Muslim migrants from North Africa have been flowing into Italy in large numbers, and they are becoming ever more brazen. Revolts have taken place on coronavirus quarantine ships over restrictions which have angered migrants. And that isn’t all. The latest report indicates that there is now even more impatience among migrants:
Dozens of people have jumped from an NGO migrant rescue ship in an attempt to reach Sicily, after the crew waited 10 days for authorisation to disembark their passengers. The Spanish NGO Open Arms said 124 of the 273 refugees and migrants on its Proactiva Open Arms boat, leaped into the water during the largest-known incident of its kind.
The result of their actions:
They were rescued by the Italian coastguard and brought to safety in the port of Palermo.
They knew that kowtowing from officials would be the only response to their actions. Islamic supremacists know that no matter what they do, the leftist coalition government of Italy and other Western panderers will surrender to their demands.

Dozens of people have jumped from an NGO migrant rescue ship in an attempt to reach Sicily, after the crew waited 10 days for authorisation to disembark their passengers.
The Spanish NGO Open Arms said 124 of the 273 refugees and migrants on its Proactiva Open Arms boat, leaped into the water during the largest-known incident of its kind.
They were rescued by the Italian coastguard and brought to safety in the port of Palermo.
“It’s the first time so many migrants dived into the water,” said Riccardo Gatti, the head of mission for Open Arms. “On Thursday, 76 entered the water, and today another 48. These gestures are the culmination of frustration and desperation.
“Men and women who have experienced trauma and unimaginable oppression are then placed under increasing stress during these long delays at sea, which can last days, even weeks.”
Proactiva Open Arms had originally rescued people from various boats between 8 and 10 September. All had set off for Europe from Libya, where aid agencies said people faced torture and abuse.
According to Open Arms and the Italian NGO Emergency, many of those onboard had burn marks and other signs of violence on their bodies. Almost all bear “the symptoms of post-traumatic stress due to the abuse they experienced in their countries of origin and during the journey. Not to mention as a result of the harrowing sea crossing,” the NGO said.
Gatti said the refusal of Italian authorities to accept the refugees and migrants had “raised their stress to unbearable proportions, to the point that diving into the sea – often without knowing how to swim – is seen as a way to alleviate their suffering.
“When those who remained aboard realise that the others in the water were rescued, then of course some of them jump in as an act of emulation so that they too, can make it to shore.”
Three days ago, Open Arms received indications from the Italian authorities that the boat should head towards Palermo. It was not given authorisation to disembark, however. Standoffs between NGO ships and European authorities that refuse to allow the passengers to come ashore can last weeks and cause health emergencies on the ships….
