There are about 5 million refugees outside Syria and more than 5 million internally displaced in Syria. 100 is nothing.
Sweden and Israel both have populations of about 10 million. Sweden has taken in 200-300 THOUSAND. Israel promises to take in 100 and pats itself on the back.
- siculars 10y agoIt has not come without a price though. Note the rabbid anti-semitism and general domestic issues including a considerable increase in rapes. All factors considered, Israel does more than its share to help the situation. Or perhaps they should take out Assad and bring this misery to an end. Or would that even end it?Perhaps you've heard of the many many Syrians who have sought and received medical assistance in Israel. Plenty of print on that.
- redsummer 10y agoIsrael should share the burden, especially as they are next door. 100 refugees is pathetic. 5 million refugees should be admitted right now. Isn't it strange that 1000 American rabbis can call on the US to accept Syrian refugees? Are there 1000 Israeli rabbis doing the same? Don't they remember Anne Frank? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/israel/11847304/Israel-prime-minister-Benjamin-Netanyahu-rejects-calls-to-admit-Syrian-refugees.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/israel/... http://time.com/4135445/american-rabbis-syrian-refugee-letter/ http://time.com/4135445/american-rabbis-syrian-refugee-lette...
- saiya-jin 10y agoYeah but 100? we can talk nice all day and dance around it, but the most simple fact is, Israel ain't helping. what you describe can be said by any country. Shame on Israel (and all other not-my-issue countries).
