Umm, we do tend to be involved in many of these wars, you know?

 

 

I'm sure that the Jewish population is relieved that they were not turned away when they needed refuge, as well as the Lutherans, the Italians, Poles,Russian, Greeks, Bulgarian, Armenian, Assyrian, Yugoslavian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Estonian, Ukrainian, Czechoslovakian, Hungarian, Chilean, Lebanese, Cypriot, Timorese and those who have recently been granted refugee status from countries such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Somali and the DRC.

the 2nd and third sentences really go against the way I was brought up but I can see that some in society live by that code.

Jews were murdered in their millions, pogroms in Russia and the Nazi death camps in Germany, turned away from many countries while the world went mad in WW2. 

 

They were not econimic refugees but people who were persecuted in many countries and one of the main reasons the UN convention on refugees was born.

 

Equating anything even near to what happend to the Jews to bolster an empty argument is beyond the pale

That's true, Kilroy, but I wasn't aware that Australia did so. Pretty shameful, for any country to treat asylum seekers that way.

Isn't this thread about refugees fleeing specifically TO Germany? Not FROM Germany?
