Global response to the refugee crisis from Iraq and Syria has been overshadowed by the security threat posed by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) invasion. Palmer offers his own speculation surrounding the lackluster response. “It’s ongoing. It’s been a long-term thing. People are just getting tired of it. Another reason is the perception of ‘there’s a lot of bad people in that part of the world.” It’s small comfort to the hundreds of thousands in Northern Iraq fleeing into Turkey with ISIS in hot pursuit. “They didn’t even have an idea of what country they were in. So, there’s so much happening. It’s war.” Palmer says shock doesn’t register on the global scale. Neither does a man-made crisis.
