Since 2015 Five Wealthy Gulf Nations Have Refused to Take a Single Syrian Refugee
Where is the criticism for these countries?
As the Syrian refugee crisis continued in 2015, rich Arab states Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, UAE, Oman and Kuwait have remained closed to them.
From The Daily Mail
More than four million Syrians have been forced to escape the never-ending civil war ravaging their country and the barbaric terror group carving a bloody trail across the Middle East.
The vast majority live in overcrowded refugee camps in Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt and Iraq – all under threat from ISIS – and record numbers are making the perilously long journey to Europe.
Yet, as debate rages between politicians in Europe over how many they should take, nearby super-wealthy Gulf nations of Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain have refused to offer sanctuary to a single Syrian refugee.
Amnesty International’s Head of Refugee and Migrants’ Rights, Sherif Elsayid-Ali, described their inaction as ‘shameful’.
He said: ‘The records of Gulf countries is absolutely appalling, in terms of actually showing compassion and sharing the responsibility of this crisis… It is a disgrace.’
Left with nothing, these refugees travel thousands of miles from the Middle East, through central Europe and across the Mediterranean to reach countries like Germany and Austria.
Others have tried to sneak on boats, trains and trucks crossing the Channel to the UK.
Almost 3,000 have died trying to reach Europe by sea this year, but hundreds more attempt the same life-threatening journey with their babies and young children every single night.
The tragic death of three-year-old Aylan Kurdi who drowned trying to reach the Greek island of Kos from Bodrum, Turkey, inspired a seismic shift in the European attitude towards the 313,000 people who have reached the continent this year.
None have been allowed to enter the (relatively) nearby Gulf nations, who all rank in the world’s top 50 GDPs and have a combined military budget of more than £65billion, according to Arab expert Sultan Sooud al-Qassemi.
He said: ‘The Gulf must realise that now is the time to change their policy regarding accepting refugees from the Syria crisis. It is the moral, ethical and responsible step to take.’

there are, hypocritically, certain exempt nation states, these arab states mentioned and israel and mexico and japan for example, who are permitted to have a “skin”, ie, a self-protective border, like any other living organism intended for survival.
but the non-exempted (by the globalists such as sorest, and their own “globalist treasonous leaders” such as ozero and hilde witch and dr. merkele) former nation states clearly not intended for survival, such as the us and various northern and other select nations of europe, all targets of racist marxism, are not.
every discerning person seeking real justice has a duty resist and absolutely question these obscenely toxic, hypocritical tactics.
