the ants and the safe place

Have you ever stepped on ant’s nest  when you’re walking ? When you stepped on it, the nest crumble and destroyed, and all the animals inside are running away from their nest, trying to save themselves. No matter how organized or how structured their life was, when something destroy their home, they run. Now those syirian refugees are just like that. Their home was destroyed, and everything that was familiar to them was gone.

Home is a place where you can feel safe, a place where you can feel loved. It’s a place to go and rest your world.

Those  Syrian refugees, they do not leave their home voluntarily, they leave because they’ve lost everything. We need to understand that no one leaves their home unless home is the mouth of a shark. You only run for the borders when you see the whole city running as well.

I believe, that European country should accept all syirian refugees and asylum seekers that come to seek aid or protection.

The vast majority of the terrified, friendless, and profoundly vulnerable refugees scattered around Europe today, came from syiria. And as that conflict enters its sixth barbaric year, desperate syirian families are being forced to make an impossible decision. To stay and face starvation, rape, persecution, and death, or make hazardous journey to find sanctuary elsewhere.

I mean who can blame desperate parents for wanting to escape the horror that their families are experiencing? Children are being killed on their way to school. Children as young as 7 years old are being forcefully recruited to the frontline, and one in three children have grown up knowing nothing but fear and war. Those children have been exposed to things no child should ever witness. And i know, i would risk everything to get my family out of that place.

This has become a humanitarian crisis on a scale we have not seen since the second world war. Yet everyone seems paralysed to respond. Stuck talking only about “migrants” when we should mean fathers, son, sisters,brothers, daughters, and mothers. Stuck treating migrant and asylum as the same thing, when they are completely different, and we should keep them so.

The word migrant describes a person who leaves home to seek a new life in another regions or country. It includes those who take a job in another country or region to seek finance stability. But the word refugees describes someone fleeing war, persecution, or natural disaster. Under international law, no one can be sent to a place where they face a real risk of being persecuted. Those claiming this status can ask for asylum.

The European union has spent years building the common European asylum system, which is intended to ensure that the rights of refugees under international law are protected in its member states. The system sets out minimum standards and procedures for processing and assessing asylum applications, and for the treatment of both asylum seekers and those who are granted refugee status.

However, many EU states have yet to properly implement these standards. What exists instead is a patchwork of 28 asylum systems, producing uneven results

Today, I have several reasons, why I believe european country should accept with open arms those syirian refugees and asylum seekers that come to seek aid or protection.

First of all, European people needs to understand that these people doesn’t come to Europe for money, or jobs. They come to Europe because there’s  a war.

Over the past months, politicians, journalists, and ordinary people across Europe have passionately debated what is called the refugee crisis in Europe. Some have used expressions such as “flood”, “invasion”, or “ swarms of people” to describe the hundreds of thousands who are determined to reach Europe in search of security and safety.

According to the UN, a third of a million people have tried to cross Mediterranean in the last eight months. With that number, many European worry about the integration of these new population. They raise concerns that these asylum seekers would require extensive state support in a time of continued economic insecurity in Europe. Some Europeans also fear that they would threaten the cultural make up due to the alleged incompability of the Islamic faith of the majority of the new arrivals.

I want to be clear that I understand that European people have fears about the refugee situation. They are worried about the impact on their communities, livelihoods, and security if they accept refugees into their countries. It is not wrong to feel unsettled face by crisis of such complexity and such magnitude. But we must not let fears get the best of us. We must not let fear stand in the way of an effective response that is in our long term interests.

Second of all, those Syrian refugees may not be European, and may not have the same beliefs as most European, but these people are also educated, they have dreams, they have history, they have lives, and they deserve a chance to live in peace like everyone else. If we allow our identification with each other to be obsecured by our identities, then we are lost.

The United Nation High Commisioner for Refugees or UNHR have stated in the UNHCR Policy on Refugee Protection and Solutions in Urban Areas, chapter 2 points 16 and 17, that Protection must be provided to refugees in a complementary and mutually supportive manner, irrespective of where they are located. Thus in addition to addressing the needs of those refugees who live in cities and towns, UNHCR considers it essential for host states and the international community to continue with their efforts to ensure that other refugees, including those in camps, are able to exercise all the rights to which they are entitled and are able to live in acceptable conditions. These rights include, but are not limited to, the right to life; the right not to be subjected to cruel or degrading treatment or punishment; the right not to be tortured or arbitrarily detained; the right to family unity; the right to adequate food, shelter, health and education, as well as livelihoods opportunities.

To me, refugees are heroes, I say heroes, not victims, because they have taken their fate into their hands in full view of great risks. What is remarkable about these people is how intact they are, how unwilling to surrender they are. And I ask myself, what have we come to when such survivors are made to feel like beggars?

In my beliefs it comes down to understanding the law, and choosing not to be afraid. For the sake of the people of syiria, and for all the refugees around the world.

Because remember  , no  one puts their children in a boat, unless the water is safer than the land.

ps : this is my own essay for my english project at school. this topic is very close to my heart and I feel more people should know about this issue, so I just decided to share it. :)

What Zionist Plan

There is a possible and major psyop unfolding on two fronts—one related to Yemen and the other to Syria. On the Yemeni front, a deliberate campaign is being pushed to claim that Iran has abandoned the Yemeni resistance. They’re trying to undermine all of Yemen’s military capabilities and distort reality. But the core issue is that they have failed to calculate or even list what they have…

Another perspective of the Zionist attack on Syria

After the fall of Bashar, the first thing that Israel Zionist targeted was Syrian army weapon caches to which pro-HTS voices were cheering as a victory for their cause. The reality of those attacks was to ensure that if the new regime ever wakes up to the reality of Zionist Occupation, they wouldn’t have the means to combat any of the aggressions. This is what Israel Zionist, US, and domestic…
