In a jointly penned opinion piece published in The Wall Street Journal, two Israeli Members of Knesset recently urged Western nations to welcome Palestinian refugees from Gaza amid the Israel-Hamas war.
Israeli Knesset Member Danny Danon of the Likud party and opposition lawmaker, Knesset Member Ram Ben-Barak from the centrist Yesh Atid party stressed that the Hamas terrorist organization is ultimately responsible for civilian casualties and suffering among both Gazan residents and Israelis...
“Hamas’s unprovoked terrorist attack on Oct. 7 has endangered not only Israel but the more than two million people who live in the Gaza Strip. Although Hamas won 2006 elections in Gaza and took control of the area from the Palestinian Authority the following year, the group has said that it bears no responsibility for the people living there,” the two lawmakers wrote...
“Europe has a long history of assisting refugees fleeing conflicts. The wars in the former Yugoslavia displaced millions, most of them from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Germany, Austria and Sweden accepted large numbers. When the Kosovo war erupted, hundreds of thousands of Kosovar Albanians fled to neighboring Albania and the country now called North Macedonia.”...
“European countries including Germany, Sweden and France have provided refuge to Syrians since the civil war started in 2011. Between 2015 and 2016, Germany alone admitted more than 1.2 million refugees and asylum-seekers, about a quarter of whom were Syrian.”
Danon and Ben-Barak urged “countries around the world to accept limited numbers of Gazan families who have expressed a desire to relocate.”
Many Israeli right-wingers appear to support the relocation of some Gazan families overseas. However, some Arab countries have argued that Israel ultimately is seeking to expel the Arab population from the Gaza Strip.

✋ muj.
You go right ahead and accept them Israel. We’ll watch.
I’ve been a staunch supporter of Israel as far back as I can remember.
Crap like this will make me reconsider.
Drop them off in Antarctica
No vey !
You made ‘em refugees. You take care of ‘em.
Hand me down problem children...
Why would we even consider this?
Oh yes, because we Christians stand with Israel!
When is this country going to wake up?
If they can swim here, we’ll take them. No boats or airplanes.
NOT JUST NO, BUT HELL NO! Just 2 idiots, for now, are saying this for now.
They are diluted. It’s not a winning position in the short-mid term. In the long term, it’s also dangerous to Israel. If that isn’t obvious buy now, it never will be.
Dumb asses. If they don’t want them, what makes them think think we do?
Wrong! They made themselves refugees by electing Hamas. Don’t blame Israel for what demons did.
2 individuals said this, not the whole country ... some media schmuck found them ...
IF your neighbors won’t take em in
We don’t want them
Can we send them to your house then?
