they had some stuff about the refugees and them taking 30,000 of them

I just turned over to “cats that make you laugh”

you’d have to laugh with the way they run this place

Ther is nothing at all thta is funny about how we turn our face away from what has been going on long enough for the band Yes to have written a song “We Agree” We Agree to turn our face away.. They gave it away on the internet if you gave dollars to the 9/11 firefighters fund for whose families needed support.

Yes. Long enough ago for the song to have been written.

they will be killed in turkey?

they will be killed in Greece?

they will be killed in hungary?

as you heard it today, the father of the kids that were drowned had been in turkey for 3 years

as every other bugger is going on foot to Germany you’d be mad to use people smugglers to greek islands

its ok we can just rack up another few billion dollars so someone can feel good about themselves rather than solving any problem

I wonder if we can give them NBN?

Be mad if they didn’t.

What we need is to get the UN to agree that Tony Abbott can stop the boats, that way we can get him to be special envoy “to stop the boats” and then he will have to step down as PM to become the envoy that saved the world.

basically the germans are fucked now

at least the british have the channel to hold them off

the first bombs that will go off in Britain and Germany will be chlorine bombs

all the materials you need for those are available in the supermarket

i’d say casualties will light, you might have some old lady die of fright about unless you can’t get away from the chlorine gas cloud you’d be ok

if I were ISIS i’d make a beeline for the London underground and set one off their, paralyse the transport network

They repeated their own history, and that of the British in learning that you cannot militarily dominate a large country that has no central government, no centralised industry, that is tribal in nature, where alliances are pragmatic and easily broken without shame, that there is no other allegiance other than to God, where the land is impoverished and cannot sustain armies so therefore supply lines are long, where the terrain is designed for defence and there is no treasury or riches to extract to subsidise your own nations treasure and lives.

alexander built lots of forts

I wouldn’t be surprised if he built cities there too, probably after his horse or something

controlling the roads is the key to Afghanistan

once the yanks gave the terrorists surface to air weapons the jig was up

if they had any decent SAMs the allies would have marched out of Afghanistan years ago

I do have to ask: why aren’t more Gulf states taking refugees?

Sure they are providing a lot of money and I can understand why Israel doesn’t but other Gulf states? They have common or similar languages, are culturally compatible and the refugees are near their homeland.

It’s not just ISIS, Saudis and Gulf State Arabs have been joining all sorts of foreign wars for decades, at least since the Russians invaded Afghanistan. Bin Laden for example was a Saudi from a very well-connected family, who left to join his Mulsim brethren in the fight against the infidel.

the Jewish member for Melbourne port electorate was trying to get Australia to take in all the Africans Israel was trying to kick out

what a nice man trying to help them

I find it interesting from a community that normally has quite varied – and normally quite intelligent – views that no-one seems to be able to come up with a reason for the Gulf states policy towards the Syrian refugees.

That says to me the question I asked is quite pertinent.

people are stupid

they just think what the man in the television says or some stupid arts student doing a degree in politics with zero experience of the world

it would probably be better if Australia breaks into separate countries and puts up borders

those that want to live under sharia law, a Chinese government and god knows whatever poisonous religious / moral code that they have imported can be sent to Melbourne or Sydney

of course they will end up fighting each other because they all want to rule the world

I say we let Germany take all the refugees , after all , they want to

it will be funny because the major cities of Germany will be smoking ruins once again as 3,000,000 arrivals decide to assert their dominance

The Gulf states are nearly all dictatorships (or as they call them, “absolute monarchies”) and are not going to welcome the refugees from the disintegration of another Arab dictatorship. These are nations that haven’t yet needed to deal much with the so-called “Arab spring” and would like to keep it very much at arm’s length.

there are quite a few reasons why they aren’t taking refugees, though that isn’t strictly true. ISIS hate the saudi even though they are the same sect. refugees would be mindful that they are fleeing the bombings and not ISIS for future wellbeing. gulf states don’t want a lot of disaffected people. refugees don’t get, or want to be, “smuggled” there. gaining citizenship in these countries is next to impossible.

I find it interesting from a community that normally has quite varied – and normally quite intelligent – views that no-one seems to be able to come up with a reason for the Gulf states policy towards the Syrian refugees.

Um. What? You got several good answers. Just say “thank you”.

I think a permanent solution needs to be found for on going war refugees

various nominated places around the world and managed by the United Nations

people can choose to live there until its safe to return to choose to stay there

either way, refugees are an ongoing problem so an ongoing solution needs to be looked at

take this example

Migrant Crisis: Where Have the Gulf States Been?

Why a region with $2 trillion in annual income can’t seem to spare much for the neighbors

Finally, a rich Arab has come forward with a major offer of help to Middle Eastern refugees.

Naguib Sawiris, an Egyptian billionaire, tweeted on September 1 that he was willing to buy an island from Greece or Italy to “host the migrants” and not hold back on any financing needed to make it a permanent home. He even suggested that it can become a new country called Hope. (Though he also suggested it could be “at least temporary until they can return to their countries.”)

more..

so the UN should develop an ongoing plan around this type of model but scale it up to match on going refugees

wars take a few years, so staying there for a period of years seems reasonable

seems reasonable.

I do have to ask: why aren’t more Gulf states taking refugees?

Sure they are providing a lot of money and I can understand why Israel doesn’t but other Gulf states? They have common or similar languages, are culturally compatible and the refugees are near their homeland.

Why aren’t they taking any refugees in?

Because they are fleeing extreme muslim values. Not the sort of people wanted in extreme muslim countries.

seems reasonable.

Seems a bit of a cop out.

“The fine distinctions of politics and faith, which are often invisible to Westerners, matter in the Middle East. They produce wars that are as devastating as they are difficult for outsiders to comprehend. “

ROFL.
