If my home town was getting bombed, I'd want to seek safety for my family. If things were getting better in my hometown, I'd want to go back to try to build a life there again.
If I ended up in a country that was trying to help feed and house my family, I'd be very thankful. It wouldn't mean I'd like it though.
If I was sent to some country where it was incredibly hot all the time, I wouldn't like it.
If I was sent to some country where I had to eat slimy weird things, or extremely hot spicy things, or things that go against everything I believe in (like dog or horse meat), I'd complain also. I would turn vegetarian if the only meat offered was dog or horse meat.
Anyways, you can't blame some of them for wanting to go back, no matter what the reason even if it is just home-sickness for the culture and foods that they have known all their lives. The trauma of first being in a war torn country and then being shipped to an alien land with alien food and alien culture would not be easy. I'd want to go back too, if it was at all possible.
I don't think anyone is necessarily "blaming" people. We are all glad they want to go back, for whatever reasons. Fight for your country, take a stand. If I were a young man, that is what I would want to do.

I'm not "blaming" anyone who responded to this thread. I just find some of the posters are being sarcastic about the refugees wanting to refuse a gift horse.
I am imagining in a refugee's mind, it is asylum from the hell they came from, and they appreciate the kindness of Finland for taking them in, but it wouldn't be a place they'd choose to stay for the remainder of their lives if at all possible.
Some of the "refugees" have admitted in media interviews that they're economic migrants looking for a better life.
I wonder when the open-borders thing and welcome wagon will include Americans? Could we just fly to Turkey and stroll into the EU, and be allocated an apartment?
I have minimal needs, so a small apartment on the south coast of France would be enough for me. Some local cheeses, fresh bread and the local wine would be more than enough to satisfy my humble self!
I have some other places that may work for me as well as Lake Como comes to mind .
Anyway, i would be a good citizen and wave the flag on the local holidays! Yah!!
"Ajaj says he is drawn back to his home in northern Iraq by news that his father has fallen seriously ill but, first and foremost, by his disappointment with Finland: the country did not turn out to be quite what human traffickers promised on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea."
Have to watch out for those 'human traffickers' -- unregulated bunch that they are. Maybe they should report them to the Better Business Bureau, or sue them for false advertising.
Finland, Finland, Finland
The country where I want to be
Pony trekking or camping
Or just watching TV
Finland, Finland, Finland
It's the country for me
You're so near to Russia
So far from Japan
Quite a long way from Cairo
Lots of miles from Vietnam
Finland, Finland, Finland
The country where I want to be
Eating breakfast or dinner
Or snack lunch in the hall
Finland, Finland, Finland
Finland has it all
You're so sadly neglected
And often ignored
A poor second to Belgium
When going abroad
Finland, Finland, Finland
The country where I quite want to be
Your mountains so lofty
Your treetops so tall
Finland, Finland, Finland
Finland has it all
Oh focus on Finland friends
Finland, Finland, Finland
The country where I quite want to be
Your mountains so lofty
Your treetops so tall
Finland, Finland, Finland
Finland has it all, Finland has it all
No, Barrow Alaska would be better. Close to oil fields so they'll feel at home.
