USING THE DEAD TO SHAME/M.E. MIGRATION (GRAPHIC PIX)

[HairOfTheDog]

Let the UAE or Saudi take care of their own, no reason for the rest of the world to have to deal with their trash

Like Donovan, I certainly don't view families fleeing a war-torn country where their survival is in constant jeopardy as "trash".

While Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon have taken in hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees for years now, I agree with you that some of the Gulf States ought to be ashamed; they have as much or more obligation to help refugee Syrians as European and other Western countries.

Yeah, I'm looking at you Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE. You too, Iran -- you support Assad fully, so help take care of the endangered citizens fleeing the country he still rules. These countries have very restrictive immigration policies which are based almost exclusively on employment need (much like what some loud voices in America and Europe are pushing for in terms of immigration policy).

Anyway, in my opinion, all of the Gulf States should look beyond money (and religious affiliations) and step up to the humanitarian plate in this case.
