MSNBC Accuses Poland, Hungary of Racism for Accepting Ukranians but No Syrians

(Joshua Paladino, Headline USA)

MSNBC Host Chris Hayes compared former President Donald Trump’s immigration policies with Hungary’s and Poland’s response to the Russia–Ukraine conflict, accusing the Eastern European nations of “racism” and “anti-Muslim bigotry.”

Poland and Hungary have agreed to care for Ukrainian refugees, but they refused to accept Syrian refugees during the height of the Syrian civil war, in which the United States fought Russia through proxies, Breitbart reported.

“For many reasons—including, frankly, racism, anti-Muslim bigotry, the paranoia of post-9/11 war on terror—many of those same countries which quite explicitly refused to accept refugees that Russia created in Syria are—to their credit—opening their borders and opening their arms to refugees Russia is creating in Ukraine,” Hayes said Tuesday on his show, All In.

Hayes called the difference between the two wars and refugee crises “an interesting contrast.”

He could not grasp how Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki could meet with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and, along with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, agree to accept “millions of people displaced from Ukraine.” read more

  1. To date, there was been over 2 million Ukrainian refugees have entered Poland. The Poles have welcomed them with open arms. They have a somewhat shared history, culture, and demeanor, having no love for the Russians, occupations, or war. Many refugees have decided to settle in the new country, figuring that their homes are destroyed and Russian occupation will make any tranquil life there untenable.

    But Polish cities are reaching a breaking point, with 300,000 refugees in Warsaw alone. Poland has a need for new laborers put most are women and children, with the men staying behind to fight.

    Yes, I believe this crisis is best addressed by private charities around the world. I’ve read about a number of Catholic Charities that mobilized the first week of the war to get goods flowing to Poland.

    As much as I hate American tax dollars going to foreign countries, especially to our enemies that just laugh at us, maybe a small percentage of that $800 billion in arms for Ukraine can be spent on food for the displaced refugees in Poland.

    “> …once again, for the slow kids…

    Was that directed at me? Without @ing me in?”

    …no. this is for everyone who wants to claim Islam is a “race”, despite it having people from every nation and every color in it.

    Its about the attempt to conflate it with immutable biological characteristics, which it certainly is not.

    You do not appear to be arguing that, so I did not have you in mind at all.

    Alrighty.

    Then for the fast kids. Who just skim along. I meant “And…what?”. Or “And…then”.

    Oh. And…@SNS is right.
