Europe Is Done

[gwb-trading]

I never believe "none" or "all" or "every", etc., in anything to do with human affairs.

So you disagree with the reports from CNN, BBC, Al Jazeera, Arab News, Alburra, Al Arabiya, Reuters, all the major refugee organizations, and the U.N. that Saudi Arabia has taken in no Syrian refugees.

Are you sticking by the fanciful 2.5 million number that you posted earlier?

Let's get to the bottom of this - the total number of Syrian refugees helped by Saudi Arabia is ZERO or so close to zero to effectively be zero. If you disagree with this then please come up with a reliable source besides the Saudi government that says differently.

To have a honest conversation about a refugee crisis, we need to agree on the basic facts -- otherwise the conversation will go nowhere.

The question about why the gulf states don't accept refuges still was not answered here. Maybe the answer is too obvious or too telling.

The Hitler thing was just sad....

Indeed, but it was fun jumping on him for it.

Perhaps SA's problem is more semantics...
"A spokesman for UNHCR, the U.N.'s refugee agency, told Bloomberg that there are roughly 500,000 Syrians living in Saudi Arabia, though they are not classified as refugees and it isn't clear when the majority of them arrived in the country."

Yes, most have been living there since the 1970s... as part of a guest worker program.

This match may go to you, though I want to see what SA's response to the criticism is, first.
So maybe I only shoot down 99% of AAA's statements.

Well now that we are moving on... let's get to the main subject.

What is your solution to the Syrian refugee crisis? The neighboring countries and Europe are overwhelmed. The gulf states are doing nothing, and are likely not to do anything significant in the future.

Where is the funding coming for re-settlement for millions of people? Who is responsible for paying for the mess? How do you resolve the Syrian civil war situation so some of these people could eventually return home?

Most of those "refugees" are illiterate, agressive human garbage. Why on earth should Saudi Arabia, Kuwait or Quatar let those monkeys in? It's their distinct right to protect their own population against invadors.

Saudis clearly said that Syrians would destabilize their countries, so they don't want any. I can understand them very well! I don't want any Syrians in my country, either. But since German government is working against their own people and trying to extinct them, what can I do?

My solution to the refugee problem is to outlaw Islam. Just don't allow it. If somebody is doing Islam send in the jackbooted thugs, make a big statement out of it. Blow shit up. Get the talking heads of the entire world to report the news with big smiling eyes...

"19th century
"Irish racism in Victorian Britain and 19th century United States included the stereotyping of the Irish as alcoholics, and implications that they monopolised certain (usually low-paying) job markets.[citation needed] They were often called "white Negroes." Throughout Britain and the US, newspaper illustrations and hand drawings depicted a prehistoric "ape-like image" of Irish faces to bolster evolutionary racist claims that the Irish people were an "inferior race" as compared to Anglo-Saxons.[19]"

Their homes are destroyed by war. So it is in fact a refugee crisis.

I didn't know there was a war going on in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and several mid African nations. In Hungary 65% of immigrants are coming from there. So if the majority are economic immigrants, you still consider it a refugee crisis? I call it an invasion of economic parasites.
