Ninety laboratory monkeys are to be sent to the United States in a few days from an experimental facility in Moshav Mazor. The High Court of Justice issued a temporary restraining order against their export.
Some 700 asylum seekers from South Sudan are also to be deported in a few days and no restraining order will prevent their expulsion.
El Al Airlines, like many other airlines worldwide, refuses to fly animals for experimentation, but with foreigners who are forcibly and cruelly deported from here, airlines have no compunctions. They fly them unhesitatingly, even when the deportation is accompanied by violence on the part of the policeman involved in it.
I once took a flight to Amsterdam on board which was such a deportee. The heartrending cries of the cuffed African did not stop from the moment of takeoff at Ben-Gurion airport until landing at Schiphol. I will never forget it. If, God forbid, either the monkeys or the humans are expelled, their fate will be sealed. One guess: The monkeys will not be deported, the Sudanese will.
