Washington Post:

“First of all, we have a much, much tougher refugee program than the Europeans have,” Chertoff said. “The problem the Europeans have is people showed up on their doorstep — hundreds of thousands, coming directly from the region. That does not happen in the U.S. We check people very carefully before we admit them as refugees.”

…“The idea that you can identify people who are a risk based upon their religion or the way they look is completely fallacious. It’s like going after cancer with a meat axe instead of a scalpel.”

I think I’ll side with Trump on this one. What non-Muslim country has been improved by Muslims?

Most terrorists in the West today are Muslim. Islam has been at war with the West for 1500 years. Why would it change?

Low IQ people are a horror show to try to deal with in life, not just on the roads and at work, but also in the line at Ralphs. People on welfare tend to be worse behaved than other groups and they often seem to feel more entitled.

Racial diversity destroys social capital. The more diverse Europe becomes, the more frayed it will be.

As Jason Richwine wrote in 2009:

[Robert] Putnam began by telling us about one result he encountered that was thoroughly upsetting to him—the more ethnically diverse a community is, the less social capital it possesses. When a person lives in a diverse community, he trusts everyone less, including those of his own ethnic group.

So how did Putnam come to conclude that ethnic diversity is so problematic? The answer begins with the notion of “social capital,” which Putnam defines in simple terms—“social networks and the associated norms of reciprocity and trustworthiness.” Social capital turns out to be an exceptionally valuable commodity. Building complex networks of friends and associates, trusting others to keep their word, and maintaining social norms and expectations all grease the wheels of business by enabling cooperation.

But the value of social capital goes well beyond economics. Many of the activities from which people draw the most deep and lasting satisfactions are stronger and more prevalent in areas with high social capital. People living in these places tend to have more friends, care more about their community, and participate more in civic causes. Where social capital is greater, Putnam says, “children grow up healthier, safer, and better educated; people live longer, happier lives; and democracy and the economy work better.”

Gypsies have lived in Europe for hundreds of years and they still have not assimilated. Is that Europe’s fault? Gypsies, like Muslims, have low IQs and are not assimilable.

Christians have been struggling with Jews and Muslims for over a millennia because these individual groups have different interests that repeatedly clash with each other.

Rabbi Cooper writes:

There is one other gaping hole in the leadership of the EU: 70 years after the Shoah, rabid anti-Semitism and hate for the Jewish state infect an estimated 150 million Europeans. Seven decades after the defeat of Nazism, European governments and nongovernmental organizations have been silent over the ethnic cleansing, murder and serial rape of tens of thousands of Christians and other minorities across the Middle East.

No group likes to comes to terms with its distasteful past. I don’t recall much of an effort in Jewish life to come to terms with the millions of Jews who supported communism. Jews played a big role in carrying out Stalin’s genocides. All of the Americans who illegally passed nuclear secrets to the Soviet Union to build their first bomb were Jews.

I’m not listing this off to say that Jews are rotten. Jews, like all peoples, have good and bad in their history. I just don’t understand how this rabbi gets away with bashing the goyim for acting as Israel does with unwanted refugees. Rabbi Cooper rips Europe for not coming to terms with the Holocaust but he never says a peep about Jews not coming to terms with the genocides they helped carry out for Joe Stalin.
