Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger has said that nations in Europe were wrong to take in many people who are now supporting Hamas' actions against Israel. Unless the militant group is punished for its hostage-taking, Europeans risk being targeted similarly, he warned.
In an interview published on Wednesday, Mathias Dopfner, the CEO of German media group Axel Springer, asked the veteran statesman about "Arabs celebrating" in the streets of Berlin after Hamas' incursion into southern Israel last week. Kissinger, a Jewish survivor of the Holocaust, said he found such gestures of support for criminal acts "painful."
"It was a grave mistake to let in so many people of totally different cultural and religious concepts because it creates a pressure group inside each country that does that," he noted.
Asked what Germany and the EU should do in the current situation, Kissinger said he expected "unconditional" political support for Israel - as well as military support if needed.
He said of Hamas tactics:
"There has to be some penalty; there has to be some serious limitation on their capability of taking this kind of action. I would say that every European nation has the same interest because the same attitude might erupt in the direction of Europe."Washington's former top diplomat recalled peace talks that resolved the Yom Kippur War five decades ago, saying that Western nations and Israel were lucky to have an Arab leader "with a vision of the future" in Anwar Sadat, the former president of Egypt.
"I don't think it is possible to find leaders among the Hamas group [with a similar vision]. I think Hamas should be excluded from a political role."Pro-Palestinian rallies were held in multiple European cities amid the escalation in the Middle East. In Berlin, police broke down a spontaneous demonstration on Saturday, which was associated with the NGO Samidoun. The German law enforcement said the protesters posed an "immediate threat to public safety" due to "anti-Israel" chants "glorifying violence."
The German government was at the forefront of welcoming asylum-seekers during the 2015 influx, when some 1.3 million people arrived on the continent in just one year. Anti-migrant sentiments surged in many nations during the crisis, with some Eastern European members of the EU adopting policies to curb immigration.

Hahaha you must be joking, I wouldn't give you the steam off my piss on a cold night.
But it's ok for Israelis to jail and torture Palestinian children. Fu**ing POS.
This narrative, immigration was a mistake.
However, the intent was exactly to allow immigration to flood Europe and the USA to create destabilization and violence. Images of immigrants into the USA show they are mostly men in their 20s, military age.
Now you have a former Hamas leader calling for Jihad around the world. We can expect some of these "immigrants" to riot and instigate violence as part of the "Jihad" which will be a false flag psyop. The question is where have they been set up in America and Europe? FEMA camps? Underground facilities? Closed Walmart stores?
It was his underlings that duefully implemented the forceful insertion of Third-World underclass people into Western countries. To "activate" them when the time has come.
And that time is very near.
Probably had some injuries when young so even the hearts of babies don't keep him alive for long....
I mean how many need to die to keep this old wretch alive?
FUCK the zionists - you get what you give and how ironic that is...my vote is their ideology DIES.
That is the chip I put on the table - ALL in.
sometimes choices are demanded...
Hopefully, Henry and his many bedfellows find themselves locked together in very tight, very uncomfortable quarters for eternity...
Or longer, if necessary.
Make no escape.
