Jihad Watch ran a story a few days ago reporting that Italy’s migrant welcome centers were in a state of “collapse” as huge waves of African migrants flooded in from Libya. The crisis of this invasion has steadily worsened, and now Italy is crumbling under the hijrah and openly declaring that it has lost control:
Italy says that it is unable to cope with this year’s expected flood of refugees, and is demanding help from the European Union, or else it will close all its ports to ships carrying migrants
That country should indeed close all its ports and take lessons from Hungary’s leader Victor Orban and Poland’s Prime Minister Beata Szydlo, who have rejected EU migrant quotas in order to protect their citizens from Muslim migrant crime and jihad attacks, and the attendant economic suicide.
Regrettably, however, a member of the European Council on Foreign Relations, Mattia Toaldo, called preventing boats from docking “a panic measure” and said it was possibly illegal. Yet in the midst of the Italian emergency migrant crisis, perhaps the EU is just beginning to wake up from its slumber. The president of the European Parliament, Antonio Tajani, said:
A cry of alarm has come from Italy, an SOS…we can’t leave it on its own. After the closure of the Balkan route, it is indispensable to also close the central Mediterranean one. We can’t have any more delays in solving the problem.
“Italy Begs for Help After 12,000 Migrants Arrive in Four Days”, by John Xenakis, Breitbart, June 30, 2017:
….Italy has threatened to close all of its ports to ships of foreign NGOs carrying migrants and refugees, after being overwhelmed by the arrival of 12,000 migrants in four days on 22 ships. The UN Migration Agency said 8,863 migrants were rescued trying to reach Italy from Libya, and the EU’s border agency Frontex said its boats had recovered an additional 2,700 people.
About 76,000 migrants have arrived since January, and some estimates say that 220,000 people could land in Italy by the end of 2017.
The ships cross the Mediterranean Sea from Libya and mostly contain African refugees. In one Italian port in Reggio Calabria alone, 1,066 people disembarked from the Save the Children rescue ship Vos Hestia on Thursday. Among them were 241 unaccompanied minors.
According to a European Council official:
In recent years people smugglers have launched massive numbers at the same time. But this year we are witnessing levels never registered before in such short periods of time.
Loss of life and continuing migratory flows of primarily economic migrants on the central Mediterranean route is a structural challenge and remains an issue of urgent and serious concern.
The EU and its member states must restore control to avoid a worsening humanitarian crisis.
Italy agrees that the EU must restore control. Italy says that it is unable to cope with this year’s expected flood of refugees, and is demanding help from the European Union, or else it will close all its ports to ships carrying migrants. Since the rescue operations do not take place in Italian waters, Italy is under no obligation under international law to take the refugees in, according to some experts. Analysts say that this would be a humanitarian catastrophe because the ships would have to be diverted to other countries, for which they have inadequate provisions.
One of the NGOs operating rescue boats said that it understood the pressure that Italy was under, but:
However, we also believe that closing the ports of safety to people seeking refuge from war, violence and poverty cannot be the solution. We would like to stress again that NGOs are not the cause, nor the solution to this humanitarian crisis. Without our presence at sea, even more people would die….
john spielman says
well CLOSE your ports and DEPORT ALL THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS!
Godwin says
Just use the navy to stop all migrant boats from leaving the Libyan n Egyptian ports. This will stop the people smugglers in their tracks. Deport all those that have landed back to Libya. Simple solution but the stupid Italian Government does not know’
Anne Smith says
I think it does but the rules of the EU preclude such action.
Creole Gumbo says
Sounds like time to break the rules.
Andy says
If western society doesn’t get back to its Judeo-Christian roots. Then we are doomed like the ancient Roman Empire. Our societies will fall into complete and utter chaos!
p says
Get them to Germany!
trish says
Agree, close all European ports.
Second, invoke the international maritime law which decrees those rescued at sea must be taken to the nearest port. For those ‘rescued’ just off Libyan waters, this port would be in Tunisia.
The reality is that bleeding heart charities eg Medecins sans Frontieres, Save the Children et al are chartering boats to sit just outside territorial waters, then sailing the ‘rescued’ to European ports.
Stop donating to these charities and tell them why. These charities are actively abetting in people smuggling. Virtually all those coming from Africa are young, able-bodied males, economic migrants rather than refugees fleeing persecution.
As long as misguided do-gooders keep circumventing both the law and common sense, millions will keep flooding into Europe, breaking down any existing infrastructure or capacity to maintain societal existence.
Remember the Titanic. Only so many lifeboats. Once loaded to capacity, plus a few more, each boat had to decide if those still swimming toward it would be accepted or not. Should some survive, or should all perish in the name of charity?
Especially in the present case when other ships standing by (the wealthy Muslim Arab states) do nothing to assist ,even for their fellow religionists.
Anne Smith says
Absolutely right Trish. It is the wretched charities and their grip on the well meaning but uninformed people, who donate liberally, who are actually causing the most damage.
Carolyne says
No boats from North Africa should be allowed to arrive in Italy and “Rescue” boats should be stopped at once and redirected back to Libya. . If the UN wants to “Save the Children” they should take them to Saudi Arabia or another Islamic hellhole. Maybe the Pope would like to accompany them. The African “Refugees” especially the Somalis are the “Worst of people.”
Carpediadem says
No no,send them to Brussels, to the European Commission! Load them on buses and deliver them to those who say Europe should take them all!
John A. Marre says
Chiudete quelle cazzo di porte! Close the fucking ports!
Santa Voorhees says
John, “porte” means doors, not ports.
Anonymous says
Hey, John,
Be considerate and do not use foul language.
Carolyne says
Sometimes, John, that is the only word which fits. A good old Anglo-Saxon word with which we are all familiar. Perhaps it would offend a snowflake.
Donald R Laster Jr says
The word means “Fornication and Unlawful Carnal Knowledge” from what I have read. It is an old legal term from England in the 1400 to 1600 if I remember what I read correctly. So it would not apply. 🙂
Almost there. says
The president of the European Parliament, Antonio Tajani, said:
“A cry of alarm has come from Italy, an SOS…we can’t leave it on its own. After the closure of the Balkan route, it is indispensable to also close the central Mediterranean one. We can’t have any more delays in solving the problem”
Too late for this class of person to backpedal now and subsequently say “I thought I was doing things for the good of all”.
Just wait, they will all try to save their own necks from the righteous mob when things finally crack.
Robert Brooks says
Occasionally bad results make clear examples of the results form certain actions. If you don’t like the results, don’t do what they did!
Sorry italy you been had! The eu don’t care about you. Only it’s policies.
Dan says
They allow the NGO taxi service and cry for help? suck it up fools!
John Fofrbes says
EXACTLY – This nonsense lies at MERKEL;S & SOROS door !
concerned canadian says
All I see is thousands of free loaders ready to wreck another fine country.
Another one bites the dust.
At least You guys have Trump to try stop it.
Maybe I can cross the border and say Im afraid for my life
from all of Trudeaus muslim buddies…
lisa says
You my friend are so right.
This all would be difficult if it were just the economic hardship
But there is the FACT that they are Islamic and I need not elaborate on that problem
balam says
WHY DOES TRUDEAU NOT ALLOW THE PERSECUTED CHRISTIAN FROM THE MUSLIM COUNTRIES LIKE PAKISTAN IN? HE LACKS POILITICAL FORESIGHT.
Donald R Laster Jr says
Because Christians from places like Pakistan know what Islam is really about and the “Left” does not like Christians, real ones, due to their believing in real morals.
David Cameron says
A friend and neighbour knows a guy in the Russian mafia who got into Canada as a refugee by simply stating that he was gay and would be persecuted if he was sent home. And that was before Turdeau.
Carolyne says
The US has always welcomed CIVILIZED immigrants who can contribute to the country. I can think of nothing an immigrant from an Islamic country can contribute or even act in a civilized manner. I voted for Mr. Trump and I am proud he is my President.
Renee says
I am also a DEPLORABLE and proud of it!!!! Thank God in heaven for President Trump!!!!????????
balam says
May God bless you for supporting Mr .TRUMP . Basically ,he is a good person.
andra says
Italy does not want to stop the Invasion. They only want to get more money. Noone in the EU truely wants to close the Mediteranian route – as the Balkan route is still open as well — they only pretend to struggle for a solution.
All this fuzz is only aiming in bringing these invadors even faster to middle and North Europe. The European governments realize that more and more Europeans wake up and realize that they are supposed to vanish from earth. Therefore the Invasion must be sped up.
So, don´t believe that the Italian government develops some sense of self-defence.
Peter says
On Dutch TV we only see happy Italians who are really greatfull to help these poor bastards. They are so glad that they can take up these migrants into their society to make te world a better place………..and now they are complaining???……………………….who is the liar???? (I guess Dutch TV)
Robyt says
Of course italian dont want migrant boats and they never really wanted them, this is a 10 year problem now. In italy there were polls last week and the government party lost most of them, because of the situation and his direct sponsoring of “welcoming”. The government party organized in milan last month a big march pro “welcoming” and actually we saw also on our tv some “italians” happy of welcoming, of course all staged. Same happened also in barcelona months ago.

marina says
It is not Italy’s responsibility to save people from poverty. Why is Italy hesitating to close the ports.
Guest says
Exactly, the NGO states “people seeking refuge from war, violence and poverty” as if they all had the same value in EU decisions for refuge. Crazy: does Europe want to take in three billion or so living in poverty?
p says
At least send them to Sweden
Santa Voorhees says
This is just the first step towards survival. Close the ports ASAP!
brane pilot says
The real humanitarian crisis is about a decade away when Europe collapses into civil war.
Zub says
Decade? Probably sooner than that. Just look how far it has progressed in 2 years. When a singular event happens i.e. mass casualty attack, things will devolve to civil war frighteningly fast. The economic ripples will be felt all over the globe which will also destabilize teetering countries with similar problems as Europe.
The global pressure cooker is reaching critical levels and about ready to blow, a stark reality no one wants to acknowledge. Scary times ahead.
Kilfincelt says
Agree! I’m of the opinion that civil war isn’t that far off either. I told a friend of my who lives in Sweden–she’s an American–just that.
Western European governments are trying to minimize that problem by not admitting to the truth about the harm being done to their countries and their citizens by these Muslim migrants. They learned the wrong lessons from WWII and are protecting a group of people whose leaders sided with the Nazis. In fact, Western European leaders are acting like Nazis to protect the Muslim invaders rather than their own people. What a really bad state of affairs!
Carolyne says
I have seen no indication that the European people generally will fight for their own countries in this crisis. Even in the US the standard response I get is “I guess we’ll have to get used to it.”
vcragain says
“people seeking refuge from war, violence and poverty” – unfortunately these are human beings with all that implies – yes some of them will be actual refugees ‘fleeing’ from something, but in their countries they are impoverished & European countries are where they can find decent jobs, and where there is help if you are starving or unemployed.So why would they not try to get to those havens. I think there is only one solution – they have to be stopped – for every single one of those people who get into Europe via this illegitimate route, there are more back in their home towns who will try because of their success. There are millions of semi-starving humans in Africa alone – now we are seeing what happens when they see an opportunity to help their own lives. This is not unexpected, and is only encouraged by allowing anybody to stay illegally. If the passport to Europe is to say you are at risk in your homeland – THEN THAT IS WHAT THEY WILL SAY ! All humans are predictable & very much the same. It is time for Western Corporations to stop pillaging the resources of these countries & start helping them get on their own feet instead. Then the world’s population will stabilize too, because it is the poor who have the most children – they often have no access to birth control, and often their children ARE their wealth. There is no other resolution but to take them straight back to their starting point. That is the only way the message gets back to others that they will not succeed. I am concerned for them, but concerned too for what happens if many more are just allowed entry.
vyx says
Many of these men (since it’s usually men who could be serving in the army) go back home on “vacation” during the year.
If you’re in a war-ravaged nation, why would you go back home for “vacation? ”
RE: “poverty,” watch the video “immigration, world poverty and gumballs” for an explanation.
gravenimage says
vcragain, your implication that ravening Muslim men are invading Europe because Europeans are “pillaging” them is absurd. They are invading Europe because their foul creed demands it.
Anne Smith says
And because they are looking forward to getting free house, free money, life without any work, masses of funtime raping etc. etc. What’s not to like about being a male Muslim immigrant?
Carolyne says
They do not find “Decent work” in Europe. They come to Western Europe specifically because they will not have to work, the state will support them and they are allowed to run amuck and behave as if they never left their own hellhole.
Snowflakes melt easily.
Robyt says
All fake propaganda from it government who has lost electoral polls in many important cities last week. They know EU is just a bank union with no militar power, and they already made this kind of requests many times in the past. The most important outcome of these kind of requests was in 2014 when cathrine ashton, the high representative for foreign policies of eu, was removed and the chair given to an italian, mogherini. But nothing changed. The eu did not solved any single issue related to the migrant boats which is a ten years problem now. But some of its member states helped very much in makeing the problem even more unresolvable just bombing libia.
Irene Brekelmans says
Aren’t those sleeping European countries still not convinced that they have to stop all entries. It has to stop now and they have to be sent back. I agree fully with vcagain. Eu does nothing, the UN wants to get more people in. In the end we will not survive and vc is right, what we said all along. Humans and Muslims are predictable. You have to close all ports and flights to here, YOU HAVE GOT TO DO IT” NOW !!!, it is already very, very late,if not too late, if you don’t, we all know what will happen ………
The governments do nothing for us. The Dutch have the lousy excuse that they can not convict most Muslims, otherwise they can not send them back to their countries. The lamest excuse if I ever heard one. So crimes go on without convictions.
I agree with VC completely ,but this doing or saying nothing will kill us + the Sharia on top f it. You should not have let it go so for long, and I can only pray , that it is not to late.
But put more muslims into your governments, police and military, then you know for sure you are losing the battle.. If countries are destroyed and horrible crimes are committed on and on and on, and every day more, YOU NEED TO DO SOMETHING and take drastic decisions, and you should have done that years ago and don’t hide behind laws of the EU or UN. If drastic measurements protect you countries, you have to do that, and protect your people. That is the first thing governments have to do.
Or didn’t you know that ,and preferred sticking your heads in the sand
DO IT NOW !!!!Close the borders and ports and let it be known that no more “refugees” will be accepted.
And Americans, Australians, you have all comments about the Europeans, but are you doing any better then them, I see the American kids on their praying maths in public schools and I see a lot more. You give a navy muslim guy his own private prayer place, not that I have something against the guy, but what you accept in the US is amazing too. You are not doing any better than the Europeans, the Australians and the Canadians. At some point you all have to unite, and not to start wars, but every law is for everybody the same in your country, and if you want to block your roads with praying people, and those who want to pray 5 times a day in business, a pity, but then you have to go back to your own country, and you don’t need to have thousands of Mosques to pray 5 times a day in. Praying, you can do at home too. Imagine, if I invent a new religion which asks for praying 20 times a day, what would you do? Freedom of religion and especially the “peaceful one” You all are getting totally unlogical and that creates an enormous chaos. It is the world upside down, so pls think about that.
Stan Lee says
Damned right! I agree with your comment. Eight years of Obama and at least two years of G.W.Bush before him have brought calamity upon the U.S. The U.S. government is infected with closet Leftists, believers in “One World Government” and Socialism. Consider the hard time President Trump is getting in Washington, DC!
The remedy cannot be “painless,” the Leftists are securely in position, they can be dismissed, it is an imperative that they are dismissed..
gravenimage says
Irene, do you agree with him that this is all the fault of the evil Europeans for supposedly “pillaging” Muslims lands?
Stan Lee says
Why in hell threaten to close ports, Italy? The EU doesn’t mind at all that you take the brunt of Muslim migrants! The more you threaten, but do nothing but threaten, Italy still maintains the negative results of Muslims running wild in Italy.
Close the damned ports! Navy and Coast Guard must set ships from No. Africa onto a 180 degree course, right back to Africa.
Zub says
I believe Italy should ship them directly to Germany as soon as they step off the “water taxis”. Load them on express trains to the “Vaterland” post haste. Merkel wanted this nightmare horde en masse, she can have them en masse. Flood Germany and Brussels with them until they are overwhelmed and are forced to close their own borders. This will be the cue for all EU member countries to do the same and perhaps put a halt to this insanity.
Carolyne says
I think they should be sent to Muslim countries so that they can rape and pillage where it is the custom to do so. But Germany is an acceptable alternative.
Donald R Laster Jr says
Italy is the current front lines of the Islamic invasion. They need to start treating these invaders as invaders. These people are not immigrants or migrants. They are an invading army.
Mark T says
Exactly. How many “widows and orphans” who Obama said republicans are afraid of do you see in that photo?
Veka Fitzfrancis says
Only one fifth of the rescued where unaccompanied minors? Seems to me that means four fifths are likely to be military aged men – what we would call an invasion force in my military family..
gravenimage says
Most of these “unaccompanied minors” have proven to be full adults, as well.
Mark Swan says
Yes and if minors, they will grow-up.
billybob says
If the Eu took all the billions they have spent to date on refugee accommodation and instead spent that intelligently on improving the quality of life in Africa it would have made far more sense. Every Euro spent in Africa would buy ten times what it buys in the EU. They could literally transform the continent.
Instead, the future of Africa is lost as all that money flows towards the people smugglers and the most able to make the price and the journey head for Europe, leaving behind the women and children, the elderly and the feeble. Some research should be done on this and the EU tried in the court of public opinion for destroying the future of Africa.
gravenimage says
Africa has had plenty of opportunities. Islam, Communism, and mass corruption have warped things there.
Robert Brooks says
What’s that about insanity? making the same mistakes and expecting different results over and over and over again. This bleeds into fanatical……
Maybe it’s time to leave them alone…….
gravenimage says
Italy “begs for help,” threatens to close ports over African migrant invasion
…………………….
Shut down the invasion.
Anne Smith says
No need for Italy to beg for help. What sort of help have they in mind? How much help does it need to close the ports to migrant boats and tow them all back to Libya. Then destroy the boats so they cannot be used again. All immigrant boats should be destroyed to prevent further re-use.
Boats in mid stream should be detained and towed back, if impossible sink them, the “passengers ” should be removed and taken back.
Only when this is all done will they stop coming.
Mark A says
Why just threaten to close its ports? Italy should just close its posts and start sending these boat people back to Libya where they came from.
JDow says
They have Sow the wind. They are reaping the whirlwind. Sink a few of these refugee boats. That should slow the tide. Keep sinking them until there are no more. They have done nothing to warrant any regard from the Italians. There is no point to importing your new Fascist Muslim leaders.
{^_^}
Susan B says
It seems only males are “refugees”????
Donald R Laster Jr says
That is because it is an invading army.
Sarah says
i want to know, just where in the hell are they storing all these people?? I doubt any first world nation on the planet could scramble to provide accommodation and housing literally overnight for such vast numbers. Are they getting off boats to go straight into tents in mile after mile after mile of refugee camps? Even given the timeframes we’ve seen since these migrants first started flooding Italy’s shores – have they really had the time to rummage up the resources, labour and spare land to build mile after mile after mile of temporary accommodation? I just cannot see how it could be done?
Italy has two choices.
1. Follow Australia’s path and turn back those boats. This is the sensible option, the EU be damned.
2. Gather all these idiot’s together and spend every cent that needs to be spent, to rummage up every singe airplane, bus, car, truck, train and horse and cart – and deliver every single last one of them immediately to the borders of France. France can then either take them on, or do the same themselves and dump them all at the border of Germany.
Germany did this. Germany welcomed them all. Germany wants this. Dump them all on Germany’s land and let them deal with it. France has backed Germany all the way with this – and France is closer.
Hell, just tell every single migrant – ‘Here’s a packed lunch and $40 euro. Take it, make your way to the French border and head on into France. Germany is the next border over – so keep walking if you want to make it to the Motherland.’ Let them walk their entitled, economic backside’s off, they’ve made it this far, a trek through Italy and onto France and Germany isn’t too much of a trial.
Robert Brooks says
But the eu has ‘open borders’. Shot that idea in the foot.
theoretically;
1.migrant wants whats best choice for themselves. usually has a choice. implied commitment. if you want to live here act right.
2.refugee wants anywhere other than where they came from. no choice no commitment. want to live here their way.
Mark T says
The photo accompanying the article shows more of the widows and orphan refugees Obama said republicans are afraid of. Oh, wait, upon further inspection, I can’t see a single woman or orphan. All I see are military age men.
John says
Desperate situations demand desperate measures. Ensure no boats leave the Libyan coast, destroy ALL boats on the Lybian coast and maintain a rigorous patrol to enforce no boat departures.
Elizabeth says
I agree with all comments, especially with Trish. The named Charities and many more like them do not deserve our money as in my view, they are all Anti-White and are committing White Genocide.
Linnte says
Ah, the benefits of being in the EU. Ya gotta wonder if the NGO’s wouldn’t pluck the migrants from the sea would they even attempt this dangerous ordeal? Of course not. And if they stayed in their own country would they live? Of course they would. I have no sympathy for EU now. None at all.
Carolyne says
The EU organization is a bunch of flim-flam artists, living it high on the hog in Brussels and Vienna while the ordinary people of the countries who fell for the con game suffer trying to hold the barbarians at bay.
The EU will soon collapse under its own weight and when the normal Europeans finally wake up to the fact that they have been had.
patriotliz says
BUILD THAT WALL!….CLOSE THOSE PORTS!
Where is their Coast Guard? Force the boats to turn around or charge a huge fine for bringing migrants to Europe so it’s no longer worth their time/effort to pick them up. If Soros is funding these boats..ARREST the bastard and seize his assets.
Back in 1993…even Bill Clinton turned back boats of Haitian refugees:

David says
In the ‘invasion of Europe’ we are seeing the fulfillment of the goals set forth in the Humanist Manifesto II –
see -:-
https://americanhumanist.org/what-is-humanism/manifesto2/
World Community
TWELFTH: We deplore the division of humankind on nationalistic grounds. We have reached a turning point in human history where the best option is to transcend the limits of national sovereignty and to move toward the building of a world community in which all sectors of the human family can participate. Thus we look to the development of a system of world law and a world order based upon transnational federal government. This would appreciate cultural pluralism and diversity. It would not exclude pride in national origins and accomplishments nor the handling of regional problems on a regional basis. Human progress, however, can no longer be achieved by focusing on one section of the world, Western or Eastern, developed or underdeveloped. For the first time in human history, no part of humankind can be isolated from any other. Each person’s future is in some way linked to all. We thus reaffirm a commitment to the building of world community, at the same time recognizing that this commits us to some hard choices.
THIRTEENTH: This world community must renounce the resort to violence and force as a method of solving international disputes. We believe in the peaceful adjudication of differences by international courts and by the development of the arts of negotiation and compromise. War is obsolete. So is the use of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons. It is a planetary imperative to reduce the level of military expenditures and turn these savings to peaceful and people-oriented uses.
FOURTEENTH: The world community must engage in cooperative planning concerning the use of rapidly depleting resources. The planet earth must be considered a single ecosystem. Ecological damage, resource depletion, and excessive population growth must be checked by international concord. The cultivation and conservation of nature is a moral value; we should perceive ourselves as integral to the sources of our being in nature. We must free our world from needless pollution and waste, responsibly guarding and creating wealth, both natural and human. Exploitation of natural resources, uncurbed by social conscience, must end.
FIFTEENTH: The problems of economic growth and development can no longer be resolved by one nation alone; they are worldwide in scope. It is the moral obligation of the developed nations to provide – through an international authority that safeguards human rights – massive technical, agricultural, medical, and economic assistance, including birth control techniques, to the developing portions of the globe. World poverty must cease. Hence extreme disproportions in wealth, income, and economic growth should be reduced on a worldwide basis.
SIXTEENTH: Technology is a vital key to human progress and development. We deplore any neo-romantic efforts to condemn indiscriminately all technology and science or to counsel retreat from its further extension and use for the good of humankind. We would resist any moves to censor basic scientific research on moral, political, or social grounds. Technology must, however, be carefully judged by the consequences of its use; harmful and destructive changes should be avoided. We are particularly disturbed when technology and bureaucracy control, manipulate, or modify human beings without their consent. Technological feasibility does not imply social or cultural desirability.
SEVENTEENTH: We must expand communication and transportation across frontiers. Travel restrictions must cease. The world must be open to diverse political, ideological, and moral viewpoints and evolve a worldwide system of television and radio for information and education. We thus call for full international cooperation in culture, science, the arts, and technology across ideological borders. We must learn to live openly together or we shall perish together.
