Instead, the emphasis is on protecting the “nation” against foreign viruses. These views are promoted not only by politicians, but also by leading religious authorities, including the evangelical right in the US, Catholic prelates in Eastern Europe, and Israel’s nationalist rabbis.
上述阵营也不相信庇护寻求者权利国际公约或缔约国的收容义务。任何人权考虑与道德或宗教方面的责任一样，都被嘲笑为危险的天真。相反，他们所强调的是保护“国家”远离外国病毒。不仅政治家宣传这样的观点，美国的福音教派、东欧天主教教士和以色列的民族主义拉比等主流宗教机构也是一样。
