I understand why after hearing such things you can believe Syrians aren't good people. However, I don't think it's right to believe most Syrians are bad, because of what other Muslims or Syrians have done. Those two attacks were somehow linked to ISIS, and ISIS does no represent every single middle eastern person. We both have a different opinion on this though, but thanks for your
Jews and Syrian refugees have been through many stages of prejudice and hardships through their lives, but they’ve also received hospitality from others that want to reach out a helping hand. Both articles demonstrate critical ways they're in similar, but also contrasting situations. The striking similarities that both share are how they fled their country to find a new home, looking out for people to help and understand them along with gaining their trust, and getting dragged into ghastly camps just for inspection. Even with similarities comes with distinctive parts for example, what event cause them to leave their homes and what tragic affairs they went through. Going through disastrous times, these people deserve to receive a welcoming invitation and a heart-warming greeting from everyone that can assist these people in every way they can.
“To compound the horror, the Syrian government targets and kills its own citizens based on their ethnic, religious or political background.”
Socially, Global Warming is forcing people to relocate into countries that don’t have as much global warming occurring such as Canada. This means soon, when global warming becomes a much bigger threat as time goes on, our population will have a spike due to many people from other countries coming into Canada. Although it doesn’t sound as bad to have a bigger population, the problem is that Canada isn’t ready for it. This is because our government has already spent hundreds of millions of dollars on the Syrian refugees that have already arrived. If there were to be more people coming, many of the people in Canada would lose out on many resources, however if they were to deny them it would cause Canada to have a bad reputation and it
The civil war in Syria is among the most recent civil wars. The war started on the 15th of March 2011.The wars led to one of the largest exoduses in recent history where millions o Syrians led their country to seek asylum in countries in their neighborhood and beyond. There was an ever-worsening humanitarian crisis that led to the civil war. The refugees resettled in various places including the United States of America, Lebanon among other destinations. The war broke out when the government wanted to intimidate numerous demonstrators of a famous group “Arab Spring”. This suppression of the demonstrators resulted in a nationwide rebellion leading to the devastation of places such as Aleppo with the
It has been five years since the Syrian Civil war started. Nothing has changed, Bashar Al Assad still in the presidency, innocent people are dying progressively in an enormous numbers and the world community is becoming blind, pretending it does not know what is happening in the country and still promote for a peaceful solution. Many Syrian people decided to live by leaving the country. They have been migrated to neighboring countries, in addition, the European countries. They became unwanted emigrants, and they have been rejected by the seas and the world. There is a huge misunderstanding which surrounding the Syrian civil war which has to be clarify. I will go through this research point by point in order to
The civil war going on in Syria has been a topic of much discussion. What began as peaceful protests has turned into brutal civil war with over 100,000 deaths and counting. The images of men, women, and children being gassed or shot to death are just horrible to watch and hard to bear. With all these casualties and the U.S government expects to make a series of targeted military strikes against the Syrian government?
The conflicts, especially political conflicts, were not formed overnight. They have been accumulating for at least four years. The Syrian Civil War that displaced millions of refugees officially began on March 15th, 2011 when protesters stormed the capital of Damascus demanding democratic reforms and the release of political prisoners from the Assad regime. (Kareem Fahim) Unfortunately, these campaigns were met with gunfire, as only a month later the Syrian army engaged in a series of military attacks on its own people—leading to the death of over 1,000 civilians.
After the events of World War 1, the country of France attained control over the northern portion of the former Ottoman Empire province of Syria. The area labeled Syria was managed by the French until granting it independence in the year 1946. Due to Syria being mostly desert it has hot, dry, sunny summers between the months of June and August while along its coast having mild, rainy winters between December and February. Syria has a land area of 183,630 square kilometers (sq km) and a water area of 1,550 sq km (1,295 sq km of this area is Israeli-occupied territory), this results in Syria having a total area of 185,180. There are five countries that borders the area around Syria, these countries the area size of their boundaries is “Iraq
The nation of Syria is a predominantly Arab country in Western Asia. Its border countries include Turkey, Iraq, Palestine and Jordan. The Middle Eastern region since the early 90’s has been a volatile area waiting to erupt in violence and protests. Iraq had the dictator Saddam Hussein and was on the brink of being invaded in the Gulf War and was invaded in early 2000 after the 9/11 attacks. In recent history, Syria has been involved in multiple situations in the region militarily. The purpose of this paper is to outline the key actors in the onslaught of the Syrian Civil War and how the conflict in the region will only further destabilize the Middle East.
Hundreds of thousands of immigrants travel across the Mediterranean Sea into Europe to seek refuge where it is not provided in the countries of Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Sudan as those areas are currently war-torn and the people face violence and persecution. The migrants risk their lives to get to their destinations - many attempting to reach Germany and other northern EU countries - and have to do it illegally most of the time. The Syrian conflict still continues to be the main contributor in the number of migrants coming into Europe as more than 1,011,700 people migrated by sea, 34,900 by land, and 10-12 million remain within Syria’s borders.1 Poverty, abusing human rights, and deteriorating security are also prompting people to escape the areas of conflict.5 Their journey can be highly hazardous and risky as boats are small and overcrowded and there are more exposures to diseases and starvation. Also, countries risk the chance of the act of smuggling, their people of the arriving refugees to be robbed, and the act of trafficking happening in their country. According to IOM, over 3,770 migrants have died trying to reach their destinations. Some countries are skeptical of taking in refugees as it can be a possibility that terrorists pose as refugees as they come into a country. With the flow of refugees arriving, concerns have increased that jihadist fighters could be sneaking in under the disguise of asylum seekers.4 Even prepared countries have almost reached their
At the time of writing, the Syrian conflict has raged on for nearly half a decade, while that in Darfur for well over a decade. In both instances, some of the international community’s most experienced mediators attempted to halt the fighting. None, however, were able to bring more than a few days of respite to these violent conflicts.
Modern Syria first gained its independence in 1946, following many years of violent strife. Before this, the state had been under a French Mandate and had suffered under a conditional (or more aptly, false) independence, wherein the French State held veto power over any potential laws introduced by the Syrian people (US Dept. of State). In 1970, the Baath party came into political power in Syria in yet another bloody coup-d’état, with Minister of Defense, Hafiz al-Assad, taking up the mantle of President (US Dept. of State). He would remain in power up until his death in the year 2000. This would
Are they good for our economy? Are they going to harm the people of our nation ? Do we have enough resources to support their needs? Taking in refugees is a big problem that many countries face. In America these refugees are the Syrian refugees, trying to the escape the triumph of the Syrian war. The Syrian war is a civil war between the Republic and the Independence. This war is causing thousands of Syrian civilians to lose the homes and to be in constant danger of war. Under the Obama administration, the U.S. was expected to take in thousands of refugees from the Syrian war. But ever since President Trump was elected, all of this has come to a halt and no Syrian refugees are being let into America. Syrian refugees should be let into the United States of America because refugees will not have an impact on our national security, and the refugees could ultimately help the economy, and America messed up once and should not do it again.
A refugee is someone who has been forced out of their own country due to reasons such as political, economic or even threats of wars. Since the beginning of 2015, a large number of people from Middle Eastern and African countries are fleeing war, persecution, and poverty and have been crossing borders into and within Europe. The Syrian refugee migration problem is one of Europe’s major crisis of the decade. In an article by “Europe’s Commision”, we see that “More than 1 million refugees and migrants have arrived in the European Union” in which a large amount of these refugees are fleeing from the civil war in Syria. Europe is in the middle of a huge debate between the ethical concerns regarding whether or not to grant Syrian refugees into Europe. The global catastrophe has clear ethical considerations; however, these refugees should not be denied into all of Europe because they are trying to escape from war and terror in their own country.
Since the end of WWII, the United States has been a large contributor of foreign assistance, supplying countries such as Syria, Iraq, Egypt, and other strategic partners of the US with food, weapons, and other war-based necessities. Although this has predominantly been the form of foreign support, the modern-day dilemma of refugees has given way to a newly relevant form of international intervention. The world is currently facing the highest displacement levels ever recorded--according to studies done by the United Nations High Commission on Refugees, “an unprecedented 65.6 million people around the world have been forced from home by conflict and persecution... [including] 22.5 million refugees, over half of whom are under the age of 18.” (UNHCR). After further elaboration of those appalling numbers, the United Nations reports that out of 22 million Syrian citizens, 13.5 million require some form of humanitarian service and 5 million have been externally displaced as a result of the Syrian civil conflict. Regardless of the ample amount of dollars spent on supporting other states, the United States simply doesn’t allow enough of those needful foreigners. The Donald Trump Administration needs to support the reinstatement of refugees into the international culture by admitting 500,000 Syrian refugees and expanding the Office of Refugee Resettlement budget by $500 million by the end of President Trump’s 4-year term. As a world superpower, the United States is under the
