Six years on, lessons of Gaza withdrawal resonate for West Bank

jtaInterviewed by JTA, MK Danny Danon says the the hardships suffered by those families removed from Gaza nearly six years ago serve as a clear example of what a West Bank pullback would be - an even bigger mistake. Citing the rocket threat, Danon noted that an Israeli withdrawal even from part of the West Bank would leave central Israel -- including Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Ben Gurion Airport -- well within Palestinian rocket range.

Danny Danon: Send African migrants to Australia

Likud MK and Australian MP discuss "humane solution" for thousands of 'Muslim infiltrators' in Israel: Send them to live down under.

MK Danny Danon (Likud) asked Australian MP Michael Danby on Wednesday to propose, in parliament in Canberra, sending African migrants from Israel to Australia.

Danon and Danby discussed the issue during the Australian politician’s visit to Israel for the World Jewish Congress’s International Conference of Jewish Parliamentarians.

“The arrival of thousands of Muslim infiltrators to Israeli territory is a clear threat to the state’s Jewish identity,” Danon told The Jerusalem Post.

“The refugees’ place is not among us, and the initiative to transfer them to Australia is the right and just solution.
“On the one hand, it treats the refugees and migrants in a humane way. On the other hand, it does not threaten Israel’s future and our goal to maintain a clear and solid Jewish majority,” he explained.

Danon said Danby enthusiastically agreed to present the idea to the Australian Parliament. Danby was not available for comment, however, as he was in-flight on his way back to Australia.

According to the Knesset’s Research and Information Center, there were 35,638 migrants in Israel as of May.
Fewer than 1 percent are recognized by the UN as refugees.

Some 61% of the migrants – 21,748 people – are Eritrean, however, and categorized as members of a “temporary humanitarian protection group” by the UN, because they cannot be returned safely to their home country due to internal strife.

“Since Australia has a policy of accepting refugees and groups under protection, I would appreciate it if you could promote a solution in which Australia would accept those who seeking refuge,” Danon wrote in a letter to the MP from Melbourne following their meeting.

 

"Celebrate Israel" Concert in NYC

The 18th annual Dr. Manfred R. Lehmann Memorial Israel Day Concert in Central Park set the tone for an ebullient celebration of Israel's 63rd birthday, as premiere entertainers and prominent speakers appeared before thousands at the Summer Stage in the park. Thousands of "Celebrate Israel" parade participants and spectators filed into Central Park after the conclusion of the 47th annual parade for some traditional Jewish entertainment and enlightenment.

The special guest speaker at the concert was Likud MK Danny Danon, chairman of World Likud and Deputy Speaker of the Knesset. He was introduced by Dr. Brody, who quipped, "Mr. Danon signals right and he turns right." Reiterating his support for a united Jerusalem, MK Danon declared his staunch opposition to US pressure on Israel to retreat to the 1967 borders, termed the Auschwitz lines" by Abba Eban.

"80% of Israelis polled are against compromise of any form on the status of Jerusalem as Israel's capital," said Mr. Danon, adding, "David Ben Gurion moved the Knesset from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Levi Eshkol did not differentiate between eastern and West Jerusalem or who lived there before 1967 and who lived there after that."
