ny tranonkala JOL Press: |
30 | “Approximately 50,000 asylum seekers live currently in Israel. | “Sahabo ho 50.000 eo ho eo ireo afrikana mpangataka toerana fialokalofana sy mpitsoa-ponenana miaina any Israely ankehitriny. |
31 | We fled persecution, military forces, dictatorship, civil wars and genocide. | Nandositra ny haza lambo izahay, ny hery miaramila, ny jadona, ireo adin'ny sivily sy ny fanaovana vono moka. |
32 | Instead of being treated as refugees by the government of Israel, we are being dealt with as criminals,” explained Freedom4Refugees. | Raisin'ny governemantan'i Isiraely ho toy ny jiolahy izahay raha toa ka tokony ho mpitsoa-ponenana” hoy ny fanazavan'ny Freedom4Refugees. |
33 | “We demand that the law be revoked, the end of arrests, and the release of all asylum seekers and refugees imprisoned,” the refugees declared in a petition communicated by the Freedom4Refugees Association. | “Mangataka ny fanafoanana ilay lalàna izahay, ny fampiatoana ireo fisamborana, sy ny famotsorana ireo mpangataka fialokalofana rehetra sy ireo mpitsoa-ponenana voafonja”, hoy hatrany ny nambaran'ireo mpitsoa-ponenana tao anatin'ny fanangonan-tsonia iray nampitain'ny fikambanana Freedom4Refugees. |
34 | Mainly Sudanese, South Sudanese and Eritrean demonstrators further demand that asylum applications are made “in an individual, fair and transparent way”. | Manam-piaviana sodàne, sodàne-tatsimo sy eritreana ny ankamaroany, mangataka ihany koa ireo mpanao fihetsikesehana mba ho “atao tsirairay, tsy mitanila ary mangarahara” ireo fangatahana fialokalofana. |
35 | Al Monitor website noted the discriminatory character of measures taken against African immigrants: | Ny sasantsasany amin'ireo fikambanana tsy miankina amin'ny fanjakana izay miady ho an'ireo Afrikana dia manipika ny endrika fanavakavahana misy amin'ireo fepetra atao ny mpifindra-monina afrikana. |
36 | At the same time, however, there are some 93,000 “tourists without valid visas” in Israel, about half of them from the former Soviet Union. | Ny tranonkala Al Monitor dia manasongadina fa: Etsy andaniny anefa misy 93.000 ireo “mpizaha tany tsy manana taratasy fahazoana mivahiny ara-dalàna” any Isiraely, manakaiky ny antsasak'izy ireo no avy any amin'ny Firaisana Sovietika taloha. |
37 | Needless to say, the government is not building special detainment centers for them. | Tsy ilaina ny milaza fa andalam-panorenana ivon-toerana fihazonana manokana azy ireo ny governemanta. |
38 | The number of people requesting asylum is also significantly lower than the number of legal guest workers in Israel (approximately 70,000), much to the relief of those companies that arrange to bring them to the country and employ them. | Vitsy kokoa noho ny isan'ireo vahiny mpiasa monina ara-dalàna any Isiraely ny isan'ireo olona mangataka fialokalofana (eo ho eo amin'ny 70.000), fiadanan-tsaina sy tombony ho an'ireo orinasa izay mikarakara ny fitondràna azy ireo ao amin'ny firenena sy mampiasa azy ireo. |
39 | There has been striking indifference at an international level. | Manaitra ny tsy firaharahàna misy eo anivon'ny iraisam-pirenena. |
40 | In an article published on Rue89, Renée Greusard disclosed everyday racism against Israel's black population: | Tao anatin'ny lahatsoratra iray navoakan'ny Rue89, mamaritra ny fanavakavahana isan'andro atao ireo Mainty any Isiraely i Renée Greusard: |
41 | When we address this issue together, American journalist David Sheen weighs his words and talks slowly: | Rehefa mandinika io tranga io isika, mandanjalanja ny teniny sady miteny miadana i David Sheen, amerikanina iray mpanao gazety manao hoe: |
42 | “The current level of racism in Israel can be compared to what has been experienced in other Western countries 50, 60 years ago. | “Ny halalin'ny fanavakavahana any Isiraely ankehitriny, azo ampitahaina amin'izay efa nisy tany amin'ireo firenena tandrefana, dimampolo, enimpolo taona lasa izay. |
43 | People are insulted in the streets. | Voaompa eny andalana ny olona. |
44 | Often when blacks board buses, people would plug their noses and block the seats near them, opening the windows while ranting ‘Ah! But we don't need all these blacks!' | Matetika, raha vao miditra anaty fiara mpitatitra olona ireo mainty, mitampin'orona ny olona, mibahana ireo toerana eo akaikiny, manokatra ireo varavarankely, manao vava ratsy: “Ah! Tsy misy ilàna itony mainty hoditra itony an!” |
45 | In other countries, people are embarrassed by their racist thoughts. | Any amin'ireo firenena hafa, sahirana noho ny fisainany mpanavakavaka ny olona. |
46 | They do not divulge them in public. | Tsy milaza izany ampahibemaso izy ireo. |
47 | Here, not quite. | Eto, tsia. |
48 | They are confident and proud on their racism.” | Fanavakavahana efa azo antoka io, ary mirehareha amin'izany ny olona. |
49 | These anti-black sentiments can be observed even from the comments published on blogs and online media such as lemonde.fr, seneweb.com and tempsreel.nouvelobs.com. | Hita hatrany anatin'ireo fanehoan-kevitra nivoaka tamin'ireo bilaogy na media ety anaty aterineto tahàka ny lemonde.fr, seneweb.com, tempsreel.nouvelobs.com, sy ny sisa, ireo fihetseham-po mankahala mainty ireo. |
50 | These types of comments frequently arouse passions on both sides of the issue. | Ny fanehoan-kevitra tsirairay dia matetika no manainga fahalianana sy misarika fironana hanaiky na hanilika azy. |
51 | An article by Jack Guez on Yahoo News has received 2,410 comments, and many of these comments have in turn attracted plenty of “likes”. | Arak'izany, naharaisana fanehoan-kevitra miisa 2 410 ny lahatsoratr'i Jack Guez teo amin'ny news.yahoo.com. Maro tamin'ireo fanehoan-kevitra ireo no nahazo “Tia” marobe. |
52 | The comment below has received 82 favourable opinions: | Nahazo hevitra 82 manaiky azy ny fanehoan-kevitra manaraka eto ambany nivoaka taorian'io lahatsoratra io: |
53 | People criticize Israel but no one says a thing about Saudi Arabia, why? | Saudi Arabia expelled 200,000 Africans a few weeks ago! |
54 | Saudi Arabia expelled 200,000 Africans a few weeks ago! | Mitsikera an'i Isiraely ny olona saingy tsy miteny kosa mikasika an'i Arabia Saodita, fa nahoana? |
55 | The death of Ariel Sharon brought the protests and strike to a temporary halt for a few days. | Nandroaka Afrikana miisa 200.000 i Arabia Saodita herinandro maromaro izay! Niato ireo andianà fihetsiketsehana vokatry ny fahafatesan'i Ariel Sharon. |
56 | However, the struggle of the undocumented migrants in Israel continues. | Saingy mbola tsy tapitra kosa ny fahasahiranan'ireo tsy manana taratasy ara-dalàna tany Isiraely. |
57 | After marching outside the offices of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), as well as other foreign embassies in Tel-Aviv, protesters have held demonstrations in front of The Knesset, the Israeli Parliament in Jerusalem. | Taorian'ny nilaharana nanoloana ireo biraon'ny Kaomisaria Ambonin'ny Firenena Mikambana Mikarakara ny Mpitsoa-ponenana (HCR) ary koa nanoloana ireo masoivohon'ireo firenena vahiny any Tel-Aviv, nanao fihetsiketsehana nanoloana ny Knesset izy ireo, Parlemanta Isiraeliana any Jerosalema. |
58 | Nevertheless, the government continues to herald sluggish proposals. | Kanefa, manohy mitàna ireo heviny tsy dia manome fanantenana loatra ny governemanta. |
