Jerusalm, Occupied Palestine -- Assassinated Israeli Tourism Minister
Rehavem Ze'evi had ties to ethnically-
based Jewish criminal organizations in Russia and the Former Soviet Union,
and
has been praviously tied to the trafficking of prostitutes and sex slaves
into
Israel from Russia and Eastern Europe, according to a series of Israeli
newspaper articles that ran in 1990 when Ze'evi was nominated to be
Minister of
Police by the government of Yitzhak Shmair.
Organized Jewish criminals in Russia, as highlighted in a Jeruslam Post
article
in 1999, have been involved in the transport of Russian and Eastern
European
women, either through actual kidnap or through promises of a new job and a
new
life, into Israel, where the women are raped and forced into prostitution.
This activity is tacitly approved of by extreme racist elements in the
Israeli
government, who upon ecnountering a sex slave, promptly arrest them for
entering the country without a visa and deport them before they can
testify
against their accusers. The Jeruslam Post article also discusses how
there is
no law in Israel against slavery, and thus police could not arrest the
slave-
traders in most situations even if they wanted to.
The articles regarding Ze'evi are not available on line, as no Israeli
newspapers have their articles archived back to 1990, but an article that
appeared in a recent edition of Forward hints at Ze'evi's connections to
organized crime (for those who want an immediate reference):
