Israel. But they're happily drilling for oil in the illegally occupied Golan while the syrian government is busy.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15473265775588031435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-39664895054078691882015-09-14T17:56:53.137-07:002015-09-14T17:56:53.137-07:00Thanks for the link, Toby.

As the article you linked notes, given how these Sunni princes, sheiks and emirs have funneled cash to the Islamist radicals sparking this exodus it's damned hypocritical for the Saudis to do nothing when help is so badly needed.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-27914156628473350822015-09-14T15:31:09.704-07:002015-09-14T15:31:09.704-07:00Saudi Arabia Takes Zero Refugees Despite Having 10...<b>Saudi Arabia Takes Zero Refugees Despite Having 100,000 Tents Able To House 3 Million People</b><br /><br />[url]http://www.globalresearch.ca/saudi-arabia-takes-zero-refugees-despite-having-100000-tents-able-to-house-3-million-people/5475650[/url]Tobynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-15754300078556491582015-09-14T14:57:17.675-07:002015-09-14T14:57:17.675-07:00The Saudis claim to have taken tens of thousands o...The Saudis claim to have taken tens of thousands of Syrian refugees and given them residency status. We have to way to check this (and the Saudi government is not a very reliable source about almost anything). Credible sources do make it clear that they have given more money to refugee aid than almost anyone. The question remains - why have the gulf states refused to sign the UN convention on refugees?

We might have considered bombing ever palace the length of the Persian Gulf if we wanted to thwart ISIS.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-15852787654087409132015-09-14T12:27:22.668-07:002015-09-14T12:27:22.668-07:00Anyong said: Just shows the world what they are m...Anyong said: Just shows the world what they are made from.
