And this is something fascinating what everybody should know. Anti-semitism was so wide spread in Europe and US...

For example, story of Kristallnacht and expelling of polish jews to Poland...

Nazis expelled majority of Polish jews to Poland in 28 October 1938. However, Poland refused to accept them even though they were Polish citizens. So ~8000 people (families with young children, elders..) ended up stranded in no-mans land without food, shelter, ... (Among those stranded were parents of Herschel Grynszpan, Polish Jews who was living in Paris. He heard and saw suffering of his family and, on Monday, 7 November 1938, he murdered Ernst vom Rath in Paris. Then Nazis organized Kristallnacht...)

And seems story is happening now with refugees from Syria: ISIS is not really interested to have certain people (only "real" Muslims can stay) in their state - so they pretty much expelled bunch of people. But, for Europe, they are not good enough - as Hungarian prime minister says that refugees "are threatening Europe’s Christian culture" [1]
