Writing for the Gatestone Institute’s website, Drieu Godefridi picks up on recent comments by Henry Kissinger that relate to the Oct. 7 violence directed at Israel by Hamas based in Gaza. He notes:
Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger explained in an interview recently that Europe had made a serious mistake by creating within itself, through mass immigration, populations that reject all its norms, values and a "constitutional basis". He deplored the fact that in 2023 in Berlin, almost 80 years after the Holocaust, people, with complete impunity, are shouting "Death to the Jews" in the streets.
To avoid making the situation worse, emigration will have to be severely curtailed.
This would mean leaving the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). The extremist "open borders" jurisprudence of the Strasbourg Court prevents any development of a rational asylum policy.
Europeans will have to do the unthinkable: actually apply their laws. If anyone -- Muslim or non-Muslim -- wants to celebrate the jihadist pogroms against Jews, well, they can go and rejoice in Iran or Qatar. Not in Europe.
Actually applying existing laws? What an excellent idea! Could we convince President Biden to attempt it? Not much chance of that.
Instead of bringing their problems here, would-be migrants need to stay home and fix what’s wrong with where they live now.
