The case for resettling Palestinian refugees in the US

The Hill ^ | 06/08/2024 | J. KEVIN APPLEBY

[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.

Eritrea is steeped on, & controlled by, islamic perversion and desperately needs population...

There is plenty of room for all the Palestinian vermin...

I hope Biden promotes this idea.

[PghBaldy]

Jews, Catholics and Mormons (and mainline Christian groups along with mostly every wacko left-winger and nearly all GOP leaders except for Trump & a few others) want refugees inundating us here.

Oh hell no

[escapefromboston]

America needs to end immigration for at least a few decades and it definitely doesn’t need any Muslims at all.

As a nation, it’s the least we can do.

Screw the idiot who wrote this.

Terrorist risk aside...

95% of all Muslim imports are on welfare. At least it was that way in Germany when I lived there. The ONLY employment was government agencies making sure the government kept handing out the gibsmedats. HELL no.

"They're all terrorists."

"Send them to the United States."

What isn’t an excuse to let more foreign nationals in?

[17th Miss Regt]

This from the Hill, huh? Do the Hill staffers know that the Palestinian ‘refugees’ want to throw about half of the Hill staff from the top of a several story building?

There is no case for bringing seventh century savages into our country. Especially ones who hate us and want us dead.

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

Does Mike Johnson think this is a good idea?

Not sure, but looks like Johnson didn't try very hard to find the billions for "refugee resettlement" in the Israel/Ukraine aid bill he backed.

[Nextrush]

Yeah I think we better watch out what’s coming down the pike...

[willk]

“disproportionate Israeli response”

Hey J.Kevin Applebee, we will be willing to exchange one Palestinian for your sorry ass!

[gibsonguy]

Leave it to the despicable pricks at The Hill to grease the skids for another Biden national betrayal.

[bdfromlv]

not just jews, non Muslims of all stripes according to the Koran all will die or be subdued by the master Islam.

[GOPJ]

Not only is it ‘NO’ - but it’s hell ‘NO’...

And I don’t want those people allowed to even visit our country for 3 to 5 years.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

It’s the “least we can do”???

No, it’s about a million times more than the MOST we should do.
