Syrian civil war (15 Viewers)

[Eddy]

So, why are you commenting here, my love?

Because you quote obvious bias sources and then ask if I believe the U.N is involved in a conspiracy ? You're Palestinian, you should know, no ? The media sure fucked everyone's head in this conflict, no wonder ISIS sprung up.

World is in a sad state. Between Syria and Germany in every country there seems to be war. Clearly refugees can't stay in the war tormented areas

Germany, Austria and Sweden have done more for Syrians than all arab countries combined. Its a shame that arab countries that are better off cannot make way for Syrian refugees. Very sad state of affairs.

Those who were requesting asylum in Austria were taken away by the police for processing+ Mr. Hahslinger said, but the majority of the new arrivals wanted to press on, to Germany

The Viennese who assembled to greet the newcomers brought shopping carts and boxes full of bottled water, bread, diapers, cookies, fruit and candy.

“They have been traveling so long and must be very hungry and they have been treated so shabbily,” said Marlene Pramhas, a social worker. She and two friends brought as many loaves of bread as they could carry to the train station, where “it is more or less chaos,” she said.

“We felt we had to do something,” Ms. Pramhas said. “It’s a small thing but maybe it will help.”

I meant this primarily.

That needs to be in a spoiler or not posted at all. Horrifying picture.

Why does it need to be in a spoiler? Everyone has seen the picture already. I'm glad people get to see it. Because we already know people are dying and we are still not allowing them in our countries. Maybe something changes when we actually see them dying.

I would ban these pictures from facebook all together. I work in telemarketing for an NGO and the only thing pictures like these do is desensitize people, they get fed up and feel its impossible to do anything. So they become apathetic.

Even the director of Danish Red Cross asked people not to post them online.

But they're on the news too. You can't really escape them. For me personally it changes very little. I think the same way about this crisis after seeing the pictures.

That's you personally. I'm just stating what effect it has on the ability of NGO's to act in this crisis.

But clearly what you're describing is not happening. At least not in Belgium. I'd say it has the opposite effect. Over here we have volunteers who hop on the train and go to Brussels and try to help out. I have never seen such willingness to help before.

What I described will ring true, whether or not your personal experience or view on it differs is besides the point - it is a proven pattern.
I'm glad that people are volunteering to help, we could use more of that in Denmark.
