Israel risks damaging its international reputation by turning a blind eye to these desperate refugees.
LOL. What reputation is that? A fascist terror state? Israel doesn't care about anyone else but themselves and their own people.
They would flatten Palestine if they thought they could get away with it (and they're doing a pretty good job of slowly suffocating it into non existence right now.
Although the statement "Flatten Palestine!" has NEVER been made by Israel or Jewish clerics (and hence rings completely false), statements such as ...
"Kill All The Jews"
"Destroy Isreal"
...are accepted and commonplace.
