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.

We’ll take 1 MILLION Gazans but Israel will have to take one MILLION blacks.
For the record, Hamas received 44% of the vote in 2006 and formed a coalition government with the runner up political party, Fatah, who received 42% of the vote.
Hamas quickly tore up the coalition agreement and took total control of the government. Gazan Prime Minister Haniyye announced in September 2012 the formation of a second Hamas government, without elections.
No election has been held in Gaza since 2006.
The refugee status should end
Israel should annex the strip and people living on it or cut both free so they can join with the West Bank and form a Palestinian state.
No. We have too many malcontents and whiners that want to burn down the country now. We don’t need more.
Israel tried to cut Gaza free in 2005.
Anyone want this vermine living next door?
Somalia has the climate of California and the population density of Colorado. House all the trailer trash of the Arab world in one place.
Suburban and inner city. Once upon a time, Minneapolis was a fairly nice city. You could fly over and see large suburban homes adjacent to lakefront property even in the city.
Ole, Lena and the ELCA decided it would be nice if Minneapolis was a little more diverse. They couldn't imagine nice people from Somalia coming here to freeload, because Scandinavians didn't do that.
It’s true. You don’t. People don’t yet know enough to stop sympathizing with them. You need an extra dose, for folks whose brains are comatose—a Gutfeld would say.
No, they did not.
In what way did they not? (Sincerely askonv)
Oh, I didn’t remember writing that and I looked back to see why I had written that, and you seem to have picked up a quote from someone else. 4
Never mind—i did write that un response to your saying Israel should set both the WB and Gaza free. So my question, still sincere although slightly embarrassed, still stands 🙂
It’s your exact post. See #146.
Send then to Canada.
