Like the 403 other Congo nationals in Israel, Elijah (not his real name) faces deportation any time after January 5. He says he won’t go. “I’m not safe back in Congo. The same people who forced me to run away from there are still in power.”

Alan Dershowitz has a new cause. The criminal Israeli businessman, Dan Gertler, has looted the DR Congo, one of the poorest nations on earth.
