Stephen Harper and Palestinian Refugees

Palestinian refugees: Is it true How much of the current refugee crisis has been caused by ISIS The al-Assad family has been in control since the 1970s, according to Rabble. Beginning in 2006, four year of devastating drought left 800,000 Syrians with nothing. The claim: To stop the flow of refugees, Canada must engage in military action to stop ISIS This favoured trope of Stephen Harper and Chris Alexander is getting a lot of airtime. Many of these people fled to the cities where there were already one million Iraqi refugees and 250,000 Palestinian refugees. ISIS emerged in April 2013 and has taken hold in parts of Syria that are "rebel-controlled," that is, controlled by the groups fighting the Assad regime. The internally displaced Syrians agitated for Assad government help and the basis of the 2011 Syrian civil war took form. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
