Many people, including myself, have questioned why Jewish activists only push for white gentile countries to take in Syrian refugees. Israel must have gotten the message that taking in some orphans would be good PR.
BBC:
Israel has for the first time approved a plan to give asylum to 100 children orphaned in the Syria conflict.
According to Israeli media reports, the children will initially get temporary residency status and allowed to stay indefinitely after four years.
Israel has technically been at war with Syria for decades, but has officially taken a position of neutrality in the current conflict.
It has however brought in thousands of casualties for medical treatment.
