There are a lot of news articles being posted that show the ingratitude of Syrian refugees, and I have to consider if they are factual or propaganda- or maybe the truth lies somewhere in the middle?
Here is the latest article circulating:
Syrian Refugees Say They Will Go Back If We Don’t Meet THESE Demands
Numerous European governments have taken it upon themselves to provide aid to Syrian refugees. Evacuees are being provided with food, shelter and clothing. Despite the support they have received, these same refugees have publicly stated that they are less than impressed with their present lodgings. There was a recent television piece in the Netherlands concerning a new group of Syrian evacuees. During the segment, the refugees were approached by a Dutch reporter after discovering that they were sleeping outdoors. The refugees had decided to sleep outside in order to protest their current living conditions.
One of the refugees, an English-speaking Syrian woman, stated “this is not a life when you get inside to a room without a TV. Just a bed, there is no fridge, no lockers, no privacy.” The clothing worn by the speaker was better quality than would be expected for a refugee, and her hair had been dyed red. The woman did not stop there. She went on to say “we’re going to stay outside because we don’t want to eat this food, and we don’t want to stay in the room. We’re running away from our country because of the situation, and now we live in a jail.” The evident dissatisfaction with the afforded provisions comes as something of a shock considering that they are being provided at the expense of taxpayers. The reporter followed up with the woman the next morning. In addition to her unwavering complaints about living conditions, she also criticized the allowance the refugees were receiving from the government of the Netherlands.
The reporter sat, amazed, as she went on to explain that she thought they would be better off back in their occupied homeland. She complained that “here, it is not a life. There, we know there is a war, but here there is no life. You are sitting here in jail. It’s the same situation, but in Syria you can live for real. They are giving us just 10 to 12 Euro (a week). It’s not real.” There have been reports that numerous refugees have taken issue with the arrival of additional evacuees. Some migrants have stated that the various European governments offering aid are incapable of caring for all of the refugees. Most would assume that for those fleeing a country ravaged by war, the offer of shelter and safety would be more than enough.link
If we're not being duped by the media to believe a lie, then this behavior is inexcusable. If this is true, I just don't know what to say.
I have noticed the dispraportionate amount of young men to women and children. I have also noticed the latest model cell phones, fancy watches, expesive-looking clothes and shoes.
If I were fleeing from a war-torn country in fear for my life, I'd be grateful for an Army tent and daily rations of outmeal. Things just aren't adding up.
