Victims of NATO wars forced out of Syria won't find one in neighboring Israel. Israeli PM Netanyahu rejected calls for the country to take in Syrian refugees. Instead, he pledged to build an 18-mile border fence along the frontier with Jordan. The new 30km fence will be a continuation of a 240km barrier that already runs along the Egyptian border. The country also has a fence that runs along the Syrian frontier through the Golan Heights and occupied West Bank. "We will as much as possible surround Israel's borders with a sophisticated security fence that will allow us to control our borders," the hysterical Netanyahu said.Does he realise that, after walling the Palestinians into the largest open-air prison in the world, he is turning Israel into a fortress nation?

Bibi further commented, "Israel is not indifferent to the human tragedy of Syrian and African refugees... but Israel is a small country, very small, without demographic or geographic depth. That is why we must control our borders". This is an interesting statement, because in February this year, following 'terror' attacks in France and Copenhagen, Netanyahu called for the mass migration of European Jews to Israel.

On Sunday February 15th, he told the Jewish population residing in Europe: "This wave of terror attacks can be expected to continue, including antisemitic and murderous attacks. We say to the Jews, to our brothers and sisters, Israel is your home and that of every Jew. Israel is waiting for you with open arms." Are we to believe that the country is large enough to house every Jew living in Europe, all 1.4 million of them, yet too small to provide accommodation for a few tens of thousands of desperate Syrian men, women, and children?

But I forget, Israel is a 'Jewish state'.

Bibi eventually came clean about the real reason for his anti-refugee stance, saying that he wouldn't allow Israel to be "submerged by a wave of illegal migrants and terrorist activists". Of course, the majority, if not all of the fleeing Syrian families are very far from being 'terrorist activists'. Rather, they are fleeing the brutality of "ISIS" - a terrorist organisation that Israel's national intelligence agency, Mossad, is happy to lend a helping hand to.

Indeed, according to senior aide, Alexander Prokhanov, "Mossad is also likely to have transferred some of its spying experiences to the ISIL leadership, adding that Israel's military advisors could be assisting the Takfiri terrorists." And as reported by Khaled Atallah of Al-Monitor:
According to a UN report covering the period from March to May 2014, the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) detected contact between rebels and the Israeli army across the Golan cease-fire line, particularly during fierce clashes between the Syrian army and the rebels. The report also confirmed that the UN forces spotted rebels transporting 89 wounded across the cease-fire line into the Israeli occupied zone, where they were handed over 19 people who had received medical treatment in addition to two dead. The UN forces also noted that the Israeli army delivered two boxes to rebels on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights.
In addition, Israel has several times conducted air strikes against the Syrian government and its people, thereby helping jihadi monstrosities like "ISIS". So no one can accuse Israel of being indifferent to the plight of the Syrian refugees. On the contrary, Israel is contributing to their suffering.

Meanwhile on the Israeli domestic front; following clashes between Palestinians and Israeli settlers and troops at the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem, Netanyahu has vowed to "fight through all means necessary against rock throwers, firebomb and pipe bomb throwers, and those who shoot fireworks to harm citizens and police officers." Additionally, parents whose children participate in rock-throwing or similar activities will face heavy fines. Netanyahu's harsher approach comes after the death of a 64 year-old Jewish man in a car crash, after the car was allegedly hit by stones. "This stone is one too many. We are declaring war on those who throw stones and bottles, and rioters,"the Israeli PM said.

Like every other Israeli PM since the gerrymandered statelet was founded on Palestinian land, Netanyahu studiously ignores that the 'rock-throwing rioters' - the majority of whom are children and young adults - are simply fed up with the violent, degrading treatment and summary executions meted out to them by Israeli illegal settlers and fascist soldiers. In late July this year, for example, Israeli settlers deliberately set fire to a Palestinian home in the occupied West Bank, burning alive a one-and-a-half year old baby and critically injuring four others in the process.

Strangely, there was no comment from the office of the Israeli PM to the effect that the 'Molotov cocktail' used was one too many. Then again, in Apartheid Israel, crimes against Palestinians aren't really crimes at all.

Since 1948, every Israeli government has pursued a policy of brutal treatment of the Palestinian people in order to provoke a violent response that is then used to justify even more brutal measures (see the recent clashes at the al-Asqa mosque for an example).

Despite how it has been presented to Western populations, the situation in Israel/Palestine is not complicated: on one side there is a people that have been oppressed, imprisoned and periodically slaughtered in their own land for over 80 years. On the other side are the descendants of the 'illegal migrants and terrorist activists' who initiated that oppression, imprisonment and slaughter, and who carry on that sadistic tradition to this day.
