There is really nothing new, except maybe the number, in this piece about how the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is begging the West to get the Middle Easterners out of the Middle East.

Note that they mention Western countries which “have the means,” can afford an influx of poverty, but no mention of the RICH Islamic countries, most notably Saudi Arabia which has the money and the land to accommodate a couple hundred thousand or so of their fellow Muslims.
See first Daniel Pipes’ brilliant idea of keeping Muslims in their own cultural zones, here!
From World Bulletin:
The U.N. refugee agency on Friday appealed to European and other states to grant asylum to more Syrians as increasing numbers flee their country in perilous journeys across the Mediterranean.
Naturally there is crisis-mongering about how people are dying trying to get across the Mediterranean from Libya, but not one word to suggest that the West clamp down on the now lawless Libya which allows the boats to launch from its shores. How about stationing some warships along the coast of Africa and sending some of the boat people back, or load them up and take them to the EMPTY UN state-of-the-art refugee camp Al-Azraq! The flow will quickly subside!
The U.N. agency has proposed that Western countries admit up to 30,000 Syrian refugees on resettlement, humanitarian admission, or other admission programmes by the end of 2014.
So far this year, 16 Western countries have pledged to resettle 10,240 Syrian refugees, including 500 announced by France this week, the UNHCR says. Germany accounts for 5,000.
“UNHCR is calling on countries that have the means to do so, in Europe or beyond, to offer solidarity through not only financing and other contributions, but through measures that would mean third-country resettlement and family reunifications,” Fleming said.
This civil war will end sooner or later, so why is it imperative to permanently move the ‘migrants’ to a third country, unless of course this is really about UN-facilitated Al Hijra!
US readers should make it clear to your elected officials in Washington that we can’t afford more imported poverty!
