West Asia regimes that bring about large refugee problems are
not only of Asad and IS. The Israeli regime is far worse. According to the UN, Israel
created a plight for the Palestinians that has become the most
protracted and largest of all refugee problems in the world.

Why
did the Palestinians not migrate in large numbers to Europe but remained in refugee
camps ‘in the area’, in Lebanon, Jordan. Syria, Gaza, Israel, Westbank and Egypt,
in due course turning fragile tents into stone houses?
In
contrast, present-day Syrians do leave their refugee camps, albeit in
relatively small proportions, and move to Europe. Perhaps the social media, higher incomes and more open
borders make travel to Europe seen as an option.
