Response has to be global. Having these people pile up in the nearest country is no solution—just deepening crisis. Need redistribution. 4/n

OF COURSE, stopping war is the real solution. Too long for TW. Syria: US/Russia/Iran/Saudi can do this. Needs leadership + negotiation. 5/n

If you are in EU near a refugee crisis point—go show up, even with just water & hugs. Fleeing war & then facing hostility is devastating.6/n

I usually tell people avoid crisis places unless they've relevant skills & are organized. This case, I think people should just show up. 7/n

These days are devastating to the refugees, but it's also devastating to Europe. People fleeing war are met with "have a white day" rallies.

A counter-mobilization to the nakedly racist hostility to the refugees is crucial. Yes, there needs to be discussion of costs & burdens. 9/n

A discussion on burdens of people influx should not be held under a shadow of "untermensch" umbrella. And that's what happened so far. 10/n

My (past) op-ed on why refugees are fleeing. No money—even for food. You'd flee too. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/14/opinion/zeynep-tufekci-the-plight-of-child-refugees.html … 11/11pic.twitter.com/zgtWNzpVKa
