Either the author of this article is extraordinarily mendacious or horrifically uneducated (neither would surprise me given the shape of journalism and the media, nor are these two mutually exclusive). First of all, Kosovars are Albanians. Many people in Albania have/had family in Kosovo. The comparison with the migrant crisis is completely off base. Furthermore, the majority of Albanians are Muslims. This would make them culturally closer to migrants. However, as we know, most migrants aren't interested in settling in poor countries. Second, many migrants (per statistics) are not refugees from Syria. Many are merely taking advantage of the cluster fuck that is EU policy and exploiting the Syrian refugee crises to get into Europe. The Kosovars were exclusively refugees. Third, Jews were also killed by Albanian collaborationist forces, but the Jewish population was negligible in Albania before the war (between 24-300). In other words, they were largely unfamiliar with Jews, making antisemitism difficult. After the war, when communist leader Hoxha came to power, religious oppression caused many Jews to leave and move to Israel. Worth noting is that Kosovar Albanians were not as kind to Slavs, Jews, and Gypsies as Albanians in Albania, declaring jihad against them. All in all, somewhere around 600 Jews were killed in "Greater Albania". Give credit where credit is due, but let's not exaggerate. (Look at Poland for comparison: largest population of Jews in the world before WWII, no collaboration with Germans in general populace and certainly not at the official or state level, largest number of recognitions among Righteous among Nations, only country occupying Germans made harboring or aiding Jews punishable by death for entire household, etc, etc). So perhaps the author shouldn't use Albania as some kind of fabled Shangri-La for shaming everyone else. The false comparisons and false characterizations are really in poor taste. If the author is so hospitable and open, then why doesn't he open his house to some migrants? This isn't a joke. Perhaps a posturing member of the white upper middle class divorced from the consequences of his politics has the luxury of moralizing irresponsibly, but for anyone with a clue, this migrant crisis was a complex and disastrous failure in EU policy and governance. Warm feelings about some simplistic straw man refugee won't fly.
