      The way in which many Turks (from all political persuasions) are almost gleefully turning on Syrian refugees is deeply disappointing. Not least because in today’s world, there is no guarantee, anywhere, that it won’t happen to you in your lifetime.pic.twitter.com/lpGanb2nw4

      I know from previous posts about this that I am going to get a lot of pushback from followers. I don’t care. Putting a sign into a shop window saying Syrians can pay five times what others pay is absolutely analogous to stains on human history like “no Jews/Irish or dogs”.

      The predicted social lynching has happened so: 1) No, this isn’t widespread practice but this photo went viral and was widely commended 2) But broad anger at Syrians is undeniably growing across the political spectrum 3) And I agree initial refugee policy was faulty but...

      Now that millions of Syrians live in Turkey, we do need a peaceful and humanist approach to integration. And it really doesn’t help your case that we are bringers of peace and kindness if you attack people with whom you disagree with ferociousness and vituperation.

          Why does there need to be integration? And they are ‘Syrian refugees’ not just Syrians who happen to live in Turkey. Surely they need to be prepared to return to Syria as war almost ended

          Well, the government already has a great approach at hand: invade Syria, set up a "safe zone", drive out the original inhabitants (they are pesky, rebelous Kurds anyway, how convenient) and deport the refugees there. Brilliant!
