If Europe was war torn - would Middle Eastern nations take them in as refugees?

[MuscleXtreme]

The answer is no, middle eastern nations would not accept Europeans as refugees. So why does Europe feel it necessary to take in all of these refugees, who do not culturally align at all, when the favor would never ever be returned. Foolish Euros.

Or maybe you could open a history book and realize that we already did take in many refugees the last time Europe was embroiled in war

For the uneducated:

At the height of World War II, the Middle East Relief and Refugee Administration (MERRA) operated camps in Syria, Egypt and Palestine where tens of thousands of people from across Europe sought refuge.

MERRA was part of a growing network of refugee camps around the world that were operated in a collaborative effort by national governments, military officials and domestic and international aid organizations. Social welfare groups including the International Migration Service, the Red Cross, the Near East Foundation and the Save the Children Fund all pitched in to help MERRA and, later, the United Nations to run the camps.

And of course let's not forget the Armenians who fled Ottoman persecution. Where do you think they fled to, OP? They fled to Lebanon, where they still live today. We have hundreds of thousands of people of Armenian descent in Lebanon

Don't bring in facts

This is what the misc is best at. Ask a hypothetical question. Make up an answer. Then get pissed off based on the made up answer to the made up question you asked.

I have no doubt that OP will not concede, and instead move the goalposts in some weird irrelevant way. "but what was the average height of those refugees?"

Let's reverse the situation hypothetically; if 21st century Europe was a continent filled with totalitarian despots killing their own people and Christian extremism/radical terrorist groups then would the countries in the Middle East accept millions of European refugees (who are primarily of Christian faith) into countries where Islam is the dominant religion?

Why do you need a hypothetical scenario when the same exact scenario unfolded not long ago during WW2?

[SmillironS]

I was unaware of Syria, Egypt, and Palestine taking in refugees during WW2 so I did some quick research on it. It appears the refugees were sent there whether the countries wanted them or not and try as I might I can't find anything about those refugees refusing to assimilate and committing crimes on a record scale... that could just be a white washed version though eh? Yeah bro, totally the same scenario.

You are right, Europe should not bear the burden of America's fuk ups. All refugees should be sent to the U.S.

Read the actual article that you are replying to, the people fleeing from Europe in WWII were required to register and carry an ID card at all times, were housed in camps, had limited movements and given half a standard army ration. There is a huge difference between that and what the economic migrants are demanding of Europe.

And Saudi Arabia today has refused to take in any of these economic migrants due to security concerns but you think they should be allowed into Europe with no restrictions??

Yeah I mean its almost like the scale of WW2 and the economic ramifications of it did not equal that of the Syrian Civil War.

The "Saudi hasn't taken any refugees" argument has been debunked ad nauseam.

The UNHCR counts refugees by noting only those “persons recognized as refugees under the 1951 UN Convention/1967 Protocol, the 1969 OAU Convention, in accordance with the UNHCR Statute, persons granted a complementary form of protection and those granted temporary protection.“ Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, and the UAE are not parties to any of the UN protocols on refugees, and so through this technicality, they, along with most of their refugees, are excluded from many refugee counting mechanisms.

I know you're not going to want to hear it, and that facts might be very triggering to many people in the RP, but Saudi has taken in millions of refugees and given them working permits.

During WWII, France and Britain owned much of Palestine and the Levant as mandates. France administered Lebanon and Syria until 1946. Britain administered Jordan and Palestine/Israel until 1948.

[Arashi]

Fact of the matter is the Ottoman empire was already in the Anglo Zionists hands prior to ww1 so it controlled so called Arab states. Secondly both sides of the great world wars were funded by the same elite and bringing Europeans to the middle east was an introduction for establishing the state of isreal as the capital of a one world government.

That is correct, but it is the locals who welcomed the refugees. There is plenty of material on the matter if you're interested in learning. I doubt you're interested in that though, as you'll probably stop once you find a one-liner or anecdote that supports the narrative of your choice.

Why not respond to the first part?

[Tha big kahoona]

Missed responding to that part because i was sourcing the article etc..

The IDs were not created by the locals, but by the European overlords. The army ration business is a bit dubious because the conditions differed based on location and hence supplies. It was a time of war after all, and overall welfare, even to the local pop was limited

I don't believe that the Arab countries of Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria would decline European refugees. They may not be in the position to optimally take care of them but they wouldn't advocate to harm them. However if the European refugees decide to settle, have several children, never bother to learn Arabic, and leech off of the state as well as undermine and disregard local values, openly criticize halal and general Arabic customs then that would cause a problem with locals. Besides, the Middle East of 70 years ago is as much different as the Europe or United States of 70 years ago.

Yeah, i'm gonna have to say no. Currently, that may be the case due to there literally not being any more space in some of the countries you mentioned, but overall, no, you're mistaken

The UAE is 90% expats. There are hundreds of thousands of Brits and others here. There are just as many living and working in Saudi. I have yet to meet a single European or American who has learned Arabic in their stay here. Many of them have been here for 30+ years as well. It doesn't bother anyone. That's a strictly American/European pet peeve. Many of them are openly critical as well. I can share FB screenshots, and that's fine as long as it's done with a modicum of respect (which it sometimes isn't)

You're speaking of things you know nothing about...
