Does anyone find the Muslim armies who are on attack in Darfur (causing the refugee crisis) hypocritical and/or racist?

So here's my first attempt at escaping the box: Isn't it weird that we spend 99% of Bush commentary on his idiocy, while it states in the Darfur article-

'Refugees from Darfur are escaping what President Bush and others have called genocide by government-allied Arab militias against ethnic African villagers.'

Let's give GW his due salute. Hooray for US foreign policy.

Oh, and a bag of Wonka Oompas. I'd like one of those. (Where the fuck did the Oompas go?!

This reminded me of the British Navy turning away the “Exodus 1947” from Haifa’s port, sending its passengers back to Europe on other ships in an effort to quell the rising tensions. On board were 4,500 Jewish refugees from Germany. The French press called the returning ships a “floating Auschwitz.”

Apparently the U.S. isn't the only country to forget its past.

Keshmechi, you are reacting instead of thinking about the problem at hand. As it is now, the refugees will be heading back to their home and probably be killed.

Now, ask that country, "Hey, take in economic refugees from outside Darfur, you know, citizens of an enemy state that has vowed to destroy you." Most Israelis are willing to do this, but I sure as hell can understand why the government wouldn't want to.

Of course, Israel is held to a far higher standard than anyone else. After all, preceding this, there were no headlines like, "Egypt Fails in Sudan Refugee Obligations," or, "Arab States Fail to Provide for Darfur Refugees."

And of course, Israel's past absorption of refugees no one wanted will be ignored. You know why there's decent Chinese food in Israel? Because Israel accepted boat people after the Vietnam War when they were turned away by other countries. There are refugees from Liberia, Eritrea, Ethiopia, and every other war torn country in Africa residing in Israel, and the UNHCR records that Israel accepts tens of thousands of humanitarian refugees annually (most of whom eventually go home, as is always the hope with refugees, especially given the population pressures mentioned above). Deportation is a deeply unpopular among the Israeli public, and all this extra attention will likely result in a reversal.

And in the meantime, the government actually responsible for all this misery will keep getting rich in Khartoum.

There's also no headline saying "Libya refuses refugees" or "Saudi Arabia refuses refugees" or"Jordan refuses refugess" or "Arab League presses Sudan to Stop Genocide."

But by some poster's logic, those nations are not "nations of refugees" so that's okay. Only Israel should be called out. Everyone else is off the hook.

just sayin'...
