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 immigration board expressed almost
no doubt about persecutions we survived in Israel or even recognized the harshness of these persecutions. But the point is that they claim ... we are guilty in
the persecutions ourselves - and therefore they don't worry about our souls and our lives... So, this is not even a tribunal, but a brutal act of a vengeance.
sp;* The court's negative decision (resume) was made and expressed in an inappropriate manner without any clear connection to our real case.
The decision was clearly made by the immigration officer, not by the judges. She is an Israeli patriot and she hates the Russian-speaking people. Everything
what is expressed in the decision document is basicly a lie. The text of that document is politically motivated and juridically illegal. This is just the next stage of
injustice.

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.
