AN ADJUSTMENT

We came to Israel in 1990; as many other people we had a hope for a better life. As the most of Russian-speaking people we were "welcomed" by a malicious anger, the state

unti-Russian propaganda and the most severe discrimination. Our son was 15 when we came to Israel. Each of us (including our son) was assaulted, abused, beaten,

discriminated against. The ignorance of what is going on in Israel with the Russian-speaking people can not make what our friends and we suffered from in Israel unreal.

Batteries, assaults, abuses were real and happened to us in real life. If my son could come to school and could hear a discussion about the last article in a Hebrew newspaper, in

which "Russians" were called sons of a bitch, prostitutes, fools and thieves: was it "unreal"? And the computer games in Hebrew accompanied by songs with words like

"Russians, go home": They were as real as the real life. And the social climate in Israel is so horrible that if a child is beaten at school "because he's Russian" - he is forced

to feel guilty himself as if he's guilty in not being an Israeli but being a Russian.

Any person with conciseness (a journalist, immigration official, a human right organization official) could take a translator from Hebrew, go to a library or to an archive and

find articles in Hebrew newspapers which have highly aggressive untie-Russian contest. And what about thousands of articles in Russian newspapers published in Israel about

what can be called almost genocide against "Russians"?

When they began to call my son to a draft board (because Israel has a compulsory military service) he asked an alternative military service each time they called him: because

he was afraid of hostility towards "Russians" within the Israeli army and also because of the rule that a single son can not be taken into the front-line units against his will.

They gave him no decision, but kept ordering him to come to the draft point again and again.

One day a new routine order to come to the draft point arrived. My son was ordered to come one day - but the order has been sent one day later then the date of his appearance. A

couple of other days past before he got the order. But as soon as he got it he immediately went to the draft board.

When he came they have arrested him incriminating him a disobedience to the order to come. No excuse, no explanation was admitted. Everything happened so fast that there is

no doubt: they were prepared. So, they have submitted this order for him later then the date he was called to intentionally. He was accused in a refusal to come to the draft board

(they ignored that he arrived voluntarily) and in avoiding the military service. They have treated him like if he already was a soldier and flied from a military unit. He was also

given a soldier's number as if he was a soldier when in reality he never entered the army and never wearied a military uniform. When he admitted that he's going to become

mentally ill because of the military prison they refused to give him a Russian-speaking psychologist, and the Hebrew- speaking psychologist couldn't speak with our son, but

wrote a report based on ungrounded insinuations. When later a Russian-speaking psychologist appeared he translated him that report but told that it is impossible now to

dispute what the Israeli wrote.

When our son was in the military prison severe humiliations were committed over him. All the violations of the rules and of the moral norms in his case were too innumerable

to mention them. During his imprisonment our son was transformed from a healthy person to a mentally ill boy. When he was released from the military prison (he was in the

prison more then 3 months; no charges were posed against him, no court took place) the military medical committee recognized him as a mentally ill person. When he was just

imprisoned he was recognized as a fully healthy person suitable to the military service. He received some treatment here, in Canada, and the immigration board knows it. We

did everything we could to release our son from the military prison. But the civil lawyers refused to take his case as soon as they heard about the conflict with the army. Some

of them assaulted us refusing to take the case. We demanded a military lawyer but the military commandature in Jaffo denied us a military lawyer. We turned to all the

possible places like Israel Bar Association,human rights organizations, Sharansky's Zionist Forum, Israel and foreign media, state officials: nobody couldn't or didn't want to

help us. Then we decided to send a letter to Amnesty International. A friend of us - a dissident and a journalist Lev G. - has contacted Amnesty International and later submitted

several faxes to them. When the authorities realized that we complained to Amnesty International they released our son from the military prison.

We couldn't live in Israel any more after what happened to us and to our son there, and also because we were afraid that our son can be arrested again if we will stay in Israel.

The only reasonable solution for us was to escape. And the only way to do it was to become refugee claimants. We flied to Montreal in November 1994.

I don't want describe the whole farce of so called "immigration hearings". There were 2 of them.

Any positive decision couldn't be taken in our case since the immigration officer assigned to our case is a Jew, probably, an Israeli, and she hates the Russian-speaking

people. We prove in our later appeal that it was her who took the decision in our case.

Several months ago when our son was on a party, one gay called him out and took him to a car.

That gay was drunk. When driving the car he damaged several parked vehicles. Later we discovered that he took another person's car.

Despite the clear evidences that not my son drove the car police accused him. We also have an audiotape where that other boy recognizes that he (not our son) was guilty. There

is a recorded telephone conversation on this tape. Just everything was ignored during the first criminal hearing in that case. Of cause it looks as if my son accompanied that

gay - it's enough to accuse him. But you must take into consideration that he is psychologically, mentally ill after Israeli military prison. A healthy person could refuse to hear

what that gay told him but my son is a sick person!

I believe that this was MOSSAD's provocation, and I believe that the politicians are still behind everything what is going on around us.

If somebody can do something to help us to avoid deportation to Israel, HELP US!!!

DO SOMETHING!!!

Sincerely yours, Ludmila Metelnitsky

FROM: Alexander Orlovsky

PH.D. in computer science, system analyst. Winner of a gold medal for computer system "BRIG" in CAD-CAM spheres at the National Exibition of the

USSR in Moscow in 1988. Human rights activist with huge influence in 1991-1992 in Israel. Author of the "Program of Development of Israel", which had

received high rate from the group of prominent economists in Israel (with the leadership of professor Reihman - University of Tel-Aviv,- the author of the

project of the Constitution of Israel).

Subject: Violation of the United Nation Refugee Convention signed by Canada towards refugee claimants from Israel:

As a refugee claimant from Israel who lived in Canada five years, I posess much information and numerous proofs that IRB-s in Toronto and Montreal use a

hidden discriminatory policy toward ex-Soviet Jews and their families who have arrived in Canada via Israel. We would also like to draw your attention to

permanent discrimination of these people, which takes place in Israel. That discrimination forced masses of them - talented, highly educated and highly skilled,

who could not get rooted in Israel - to seek a refuge in Canada, the country, which guarantees human rights and had signed the International Human Rights

Convention and UN Refugee Convention.

During the last few years, these people have constantly encountered an unexplainable bias and prejudism not only in the Immigration and Refugee Boards

(IRBs), but at every level of the Ministry of Immigration. I consider that it is my duty to draw your attention to the fact that the minister of Immigration Mrs.

Lucienne Robillard, who has been elected at West Mount district in Montreal (Grand Montreal area), openly carries out a lobbying policy under the influence

of the Canadian Jewish Congress fulfilling their wishes: the ex-Soviet Jews from Israel are "PERSONA NON GRATA"s in Canada. Mrs. Lucienn Robillard

is a convert to Judaism; she had repeatedly visited Israel during six years to work in the Israeli Kibbutz. She has demonstrated her sincere love to the state of

Israel and to Zionism. How could occur that it was not clear that as the Minister of Immigration such a person could not be impartial in her policy, which

influencing the fate of thousands of refugees from Israel? The IRBs and her Ministry are totally, and systematically ignoring the following facts:

1. Tortures and abuse of power by police in Israel. (Appendix # 1)

2. Brutal persecution of the dissidents, even members of knesset and government. (Appendix # 2)

3. Brutal persecutions of people whose religions is not Judaism, and ethnic minorities. (Appendix # 3)

4. Persecution of missionary activists. (Appendix # 4)

5. Severe abuse of children and women, especially non-Jews. (Appendix # 5) 6. Extreme political power of the ultra orthodox Jews and the tyrrany of the

religious courts in Israel. (Appendix # 6)

7. Lack of the Constitution. (Appendix # 7)

8. Lack of parliamentary elections and accountability of the MPs like in the western countries. (Appendix # 8)

9. Lack of an independent judicial system and powerless of the human rights group etc. (Appendix # 9)

I would like to draw your attention also to the fact that the ex-husband of Mrs. Robillard, (Head of the Israeli-Canadian organization) was removed from

Israeli refugee cases as a judge in Montreal because of his passionate partiality and violations of the rules. I hope, that you will not consider this letter as an

attempt to put pressure on the government. Our goal is to draw your attention to that problem. Actions of the Ministry of Immigration and Refugee Board put

under a doubt the Justice of Canada's immigration policy as whole, and make a bad image in the world. I am sure that You, the Parliament and the whole
