Sometimes we overlook the wonderful accomplishments of America’s little friend Israel, the only true democracy in the Middle East. Often the dissident Right doesn’t have such a high opinion of them, but let’s give our buddies in the “51st state” due credit for a change, how about it? Although overshadowed by the grim eruption of warfare in Gaza, there was an encouraging development late last year.

The Eritreans in particular are failing to get along lately in many countries, but fortunately Israel knows what to do about them. This hopeful glimmer points the way to progress for Western civilization, which is even more troubled by underperforming outsiders. In this regard, Israel is now living up to its Scriptural potential as a light unto the nations. In particular, they’re showing a positive example to the world regarding what should be done with migrants who don’t belong.

Who needs Eritreans?

Just to be clear from the beginning, there’s nothing wrong with Eritreans as long as they’re where they belong, which of course is Eritrea. Wait — where’s that? Most Americans couldn’t find the place on a world map, even if ordered to do so at gunpoint. Although our sense of geography notoriously leaves much to be desired, the small country southeast of Egypt is a fairly obscure place. Eritrea is roughly the size of Honduras, another location we couldn’t locate to save our lives. Although it was at least somewhat of a happening place in ancient times — I suspect they were more Semitic and less Nilotic back then — modernity hasn’t been so kind to them.

Following a long civil war, they seceded from Ethiopia, a place which itself was notorious for a while as a starving hellhole country. (For those of my generation, our reaction to the sight of an Ethiopian restaurant is, “What? They have food?”) Back in the day, several rock stars took notice and came to their rescue. But drought conditions were only partly responsible for the famine. Other factors were incompetence and malice on the part of Ethiopia’s Marxist dictatorship, which was then engaged in a vicious civil war. The mainstream media, which was either too lazy to do real journalistic research or perhaps unwilling to spoil a tear-jerker narrative, didn’t notify the public about these complexities until after it was too late.

Following their independence, Eritrea still isn’t doing so well. Transcendentally dysfunctional Haiti has a gross domestic product that is about three times higher. Eritrea’s bottom-of-the-barrel human development index makes Venezuela seem peachy. The place is run by the usual sort of asshole dictator. But no matter what economic or historical factors one might cite about their lack of success, Eritrea’s major problem is that it’s full of Eritreans. Their average IQ is around 85, which is actually exceptional according to African standards, but the place only has so much potential.

Other than that, they like sex but don’t seem as enthusiastic about birth control. Up until about 1990, their women consistently popped out an average of over six piccaninnies each. Lately the total fertility rate fell to about three and a half kids, but that’s still obviously unsustainable in a badly-impoverished hellhole country. Eritrea’s present population is estimated by some to be six million. (Ahem. . .) Others have left in droves by now, and presently well over half a million reside elsewhere. It’s understandable why they’d want to bug out. Still, if they couldn’t improve their own country, they’re not going to improve any other. As the proverb says, wherever you go, there you are.

Of Eritreans abroad, half are in nearby countries. As for the rest who went further afield, it seems that hardly any opted to move to Brazil, China, or India. Instead, they’re mainly in the United States, Canada, Britain, Norway, Sweden, and Germany, among other Western countries. Is it because they’re sick of their homeland’s sunny climate, and instead pine for snowy abodes where they can ski and play ice hockey? Alternatively, is it because they can take advantage of liberal Western nations that are characterized by lax policing and excessively generous social programs paid for by white taxpayers? I’ll leave that to the reader to decide. A little further afield, apparently some even made it to Latvia, another place where Eritreans belong about as much as Martians.

Apart from that, although it’s difficult to believe, somehow up to about 25,500 of the darlings (according to a high estimate) are camping out in Israel. They claim to be refugees, though Israelis often characterize them as infiltrators. There’s something to that, since some — probably most — were border jumpers.

Vibrant cultural enrichers in Tel Aviv

Violence erupts in Tel Aviv as Eritrean protesters clash with police

Question: What do you call a crowd of Eritrean rioters? Answer: An Eritrean cultural festival! More seriously, in certain places that significant numbers of these Asylbewerber are occupying, violence broke out last fall between supporters and critics of Eritrea’s asshole dictator. (According to some viewpoints, the supporters are Ethiopians from the Tigray region pretending to be Eritreans. If so, they don’t belong, either.) This notoriously occurred in Toronto and Edmonton. Other places that experienced Eritrean vibrancy include London, Bergen, Stockholm, Stuttgart, and even Tel Aviv.

The rumble in Israel caused over 110 injuries, including about 30 police, mostly by stones and makeshift clubs. The streets were left littered with these improvised weapons and other debris. Smashed shop windows surely reminded Israeli centenarians of the Kristallnacht caper. Vandalized cop cars were reminiscent of Baltimore’s vibrancy. For lagniappe, the fuzzy wuzzies running amok on the streets of Tel Aviv lit a number of trash bins on fire. Just a rowdy block party, you say? Well, the bagel connoisseurs don’t cotton to that stuff on their own turf.

Unfortunately, the governments of Canada, Britain, Norway, Sweden, and Germany are run by bleeding-hearted liberals and globalist schemers who promote open-borders policies that will make the founding populations a minority in their own countries. The last thing they’re going to do is react appropriately to troublemaking outsiders who don’t belong. Fortunately for the Israelis, their own government knows how to deal with Eritreans and other African flotsam.

The Associated Press recounts this in “Israel’s Netanyahu says he wants Eritrean migrants involved in violent clashes to be deported,” reported by Tia Goldenberg. Taking it from the top, Aunt Goldie informs us:

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday he wants Eritrean migrants involved in a violent clash in Tel Aviv to be deported immediately and has ordered a plan to remove all of the country’s African migrants.

Whoa, based! The article recaps the recent violence, as well as the Prime Minister’s reaction. He intends to return the troublemakers to where they belong. Apparently he also plans to send the rest of the African “refugees” packing, too, though details on that are sketchy. Israel has been trying to get rid of the darlings for over a decade; it’s about time they saw some action.

The party’s over, the fuzzy wuzzies must go home

Fortunately for the Israelis, these vibrant outsiders constitute only about half a percent of Israel’s population, and are apparently still residing there by clinging to technicalities in international law. Although they border the Sinai Peninsula, which is a stone’s throw from the Dark Continent, our buddies over in Southwest Birobidzhan know better than to allow their country to get any further overrun with wretched refuse from Africa’s teeming shores. Sensible politicians such as Benjamin Netanyahu and Miri Regev deserve credit for their foresight. Hopefully this will become a positive example for the rest of the world. What Israel can do, so can we. May the day come when our own immigration authorities know what to do about border-jumping welfare entrepreneurs who arrive only knowing how to say “asylum.”

One must admit that the Israelis get a lot of things right. Their government is interested in the long-term future and well-being of their people, even if they sometimes mistakenly engage in counterproductive measures. They already have their wall protecting the country’s boundaries from further intruders. Meanwhile, the Bidet junta actively sabotages border security in the name of carrying out their population replacement agenda. Our own Deep State is full of corrupt and decadent characters who fear and hate the public. Europe is stuck with like-minded characters in the halls of power, flooding their countries with Third World migrants with not a thought given to the public’s wishes.

Among the ruling class, there are some screwball (((diaspora types))) who unfortunately have a great deal of influence. These neurotic Zionists are notorious for taking every opportunity to push for destructive policies, much unlike their sensible Israeli cousins. Smelly hypocrisy such as that doesn’t go unnoticed; in fact, it makes them look terrible. Moreover, it’s self-destructive and dumber than dirt to sabotage the countries where they live. Therefore, they really should stop doing that. But if they won’t cut out the sneaky stuff and subversive agendas, then much like the wayward Africans, they, too, should get on that boat and go, go, go.
