This research aims to trace the criminalization of African migration into Israel, taking as a case study the immigration policies adopted by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, elected in 2009. It will be argued that the State of Israel, built under the structural concepts of nation, difference and borders, in times of crisis and exacerbation of identity speeches, would raise these fundamental characteristics aiming to reinforce Israel as the homeland and the purpose of the Jewish people, criminalizing and depoliticizing all others seen as a menace to this process. Among the others, the thesis highlights the condition of African migrants, labeled illegal – or according to Israelis politicians, the infiltrators. Seen as a menace whom would deconstruct the political identity (the State), the migrants would be the reflection of a uneven and non-democratic system, nevertheless expressed as universal and democratic, which needs to reinforce itself as an solid institution which protects its citizens and its identity – in other words, it s purpose of existence. Therefore, this work aims to research: how the processes of criminalization of the African migration by the Israeli government of Prime-minister Benjamin Netanyahu might reflect the uneven and structural processes inherent of the international system of States?
