And your point is?

[anotheoldgit]

The subject is up for debate, it is up to you to make your own point.

[Peter Pedant]

and the point is...
we dont often hear this sortta thing

( see title )

[Mamyalynne]

I hadn't seen it until now.

[Jackdaw33]

I think the point is: should the UK adopt a policy similar to that of Israel?

[anotheoldgit]

Jackdaw33

That is a point, but I don't know about providing them with US$3,500 dollars (£2,671)

[Jackdaw33]

That would be a lot cheaper than if they stayed here on benefits.

[anotheoldgit]

True Jackdaw33, but if we followed Israel they wouldn't be staying here.

[Gromit]

Most of Israel’s population are immigrants or refugees, mainly from Europe.
In 1948 the populaion was 800,000. Today it is 8 million higher.
Clearly if they are still accepting migrants from one country, but not from another, then some form of discrimination is occurring.
The majority of Eritreans are Christian, so that is one possible reason for barring them, but there might be otherreasons.

[Samuraisan]

The refugees who originally went to Israel helped make into the country it is today. I can't really see Eritreans and Sudanese doing backbreaking work in a Kibbutz, and doubt they are doctors, lawyers etc. I doubt they would learn Hebrew and no doubt are just after an easy life with benefits.

//The majority of Eritreans are Christian//

Not so. The country is split about 50/50 between Christianity and Islam.
