tunisians journey to europe

[Beauty for Ashes 257]

5000 boat people land every month.. lampadousa is only 150 miles from tunisia and the small island is inundated with haragas, or tunisians and north africans seeking a better life in Europe

[Peter_Pan 661]

And because women are so worthy, they get thrown overboard!

To prevent the overloaded boats from Tunisia and Libya headed for Lampedusa from capsizing, young males on board have been throwing the women overboard, most of whom apparently drowned. This could partly explain the virtual absence of any women among the Tunisian masses invading Lampedusa every day now.

All exclusively young men, rather poor and rarely speaking, tell the same story. As Tarek, 20, left there twenty days of Kairouan. ”We were packed in 150 in a boat designed for 60, says the boy. During the trip to Lampedusa, twelve girls were thrown into the sea.”

Then I was transferred to Sicily, I escaped and took the train.But now I have no money, so tonight I’m going too the beach. “Most want to go to France, Belgium, the Netherlands or Scandinavia, confirms Gaetano Scullino, the mayor came oversee operations.This is why we must solve the problem with Europe, it is not only France and Italy. “

Meanwhile, the elected official has taken responsibility. ”It was the image of our city and the tranquility of my constituents, but it was mostly a humanitarian issue, we could not sit back!” And while his city was the scene of a Saturday demonstration in support of Tunisian immigrants, in which regional organizations of the extreme left have called for the opening of the French border, Gaetano Scullino already feared more. ”Since the government has decided to empty Lampedusa , thousands of Tunisians have escaped the Apulian, and they will come here! “

Source? It's telling that the only people who picked up this completely non-verifiable "newsstory" were the likes of Pamela Geller and her fellow trashbags. The original Italian story posts nothing at all verifying this happened- no last names from the two people alleging this happened, no reports of calls for further investigation into whether or not this happened, nothing. This is not news, it's a particle of a story that's completely and totally unverified since it was first alleged.

Is this the thread where we get to declare things without sources? If so, I would like to declare that I am king of the universe. I have all the documents right here to prove it. Too bad you can't see them through your monitor.

The source was Le Figaro.

...] Tous, exclusivement des hommes jeunes, plutôt pauvres et rarement francophones, racontent la même histoire. Comme Tarek, 20 ans, parti il y a vingt jours de Kairouan.

«Nous étions entassés à 150 dans un bateau prévu pour 60, explique le garçon. Au cours du trajet pour Lampedusa, douze filles ont été jetées à la mer. Puis j’ai été transféré en Sicile, je me suis échappé et j’ai pris le train. Mais maintenant je n’ai plus d’argent alors, ce soir, je pars moi aussi par la plage.»

Leur unique obsession: passer la frontière. «La plupart veulent aller en France, en Belgique, aux Pays-Bas ou en Scandinavie, confirme Gaetano Scullino, le maire de la ville venu superviser les opérations. [...]

Easy enough to spot with a google search.

It's more credible if a guy named Tarek does the declaring and then disappears off into the sunset. See if you can track him down.

[Peter_Pan 661]

Cherry pick much?

Or should I just make my fiance write instead of me? He is a guy, so he his words are twice more credible than yours, just like the lives of those women were less important than that of their male counteparts. Or do you deny that?

[sandinista! 1,816]

Yawn.

[Peter_Pan 661]

As usual, a potent argument.

Yawn.

I like the part where she is all riled up for women when she accused this entire country of having stupid/fat/lazy women earlier in here. I like this selective feminism. I like the way she is hilarious like that.

The Telegraph interviewed a female survivor, who stated that around 100 people were thrown overboard after dying onboard, and that "especially" women had perished. Not exactly the same as tossing women screaming overboard.

...funny how easy it is for some people to start arguments over nothing lol

Oh dear, this account, with all of its verification and sources and whatnot does not appear to have made the islamophobe Internet circuit, strangely enough. Thank you for sharing this here. What a horrible, awful series of events too.

And how disgusting that there are those who would drag these poor people's bodies up from the ocean floor to make bigot hay with. Gross.

All nice an preppy, but the articles speak about two different incidents, ups, I guess your argument is invalid now, awww!
