"It's a great business model. Let's turn the country into a giant
hotel and market it as such..." These were my thoughts as I read about
HRW's call for Jordan to accommodate the 100+ refugees stranded on the
Iraqi border.
"We'll give Aqaba 7 stars, Amman 5 stars, Irbid
and Jerash 4 stars, Mafraq, Maan, Karak and Tafileh 3 stars, and
Rweshed and Al-Jafr 2 stars. This way, we can accomodate refugees of
all income levels, and get the UN to pay for those who can't afford it." No pun intended to cities that got less than 4 stars
:)
Instead of commending Jordan on its amazing track record and
receiving refugees of many conflicts, HRW have the arrogance to
criticize us as if we have no human rights of our own.
Those
refugees have a right to settle down, but what better place than their
own country? Or is Jordan supposed to be a sport and take the burden
off of Israel and the US? It is in the best interest of those countries
that HRW step in, stand up for those people, point the finger at
Jordan, and blind the world from their true cause.
If HRW were
really concerned about human rights, those refugees wouldnt be in Iraq
in the first place, but we don't see any pressure exerted on the Israel
to take back the millions scattered around the world.
Their hypocrisy leads me to think of them as hired mouths that go
off whenever it serves the interest of their masters. The US government
stopped paying for hotel accommodations for its own Katrina refugees,
but we don’t hear HRW loud-mouthing them.
I am glad someone
finally has the guts to stand up to this bull****. Jordan has done more
that its fair share of being a giant "hotel" for people made homeless
because of western world policies.
