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.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?
[...]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.
