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.

If we resettle them in Mexico can we finally have our damned wall?

When I see articles like this supporting a really terrible idea, my first thought is centered on what personal action the author is willing to take. You first, Kevin. Let us know how many Palestinians YOU are willing to house in your own home.

“If the U.S. resettles Palestinians, nearby countries such as Egypt and Jordan, not to mention the nations of the European Union, might agree to accept a certain number.

Really generous that they “might” agree to accept a “certain number” into their own countries. The U S has done more than their part on resettlements and illegals. ENOUGH! I know they are not all “Palestinians” but there are enough of them involved to incite the violence

For my part, after watching the protests in DC this morning, and the recent college campus violence it doesn’t make me feel warm and fuzzy about expecting thousands more of these ,,,,,,,,,,,, ( fill in the blank)

We see their behavior now and we can can only expect more of the same and
worse.

That would be like Thunderdome. Cannibals versus Mohammedan terrorists.

Let’s check with History:

These people have been thrown out of...Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt and on an on:

THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT PALESTINIANS...THERE IS NO PALESTINE.

THEY ARE TROUBLE MAKERS, GANGSTERS, TERRORISTS AND A PURE ***HOLE LIKE BIDEN, WHO HATES AMERICA, WOULD MAKE SUCH A SUGGESTION.

How are they going to make Palestine free, from the river to the sea,if they are here? Besides that, there is a vast amount of territory between there and the United States for them to resettle in, where there are people of their religion and culture,and they wouldn’t have to cross an ocean to get there.

You’re absolutely correct. But I draw the line from counties that inspire their youth to be Jihadists.

Sounds like the Jews in the US better have a “come to Jesus” moment regarding the Second Amendment, and SOON.

They should also have "come to Jesus" moment regarding immigration control.

... At least Haitians ( as French colonial troops) helped the colonials fight the British at the battle of Savannah.
In addition if you would have the Palestinians in Haiti, then they would most likely say...

Of course, we need more people at each other’s throat.

Let the Arab countries take them.

The Kuwaitis would rather do their own dishes and clean their own homes before they let Palestinians into their country

As much as one opposes the "resettling" notion, one does suggest that if Palestinian refugee are moved here, that a trial resettlement happens first, and at two locations...

1. Martha's Vineyard, and ...

2. Cambridge, Massachusetts
