The Guardian reported, “The nationalities of the several hundred people assumed to have drowned in the latest, terrible migrant boat tragedy in the Mediterranean help explain why they attempted so perilous a journey. Pakistanis, Egyptians, Syrians, Afghans and Palestinians reportedly comprised most of the approximately 750 passengers crammed on to the unseaworthy vessel that set off from Tobruk in Libya and sank 50 miles off the coast of Greece last Wednesday.
“The list of countries of origin is an index of pain, for which the EU, Britain and their allies bear much responsibility. The West’s failure to stop the Syrian regime’s war on its people led to the 2015-16 migrant crisis, when hundreds of thousands of Syrians sought safety in Europe. Although fighting has subsided, many, including Palestinians living in desperate conditions in camps in the war-torn country, still flee persecution by a vengeful regime, or are quitting an increasingly unaccommodating Turkey.”
So the anti-Western forces in the West want an apology.
Be careful of that which you wish.

“The West’s failure to stop the Syrian regime’s war on its people led to the 2015-16 migrant crisis”
Just like Ukraine, this propaganda NEVER ENDS. In the case of Syria, this is HILLARY’S WAR, that simple, and no one denies it. Her actions have resulted in the deaths of 500,000 or so people there, and the dislocation of some 10 million (although her bunch is trying to top those numbers in Ukraine now).
“The West’s failure to stop the Syrian regime’s war on its people led to the 2015-16 migrant crisis, when hundreds of thousands of Syrians sought safety in Europe”.
A conventional understanding of history would say there is no such thing as a “regime’s war on its people”.
And even if there were, Syria is thousands of years old and “The West” has no business, at least no kinetic business, in how Syria is governed,
Good use of sarcasm and mockery.
