Jews And Syrians Compare And Contrast

To begin with, in both articles they have many identical similarities. The alike in both stories are that they both tell a story about struggling refugees. They both wanted to go to the United States of America. They both came from a horrible war zone and had to sacrifice many things. They have seen folks being ripped apart from each other. Trying to be aware and waiting for the next attack. These articles both have many similarities, but when there are similarities, there are differences.

One can found a good bit of similarities and differences within the Holocaust and the genocide going on it Syria. Such as ethnic groups being targeted, Usa refusing to allow refugees, and the tacked they used to kill the people the were targeting.

Wars are going on all over the world. People are moving wherever they can go in order to be safe from the bombs and the guns that are being pointed at them or simply becoming collateral damage. Some of these civilians are getting immigrated to the United States in order to have peace in their lives. In the article “Being an immigrant in the United States today means..,” Ali Mohammed, one of the interviewees, fled Syria in

People all over the world have been asking themselves if it is right for their country to let in refugees from Syria. It is a question everybody fears from answering because of the consequences it may take. Several states in America have denied the entry because of security reasons and the over population. Even if there are several countries still refusing Syrians there are a few who are accepting them. Looking at some articles, I’ve seen differential opinions and one must read and understand why Syria refugees need a chance to be rescued from all the chaos and horror they’ve been through.

The situations and cause for the Jews and the Syrians are different. The Jewish people have tried to escape discrimination and the high likelihood of extermination over their religion. The Syrians are trying to get away from the conflict in the Middle East and only some due to their religion. The Jews were turned away due to suspicion of harboring a spy, but the reason was unfounded. However with the Syrians, the likelihood of bringing in an extremist is high and possibly over two hundred ISIS sympathizers currently in the US. (2) Also the US barely accepted any Jewish refugees, but allowed about two thousand Syrian and may accept ten thousand later.

In both situations, the government is inflicting death upon the civilians in gruesome ways. In Syria, the government are dropping chemical and barrel bombs on civilians. In Germany, the government of Adolf Hitler was killing Jews in gas chambers. In addition, both countries’ leaders are hated world wide (Al-Assad and Hitler). Another similarity between both historical events is that the Jews and the Syrians Refugees both were/are not accepting with open arms into other countries. The Jews and Syrian Refugees were/are believed to bring in unwanted trouble (at the time Jews were thought to be “harbingers of dangerous

According to The Economist “If a potential terrorist is determined to enter America to do harm, there are easier and faster ways to get there than by going through the complex refugee resettlement process” (B.B.V.). Clearly terrorists can find quicker ways into our country other than posing as refugees. Terrorists who want to inflict true terror on their victims would use a quick and reliable means. Fear of terrorists does not make us refuse the Syrians; instead we have stepped back and looked at the effect these refugees would have on our

The U.S during the Holocaust was considered one of the most powerful nations in the world, economically, politically and socially, America was a model of democracy, success and freedom. During the Holocaust in the U.S more than half of all immigrants in the United States were Jewish, most of them refugees from Europe. In 1941, 45% of all immigrants to the United States were Jewish and in the U.S. the rescue of Jews and others, targeted by Nazi Germany was not a priority for the U.S. during World War II, therefore U.S. State Department policies made it very difficult for refugees to obtain entry. Even today the U.S. is still hesitant to letting Syrian refugees into the U.S. We would do anything to keep our country and our families safe.

It is now up to us to make them feel welcomed and understand it is not the first time we have accepted refugees we fear. Between 1975 and 1976, about 5500 Vietnamese Boat People immigrated to Canada. And yet, in 1939 Canada refused to open its doors to the Jewish refugees on the St. Louis steamship. We consider this part of our dark history, thus I ask myself: Why would we be ready to do it again? Are Jews and Syrians not the same? Maybe not, but after all they were all people. Let’s not make the same mistakes as those who have come before us by discriminating refugees

“Government officials have justified their lethargic response to the Syrian refugee crisis by citing security concerns. This excuse isn’t new. America’s security fears during World War II led to the rejection of Jews fleeing the Holocaust—and to the remorse that prompted the creation of the refugee process. Rather than repeat the mistake we promised never to forget, we must learn to address our fears without forgetting our humanity—and this begins by welcoming refugees who want nothing but to build a life of opportunity and peace.” They both are between the government and the people. The Syrian government is fighting with the rebels who don’t like the way the president is leading. In the holocaust it was Hitler vs. the Jews, and everyone protecting the Jews. “‘Nothing has been done to save these people, and we hope for stronger action by the international community,’ Mr. Pinheiro said, highlighting the obligation for countries under the 1948 genocide convention to take action to prevent it.” This quote means that, like in the Holocaust, nothing can be done to protect the people getting hurt. They both involve other countries. In the Syrian genocide other countries are helping fight the war. There are many allies in this war. In the holocaust, other countries were fighting in World War ll. These points relate to each other because the two wars happened almost the same ways. They are both moving in the same direction.

1st, the Jews and the Syrian refugees were trying to escape danger. The Jewish people wanted to escape from the Holocaust. The Syrian refugees had to abandon their homes because of the war. The Syrian people and Jews weren't threats to the U.S.

The Syrians are leaving their country for so many reasons, like they often decide to finally escape after seeing their neighborhoods bombed or family members killed. Thousands of Syrians are leaving their country each day. The risk on the journey to the border can be a high risk like, families walk for miles through the night to avoid being shot at by a snipers or being caught by soldiers who will kidnap young men to fight for the regime. Also, Latinos who are coming to the United States are coming to get a better life their inspired by the “American dreams”, but that’s not the only reason the want to come to the United States because life out there can be very hard. Poverty, political instability and recurring financial crises often conspire

Immigration laws have resulted in a situation where many illegal immigrants live and work in the United States. Yet, it is an important issue that has been blown out of proportion by the media and politicians. Here in the United States, Syrian refugees have enriched our cultural growth into a more diverse and positive outcome and have enhanced our influence in the World. However, Americans have responded to their arrival with violence and hate towards them.

“I swear with my heart that nothing has happened to people like what is happening now in Syria. People are dying for nothing and in very bad ways. Nothing in the world is like that. If they find your body, they will chop into pieces and throw it into the streets like garbage.”(Goodspeed Peter) This evidence proves this claim because this home is not safe for Hiyam Kholi, because people are dying for no reason, and that could be her. America has to let immigrants come to America in this circumstance, and for many other reasons, to protect them from things like this. If America can do this there would be less innocent people dying, and they would safe in America than any other place that is dangerous. Letting a certain amount of immigrants can be a great way to protect immigrants because someone big, and powerful is allowing them in. “president Barack Obama has directed the U.S government to accept at least 10,000 immigrants from Syria in the next fiscal year”.(Eilperin juliet) This evidence proves my claim, because someone as big and powerful in this government will allow immigrants not to be scared to come to America. Immigrants should not be afraid of America because we will take care of them just so nothing bad happens to them. If America is able to keep

Lymphoma or lymphatic cancer is a very serious and life threatening disease. In this country there is an estimated 63,900 new cases, 7,100 of which are Hodgkin’s lymphoma as opposed to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Since around the 70’s the occurrence of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma has almost doubled while the occurrence of Hodgkin’s disease has declined. (Steen, 1993)
