The key word here is “iz-zejjed.” I suppose the reasoning here was that it would have been acceptable if they were just “hniezer.”

Thousands of Germans agreed with Hitler’s views at the time. Did that make them right?

The majority share his views. Even the thought of allowing illegal immigrants the right to vote is just crazy and out of this world.

[Daphne – I missed the bit where Aditus says that illegal immigrants should have the vote. Where did you read it? They said that migrants should have the vote – in other words, the legal ones, with ID cards. Illegal migrants do not have ID cards and so can’t vote.]

Refugees and illegal immigrants are the same thing. Bottom line is that they came here illegally without documentation and that they are not wanted by the majority of the Maltese.

[Daphne – You are very confused. They are most definitely not the same: a refugee is by definition not an illegal immigrant.]

Maltese emigrated legally, through the proper channels and with the proper documents.

Illegal immigrants do not.

[Daphne – They most definitely did not. Shiploads of Maltese people were left outside Sydney harbour in the 1950s because the immigrant quota for ‘coloured people’ had been filled. Many Maltese of my generation emigrated illegally: flew out on a tourist visa and overstayed. Immigrant quotas and immigrant permits are fairly recent things. Before World War II, you just shipped yourself out, got off the boat on Ellis Island, were fumigated, and stayed.]

They were full of hatred against this black man as if he wasn’t a human being at all.

Shame on us.

How and when has the Church targeted immigrants and tried to eliminate most of the Maltese if they could ? Couldn’t find it in my history books .

Hello, who is that in the photo on ‘My time is Now’? Well it certainly isn’t Mr. Grima NOW. He is by far double that size today and that was his face 30 years ago.
