Rare video shows a group of Syria|n asylum-seekers on their way from #Turkey to #Greece in a rubber boat via Sakir Kahder, hollandske Volksrant. Hvis nogen forstår arabisk, må de gerne  oversætte.

Australierne markerede i går en årsdag, europæerne skulle lægge mærke til: AUSTRALIA MIGRANT POLICY SUCCESS: ONE YEAR WITHOUT A ‘SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE SMUGGLING VENTURE’. Europæerne synes indtil videre at have gjort et valg: Det er bedre at fortsætte med at stå op for et asylsystem og nogle konventioner, der vil berøve dem deres lande og gøre deres børn hjemløse i verden, end at ændre dem og overleve. Den såkaldt borgerlige, norske blogger Bjørn Stærk, udtrykte det samme ædle livssyn på denne måde for nogle år siden:

Brave is sitting down calmly on a plane behind a row of suspicious-looking Arabs, ignoring your own fears, because you know those fears are irrational, and because even if there’s a chance that they are terrorists, it is more important to you to preserve an open and tolerant society than to survive this trip. Brave is insisting that Arabs not be searched more carefully in airport security than anyone else, because you believe that it is more important not to discriminate against people based on their race than to keep the occasional terrorist from getting on a plane.
