Washington Post: The Arab world’s wealthiest nations are doing next to nothing for Syria’s refugees

Why should they when European liberals want to hog all the credit.

The world has been transfixed in recent weeks by the unfolding refugee crisis in Europe, an influx of migrants unprecedented since World War II. Their plight was chillingly highlighted on Wednesday in the image of a drowned Syrian toddler, his lifeless body lying alone on a Turkish beach.

A fair amount of attention has fallen on the failure of many Western governments to adequately address the burden on Syria's neighboring countries, which are struggling to host the brunt of the roughly 4 million Syrians forced out of the country by its civil war.

Some European countries have been criticized for offering sanctuary only to a small number of refugees, or for discriminating between Muslims and Christians. There's also been a good deal of continental hand-wringing over the general dysfunction of Europe's systems for migration and asylum.

The fact that some of those very same Arab nations contributed to the unrest in Syria and the growing refugee problem is something that is being overlooked.

Europe needs to start sending some of the refugees to Saudi Arabia and the other Arab states mentioned in the article. That would be equitable.
