自2005年以来，约有60，000名寻求庇护者，主要来自厄立特里亚和苏丹，从埃及越过边境进入以色列。尽管犹太人有受迫害的历史，而且以色列是联合国保护难民公约的签署国，但现代以色列系统地拒绝给予寻求庇护者难民身份。自2012年以来，以色列政策制定者和国家代理人对寻求庇护者的顽固敌对态度导致了对他们的种族主义口头和身体攻击的爆发。本文分析了寻求庇护者在以色列的社会法律地位，通过研究他们的立场是如何由不同的政党表达，部署人权，公民身份，安全和主权的竞争话语。这篇文章提出，呼吁-主要是由关键的非政府组织（NGO），记者和学者-人权，犹太人的道德和历史的敏感性是欺骗性的;虽然他们唤起了同情和道德义务的希望，他们也被以色列主流政治家用来证明所谓的“非洲渗透者”的排斥和驱逐出境。“恐惧主义”的霸权意识形态--它给以色列民族叙事打上了烙印，并为犹太以色列人的公民身份观念提供了信息--导致将寻求庇护者视为卑鄙的他人，他们对犹太国家和犹太人自己获得公民身份的权利构成了威胁。
Since 2005 around 60,000 asylum seekers, mostly from Eritrea and Sudan, have entered Israel by crossing the border from Egypt. Notwithstanding the Jewish history of persecution, and Israel being a signatory to the UN Convention for the protection of refugees, modern Israel systematically refuses to grant a refugee status to asylum seekers. Since 2012, the tenacious hostile approach of Israeli policy-makers and state-agents towards asylum seekers has resulted in an outburst of racist verbal and physical attacks against them. This article analyses the socio-legal location of asylum seekers in Israel by examining how their position is articulated by different parties, deploying competing discourses of human rights, citizenship, security and sovereignty. The article advances that appeals—mostly made by critical non-governmental organisations (NGOs), journalists and academics—to human rights, Jewish morals and historic sensitivities are beguiling; while they arouse hopes for compassion and moral obligation, they are also used by mainstream Israeli politicians to justify the exclusion and deportation of so-called ‘African infiltrators’. A hegemonic ideology of ‘fearism’—which brands the Israeli national narrative and informs the notion of citizenship among Jewish Israelis—leads to the construction of asylum seekers as abject Others, who pose a threat to the Jewish state and to Jews' own right for secured citizenship.
