They’re giving the Arab world a bad rap. That’s why no one wants to take them in as refugees.

“They’re giving the Arab world a bad rap.$

____________________________________________

No ill will or other malfeasance intended here, but Iranians are not Arabs. They are Persian and more closely related to Greeks and Turks ethically and culturally.

Ifbmy liberal arts professors were truthful and my memory serves my correctly, Iran/Persia was a very diverse and cosmopolitan society prior to the Muslim invasion in 632, and despite that, Iran still maintained a significant Jewish population until the Ayatollahs reigned supreme. After which, every Jewish family with the means to do so “got the fuk out” and fled to Israel, Europe and the USA, and to a lesser extent, South America.

Those of us in the West have a very distorted understanding of that.

No one would take them after the 1967 six-day war either. There’s no such thing as a “Palestinian.” These people are the descendants of Jordanians and Egyptians who attacked Israel and lost, and in the process of losing a war that they initiated they also lost territory as Israel pushed them back. When Israel tried to return them to their home countries, mostly to Jordan, those countries refused to take them. I think the reason they refused was two-pronged: 1) They knew what filthy violent animals these people were and didn’t want that element in their countries, and 2) They knew the anti-Israel propaganda value they would provide, enabling the Arabs to tell lies about Israel “occupying” “Palestinian lands” and “forcing” them into “refugee camps.” It was and still is a monstrous lie.
