    BBC reported over a million migrants and refugees crossed into Europe in 2015 alone and have labeled it a crisis.

    So, I'm digging around to see what the hell is going on and I come across the following report. For those who love hypocisy, fasten your seat belt, grab some snacks, and enjoy.

    I, for one, honestly could not agree more with commentary. What say you?

    Expecting Israel, with it's "apartheid light" to accept displaced peoples that it discriminates against seems like putting the cart before the horse.

    Maybe we should work on doing OUR part as long as we're trying to fix Israel.

    Note the much smaller numbers going to the poorest European nations. So asylum appears to be less about staying alive, and more about fiscal advancement.

    So much for just wanting to stay alive - the defence bleat of the open borders brigade.

    Muslim countries should be accepting refugees but hey why not just send hordes of Muslims to take over Europe?

    The problem is Muslims don't assimilate well in western society. They like to beat their women and rape them and make them wear burkas and not let them drive or vote.

    France, Belgium, and other European nations have worked very hard to PREVENT Muslim immigrants from assimilating well.

    Muslims in the USA have assimilated very well.

    China's leadership is too intelligent for this kind of nonsense.

    They practically laughed when they were asked if they would accept any refugees. Unlike our leaders, their leaders believe in doing what is best for their country.

    Taiwan, China, Vietnam, Japan, South Korea, have taken in basically ZERO refugees.

    I know, and it's a testament to the competency of their governments. They have ancient traditions and value harmony, not division caused by misguided needs to increase "diversity."

    no, they are selfish.

    they could all afford to take in 10,000 refugees each.

    They choose to spend their money on other things, like their own needs. They are also secular countries who don't want crazy religions to gain any kind of foothold.

    How harmonious is Korea (you do realize they have a DMZ between them)?

    How harmonious is Vietnam?

    They had a gruesome civil war you might have heard of.

    And Japan?

    Seriously.

    You can't seriously imagine that the refugees in question would agree to go to any of these places?

    Muslim nations should be taking all the Muslim refugees. And so forth.

    Israel has taken in tens of thousands of refugees.

    for a tiny little nation with few natural resources and a 25% ethnic minority, that's a pretty big contribution.

    and considering how little refugees China, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea have taken, I say they're doing pretty well.

    Right. They're already well on their way to taking over.

    Much of the land these people are fleeing is arid and nonproductive. Why wouldn't they try to take over in a better country with better land if the occupants are stupid enough to let them in?

    Back on topic. How does this make sense?
