1. Refugee 'invasion'
Anon ,   TA   (09.09.15)
I wonder if the author would have used the same term when his brothers and sisters were running for their lives from Nazi Germany... It just proves to me that history very well can repeat itself, it only needs poisened minds like the author's. Besides, I am wondering if Israel is so much better off, with its increasing homogenous haredi population than Europe is... In 2050 there will be 15+ million citizens in this country which will make it an inhabitible place. So let's hope European editors won't play the same tune when Israelis try to get away from here.
2. Jews said they prefer Assad in power
Qwerty   (09.09.15)
You asked, you received This could have been solved in beginning, at least Romans meant business when they see the line in the sand
3. Finally, someone telling the truth.
Brad ,   USA   (09.09.15)
Noah Klieger is one of the few who are willing to speak the obvious. Klieger's brothers and sisters fleeing from Hitler's ovens, weren't smiling and waving to the cameras while talking on the phone. Their property was already confiscated and they weren't getting special treatment like these present day Muslim invaders are. Anyone who tries to make the two groups the same is a major fool. I don't know what the big attraction is that non-Muslims are having for Muslims, but it's got nothing to do with rational thinking. The same people who hate nazis, can't get enough of Muslims. Guess what? The only problem Muslims have with Hitler is that he didn't go far enough. Wake up!
4. I don't think so
Gene   (09.09.15)
I think Europe will end in civil war. I also suggest Alon from T-A don't wait until 2050: move to Europe right now. You will be right on the spot to emjoy a lot of fun.

6. refugees "invasion"
frank sol ,   san diego, usa   (09.09.15)
This is western contries fault, pushed by some Israeli bombastics.
7. Why Merkel takes emigrants
(09.09.15)
They are emigrants, like Jews that are coming to Israel now from Russia or USA, France. There are basically 2 reasons: 1. the population of Germany is aging; 2. Germany needs young man because the ratio women to man is 5:3 in Germany. This is more or less the official explanation (by University professors). What they will get is another question.
8. The ultimate irony
Sagi   (09.09.15)
Europe, Germany in particular, hounded the Jews out, persecuted them and murdered them. They were hard working contributors to society, not a burden. Now Europe, Germany in particular, is accepting millions of Muslims, not hard working, not known for contributing to society, a burden. For Europe the writing is on the wall.
9. muslim refugees
joseph sahab ,   leesburg fl   (09.09.15)
racist and ignorant about history and demography .wants to live in a cocoon in a changing world .
10. I Disagree In This Case
emanon ,   USA   (09.09.15)
Most of the refugee images that have been shown are depicting women without the restrictive garb of hard-line Muslims. Rather I see people fleeing FROM these groups. I'm sure there are some "plants" in the refugees, simply based on numbers, but most seem to be people looking for a better life with no hidden agendas. I don't mean to single out women, but hard line men do not wear burqas or face veils, only their women are forced to wear this type of garb.
11. Scaremongering
Guy Eyre ,   London   (09.09.15)
Appalling scaremongering premised on ungrounded generalisations. Irresponsible journalism.
12. Immigrants in Europe
Zvi ,   Bat Yam   (09.09.15)
The Author have no idea about todays Europe. When it come to the Turks and Kurds in Germany he his absolutely WRONG. Like most of the Israelis of his age he still leave in late 1930's. The question is the root of the problem and the reason why rich Arab countries like Dubai and Kuwait would not accept them. Where are the childrens the womens the old and the sicks. They are all young males and well dressed. Are they really refugges.
13. a true cultural & demographic catastrophe
Cameron ,   USA   (09.09.15)
Western Europe, you embrace your absolute ruin. Already beginning to run into Europeans over here who've just written off their original homelands.
14. #1 belongs to the clueless class the author describes
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (09.09.15)
15. With due respect:I'd like a plausible explanation for
(09.09.15)
the European conduct. Surely their leaders know & understand just as much as Noah/myself/any 12-year old does!?. WHAT could be the real reason(s) behind this seemingly suicidal policy???!! Please, be creative...
16. question...
JG   (09.09.15)
"Civil war in Syria enabled in part by George Bush Invasion of Iraq & Obama’s support of Syrian rebels has created approximately three million Iraquis and Syrians now living in refugee camps in surrounding countries. The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees asked from the U.S. government to accept refugees but of 700,000 displaced who applied for a United States visa, according to official sources only 28 succeeded in getting one." question: how the subject of refugees in europe will impact the US immigration politics & the next presidential elections?
17. Zal Lackow fbook You are correct!
Joya   (09.09.15)
The idiotic article was written by Klieger
18. Commenting the article...
Joya   (09.09.15)
Well, it is estimated that over three million Syrian refugees were being hosted by Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan. Not to mention that Jordan hosted also Iraqui and Palestinian refugees in past decades. Following the Invasion of Iraq by President Bush of the United States of America, Syria offered assylum to those refugees...According to Human Rights reports refugees in Jordan are considered guests, so they cant apply for jobs or citizenship. Nothing wrong is going to happen to Europe for adopting muslim refugees from Arab countries, specially the most populated countries like Italy, Spain, Ukingdom, Poland, France and Germany. Europe population is over the 800,000 millions. We can understand why Israel cant host refugees from Sudan & Eritrea, neither from arabizated nations as Syria...Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, Lybia, Turkey, Iran, or Saudi Arabia... Like our friend from the NYtimes said before: "Culture is how we pass the time between hypocresies"...
19. reply to #1
Joya   (09.09.15)
whether out of innocence or out of foolishness, i have the impression that if Israel were in Europe, and if Israel were rich & with a lot of territorial space as Ukingdom, Germany or France have, probably the israeli government would have offered assylum to muslims refugees too...
20. beginning of the end of Europe
jon ,   uk   (09.09.15)
to the people that don't agree with this article there are already no goes areas in Europe for non Muslims also Muslims carry on fighting and killing between themselves there are about 50 millions Europe now and rising fast and they don't integrate they convert people can you picture it in your minds 20 years from now they push their culture where they live where are you lot in cuckoo land also why don't Arab countries take and help their Muslims brothers in they got plenty of land and money could it be that they know that they be let in to Europe and that's how they will change Europe Germany wants to take in hundreds of thousands the reason could be that they will need workers in future food for thought ?
21. Refugees must be made to understand
A ,   Belgium   (09.09.15)
that they are being absorbed temporarily in their "foster" countries until the conflicts in their home countries are ended. But because not enough is being done to destroy Assad and ISIS, the refugees will continue pouring into Europe, especially economically stronger Western Europe and will remain until returning to their home countries will become unattractive and undesirable.
22. the threat
iselin ,   oslo   (09.09.15)
The refugees are mostly normal, hard working people who want jobs, homes, food and education for their families and peace. That's why they left their countries. When all the normal people leave, only the terrorists and their like remain in the ruins of the countries they destroyed. When there is no industry left and no one is willing to work, only to wage war, these places will be completely marginalized. Israel could also be threatened by marginalization after the haredi get their majority and take over the country completely. By then, the secular and smart will have left the religious to fend for themselves.
23. Anton, TA
tiki ,   belgium   (09.09.15)
"Let's hope European editors won't play the same tune when Israeli's try to get away from here". No Anton, their response will be: "None is to many". Don't delude yourself for Noah Klieger knows what he's talking about...........he knows history & Europeans.
24. Not so in Canada...
Thessalonian ,   Canada   (09.09.15)
"Muslim refugees will lead to the complete disappearance of their countries' tradition, culture and progress and to the establishment of an Islamic rule across the entire continent." So why has it not happened in Canada Mr. Klieger?
25. SHAME
luc ,   amsterdam, NL   (09.10.15)
What an absolute disgrace by an journalist whose own family were once upon a time refugees. SHAME, SHAME, SHAME.
26. respond to israel opinion
Tom Rademaker ,   luzern suisse   (09.10.15)
Well you think the israelli solution is better, build a wall and take their pride.?
27. Muslim invasion of Europe
Sue radzinski ,   Israel   (09.10.15)
Interested to read what occured to me a while ago. My thought process took me a step further: Isis are fully aware of what is happening and are actually using the refugee plight to further their cause. How much more stupid will Europe get?
28. #25, shame on you. Muslims destroy NL, Germany, France, UK.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (09.10.15)
Jews have never done anything like that.
29. (25) luc from amsterdam
tiki ,   belgium   (09.10.15)
SHAME, SHAME, SHAME. Don't judge or give stupid comments about things you don't know! Most of Klieger's family never got the chance to become "fugitives' . They were send linea recta to Auschwitz!
30. Think of all the Nobel Prize winners hidden amongst refugees
