Where is Europe when real refugees are in need?


There is a major four-year-old refugee crisis resulting from the Arab cleansing of ethnic Africans from Sudan’s Darfur region, and I am wondering: Where are the offers of aid from European nations that were more than ready to give asylum to Palestinian killers? The poor, oppressed souls pouring out of Darfur are being forced to take up residence in ill-equipped tent camps, or to seek refuge in Egypt and Israel. But Egypt is not treating them much better than the Arabs of Sudan did, and Israel is unable to absorb any great number of these refugees. So why are the nations of Europe, who pretend to care so much about Palestinian refugees and other dispossessed peoples around the world, not opening their gates to the Sudanese? Why are they not offering to help?.
