Weekly Standard: Jewish Immigration Group Fights to Bring Syrian Refugees to America

I hope the Syrian refugees all move into Park Slope and Westchester and Foggy Bottom, where the elites in Washington live.

I wonder what the Israelis would do to a prime minister that was determined to make the Jews a minority in their own country?

Of course, the Jews would be totally fine with an Arab or African Prime Minister. An Ethiopian “Jew” is totally going to be elected in our lifetime.

In their own country, Jews always go the extra distance for multiculturalism. Nothing is more important to Israelis than showing they aren’t racist.

Am I a racist for wanting my president to be white like me? I can’t imagine the Nigerians would be happy with a white leader or the Japs with a black leader.

Daniel Halper writes:

A top Jewish immigration group — an organization “Founded in 1881 originally to assist Jews fleeing pogroms in Russia and Eastern Europe” — is fighting to bring Syrian refugees to America. The group is called HIAS, which once meant Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society.

Mark Hetfield, the president and CEO of HIAS, emailed supporters last week to thank them for their generosity.

“We are leading the American Jewish response to the Syrian refugee crisis. We are on the ground in Europe and, more importantly, demanding that our own government and others around the world take bold action to ensure that Syrian refugees can rebuild their lives in safety and freedom,” Hetfield boasted.

On its website, the Jewish group is calling for the United States to bring in 100,000 Syrian refugees.

“Stories and photos documenting the unspeakably tragic plight of Syrian refugees have shocked the world.

“We cannot stand by idly and watch the largest humanitarian crisis of our generation unfold. Our country and the American Jewish community must step in now to provide protection and aid for Syrian refugees,” Hias writes on its website.

“Secretary of State Kerry recently announced that the United States will take in 15,000 refugees above our normal refugee resettlement operations (85,000 in total in Fiscal Year 2016, 100,000 in 2017). This is a symbolic gesture—not a response to a crisis.

“Please ask the President to resettle 100,000 Syrian refugees in the United States, to provide aid to the severely underfunded humanitarian efforts abroad, and to make resolution of the conflict in Syria a foreign policy priority.”

By contrast, the Jerusalem Post reports:

BERLIN – Germany’s security and intelligence agencies expressed alarm over the influx of refugees and migrants who harbor radical Islamic views and hatred of Jews, according to a Sunday report in Welt am Sonntag.

According to a security document obtained by the paper and read by top-level agency personnel, “We are importing Islamic extremism, Arab anti-Semitism, national and ethnic conflicts of other peoples as well as a different societal and legal understanding.”

The newspaper wrote that security sources warn that “the integration of hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants Germany is no longer possible in light of the number and already existing parallel societies.”

The term “parallel societies” in Germany is frequently defined as insulated Muslim communities that have little or no contact with mainstream society.

The document, called “the non-paper” because it was not signed, stated: “German security agencies…will not be in the position to solve these imported security problems and thereby the arising reactions from Germany’s population.”
