Italy: 124 Muslim migrants leap from NGO migrant ship to reach Sicily in a hurry as crew waits for authorization

Sep 24, 2020 3:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 11 Comments

Muslim migrants from North Africa have been flowing into Italy in large numbers, and they are becoming ever more brazen. Revolts have taken place on coronavirus quarantine ships over restrictions which have angered migrants. And that isn’t all. The latest report indicates that there is now even more impatience among migrants:

Dozens of people have jumped from an NGO migrant rescue ship in an attempt to reach Sicily, after the crew waited 10 days for authorisation to disembark their passengers. The Spanish NGO Open Arms said 124 of the 273 refugees and migrants on its Proactiva Open Arms boat, leaped into the water during the largest-known incident of its kind.

The result of their actions:

They were rescued by the Italian coastguard and brought to safety in the port of Palermo.

They knew that kowtowing from officials would be the only response to their actions. Islamic supremacists know that no matter what they do, the leftist coalition government of Italy and other Western panderers will surrender to their demands.

“Dozens jump from migrant rescue ship in attempt to reach Sicily,” by Lorenzo Tondo, Guardian, September 18, 2020:

Dozens of people have jumped from an NGO migrant rescue ship in an attempt to reach Sicily, after the crew waited 10 days for authorisation to disembark their passengers.

The Spanish NGO Open Arms said 124 of the 273 refugees and migrants on its Proactiva Open Arms boat, leaped into the water during the largest-known incident of its kind.

They were rescued by the Italian coastguard and brought to safety in the port of Palermo.

“It’s the first time so many migrants dived into the water,” said Riccardo Gatti, the head of mission for Open Arms. “On Thursday, 76 entered the water, and today another 48. These gestures are the culmination of frustration and desperation.

“Men and women who have experienced trauma and unimaginable oppression are then placed under increasing stress during these long delays at sea, which can last days, even weeks.”

Proactiva Open Arms had originally rescued people from various boats between 8 and 10 September. All had set off for Europe from Libya, where aid agencies said people faced torture and abuse.

According to Open Arms and the Italian NGO Emergency, many of those onboard had burn marks and other signs of violence on their bodies. Almost all bear “the symptoms of post-traumatic stress due to the abuse they experienced in their countries of origin and during the journey. Not to mention as a result of the harrowing sea crossing,” the NGO said.

Gatti said the refusal of Italian authorities to accept the refugees and migrants had “raised their stress to unbearable proportions, to the point that diving into the sea – often without knowing how to swim – is seen as a way to alleviate their suffering.

“When those who remained aboard realise that the others in the water were rescued, then of course some of them jump in as an act of emulation so that they too, can make it to shore.”

Three days ago, Open Arms received indications from the Italian authorities that the boat should head towards Palermo. It was not given authorisation to disembark, however. Standoffs between NGO ships and European authorities that refuse to allow the passengers to come ashore can last weeks and cause health emergencies on the ships….

      @nicu. Indeed! They are no refugees at all. They are parasites who come to an Eldorado life on costs of Unbelievers, heavy criminals, blood thirsty murderers and Jihadis. All of them will soon serve as aiding forces at the service of globalists who need them for the dirty work of selective genocide on European soil. They will be the terminators, ISIS style, who’ll drawn Europe, from the Strait of Gibraltar up to Hammerfest, in an ocean of blood. Politicians who are giving them now a helping hand, can be regarded vicious War Criminals and traitors as the Boys of Vichy, Vidkun Quisling and the Dutch NSB during WWII. Though there is an obvious difference between the two groups of traitors. The above named traitors had served the Nazi’s during WWII, when their country was already occupied. Modern traitors (left and right wing) are handing over their own folks during peace time for a Fist Full of Dollars. It is nothing personal- Only business!.

    They should all be deported–but probably won’t be.

    The NGOs are breaking the law – they are effectively people trafficking. The EU needs to clamp down on the NGOs centrally by making the organisations and their activities illegal, arresting the directors and staff, and seizing and destroying their boats.

      The EU must outlaw trafficking NGO’s and put them on the terror list.

    This is the migration invasion of young muslim/islamic men following the islamic plan to disrupt the society and replace it with an islamic dictatorship ruled by sharia laws. Islam cannot invade the West or Europe with a military force, but they can take over through migration and out breeding us.
