Herzog: Israel Should Take in Syrian Refugees
Arutz Sheva ^ | 5/9/15

Opposition leader Yitzhak Herzog has called on Israel to accept refugees from Syria, in addition to the humanitarian efforts it is already making.

Speaking at the weekly "Shabbatarbut" event in Tel Aviv, Herzog asserted that "Jews cannot be indifferent when hundreds of thousands of refugees are searching for a safe haven."

Israel has already been providing medical aid to Syrians injured near its borders.

But his comments proved controversial, as Israel is already struggling to deal with tens of thousands of illegal African immigrants claiming refugee status. In particular, working-class residents in neighborhoods in southern Tel Aviv - where most illegals live - say they are being made to pay the price of policies by the liberal elite.

Several Israelis reacted to Herzog's call on his Facebook page.

Someone identifying himself as Sefi Kamrani wrote: "Take all the refugees into your home if you're so worried about them. I'd like to see you live just one week in south Tel Aviv."

Herzog's comments came shortly after two major terrorist attacks in southern Syria, close to the border with Israel.

In one, at least 26 people were killed and scores more injured when two car bombs exploded in the city of Suweida.

Leftists are nuts period, it’s the same cancer that eats at them no matter where they come from.

They all seem to have a fascination with suicide.

Especially when its incredibly stupid. England, France and the U.S. all have major problems being caused by the influx of immigration. As far as I know Israel doesn’t. Maybe its because they’ve learned their lesson the hard way in centuries past.

“Opposition leader Yitzhak Herzog has called on Israel to accept refugees from Syria”

That is why he is the opposition leader and not PM.

If they take in Muslims they are bringing in an enemy sworn to Israel’s destruction.

But Israel should take Christian Syrians - they should prove to allies.

They’re like the Democrats. They’re traitors to their own country, too (tiny as it is).

Israel should only accept Jewish and Christian refugees.... NOT economic refugees...only people actually in danger.

the altruism of Judaism is irrational and irrationality leads to destruction

Jewish altruism is a hybrid of rationality and superrationality. You help the poor of your own family before those of your own city, and those of your own city before those of your country, and those of your country before those abroad. Herzog wants to destroy his own country in order to help the unfortunates of Syria. This is not Jewish. It is simply nuts.

Take a look at these “refugees.” They look more like ISIS or AQ terrorists to me.

Certainly not. Pakistan and Libya should take them.
