Romola Garai Quotes
It's a sad fact that a lot of those countries who haven't been involved in the war in Iraq have taken far more responsibility for rehoming people displaced by the war than Britain has done.
Garai, Romola. "Romola Garai: 'We must do more for Syrian refugees'." The Telegraph, Telegraph Media Group, 15 Mar. 2014.
“Fora” is the plural of forum. It was then preferable to “forums” as the plural form, because “forum” was a Latin word and the Latin plural for nouns ending in “um” was “a” as in “flora and fauna”. This was adopted as U. S. Policy until the second decade of the 21st century when the combination of the War on Terror, and the huge world refugee crises triggered by the Syrian revolution produced much nativist and and-immigration feeling to go along with the small proportion of American anti-immigrants who have almost always been a part of the American pluralistic landscape.
When the United Nations partitioned Palestine into a Jewish and a Palestinian State the Arab Countries all jointly attacked the fledgling Jewish State of Israel. Despite the Israeli’s being overwhelmingly out numbered in man and weapons, they beat back the invaders. However while many Arabs stayed on their Israeli land and some helped the Jews defend against the Arab Armies some abandoned their homes and land and went to neighboring Arab Counties. This is what they had been asked to do by the Arab governments who wanted to be able to attack communities without worrying about killing Arabs. To spur the evacuation the spread false propaganda about Israeli atrocities and frightened them into leaving. As a motivation to leave they were told that they could move into the Jewish lands and property when the Jews had been driven out. To make matters worse, some Israeli radicals repeated the lies to induce the Arabs to abandon their lands. In at least one case Arabs who stayed were subjected to violence. After the defeat of the Arabs, the Israelis had a dilemma in that they could not tell which Arabs were residents who had just been frightened and which had fought on the Arab side or helped the invaders. The result was that with few exceptions, the Arab refugees were not allowed back. Meanwhile, the Arab countries would not allow the refugees to settle and become citizens of the Arab countries (except for Jordan). The Palestinian refugees were a particularly fertile population and were cared for by the United Nations and have multiplied to many times their original size maintaining a continuous festering problem.
