-Caveat Lector- I recall another time and another country where government officials called some in their country "lice" and "vermin." I think it was a country in Europe and was about 60 years ago. flw The Washington Post Israeli Official Calls Illegal Palestinians 'Lice' Associated Press Tuesday, July 3, 2001; Page A12 JERUSALEM, July 2 -- Israel's tourism minister today referred to Palestinians working and living illegally in Israel as "lice" and a "cancer" that must be stopped from spreading. The minister, Rehavam Zeevi, heads the far-right Moledet party that advocates the expulsion of Arabs living under Israeli rule. He has often made derogatory remarks about Palestinians, His inclusion in Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's center-right coalition sparked protests earlier this year. Speaking on Israel army radio, Zeevi said about 180,000 Palestinians live in Israel illegally. He added: "They arrived here and are trying to become citizens because they want social security and welfare payments. We should get rid of the ones who are not Israeli citizens the same way you get rid of lice. We have to stop this cancer from spreading within us." � 2001 The Washington Post Company <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
