acsioma that Israel is a democratic state (society). Such a declaration lays beyond the juridical matter: Because there is not in jurisdiction of

an immigration board to decide which state is a democracy and which is not. This is a privilege of an academic institution but not of an

executive board. Then it is an act of injustice to declare that Israel is a democracy in an imperative manner giving the refugee claimants no

possibility to present their view and their counterarguments. It is clear from what was discussed during our immigration hearings that Israel

has almost nothing in common with democracy. A permission to leave the country, an indication of nationality and the country of origin in

special enternal passports, a supremacy of the religious laws over the civil code, a right for a military committee to decide who is a single

son - and who's not, an imprisonment for months without an official accusation: All these and hundreds of other Israeli laws are suitable

may be for a mental hospital - but not for a "democratic society". An opinion expressed by the document that we should not escape to

Canada but should seek a help in Israel also has nothing what to do with the reality. We did everything to defend ourselves in Israel, and G.

as a journalist and the human righta activist did everything that was possible to help us.He presented tenth of receipts of his complains to

various ministries and organizations including the Ministry of Police, the Ministry of internal affairs and police, which were unanswered, to

the immigration committee. The sad truth is that the committee just ignores everything. And recognize only the ungrounded Israel's

declarations. And the immigration officer - a person who sends faxes to Israeli embassy, obtains documents there;in other words who's in

tight connection with Israelis - is the only person who has a decidable voice in the refugees from Israel cases... Isn't that sad?!

We can not go back to Israel under no condition, because

1) my husband and my son may be arrested by the militaries and imprisoned. I expressed my grounded fears about that during the hearings

– and I can widen them now. 2) How can we go back to Israel if the immigration officer informed the Israelis about our refugee claim? In

Israel where the ideology and the patriotic education play a very important role we will be considered as "traitors" and will be persecuted for

that, too. 3) Persecutions against us in Israel were so strong that if we would be send back to Israel we will die. 4) After receiving so called

"21-st military profile" my son has no future in Israel: Because in Israel people who are given that "profile" can not study, and nobody will

employ my son with such a "profile". 5) After all the persecutions we faced in Israel we feel fear - and we are afraid to go back; our fear, our

psychological tremor towards Israel are so strong that there is impossible for us to live in Israel any more. In the name of God, in the name

of Justice - HELP US!!!

CONCLUSIONS: our 2 immigration hearings (as well as hearings in G. case) have nothing in common with any legal procedure. They rather

remine of an incuisition court or a secret political tribunal. This tribunal was arranged to punish us for flieding Israel and G.
– for his

ideological views - not to decide whether or not our (ours and G. family's) claim for a refugee status is justified. It was used for the political

purposes: To "show" how just any information about human rights violations in Israel which not concerns Arabs can be calmed down - and

to express a huge pro-Israel propaganda. They made clear that they treat our escape from Israel as a mutiny and will never admit the very

fact that we are in Canada, in Quebec, not in Israel. Their words, their behavior - everything - was meant to show us that we could only

deserve to be treated according to the Canadian rules after getting a refugee status. Before that we don't deserve to be treated by

Canadian rules. That's why we were treated according to the rules and norms of Israel!!! It hard to find a more violative ritual of humiliations

over the juridical norms then that... It is absolutely clear for the judges - as well as for ourselves - that we were severely persecuted in Israel,

that all members of our family were severely abused and that the definite casualties were inflicted to our health, including our son. It is also

absolutely clear to the judges that the deportation back to Israel is a death penalty for all members of our family. The tricky thing is that the
