In reply to the discussion: Syrian Refugees- 2 Million Already Into Jordan, Turkey, Lebanon. [View all]The Straight Story
(48,121 posts)2. There are quite a few in Iraq as well (over 50,000 in one region)
http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2013/09/01/321553/more-syrian-refugees-arrive-in-iraqs-kurdistan/
And:
More than 2.5 million Syrians have fled their homes since the outbreak of civil war in March 2011, taking refuge in neighbouring countries or within Syria itself. According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), over 600,000 have fled to immediate neighbours Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq. Yet the real number of Syrians refugees in these countries is much higher perhaps double UNHCR statistics, which only record those officially registered as refugees.
This website offers a snapshot of the repercussions of this refugee crisis for both Syrias neighbours and the European Union. It is a project of the Migration Policy Centre at the European University Institute, based on a series of studies conducted by local researchers on behalf of the MPC at the end of 2012. This website is the result of close collaboration between a team of journalists and these local researchers, under the auspices of the MPC, to paint a broad picture of the worst refugee crisis to affect the region in years.

Seems to be a lot of people who don't really care about those who are suffering. Terribly sad.

Why do you have a problem with being honest it isn't about the refugees?

Also, I have to thank you for pointing out the victimization of Israel by doing close to nothing

I agree with you. And think the refugee situation could actually yield some good karma if we address
