able to shut the border between israel and egypt takes credit for this and his message is that if we don't stop them we will get high off a million and we'll lose our. jewish identity here in israel so it's again it's like the spin on iran and posting and taro so these people. just are not part of us and this is trying to do human is a fiction of people and you know we have. about one hundred and fifty thousand illegal. immigrants from ukraine from europe but they're white and this doesn't seem to disturb you know but. you know. this is part of

a kind of racism that israel has to tackle and i'm afraid they're going to anyhow is riding on this fear instead of stopping it and unfortunately we'll find ourselves and we are riding on a tight one day where you will become the victims of this type. marches are getting underway in cities across australia to call for better treatment of people seeking asylum the palm sunday rallies are expected to take place in nineteen australian cities and her thomas is live for us in sydney enter this is quite an undertaking for such a large number to be expected. these are certainly the biggest protests of the year the biggest one in sydney there will be a very big one in melbourne five six thousand people expected here they got about three thousand last year but of course one year on people stuck on the ruined man i saw them go straight people who tried to come to it shows by but they've now been

there most of them. he is almost fifteen hundred people still in tension senses in those two places some have been resettled in the united states under a deal between the outgoing obama administration and australia about two hundred thirty one though in total a very small proportion of the overall number of people they absolutely talk to many people here this morning who say but i've not been to a rally before but i feel enough is enough and i want back government to start listening to them well i'm joined by that ramos in the refugee action coalition rick thanks for talking to al-jazeera and. many people have nevertheless is still on the stream of political issues in australia relatively small how would you get mainstream australia to engage in these talks well i think the first thing that has to happen under is that the government has to stop hiding the torture and despair that seems fitting in itself short ham's one of the reasons that the government sends people to now rule man the cylon or imprisons them beyond the public guys in

australia is precisely to keep the refugee issue out of the public arm it's been very successful doing that which is why these sorts of demonstrations which are happening all around the country today it's are important respects six thousand his acquittal a number in melbourne again though how do you get this on the australian media because internationally we cover this a lot all the chinese do as well but it's. buried away in the news and. most of the australian corporate media has been disgracefully complicit we feel strained political establishment it's an embarrassment for both parties. in signing that refugees have to be kept out but it's have to be turned back and the media has just not offered the conduct critical scrutiny of public policy but let me play devil's advocate all studies government would say that the policies of. people drowning at sea other countries could. be as good. for all the trauma inflicted on fifteen hundred people which is relatively small in the great scheme of the rift. this is

a policy that. people have not stopped drowning at sea and you only need to look at the tragedy unfolding in the mediterranean the refugees that a stockpiled in holding camps throughout the world to know that the australian government's actions do not stop death and destruction and suffering that compounds the problems of the refugee flows internationally and they add to the problem they don't solve it at all we saw the response when the government tried to deport a tamil family from a very small community in rural queensland just a few weeks ago that whole community rallied around them and we have almost one hundred thousand people on a petition calling on that family to be kept here in australia i think that reflects the real attitude of the australian community. about australians in a phobia. thank you very very much well. will probably kill three thousand people here people are still streaming in five minutes ago from here the protesters will march to another. and they have the full six thousand contingent as you said at the
