1. It's been going on for a couple of years now. Most refugees travel by way of Libya from where they attempt to reach Italy or Greece. I don't know why it hasn't been in the news in the US. Perhaps a sense of guilt for at least indirectly causing this crisis?
1. I think most people at the beginning of the fighting were prepared to wait it out and really didn't want to leave their homes unless there was no alternative. However, it's become clear in the last 12 months that shit aint getting any better, particularly with the success of ISIS, and probably won't for a long, long time, so suddenly a lot of people have decided enough is enough and they need to get out. Summer is generally the best time for migrating as the weather is warmer and the seas are calmer, hence the movement of people has really spiked over the last EU summer.
moreover its the arab division between sunni and shia muslims. the pro assad muslims are shia, like the iranians. the fast majority of the muslims in the gulf states are sunni. they dont get along well with the shia. they are afraid of political instability if there would be a major influx of shia and keep their borders shut
We already tried that, though.
Saw this funny comment on a blog a year ago or so (forgot where exactly):
how are they doing in INDONESIA?
There are some radicals and their numbers are growing, unfortunately. But the vast majority of Indonesians is still too lazy to be angry...
This is so brilliant.
Who did Sweden bomb the shit out of? Or Germany for that matter? I think they are both actively speaking out against the Syrian air strikes.
When did the US bomb the shit out of Syria? I swear, every Mideast thread acts as if the Middle East was some sort of utopia before 1991. Or 1948, if it's the Jews we're trying to blame.
Some Hungarian made that point. Does Australia still send asylum-seekers off to Papua New Guinea?
I heard the beach boy was moved so it could look better in the news, fucking disgusting people. And well re-opening a formmer concentration camp will be cheaper, only a new camp guard needs to be trainedSome Hungarian made that point. Does Australia still send asylum-seekers off to Papua New Guinea?
Is everyone aware that the Beach Boy's dad has been exposed as the human-trafficking boat captain and not some poor refugee?
Some of the older refugees from Romania could be ex- Securitate members. They'd have plenty experience.
Cheap labor too
I only heard that there's more to the story than a small boy drowning. Until now around 2500 people have drowned while attempting to reach Europe, but all of a sudden a little boy matters more than the others?
Clearly, you haven't been to Germany. Seems we have to avoid being called "racist" and "Nazi" at all cost, even if that means to give up our own cultural identity.
