I dont know whether the west encouraged the rebels or not life under Assad was not a bed of roses was it? Maybe they didnt like it ? But whatever that does not mean we have to take those countries populations in. We do it for humantarian reasons something the Arab states are in short supply of.
That's not true. Egypt has 100,000 Syrian refugees and there are 1.5m refugees in Jordan, 1.4 in Lebanon, something like 2.5m in Turkey and even Iraq has a quarter million. They do it for humanitarian reasons too. Israel's government has refused to offer any resettlement places to refugees.
