Complicated problem for Israel. Should they? Should they not? What about Abbas' move? The Palestinian refugees of the Syrian civil war are among the worst treated. And of course they are stateless.

On the other hand Israel is a small country in the middle of a large and complex conflict. The United States is a large and wealthy country. We could be taking a lot more than a couple of thousand.


Israel must welcome Syrian refugees: Labour's Herzog

Jerusalem (AFP) - Opposition Labour party leader Isaac Herzog called Saturday for Israel to take in Syrian refugees, recalling the plight of Jews who sought refuge from past conflicts.

"Our people has experienced first-hand the silence of the world and cannot be indifferent in the face of the murder and massacre raging in Syria," Herzog posted on his Facebook page.

Speaking at a panel discussion in Tel Aviv, he called on the government "to act toward receiving refugees from the war in Syria, in addition to the humanitarian efforts it is already making."

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

Official figures show there are 45,000 illegal immigrants in the Jewish state, almost all from Eritrea and Sudan.

Most of those who are not in detention centres live in poor areas on the south side of Tel Aviv, where there have been several protests against them.

Someone identifying himself as Sefi Kamrani wrote on Herzog's Facebook page: "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."

Meanwhile, Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas called on the United Nations Saturday to press Israel to allow Palestinians from refugee camps in Syria to take shelter in the Palestinian territories, whose external borders are controlled by the Jewish state.
 
Christian and druze, yes
Others if they clear back ground check.
For the immediate, some camps for emergency care and processing

Assad and ISIS need to be outed so the syrians can have their country back.

I would say Christians, Druze, Muslims and other religious minorities, all vetted, no religious discrimmination.

Agree that Assad and ISIS need to be outed. But how? I see no path at the moment.

UN is running out of money. Nearby states are over flooded and poorly equipt.

What about Abbas' plan?

The concern is vetting and keeping those from hezbullah and ISIS or Iran from sneaking in as refugees.

That means both shiites and sunni could be involved. It would be a slow process in some cases but some central processing camp needs to be set up in the golan to help them on a temporary basis.

You came out of your filthy Al-Qaeda shithole again to incite against Assad?

Assad doesn't need anyone to incite against him...he's doing it all by his lonesome.

He's proven his inability to govern and has broken his contract to his people through massive civilian attacks.

Better to take this up in another thread since this one is in IP and is more about Israel, Abbas and the refugee crisis.

I consider this a retreat from your hilarious claim.

What do you think will happen to the millions of refugees taking shelter in government controlled areas when Assad has been "outed"?

I figure the russians are propping up assad so as to kill more muslims. I can think of no other reason.

Israel should set up a safe haven zone in the golan and surrounding areas. I would not take in any, especially palestinians. the palestinans have proved themselves bad actors

At this point it's a total unkown - there is no legitimate governance in Syria, just territory held. I started a new thread on Assad specifically.

The Palestinians are not stateless at all as they have the west bank and gaza to go to. But like all muslims when the going gets tough the muslims run for the nearest cover, usually a country that they see as an enemy. Time to force the arab muslims hands by denying them access to the civilised nations and telling them to fight for their own country if they want peace.

They have been lied to and traduced and defrauded. Most of them know only what they are told. they would be good citizens if only their leaders would let them
