Agreed, as I'm sure you would extend to the European countries?
I agree that Obama didn't help the situation with Europe, especially France. Nevertheless, the Trump presidency throws things in to greater focus - Europe protection and influence will be more reliant on Europe. To that end, why wouldn't the EU, as a political union, develop its own armed forces and begin to exert influence beyond its relationships with other powers (such as Russia, the UK, and the USA)?

@antipodean I'd be interested in whether any of those folks would take any person in need into their house - outside of their family and wider social circles I mean. And not including people who foster kids either. I suspect there would be a similar pattern of responses - essentially it's about strangers, but refugees are stranger strangers.. if that makes any sense.

Yeah, not to defend the virtue signallers but if it was a female immigrant than there's more chance they'd say yes as well. Less chance of physical danger etc. Funny watching them squirm though.

@No-Quarter big difference too in how your living arrangements are set up. If you had a separate flat on your property you might be sweet as, rather than having someone in the house with you and your family. Shit, heaps of people dont want their own family living with them for all sorts of reasons. Not hard to see the bar for refugees being waaay higher.

@Paekakboyz Weirdly enough I'm still yet to see any big time virtue signalling celebs offer their many roomed spare luxory homes either. I guess advocating open borders, tolerance, inclusion and diversity only applies when it affects other peoples lives.

@Rembrandt I think the distinction is in supporting those folks to integrate into society via govt and community support networks etc. I've never seen people saying come and stay in my house, but people being open to refugees becoming part of their nation and community.
But I totally get the hipocracy of someone living in a gated community in a multimillion dollar home welcoming refugees, when never the Twain shall meet.

@MajorRage No doubt the latter at least while traditional media has it's final death throes.
Just finished watching it, actually surprisingly nuanced. I think she went in trying to push a narrative and got a bit of a shock. It's an extremely complex situation. -

@jegga Utterly ridiculous call by YouTube when you actually watch it. Oh well, helps my Mrs get red pilled, she isn't political,thought it was an interesting doco and now seeing it being censored thinks something is very screwy with social media.

Stellar reporting. Anti-jewish attacks on the rise in Germany to the point where Jews are being advised not to wear their kippahs. And the reason for this recent increase in crime...growing AfD support.
Maybe the writer should click BBC's own related stories to check for another potential theory.
The bias is incredible. Is anyone still falling for it?

Yes, that must be it. Can't think of anything else that has happened in Germany recently that might cause a spike in antisemitism. I'm sure it's the ethnic Germans that Jews have to look out for.
