African Refugees in Tel Aviv I


African refuges wait in a line to receive food organized by Israeli volunteers who bring food to the refuges in Levinsky Park, Tel Aviv. Each day the volunteers serve between 500 and 700 portions of food.

If you are the son, or the grandson of refuges wherever you are, take a good look at this images, then close your eyes and try to imagine your mother, or your grandfather waiting in in the line to receive food, and try also to imagine them been deported back to the places they escape from.

This problem needs a humanitarian solution, not a racist one. 

"The one who does not remember history is bound to live through it again. "
"Aquellos que no recuerdan el pasado, están condenados a repetirlo."
