Netanyahu: Israel not indifferent, but can't absorb Syrian or African refugees

While Israel is not indifferent to the human tragedy of refugees from Syria and Africa, it is a small country that cannot throw its doors open to them, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday.

My understanding is that there is a refusal to take in their Muslim brothers by those with the financial ability and lots of unused land, namely Saudi Arabia and the Eremites, and other Gulf States. The Europeans ought insist the Arabs with their immense wealth take care of their own.

After all if Muslims could be more tolerant of the differences between Shia and Sunni beliefs they could agree to live in peace and stop the terrorism which has left a blemish on Islam. Cutting off peoples heads like these folks like doing is a very good reason to let the Arabs handle this problem of their own making

The Arabs have got an entire other earth that they can fill with refugees...

What ever happened to Hillary’s “Arab spring” thing? Why isn’t Egypt taking in these “refugees”? (Maybe they are but I haven’t seen any proof of it.) Why are they all trying to get into Europe?

Israel takes Jewish refugees. let the arab muslim countries take care of arab muslims.

Why do the Israelis insist on refusing to commit suicide? It’s a puzzle to me. /s

“Netanyahu’s comments, made at the opening of Sunday’s weekly cabinet meeting, came a day after opposition leader Isaac Herzog (Zionist Union) called on the government to absorb refugees from Syria.”

This Herzog guy needs to be JAILED FOR TREASON.

I don’t hear about S.American countries or Asian countries offering to take them in. Maybe they have, but I just don’t hear about it.

Siberia is largely empty. Send them there.
