Jerusalem – Israel has begun building a fence along part of the country’s eastern border with Jordan as Syrian civil war refugees and other migrants flee their countries.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday: “We see today what happens when countries lose control of their borders.” He seemed to be referring to the massive influx of refugees from the war-torn Middle East and African migrants heading to Europe.
Netanyahu earlier bemoaned the “human tragedy” of Syria’s civil war and said Israel has aided its victims. However, he said Israel is too small to take them.
Israel already built fences along its border with Egypt to stop African migrants and in the Golan Heights bordering Syria.
Opposition leader Isaac Herzog said Saturday that Israel should take in a limited number of Syrian refugees.
That’s why Herzog was thankfully not voted in!
Why don’t the arab countries put all of the syrian refugees in camps just as they did with the palestinian people displaced in 1948 The palestinian refugees are prevented from relocating to other countries in order to use them as a political tool against the ”jews’ The palestinians should be revolting in all of the camps for being held hostage for all of these years
The USA should not take in any Syrian refugees. We’ve already taken in thousands of refugees from Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Some of them come here with the same cultural mentalities which they had in their home countries. For example, they engage in honor killings, when they perceive their daughters becoming “too westernized”. Also, it is doubtful that all of the refugees have all been thoroughly investigated, to prevent terrorists from slipping through. We are bursting at our seams with 325,000,000 people, including millions of undocumented (illegal) immigrants. We are no longer living in the times of the wild west, where areas of the country had to be populated. All immigration, both legal and illegal should be halted, until we correct our own problems (i.e. high unemployment, poverty, drugs, crime, homeless families, diseases, etc.).
I agree with Mr. Herzog and, further, they should be settledinto his neighborhood in Tel Aviv.
