Why should Israel take muslims?
And what's more important - why Gulf countries shouldn't?

why shouldnt they? It's their neighbor. Why should EU? or USA? I find it curious that they take none and they are not mentioned on the map. What has SA UAE Kuwait or Isreal contributed to the whole mess? major contributors to the "rebelion" should be held accountable

This isn't my opinion; Germans are reporting that around half of their registered refugees are European (which shouldn't be surprising; this is an economic migration and not really closely linked to ISIS or whatever).

The "typical" migrant to Germany is NOT a family from Syria escaping the clutches of ISIS; it's a young male from somewhere like Macedonia traveling alone or with other young men, and trying to take advantage of Germany's misguided hospitality.

Because Israel already fights muslims tooth and nail as it is.

Because these are the countries that contributed to the demise of the Middle East.

Money. Funding for the "rebels," that at the end try to establish Islamic regimes throughout the area, once the "disposed dictator" is gone.

Can you please provide us with sources of your information?

Don't they have to make it to the country first, in order to "register as refugee?" Isn't this huge crowd that swarmed Europe and that we are observing for the last couple of weeks is demanding to do just that - to MAKE it to Germany, in order to "register as refugee?"

Israel Building Jordan Border Fence, Won't Accept Refugees: Netanyahu - NBC News

Quote:
"Israel is not indifferent to the human tragedy of the refugees from Syria and Africa," Netanyahu said at the beginning of his Sunday Cabinet meeting, the prime minister's office said.

But "Israel is a small country, a very small country, that lacks demographic and geographic depth," he said. "Therefore, we must control our borders, against both illegal migrants and terrorism."
Makes sense to me.
