The Scramble for Africa, reloaded.
In today's Haaretz:
Jewish philanthropists are bringing orphans from Rwanda to Israel. (Uprooting them, taking them to a country that treats it's black citizens as 2nd class and non Jewish as 3rd, and discarded the blood donated by it's ethiopian citizens, and oh... i forget... with an ongoing conflict and occupation of the Territories - that's going to solve their problems!)
She quotes "Altneuland" by Theodor Herzl, who sought to alter the fate of the Jewish People, as well as "to assist in the redemption of Africans." Indeed, she sees the Yemin Orde project as the "fulfillment of Zionism." If Judaism improves the world, Israel must be a "light unto nations." [emphases mine]
Ah, the Jewish Man's burden. Please be a light unto my nation....
