A selfish response he refused to take any refugees literally

Kuch samjh nahi aa raha. Kya kehna cha rhe ho. Different place and different rules. Ma ka ghar n saas ka ghar different hota h na.. adjust krna padta h! Apne reasons dekho, apni responsibility dekho... Then decide. Bhar bhar k paisa kamana only makes sense when you got no family to take care. You invested in good education and good future. Aapke bache sab sikhte.. jugaad nahi. They would have learnt the humility, discipline and life skills! Har cheez note ko gaddi hoti h.

The Palestinians want their land back and many are resolved to fight for it. This causes Israel to act like a jailor to control them. They would like to rid themselves of the problem and have someone else be responsible. No Arab countries want to take on that responsibility.

Nonsense talk .....arab world dont want to take responsibility to bring peace in the middle east

There’s nothing responsible about the Liberal/NDP coalition…. Stop immigration and take care of our own!

Political response to deflect the question. There is nothing left in Gaza, the buildings have been decimated. They have no where to live. Arab countries are not taking in their so called “brothers and sisters”.

I don’t agree fully but he does have a point , if the surrounding nations are responsible to take in Palestinians in this situation all of Gaza is refugees so you would be excepting Israel’s terms of ethnic cleansing illegal settlements and forced diaspora but at the same time if families are running for there lives how can you close the boarders on them ? That’s too extreme you have to be able to adjust to the situation while still supporting a free Palestine …

The India government should take responsibility for this.

When the government fails in its responsibility, they seek someone to blame. International students are paying tuition fees 10 times higher than home students, yet the blame is unfairly shifted onto them for causing the housing crisis. Students are merely being used as an excuse by a failing government. Schools and government officials need to take responsibility instead of misleading the public.

I'm SO fed up with how these stories are framed.\n\nStep one: Say the students are the victim. Talk about all the good they do. How productive they are. How much money they bring. Say don't blame the students.\n\nNO ONE IS BLAMING THE STUDENTS!!!\n\nStep two: Make the reason we have to slow down study permits is because we can't provide for the students. We can't house them. \n\nWHY IS THAT OUR RESPONSIBILITY? Why do we have to provide for them? They aren't citizens. They aren't permanent residents. Them coming here is a PRIVELIGE. \n\n\nWhy can't the answer just be that we have to lower numbers because life is totally unaffordable for Canadians/PRs. As if that alone isn't a good enough reason. As if we should just accept lower standards of living because we have to take care of international students.\n\nSo sick of these narratives.

I don’t think the student’s are a problem as much as immigration itself.\nCanada has been very negligent the way immigrants were taking in to the Country. Instead of letting these immigrants responsibly come into the Country , they were stampeding into Canada without anyone watching that these people even were eligible or not. We have no doubt many undesirable’s who would not have been allowed under normal circumstances. Even now people have no place to stay, yet more and more immigrants are coming and sit on top of each other. How is this healthy for these people and how is this healthy for Canada and Canadians. The Government is so irresponsible, that they simply have to be thrown out !!

Post secondary institutions love foreign students. They charge waaaaay more and make that much more.\nThe response against more foreign students by liberal media is the threat that your tuition will go up with limits on foreign students.\nWhat about spaces? For every foreign student there's one less space for Canadian students.\nHousing is the biggest issue today.\nPrevious to Trudeau, the issue was the cost of detached homes in big cities going up but today it's insane rental costs across the board that no one can afford.\nI have been dumb founded as to why after decades of predictable increases and stock suddenly, year after year, cost went up dramatically as stock dwindled.\nI see the same places available, no one's tearing down masses of cheap 70s built rentals so what happened?\nThen I saw the immigration numbers. Canadians aren't having kids so who is taking all this housing? It has to be immigration.\nClearly, it's time to turn the taps down and allow housing stock to catch up.\nThe ripple effect is that no one can work an entry level job in the city. Who can afford a minimum $1000 month on minimum wage? Even at $20 hour, everyone is hiring but no one is filling positions in cities where there's nowhere to rent. Even these way over priced rentals, a bedroom in a run down house has line ups to rent at $800 month.\nThe only people accessing affordable housing are people on the street or on disability who qualify for it. Low income workers are the most screwed class of people especially if single.

This is the Federal Government issue. Why are they blaming it on the Provincial ? The Liberals taking no responsibility on any issues at hand.

Of COURSE they refuse to take responsibility!! What do y’all expect??? Praying for all of us!!!

Please western nations, take their response and use it like them at our refugee crisis. If the Muslims don’t take any refugees from their brothers, why should we?

Way to not take any responsibility!

You forgot to mention one big reason: the cult of gender ideology, enforced by the government. It is appalling to see that there is no parental authority anymore and they can put you in jail (it happened to a father, R. Hoogland because he refused his 12 year old daughter take testosterone to 'become a man'). They brainwash your kids into thinking they are born into the wrong body and when they demand to 'transition' and you, as any responsible parent, refuse, they take your kids from you and put you in jail. Pure madness, cult mentality and definitely NOT democracy! If you want freedom, don't think you will get it in Canada. Do your homework before you decide to move there.

It takes seven years to acclimatize to US and Canada life. Specially after marriage responsibilities are much high to balance.

Unfortunately, the people we put into power are responsible for this. We have the power to turn things around but it takes backbone and awareness about what is really taking place in the upper rankings of gov't. We chose to go along with it all, wear the mask, impose the jab, lock ourselves down, isolate each other, and then reelect the same people who put those policies in place. It's our fault, no one else. But we can change it on a dime, and for much better.

Hello Seyi, thank you for this informative video. Please kindly want to ask what the processing time is like for tourist visa in Lagos, Nigeria? That is, how long after applying on the cicc website does it take to get a response from the embassy for biometrics, and the request for the passport. thank you.

What a response and answer!! Why are this western media keep asking other countries to take Palestines as a refugee!!?? Why Palestines have to leave their country and land??

No it’s actually a disappointing answer. Surely it is the responsibility of a neighbouring country to take refugees when they are in crisis but then again what would you expect from a Stone age kingdom. If not for oil the Saudis would still be in the ages of the camel.

This is actually a cop out for an answer. it is the responsibility of neighbouring states to take in refugees during times of crisis. Even far poorer nations such as Kenya have hosted refugees from neighbouring countries such as Somalia. If anything this answer just highlights both Saudi and wider Arab hypocrisy when dealing with refugee crises in their backyards. Also yes I totally understand why this question was asked as often a lot of European states have taken in refugees from middle eastern countries whilst the neighbouring gulf states have taken none.

Ok so stop the fighting so Hamas can re-tool? Hamas are taking the aid and support from their own people. What is the correct response from Israel?

See the Arabs won’t even accept responsibility over their own people…yet in their rich countries they take in thousands of Indians, Pakistanis and others to build their projects. Only if they did that with their own people then Israel can exist and the Palestinians can have a home to live in aswell.

It is a fair question: during the war in Ukraine, Europe provided a safe heaven for refugees. When are the Arab countries taking up responsibility when there is a humanitarian crisis? Why were Syrian refugees welcomed in Germany but not in Iran or Saudi Arabia?

If you were among the best of the best in your own country it won't take long for you to find a job to work among the best in Canada. If you were mediocre to begin with expect mediocre responses from hiring managers.

Basically he’s response in a nutshell: The Arab world won’t move a finger to help the Palestinians. The Arab world will ignore there is a problem and we won’t take in any Palestinians

That is a good response, now the west has a reason to refuse taking refugees in the future, you can just tell people to lift the weight , doesn't matter who will lift it or not, what matters is no refugees

Where is the problem then ! ISRAEL as proposed so manu 2 state solution even accepting as far as 99 % of what Palestine wanted ! They still refused ! \n\nThe 22 Arab States and the 48 Muslim states should take responsibility because this is a Palestinian autority problem now that just wants 2 wipe Israel !

Egypt should remove its blockade. Gaza should be annexed and ruled as part of Egypt. The Arab nations just want to put all the weight on Israel with the hope that one day it eventually crumbles under pressure, so an Arab ruled Palestine could reemerge. Who attacked first in 1948? Why should Israel remove its blockade on Gaza if Egypt is not willing to do the same? Furthermore, Egypt ruled over Gaza before. Take responsibility. Palestine was the name given by the Roman occupiers to delegitimize Israel; it is derived from the word Philistine. You’re not fooling anyone. Help your fellow Arab Muslims if you really care. Your subterfuge and excuses are obvious evasions of moral responsibility.

You know... I'll be honest...this is the most honest thing Saudi Arabia has ever said that I heard...I liked this video and for all the idiots saying other people should take in Palestinian people understand you're saying that Israel has the right to occupy and you hide terrorism shielding it with humanitarian refugee support...this is pathetic and the answer Saudi Arabia gave is... honestly if the Prophet Mohammad pbh was alive... he'd be happy with that truthful response...if they be this truthful and righteous then big plans are coming and business too... I'm very impressed and this is the first time I'm impressed with the Arab world...just seeing real honesty here yes!!!!??

Really good answer indeed, because the whole whole should be responsible for peace in every corner of the world. However, he smartly ignored the fact that Palestine claims are based on muslim ideology, and hence muslim nations do need to take a larger part of the share in this burden. Obviously, no one wants to leave their land, but no one wants terrorists to win as well.

Maybe the Palestinians should take responsibility and start developing their own country without spending all the aid they get on rockets and vote on a government that doesn’t build their military under their hospitals. Israel started the blockade right after Hamas became in charge. And look what Hamas did.

If there is one group of people that has not taken responsibility for this situation it is the countries of Egypt, Jordan, Syria and the rest of the Arab world. They ejected 1m Jews from their lands but did not take in the resulting 600k Palestinians from their war of conquest. Both '48 and '67 were Arab wars of conquest that they lost.

My family moved 22 years ago from Mumbai to Toronto…while the struggles said on your channel are real, there are also perks which I feel like you didn’t get to experience. If people have good jobs, stable family life then DON’T move…culture shock is huge that people moving from India don’t consider, just by wearing and eating western food doesn’t make you western! \nThere are sacrifices to be expected which you don’t realized as your great grandparents or grandparents might have made when they started out! \nMoving to another country is never easy, unless you’re loaded with $$$. People in India are lazy as they have people working for them and don’t realize how difficult it is living outside of that lifestyle (not everyone in India can afford housekeepers, cleaners). Being independent and doing things on your own has its own positive (just need to figure it out). \n\nI have worked in healthcare for 16 years and let me tell you…social system works better as everyone gets the health service without being judged about $$. Healthcare is based on priority around the world but people don’t understand this as they feel like their problem should be attended first no matter what! \nNot all drugs are legal in Canada, marijuana is legal though with acceptable limits…you probably were misinformed about drugs! Teach your kids about right /wrong when it comes to drugs, smoking, alcohol and that’s the best you can do! I know people who live in India and do all that which you mentioned you were worried about for your kids. \n\nWhat you experienced was a classic case of culture shock and your expectations didn’t match the reality! Moving away from family, changing lifestyle and being responsible adult (doing things on your own rather than relying on workers) is difficult but doesn’t make the country bad that have you an opportunity to settle! Don’t take things for granted even while you live in India…appreciate the effort that goes into everything- keeping roads clean, people working hard, etc. \n\nBest advice I can give to those considering moving to any foreign country is: Keep an open mind, be ready to work hard and visit the country you want to move to before you make the grave decision of uprooting everything! Things usually turn around and get better after 5 years mark- focus on upgrading your education if you have a basic degree from India (even you know how competitive things are in India, so how can western world not be!)\n\nBeing vegetarian- things are tough when it comes to food but living in Toronto has never been an issue. Even people living in India avoid outside food due to hygiene reason which is not a problem in Canada as food inspection is pretty strict (having worked with ministry of health). \nCities like Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, etc has variety of food options (including veg)…just have to be really open to trying other cultural food (Asian, Mediterranean, Italian,Mexican, etc). My parents are strict vegetarians and have never truly struggled when they are out. \n\nCost of living is definitely higher as the standard living is higher compared to India. Education (until grade 12) and healthcare are free (in reality, you pay tax for it), you get pension when you retire (based on your contributions and type of jobs you had)…you failed to navigate the system and I will say having family around is why you didn’t take opportunity to explore and learn on your own. \n\nPlease don’t come to Canada and make life difficult for other Indians who choose to willingly accept the culture and lifestyle here after going through this hardship- cost of living and housing has gone up dramatically in major cities because of immigration influx! If you’re serious about moving and putting up, only then move! Otherwise all the best for your future endeavours!

They can sod off.its the kiddy fiddlers they should be looking for but that would mean taking responsibility for their own community

He did what every politician does give you word salad and won’t give a straight forward answer; it’s basically no it’s not the Arab country responsible to take in refugees; Gaza is there home and Israel need to cease fire and have peace talks

Yep…everyone wants to stop it…but no one wants to take responsibility

Excellent response! Could have said that any better!??????????????????\n\nStop asking this stupid question of other countries taking them in. Palestine is their ancestral home. They shouldn't have to be forced to go anywhere. Why don't these zionists and zionist apologists get that?

I don’t think the reporter asked a stupid question or showed disrespect. Let’s face it there are many here and abroad that think this way.. so if she is doing her job she will ask the difficult questions and ask what others may think but can’t .. wont or don’t have access to do so. His response was simply the solution is to take the weight off the oppressed n let them live in peace n dignity in their own land.. ??

good answer for somebody who doesn’t want to take responsibility

A shady response. They don't want the Palestinians, so they make no effort to take them while shifting the distributed blame onto Isreal. A smart response and the gullible in the comments are gobbling it down without even chewing on it first.

Weak response, he side stepped the question, of they really care then they should take In, the fake Palestinians

I love his response, the Arab countries ms should take the Palestinians and then Israel claim their land, this reporter forgot that the Saudi’s know how the western mind works? After all they have been selling oil to the western countries for years now.

He is telling her they dont care about palestinians they are not gonna take the responsibility.

The palestinians are being oppressed and being a regime and a muslim country it is your responsibility to either aid them in the war or give them refuge - the women and children cant do anything against the opressors. muslim world should take the refugees in and provide them with best care. let the people who have iman in their heart stand their ground and fight but they have to take the women, children and the elderly in

Haha, this doesn't answer the question—kind of an oblivious response. Hamas attacked Israel so they have a right to defend their land. We don't need to be rocket scientists to know that they are going to do it again. Further Hamas uses its people when it attacks Israelis. Where have any other Arab nations shown any type of involvement in condemning Hamas and intervening by stopping Hamas whether it's through negotiations or by force? it's because most of them back Hamas and know if they don't take any refugees it's only going to cause Israel more harm than if they were terrorists. People condemning Israel are stupid. Take your time to look into the entire matter before pointing a finger to entertain your life.
