Finally, a rich Arab has come forward with a major offer of help to Middle Eastern refugees.Because, they are poor. This strengthen my argument that, if Israel were to disappear overnight, the problems in the Middle East would still exist.
.....................
The reaction on social media to Sawiris’s generous offer has been largely positive. After all, who would criticize a successful world citizen for a willingness to do what most governments are reluctant to do to address the current crisis?
But few in the media or diplomatic circles have asked the more important question: Where have the rich Arab countries been over the last few years, as the Syrian civil war has raged and millions of refugees have fled to neighboring countries? The only Arab countries to have accepted Syrian refugees are Jordan and Lebanon, two weak economies with very limited means. To be sure, rich Arab countries have sent some aid to refugees in Turkey, Jordan, and Lebanon, but no major plan has even been offered that would appear to be aimed at making a serious difference.
It's roughly the India equivalent to the untouchables. No Arab Country wants these refugees.
