If a person's passport and any other identification materials have been confiscated and they are physically, sexually, and emotionally abused in a foreign nation, and that does not put them in the category of being a refugee, then I wonder who you consider to be 'real' refugees. I'm thankful that you thinking that it is okay to kill someone who is seeking safety and peace doesn't actually make it okay...

Of course Israel has no 'obligation' to let these people in, but couldn't they just have been arrested or turned away?

Then they're not legitimate refugees, just economic migrants. Israel has no obligation to take them. “Migrants who suffer from racism, discrimination and poverty in Egypt attempt to cross to Israel, even at the risk of losing their lives, in the hope of having better living standards there.”

Then they’re not legitimate refugees, just economic migrants. Israel has no obligation to take them.
