'Defending Europe' From Refugees (If They Survive Terror, Wars, Dictators And The Mediterranean)

An anti-immigrant movement called “Defend Europe” sails its ship in the Mediterranean for hunting refugee ships and the NGOs trying to help them out.

The group defines their mission as “to save Europe, to stop illegal immigration, and end the dying on the sea”. They declare that Europe is losing “safety and the way of life and there is a danger that Europeans will become a minority in their own European homelands”. On their website they are fundraising. 

They have raised $197,965  so far, from 2,641 contributors.

But one of their supporters says their goal is crystal clear on the same page’s comments section:

“Kolarov: Best of luck guys. Sink a couple of invader boats if you can ;)”
Another supporter, James Last, can't help but jump in: “Kolarov got it right; pull them back to the African shore and explode the boats, ALL of them. And if you get a chance, pull the trigger on the slave traders.”

Fishermen at a Tunisian port on Sunday prevented The C-Star, chartered by French-based group Génération identitaire (GI), from docking, but it seems like the far-right benefits from the EU's insufficient policy towards immigration and is finding a wind to sail its ship.

This Huffington Post editor met the crew and "tried to work out what the hell they’re doing".

One member says, “Migrants have to stop fleeing their countries and rebuild their nations, but these people are cowards.

Thousands of cowards fleeing from torture, rape, destruction, and these brave men and women have to “defend Europe” from them. 

The death rate among migrants attempting to cross the Mediterranean to enter Europe has almost doubled over the past year. Comparing the first five months of this year with the same period last year, UN data reveals that the mortality rate grew from 1.2% to 2.3%. The death rate during all of 2015 was 0.37% – a sixth of its current level.
