This is verbatim the argument that Putin made 20 years ago. We have seen where this mentality led. You want the same crap in Australia? Why?

As an Australian, I certainly don’t. We’ve learnt this lesson the hard way too; the 2005 Cronulla Riots were a direct consequence of bringing in a large cohort of people we knew wouldn’t integrate from the Lebanese civil war 15 years earlier. However, since 1996, no matter who we vote for, we always get increased immigration. It’s currently around 1.5 million immigrants a year, which for a population of 25 million is bonkers insane. Seems to me that the NSW Premier is right: Mass Immigration is done for the sole purpose for government to seek more power.

“Lebanese civil war”
Lebanese couldn’t challenge their own government…. so great! They won’t be able to organize opposition to the government in Australia.
Governments don’t mind feckless, dysfunctional populations. Well-organized populations terrify them.

Were the Lebanese refugees Maronite Christians or Muslims?

The reason that I asked was about assimilation being raised in a smaller Saskatchewan community. At that time the British including us oatmeal savages (both Protestants and Catholics), Norwegians ( Protestants), Mennonite (AnaBaptist), and various Eastern Europeans (Protestants, Catholics, and Jewish) were assimilating, as in intermarrying. As were the only two Lebanese families (Maronites) that I went to high school with, there did not seem to be a problem, the girls were cute ;-D

What will it take to make it clear that people aren’t interchangeable? Cultural differences are real and enormous. Why is it such a hard thought to grasp for so many people?

The fact that freedom of speech is held to be incompatible with multicultural societies should actually tell that guy that multicultural societies are not good. But of course this simple inference will escape someone with his limited cognitive skills.

\ Do Israeli Muslims and Jews readily intermarry?
No, of course. We are at war with Muslims in general, btw.
From 2021:
there are 1.3 million couples in Israel, 1.26 million of which are Jewish, and 85,000 of which are interfaith marriages in which one member is Jewish.
A majority of interfaith marriages in Israel – 52,000 – are between a Jewish man and a non-Jewish woman. Children conceived through such marriages are not considered Jewish according to Jewish law.
Just 32,000 such marriages are between a Jewish woman and a non-Jewish man.
Eight-seven percent of Jewish men and women who are intermarried are in relationships with people who do not belong to a specific religion and are likely from the former Soviet Union.
Despite claims by the extremist Lehava group, which opposes interfaith and inter-ethnic interaction, relationships, and marriages, Jewish women are marrying Arab men at a negligible rate. Jewish women are, however, more likely to Arab men than Jewish men are to marry Arab women, according to the CBS data.

LOL, that is the point that I am trying to say; cultures that do not intermarry, do not assimilate, they often cannot even integrate effectively. And even the post that I mentioned about Saskatchewan above, that was sometimes very difficult. During WW1, some Ukrainians and other Eastern Europreans ended up in concentration camps because of their support for the Austro-Hungarian side. Yet by the end of WW2, they too were essentially assimilated. As my uncle said, we were all finally Canadians because to the bloody SS we were all untermensch. He later married his corporal’s sister, which is how I got my colourful Ukrainian aunt ;-D
