| Israel a model for Europe on resettling migrants, says Swedish official | |
| 2015-10-02 | |
To some, the scenes of Syrian refugees breaching the walls of Europe portend monumental difficulties, like how to resettle that many people, how to acculturate people who never lived in a democracy, and how to integrate the conservative mores of Islam with those of liberal Europe. But Olef Zetterberg, Business Region Manager for Stockholm, Sweden -- whose job is to develop partnerships and attract companies to his area -- sees them more as an asset in the making. | |

| #6 Thought this might be about creating Brandenstan from half of Berlin to the North Sea. Get a little two state solution action. |

| #5 Has it occurred to Zetterberg that finding ways to get Swedish women to have more children might be a more sensible approach to demographic problem? Is there nothing that could convince Swedish women that it is either to their advantage to carry another child, or in the interest of the future of Sweden to do so? |

| #3 We have a few million 'immigrants' who already speak a European language (of sorts), who are Christian, and are equally crazy about soccer. Just as easy to load 747s for Europe as buses for Big Blue Cities. That's if you need bodies (who also seem to like free benefits too). Just saying. |

| #2 To me "Jews to Israel, Arabs to Europe" makes perfect sense. |

| #1 The unfortunate fact is that Europe, as is well known, is facing a demographic cliff, and without new blood we are going to wither away into irrelevance. It might be prudent to examine the 'new blood' very closely. If incompatible blood is given in a transfusion, the donor cells are treated as if they were foreign invaders, and the patient's immune system attacks them accordingly. Not only is the blood transfusion rendered useless, but a potentially massive activation of the immune system and clotting system can cause shock, kidney failure, circulatory collapse, and death. Your analogy, not mine. |
