According to the Washington Post, Israel has closed its door to asylum-seekers from Sudan's Darfur region and from other African countries - because they are non-Jewish.
Israeli authorities announced that they had expelled 48 of more than 2,000 African refugees who have entered from Egypt in recent weeks. Officials said they would allow only 500 Darfurians among them to remain, but would deport everyone else back to Egypt and accept no more refugees from Darfur or other places.
The announcement, raising new concerns over the refugees' safety, heightened a debate in Israel over what responsibilities a nation created by survivors of genocide in Europe bore toward people fleeing mass killing in Africa.
