VOI's Dov Lipman applauds the Supreme Court's decision that Israel cannot hold African refugees in any kind of incarceration for more than 12 months.
Dov believes that core Jewish values demand treating all human beings in a manner which befits those created “in God’s image.” He says that those who entered Israel illegally seeking jobs should be sent back to their countries of origin; those who are truly seeking refuge must be welcomed into Israel and assisted; and none should be imprisoned without end.
