There have been numerous reports, photos and videos confirming these anti-Jewish acts. Such requests must be submitted to the Ministry of the Interior by their families in Israel and this cannot be done from Ethiopia. The fact is he is not. Why is Ethiopia the only country in which no applications for aliyah may be submitted by the applicants. If Jews are eligible why are they not on planes.
Planes are available.
YES, if Jews are suffering and we have the ability to assist them, world Jewry in general and Mr. Rosenberg's agency in particular are morally, ethically and halachically obligated. Since July, total aliya from Ethiopia, has been at rates between 6 and 56 individuals per month. The total for the four month period being around 100 immigrants. The ministry of the interior determines eligibility under the law of return and the JDC provides humanitarian and medical assistance to those families being processed in the interim period until they are issued the necessary documentation to be brought to Israel by the Jewish Agency. In fact the JDC is not providing medical assistance to families being processed, but only minimal care to the very few families who have been approved and are due to leave within one or two weeks.
