    so the Israeli immigration policy works well?
    By the government's own admission, Israel's immigration policy is unsatisfactory and is in need of reform.

    The Israelis seems to think the Hebrew Bible is some kind of real estate document – I don't think many people would stand for what has happened to the Palestinians if they were excluded from their land.

    There are many Non-Zionist Jews that would agree with you.

    For example.

    As a philisophical statement? Pass. Depends.

    In relation to immigration? All countries remove some illegals. every single one.

    Nope. It seems to me that most country's immigration policies are self-contradictory and inefficient.

    marklv. I don't have much time for your posts at the best of times, but I have genuinely cringed at your contributions and how they have exposed you for what you are in this thread.

    Shameful. Truly shameful.

    It's nothing to do with being sanctimonious. When you freely and voluntarily express views on immigration which say you have no problem with EU immigration, but it's those outside (read, blacks and asians) that you object to, you're exposing yourself for what you really are.

    And when you back it up by referencing bogus studies on IQ and race (a study which has been widely repudiated for being so scientifically flawed that it's not funny), you compound the feeling. Let's put aside for one moment the embarassing fact that your own referenced study shows non-aryans at the top of the IQ charts.

    And then, when people disagree with you, you threaten violence and get abusive.

    I had originally marked you down as a self-intersted little public sector mid-manager. The kind of person who failed in the real world so heads to the crappy mediocrity of the public service for its safe little life and safe little pension. I liked that image of you, and I used to chuckle at how you dared to attack those who dared to question public sector pensions.

    But you're really quite a bitter and tragic figure aren't you. I can see why. You really are genuinely scared of losing your pathetic excuse of a mid-manager IT job to more talented people with different colour skin than you, and the thought terrifies you.
