Pushed out by Israel, asylum seekers find only limbo in Uganda
+972 Magazine joins Meretz MKs Mossi Raz and Michal Rozin in Rwanda and Uganda to find out what happens to the asylum seekers Israel is deporting there.

Asylum seekers sent to Rwanda warn: ‘If you don’t want to die, stay in Israel’
Israeli officials often imply that African asylum seekers sent to Rwanda will receive legal status and the ability to build a life there. Testimonies collected in a new report paint an entirely different — and much grimmer — picture. “I saw 400 people [in the Mediterranean]. They drowned […] many children died, I remember. I don’t…

We can no longer deny the Holocaust of Libya’s Jews
I wanted to believe that my mother’s cries, who for years woke up in the middle of the night, crying in a mix of Arabic and Italian, were not heard by a single writer of Israeli history. By Yossi Sucary I wanted the believe that the Nazis’ bullets, which struck the heads of my mother’s…

Yemenite Children Affair: Families of the kidnapped speak out
Between the years 1948 and 1952, thousands of babies, children of mostly Yemenite immigrants to the newly-founded State of Israel, were allegedly taken away from their parents and given up for adoption to Ashkenazi families.

A case for isolationism
America and its Western allies should either reinstate the military draft or put down their arms, because their way of going to war these days is too unjust, too inequitable to abide. Whenever I read or hear somebody say that America, the West, the world must intervene militarily in Syria, I think, very cynically,…

Why Germany abstained from the UN vote on Palestine
After a diplomatic disaster following the 2011 Security Council vote on Libya, and with popular opinion in Germany against him, Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle realized he could not isolate Germany again.

Violent protests are the true insult to Islam
The real challenge facing the Muslim world today is how to stop violent protesters from becoming the face of the religion. In order to do that, we need more Muslims to get rid of their indifference and speak against the misrepresentation of Islam. Research shows that the people behind “Innocence of Muslims,” the film which disrespects…

Christopher Stevens was neither killed by a film, nor by U.S. policy
The U.S. Ambassador to Libya was killed by Islamic anti-American fanaticism. By now there’s no need to point out the right-wing, anti-Muslim bad guys in the story surrounding Tuesday’s attack in Libya that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans. Mitt Romney is one of those heavies, and the Egyptian Copt and American hardass…

The “Obama Doctrine:” A blessing or a curse for the conflict?
The end of the Gaddafi regime in Libya proved that U.S. President Barack Obama’s doctrine of “leading from behind” was a success. But the Obama Doctrine is not only a new approach to war – it extends to foreign policy on the whole, and therefore has already begun to affect the Israeli-Palestinian conflict When U.S.…

Libyans Recuperating in Tunisia Eager to Get Home
The El Hana International is located on one end of Tunis’ famed Habib Bourguiba Avenue, directly opposite the Tunisian National Theatre. It is said to be a five-star facility, but at the moment, it resembles more of a hospice than a hotel. That is because leaders of Libya’s National Transition Council, the NTC, apparently made…

Covering the media that’s covering Gaddafi
People get their news in different ways. I learned that Gaddafi had been killed (or injured, or captured…as was be reported at various moments through the day) not by watching TV but rather via an unusual observation. I was just checking-in to my hotel in Tunis when I ran into the CNN crew. They were…
