Why must Yemeni Jews seek sanctuary in Britain instead of Israel?

The Independent says that several Jews from Yemen who've been persecuted by the Religion of Peace there will be given asylum (via The Jawa Report):
Britain is on the verge of signing a secret deal to allow a small number of Yemeni Jews facing severe persecution in their home country to move to the UK, The Independent has learnt.

[...]Assaults against the country's small Jewish community intensified to such a level last year that the US State Department organised a series of airlifts to evacuate more than 100 Jews with connections to the Yemeni community already living in America.

[...]Once out of the country, the Raida Jews will be able to claim refugee status, although each application will still be considered on an individual basis, unlike in the US where all Yemeni Jews are guaranteed asylum.
Yes, it's amazing the UK would allow this, but even so, I'm still puzzled why they would seek refuge there instead of here. Seriously, what's the use of going to a country that could one day become as bad as it is back in Yemen?

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
