Netanyahu say's hell no to "refugees"

[DigitalDrifter]

Netanyahu understands his first loyalty is to preserving his country's culture and the well being of it's citizens. He knows the more Muslims come in, the more likely Israel's future will be in jeopardy.
Wish European leaders would show the same responsibility to it's citizens.


Netanyahu says will not allow Israel to be 'submerged' by refugees

Jerusalem (AFP) - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday said he would not allow Israel to be "submerged" by refugees after calls for the Jewish state to take in those fleeing Syria's war.

Speaking at the weekly cabinet meeting, Netanyahu also announced the start of construction of a fence along Israel's border with Jordan, according to his office.

"We will not allow Israel to be submerged by a wave of illegal migrants and terrorist activists," Netanyahu said.

"Israel is not indifferent to the human tragedy of Syrian and African refugees... but Israel is a small country -- very small -- without demographic or geographic depth. That is why we must control our borders."

Opposition leader Isaac Herzog on Saturday said Israel should take in Syrian refugees, recalling the plight of Jews who sought refuge from past conflicts.

Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas also called for Israel to allow Palestinians from refugee camps in Syria to travel to the Palestinian territories, whose external borders are controlled by the Jewish state.

There is already hostility in Israel toward asylum-seekers from Africa and a concerted government effort to repatriate them.

Rights groups say thousands of African asylum seekers have been coerced into "voluntary" departures.

Official figures show 45,000 illegal immigrants are in Israel, almost all from Eritrea and Sudan. Most of those not in detention live in poor areas of southern Tel Aviv, where there have been several protests against them.



- 'To the Golan heights' -



The start of construction of the 30-kilometre (19-mile) fence announced by Netanyahu involves extension of a security barrier to part of its eastern border with Jordan in a bid to keep out militants and illegal migrants.

Netanyahu said when it was approved in June that the new fence was a continuation of a 240-kilometre barrier built along the Egyptian border which "blocked the entry of illegal migrants into Israel and the various terrorist movements".

In its first stage, the new fence is being built along Israel's eastern border between Eilat and where a new airport will be built in the Timna Valley.

"We will continue the fence up to the Golan Heights," Netanyahu said.

That would take it into the Israeli-occupied West Bank along the Jordan Valley, an area which is already under Israeli military control but is claimed by the Palestinians as part of their state.

Israel has insisted on maintaining troops in the area in any final peace agreement, a stance completely rejected by the Palestinians who say it would be a violation of their sovereignty and merely perpetuate the occupation.

Israel also has a fence that runs along the Syrian frontier through the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.

Those fences are in addition to a barrier that runs through the West Bank, which Israel began building during the second Palestinian intifada, or uprising, which lasted from 2000-2005.

Israel seized 1,200 square kilometres (460 square miles) of the Golan from Syria in the 1967 Six Day War and annexed it 14 years later, in a move never recognised by the international community.

Smart man

 

[TheOldSchool]

Of course not. Israel is for the Jews, and the Jews alone. Can't let any more Christians or Muslims get in there.

 

[HappyJoy]

When someone says that muslims are not apart of Israeli culture, they don't know what they are talking about

I remember Netanyahu drawing last minute votes by warning people that Arab Muslims are voting too. Can't let those people have a voice no way.

 

[DarkFury]

He did the right thing unlike our worthless pile of crap.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Of course not. Israel is for the Jews, and the Jews alone. Can't let any more Christians or Muslims get in there.

As the man said, Israel is a very small country, and knowing how Muslims feel about Jews it would be a recipe for disaster if they allowed a massive wave of these people in.
Let places like Saudi Arabia that have similar cultures take them.

Democrat trators are currently pushing for 65000 Syrians to be given refuge here in the U.S..

But as we all know Israel is a Jewish state, and that's the whole point of it's existence.

Sure we'll take people like this:

I hope he's not relocated somewhere with lots of conservatives, where he'll be greeted with ugly hate and racism that embarrasses America.

INDONESIA should take them ------Indonesia should send transports (ships would be good) and pick up a few hundred thousand

There are plenty of Arab countries. Why don't they take them in?

Because they are full of people like you, fanatical religious xenophobes.

You said Muslims were not apart of Israeli culture, you're wrong. VERY wrong. Muslims make up more than 20% of the population. More so than Jews make up the U.S. population but we wouldn't exclude them from our culture, right?

I mean, unless you're a right wing xenophobic asshole that is.

Israel, we already know you respond to bottle rockets by blowing up hospitals, now you want to reject refugees?

who is "we"-------to what "bottle rockets" do this strange group of idiots (aka 'we') refer?

Palestinians will launch a tiny rocket and Israel will respond with a massive attack. The "we" is a figure of speech.

what are bottle rockets?

The Past and Future of the Refugee Crisis
The refugee crisis in Europe is one of those human tragedies for which there are no real solutions, despite how many shrill voices in the media may denounce those who fail to come up with a solution.

Some options may be better than others, but there is nothing that can honestly be called a solution. Nevertheless many countries, including the United States, could do a lot better.

The immediate problems are the masses of desperate men, women and children, fleeing from the wars and terrorism of the Middle East, who are flooding into Europe. But the present crisis cannot be dealt with as if it had no past and no future.

The future is in fact one of the biggest constraints on what can be done in the present. Anyone with a sense of decency and humanity would want to help those who have been through harrowing experiences and have arrived, exhausted and desperate, on the shores of Europe. But the story will not end there, if they do.

With refugees, as with all other human beings, the current generation will pass from the scene. Those who may be grateful to have found a refuge from the horrors of the Middle East will have a new generation of children in Europe, or in any other place of refuge, who will have no memory of the Middle East.

All the new generation will know is that they are not doing as well as other people in the country where they live. They will also know that the values of their culture clash with the values of the Western culture around them. And there will be no lack of "leaders" to tell them that they have been wronged, including some who will urge them to jihad.

Europeans have already seen this scenario play out in their midst, creating strife and even terrorism. Most of the Muslims may be peaceful people who are willing to live and let live. But it takes only a fraction who are not to create havoc.

No nation has an unlimited capacity to absorb immigrants of any sort, and especially immigrants whose cultures are not simply different, but antagonistic, to the values of the society in which they settle.

The inescapable reality is that it is an irreversible decision to admit a foreign population of any sort — but especially a foreign population that has a track record of remaining foreign.

The past, as well as the future, casts its shadow over the current refugee crisis. It may be no accident that President Obama is up in Alaska, talking about changing the name of Mount McKinley, while this massive human tragedy is unfolding in the Middle East and in Europe.

Barack Obama's decision to pull American troops out of Iraq, with happy talk about how he was ending a war, turned out to be a bitter mockery when the policy in fact opened the doors to new wars with unspeakable horrors in the present and incalculable consequences for the future.

The glib rhetoric that accompanied the pullout of American troops from Iraq was displayed once again when the rise of ISIS was dismissed as just a junior varsity team trying to look like a serious threat. But now that ISIS controls a big chunk of Iraq and a big chunk of Syria, it is the Obama foreign policy that looks like the work of a junior varsity team.

Undermining stable governments in Egypt and Libya that posed no threat to Western interests in the Middle East was another rhetoric-laden catastrophe of the Obama administration. No wonder President Obama does not want to get involved in the refugee crisis that his own policies did so much to create. Talking about renaming Mount McKinley seems far safer politically.
