Israeli lawmakers urge the West to accept refugees from Gaza, in WSJ op-ed
All Israel News ^ | November 15, 2023 | All Israel News Staff

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.

I've been a staunch supporter of Israel as far back as I can remember.

Crap like this will make me reconsider.


My thoughts exactly.

Look at the level of violence from the spoiled , poseur Hamas supporters in the US and just imagine what it will be like when we import the real deal violent terrorists from the Gaza.

They have created chaos and carnage wherever they have been shown mercy and given refuge only later to have had to be put down and expelled with a brutal ruthlessness that Americans simply can't muster.

Think Jordan, Egypt, Tunisia, Kuwait, Lebanon, and Syria. Then see what they are doing in UK, the EU and here at home right now.

They need to be shipped to Egypt, Jordan, Iran, Qatar , Yemen, Saudi or anyplace else that knows how to deal with them.

Ben-Barak clarified, "The residents of Gaza should be allowed, with an emphasis on allowed, to choose whether they remain in Gaza and hope that Gaza will be a better place to live under a regime that will take care of the residents' well-being and quality of life.”

Mighty big of you, Ben-Barak. Will the citizens of the designated Western countries be allowed to say no, heck no, we don't want your Gazans?

The article talks about reaction among Israel politicians and Arabs, but not a word about the people of the countries supposed to oblige and receive the Gazans. The reader reaction on the WSJ was near 100% negative, but I don't think the feelings and well-being of the goyim matter to this fellow, which is short-sighted.

No thanks-we have enough pissed off immigrants-both legal and illegal-here already-all they do is whine, threaten and demand stuff-and we’re out of money-how about you fly them all to Egypt-or someplace else in Africa? There is plenty of room over there-I’m sure they won’t mind some more angry muslims...

Minnesota probably isn’t nearly as Muslim as you think.

Based on what I’ve read on FR, it would be easy to assume that Ilhan Omar represents a district full of Somali immigrants. But her district is around 65% white, and the black share of the population (16%) isn’t much more than the nation as a whole.

It’s not Muslims that are the problem here. It’s white suburban dingbats.

I agree with that, but will wait to see if it becomes offical policy. Right now, it is just 2 idiots talking. I’m much more concerned about OUR Nwo occupation government bringing them here.

And I have been indifferent about Israel as far back as I can remember.

Crap like this will make me reconsider.

Crap like this is why.

No.

I’m sure the point of this request is to point out the hypocrisy of the west’s condemnation of Israel’s legitimate self defense. If the obvious recipients; Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, will not accept them, why in the world would the west take them in? In each of these countries, palestinians rose up against the legitimate governments. In the case of Lebanon and Jordan (and later Syria), they incited civil wars. Palestinians see “intifada” as their life purpose, and they will spread it everywhere they go. Israel is just saying “Hey, if these people are so great, why don’t you guys take them?”

Not a single solitary stinking one of them. They KNEW. They either kept silent on Hamas’ plans or helped them directly.
