For Europe, Arab lives matter more than Africans

Where is this Europe taht has shown "compassion" towards refugees? Damn whole continent has been crying about "invasion" when there's probably less refugees that came in Europe than in Lebanon+Turkey

Germany and Sweden before they got too many to handle. It is a fluid situation where the mood gradually changed when the reality of the situation sinked in. The key is not the total number over many years/decades, but within a single year. The whole infrastructure to take care of refugees in these countries is also a big money pit, unlike the more typical refugee camps in many third-world countries.

Sweden has always taken a lot of refugees in, so that's not new. So basically the only "compassion" worth noting is what Germany did. That's one country in all of Europe, hence me asking "where is this Europe with all the compassion" that breh was talking about.

With Brexit, Germany is Europe more than ever.
