….and reveals more about UN/Obama Administration plans for thousands of Syrians to arrive in the US soon!
Our “refugee” alerts are full and overflowing with Syrian news. Here is an article from the Business Insider which shows which countries are taking Syrian refugees (something we have reported many times).
But, what caught my eye was the criticism toward Israel for not taking in Syrians.
Readers, Israel is one of only a few countries in the world trying to save itself from being overwhelmed by the third world on the move. Everyone in their right mind can see that Israel would be committing suicide if it opened its tiny country to the mostly Muslim migrants on the move around the world.
Israeli Intransigence
Israel, which shares its northern border with Syria, has steadfastly refused to receive refugees.
Yuval Ben-Ami, an Israeli journalist and author based in Jaffa, told Business Insider, “at this point in its history, Israel seems determined to barricade itself, primarily of its immediate neighborhood.”
Ben-Ami says the idea of Israel accepting Syrian refugees is “extremely foreign” to Israelis, and that even refugee advocates speak little about the Syrian issue because it seems fruitless.
But near the end is another important part of this story. Once again we are being alerted to expect thousands of Syrians to arrive in the US soon.
We are going to be up there with Germany! 20,000?
While the United States is the largest donor to Syrian relief efforts, it has accepted only 63 Syrian refugees this year.
However, the UNHCR told Business Insider it expects the U.S. to rank up with Germany as one of the top two receivers of Syrians in 2015.
The U.N. said the U.S. accepted a request to load its resettlement intake toward the end of this year, with the organization already submitting 2,500 applications for consideration over the coming months.
