Reader’s Comment of the Day: Why are so many of the Syrian refugees well-fed young men?

September 10, 2015

In response to Jane Kelly: The Anglican Church sides with the Left in the migrant crisis, Big Hetts wrote:

Even our local vicar succumbed to the media manipulation of the emotive photography. If it’s true that their father wasn’t even with them but played with his wife and children’s lives on the basis that they were more likely to be taken in as refugees so that they could get EU citizenship and he could join them to get the dental treatments free that he could not afford in Turkey, what does that say about him?

No one has a problem helping or supporting the truly destitute, but this is becoming sick as we watch thousands of young Syrian men, well fed and well clothed with smart phones abandon their true families to gain EU-funded financial and lifestyle benefits and leave their so-called loved ones for ISIS to deal with. That’s assuming they really are from Syria. Why aren’t they fighting for their country?
