“Some people think that the Syrian people are from another planet. On the contrary, I think that we all live inside the same boat, on the same planet.

There are hundreds of victims - innocent women, children, and old men who are hurt or killed every day - and no one cares about them.” PeopleThinkingMenWorldChildrenWarCareSufferingHurtVictimInnocentBoatOld ManSyriaRefugeeNobody CaresNo One Cares Author:Osama Alomar
“There two other areas that are personally deeply important to me, that I hope the Homeland show can attend to in some way - one, being the refugee crisis. These are the most vulnerable people among us in the world. There are over 60 million refugees displaced by war, over 21 million that go to a third country.

These are the victims of the real world's crises that the Homeland world reflects on, and almost takes a Polaroid of these days, versus a fictional tale of it.” PeopleWorldImportantWarRealCountryCrisisVictimVulnerableReal WorldRefugee Author:Mandy Patinkin

“Women have always been the primary victims of war. Women lose their husbands, their fathers, their sons in combat. Women often have to flee from the only homes they have ever known. Women are often the refugees from conflict and sometimes, more frequently in today's warfare, victims.
