Jag är inte direkt högpresterande just nu, men Bradley Burston skrev en grej om det här som jag tycker är läsvärd. Kolla http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/992389.html. och speciellt slutet:

All the more obscene, then, that the new bill reserves special punishment (seven-year terms versus five for other refugee “infiltrators”) for those fleeing countries the bill defines as “enemy states” – Sudan among them. The Darfur catastrophe, and the issues of Africans fleeing drought, starvation, pestilence, organized sexual assault, vicious despotism, rampant banditry and sudden war, are certainly not Israel’s to solve. Nor can a small country with a heart-stopping range of problems of its own be expected to open its gates wide to uncounted thousands of refugees. Israel can, however, begin to serve as a model and a facilitator – yes, as a conscience – for the humanitarian effort the entire developed world should be shouldering. The author and journalist Gershom Gorenberg has proposed that Israel should publicly declare its commitment to take in a number of refugees that it can reasonably support, and convene an international conference at Yad Vashem, where nations’ representatives will be “pushed, prodded and guilt-tripped to stand to make commitments on how many refugees they will accept.”

In the interim – and certainly before the bill comes up for final Knesset approval in a few weeks – legislators would do well to re-read Deuteronomy 10:19: “Love the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.”

Eller så har egypternas dåliga behandling av flyktingarna fått motsatt effekt. Speciellt efter tortyr och brandtal om hur ondsinta Israelerna är, kanske en tanke där väcks att egypternas fiender inte kan vara värre än egypterna själva.

Troligtvis är det mest sannolikt dock att rykten om Israel spridits, från mun till mun, med hjälp av smugglares PR, som du kallar det.
