Obviously not everyone is doing their fair share. The wealthier gulf states have taken in no refugees since the Syrian conflict began. Those states closest to Syria have taken in millions of people. Many of these refugees have lived in tent cities and have been dependent of the host country as well as international relief efforts.
At some point, the “six Gulf countries — Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain must step up to the plate and offer assistance, relief and shelter to those who have been impacted by civil war and by the Islamic State thugs.
Hopefully, President Obama will speak very directly the Saudi King on this issue. I would be taking him to McDonalds if I were Obama.
The United States has taken in 1500 Syrian refugees since their civil war began. We could do far better!
