I live in The Netherlands and I&#x27;m afraid of my own country for different reasons. I&#x27;m afraid of our politicians who seem to be almost exclusively EU-minded and don&#x27;t seem to care much about the safety of their own citizens.<p>I don&#x27;t think the Dutch government realises the threat of the massive muslim influx happening in Europe today. With almost no background checks happening, since the Dutch immigration office can&#x27;t handle the influx.<p>What European countries need to do is consult and take some cues from Israel, since they&#x27;ve been dealing with muslim terrorism for a long while. And every time I visited Israel I felt save. At the same time I don&#x27;t think Israel is a police state.<p>I remember, back when I was young, almost every couple of months, maybe even every month, there was some bomb exploding in Israel, killing people at marketplaces and in buses. Once Israel build the wall and increased border checks, these events happen way less often. The wall did work well to protect the citizens, no matter what some leftist people might want to say. Likewise, I do believe walls will make Europe saver.<p>Of course now Israel deals with stabbers, but I&#x27;m sure they figure out a solution. At the very least, they have armed citizens all over the country, ready to take countermeasures once these things happen. Here in The Netherlands we&#x27;re mostly sitting ducks.
