We see in the whole European world ppl gathering in supporting the refugees biking to Calais from London with tents food and medicines in Stockholm where I lived for almost my whole adult life thousands of families are offering to open their houses to refugees. And I am talking about a country with a xenophobe party with almost one million voters. Alan and the Americans in this list what are the US doing? I don't mean the government but the ppl where are the rallies to help the refugees from the Middle East, a region in turmoil since the wars started by the US and their geopolitical strategies? The refugees can't be an European problem. Ana El sep 4, 2015 2:39 PM, "Alan Sondheim" <[email protected]> escribió:
