Interesting. Why were they?
Who knows? Bad hygiene maybe? It happened many many generations ago... The bottom line is this though... Lot’s of Palestinian’s already live in Israel and they’re Israeli citizens. They get to vote and they enjoy the freedoms that Israel offers...
Back in Gaza, it’s controlled by by Hamas thugs and in the West Bank it’s controlled by Hezbollah thugs... No elections, no freedom, they get tons of money from relief organizations and then they spend it on controlling the rest of the Palestinian’s in the neighborhood.
It’s like the mafia being in total control... These Hamas terrorist thugs have obviously been infiltrated by ISIS terrorist... Many of them will likely turn out to be non-Palestinian... They’re likely rejects from Syria and Lebanon, sent to GAZA by the Iranian’s and the Iranian’s bought off the Hamas thugs to send them there.
Most of the dudes who run Hamas aren’t even in GAZA... They live in other Muslim countries to avoid being caught and killed by the Israeli’s... Given the anger of the Israeli’s... Their lifetimes will be greatly shortened... Like, we’re talking days or maybe even hours for many of them. The Hezbollah mafia was smart, and they better stay smart... Their inactions so far will allow them to live a bit longer.
