The case for resettling Palestinian refugees in the US
The Hill ^ | 06/08/2024 | J. KEVIN APPLEBY

Posted on 06/08/2024 6:54:06 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

The Biden administration recently floated the idea of resettling a limited number of Palestinian refugees from Gaza to the United States. As a nation, it’s the least we can do.

The reported proposal would bring Palestinians with immediate family ties in the U.S. to our shores. It is unclear how many Palestinians would qualify, but it would likely remain far below the need.

Sounds straightforward, right? Wrong. The history of the Palestinian refugee question is fraught, as Palestinians have called for the “right to return” for refugees to their homeland, which is now part of Israel or claimed by Israel. The Israelis have in various ways rejected this demand, or postponed it to the day when it might become part of an imagined comprehensive Middle East peace agreement.

Gee, they may as well see if they can find some Hitler youth to import while they’re at it.

We have the loss of our freedoms with the "Patriot Act, TSA, Department of Homeland Security, Two of the world's largest high rise buildings with over 2,000 occupants killed, and that was just with 26 Jihadi Boyz that over-stayed on their Visas.

Americans must seem like real idiots to the rest of the world.

According to his mother, Mary, Sirhan was traumatized as a child by the violence he witnessed in the Arab–Israeli conflict, including the death of his older brother, who was run over by a military vehicle that was swerving to evade gunfire.

“There should be zero discussion”

Why?

After carefully considering the pros (zero) and the cons (deadly terrorists ready to make 9/11 look minor, anti-semites, anti-Americans, thugs who voted for Hamas to lead them in their election in Gaza, will be more unassimilated welfare hogs at the tax money troughs)
here is the answer:

no

We should resettle them in Haiti and see who wins.

That's the best idea I've heard in ages.

We have a long tradition of Jews in our country and despite them not being a threat in any way they’ve had to deal with Old World hatreds that have been pretty much subdued by American justice. So why would we actively pursue the importation of Palestinians who are sworn enemies of Jews everywhere? Don’t we already have enough problems without importing more?

...resettling a limited number of Palestinian refugees from Gaza to the United States. As a nation, it’s the least we can do.

Palestine is a region, not a people. To the extent Palestinian means people who have lived in that region it includes Israeli citizens including both Arabs and Jews. It includes Hamas and the unlucky Arabs under their brutal authority. It includes Hezbollah and the other unlucky Arabs under their authority. The latter groups are indeed in a desperate and pitiable situation which is perpetuated by them being trained from youth to be hateful and destructive. This is aggravated by being under the thumb of the most ruthless among their number. We can move them into a civilized environment, but how can we remove the hatred and destructiveness that has been baked into them? The Left's answer is to not see their hatred and project their horrible deadly behavior onto others, particularly Israel.

So when the Left suggests what we should do or what we owe them, I have to say, I do pity them, but you guys are idiots and need to sit down and shut up and stop making stuff worse by living in a delusion.

The U.S. has become the dumping ground for the rest of the world. Just don’t send them to Martha’s Vineyard.

I had always heard he was from Palestine, though I lived oversea at the time. I never really went back and looked at the assassination of RFK after the fact, and that is what I remembered from that time, so I suppose its possible ChicagoConservative27 was in the same boat, getting news from places that might not have been accurate.

I read the Wikipedia account (something to be wary at all times of accuracy, especially with political issues like this) and they say he was a Jordanian Christian who lived in a Palestinian locality, and killed RFK after he immigrated to the USA (never becoming a citizen) because he was supporting Israel. Is that more in line with the reality of the situation as you know it?

Well, if they do come here, we need to settle them in Lower Manhattan on the East Side, Scarsdale, Mamaroneck, Shaker Heights, Skokie, Hollywood and of course Malibu. Palo Alto too, although there’s quite a few there already.

And thus the people most enthusiastic about mass immigration from the Third World can truly discover the benefits of such.

Martin Luther King was killed in April of 1968, two months before Bobby Kennedy; riots then occurred in many dozens of cities.

My parents were immigrants.

Aunts, uncles, cousins all immigrants.

My in laws were immigrants.

My son in law is an immigrant.

My tenants are immigrants.

More advanced degrees in that group than I have fingers and toes.
