They don’t feel like throwing money around? They don’t feel like increasing the levels of insecurity? Just two examples.

  If France has war going on, we expect the neighbors Spain/Switzerland/Germany/Italy to help with the refugee situation. There should be no reason to send the French people to Indonesia even if Indonesia is the richest nation in the world. Local dynamics should be accounted for.

    Only that those countries (UAE, etc) don’t give a flying fuck about liberal values (in this case, good for them I guess)

    > France has war going on, we expect the neighbors Spain/Switzerland/Germany/Italy Per Wikipedia: > "Switzerland was easy to reach for refugees from the Nazis. Switzerland's refugee laws, especially with respect to Jews fleeing Germany, were strict and have caused controversy since the end of World War II. From 1933 until 1944 asylum for refugees could only be granted to those who were under personal threat owing to their political activities only; it did not include those who were under threat due to race, religion or ethnicity.[33] On the basis of this definition, Switzerland granted asylum to only 644 people between 1933 and 1945; of these, 252 cases were admitted during the war.[33] All other refugees were admitted by the individual cantons and were granted different permits, including a "tolerance permit" that allowed them to live in the canton but not to work. Over the course of the war, Switzerland interned 300,000 refugees.[34] Of these, 104,000 were foreign troops interned according to the Rights and Duties of Neutral Powers outlined in the Hague Conventions. The rest were foreign civilians and were either interned or granted tolerance or residence permits by the cantonal authorities. Refugees were not allowed to hold jobs. Of the refugees, 60,000 were civilians escaping persecution by the Nazis. Of these 60,000, 27,000 were Jews.[33] Between 10,000 and 24,000 Jewish civilian refugees were refused entry" Europe's relatively humanitarian laws about refugees are based in the knowledge of how many countries barred entry to Jews who were subsequently exterminated in the gas chambers.

The pan-Islamic world is often nationalist before it is Islamic, or even tribal/racist at a level below the nation. It's also non-free countries. The Saudi royal family will go so far as to murder journalists in other countries to preserve their power. Letting a couple of million syrians die is nothing to them, and they're happily smashing up Yemen at the moment.

  If we go to the extent of accepting refugees from their neighbors, may be we should also look at sanctioning these evil nations to the point where they feel the same pain as the nations under crisis. Fuck Saudi Arabia.
