Israel is to deport 40,000 African asylum seekers

Why is Israel the only "Western democracy" that is allowed to build fences and walls to keep others out, and forcibly deport people to random areas? We are told that they are the smartest people on Earth, yet they somehow have created a country where these things are happening? How have they managed to not get the message from our highly esteemed intellectuals and university professors (many of whom are dual citizens or eligible for Israeli citizenship)? What about the message from our mainstream media and Hollywood celebrities? Diversity is our greatest strength, and our civilizations work better when people from all around the world can interact with each other and share their cultures with one another. That's the dominant narrative here in the rest of the West, so why not Israel? Why wouldn't these 40,000 Africans make Israel a better place?

 

Interesting. What do you think would happen to Israel if they didn't keep their neighbors out? Since you think they should be obligated to accept those who came in illegally, I would like to point out that there is a program where you can personally sponsor a family and let them live with you. How many would you like?

 

Well, all you Israel haters should be happy that Israel is not forcing these people to live in their horrible evil country.

 

nonsense.

lots of Western nations have border fences and deport illegals, including European nations.

 

It's not random. They are paying other countries for it, and give refugees the choice to either be confined or go live over there. No doubt this all is costing Israel millions and millions of bucks to keep the country as racial pure as possible. Besides... immigrants are often kicked out of European countries. There is a fence around the EU to hold them back. You're living the lie.

 

We are told that diversity is what makes the West the great place that it is, and people who support building walls in US and Europe are "racist" for wanting to keep brown people out, but Israel can do this in their country? Aren't they a fellow Western country?

 

Those Africans just wanted a better place for themselves and their children. Why would Israel not want to share their country with these folk? They're a rich and prosperous country, and diversity is what makes the West great. They're a Western country, right? Our greatest ally, in fact?

 

The US is called racist for wanting a border with Mexico. Trump is deporting illegals and it's called racist because they are brown Hispanics.

 

Really? Do you support the left's 'diversity' demands for the USA? Not from what I remember you posting. It seems to me that you are holding Israel to a different standard because you don't like it.

 

to be honest they are an incredibly small Western nation with very little habitable land.

You wanna be the one to tell 40,000 African refugees they have to live in the Negev desert?

 

I just want Israel, our fellow Western country and greatest ally, to experience the wonderful fruits of diversity, which has done so much to enrich our countries and make it a better place. I just don't see how they can not get the message from our smartest intellectuals who all agree diversity is our greatest strength.

 

I think they have plenty of room to spare. They're building new settlements all the time. Move them in there!

 

No, its called racist cause Trump and his minions constantly attack and race-bait against Hispanics: "They're murderers, they're rapists".

 

oh so now you support illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank, as long as they are used for African refugees?

interesting turn of events.

 

And how many of these diversity peons will you be taking into your house?

 

Most of Israel's territory is uninhabitable desert.

 

I'm an American, my country has already been "culturally enriched". You see it everywhere. It's made America a better place. Ask any sociology professor or Hollywood celebrity. Why wouldn't Israelis want the same thing for their country? Diversity is our greatest strength.

 

I think African refugees would culturally enrich Israel and make it a better place. Our most enlightened intellectuals all agree that diversity has made America better, why wouldn't it work in Israel the same way?

 

But a lot of the refugees are coming from a similar environment. Wouldn't their lives be better living in Israel compared to their own war-torn countries?

 

Israel currently has a population density of 1,023.0/sq mi.

The USA has 90.6/sq mi.

 

no, living in the middle of the desert would be WORSE.

Israel has a population density almost 10x as much as the USA.

 

When was the last time you agreed with them except to try to poke a finger in Israel's eye?

 

Too bad for the rest of us.

 

Israel has very limited water and food resources.

Much of their territory is uninhabitable desert.

Yes they should do their part but we should be realistic with regards to their resources.

Plus they have 10x the population density of the USA.

 

Where'd you get these stats? I'm seeing Israel at around 320 per square mile, not over 1,000.
