During the past year there was a sharp rise in cases
of discrimination and racism directed against refugees and migrant workers who
arrival to Israel, Europe and Germany in particular.
Racist statements that were spread by public officials, accusing refugees
to be presenting an existential threat to the state, encouraged exploitation of
these population by their employers, persecution
by the immigration police, etc.,
In consequence, became refugees and migrant workers, a weakened and
vulnerable target group on its exposure to racism.
The delegation idea is to try to understand the tragedy of the Refugees
in a comparative perspective, to learn how other communities deal with the
issue of racism, a phenomenon that marred the daily European and Israeli both societies.
