The West Should Welcome Gaza Refugees, Europe and the U.S. accepted millions who fled earlier wars.
Wall Street Journal ^ | Nov. 11, 2023 | By Danny Danon and Ram Ben-Barak

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.

It’s like every other day she says something that makes me like her less. Which was already quite hard to do.

Why the West. They’re surrounded by their “arab muslim brothers”. They are coreligionists and speak the same language already. They would be much easier to assimilate as the culture is basically the same as theirs.

And that’s the fatal flaw in the argument. Muslims WILL NOT INTEGRATE.

They're not the only ones. We now have two national anthems. Two days of independence. Special months., etc.

Qatar is hosting hamas leadership, they can take them.

And since hamas leadership is sitting on so much cash, they can pay for the rebuild of gaza.

Once again, the relevant question is, Why are ‘Palestinians’ the only ‘refugees’ left over from the turmoil after WWII? No one is talking about the present-day Sudetenland German refugees (or their great grandchildren) or the German refugees from Danzig, or East Prussia, etc. etc. What makes the ‘Palestinians’ unique in this regard.

A possible answer is that nobody wants them. A good argument for our not taking them in.

But I thought Israel was part of the West. If so, it also should take some of these refugees. I guess Israel is not part of the West when it comes to taking in Palestinians.

This is unreal. These people are too insane to live next to Israel, but let’s send them to Europe and the US!

Must be one of the blessings those who bless Israel get.

It would anger me far less if it were Muslims trying to guilt the West intontaking responsibility for the Gazans.

When these two Israelis do it, it shows that they do not think of the countries of the West as friends. They wish us ill, they hold us in contempt. And they will turn around and claim friendship when it serves.

I have no idea how representative the authors are of Israeli Jews in general. Rather more representative I would think of the politicians and the state security.

Why should we take that sewage. We’re hauling it into America from the south. You bastards in the Middle East need to accept these Palestinian thieves yourselves. America can’t handle all the feces on the planet! Let somebody else do it. Get Greta the Swedish Meatball to embarrass Sweden into taking those 2 million turds. Stop dumping your sewage on America!!!!

The West Should Welcome Gaza Refugees

No, it shouldn’t. The West will likely not survive the “refugees” and “immigrants” that it has allowed in over the past 20 years.

I COMPLETELY SUPPORT THIS IDEA! -——

—— as long as the refugees and Hamas terrorists first walk across North Africa so they can take the ferry from Tangiers to Gibraltar!

excellent idea!

F--k Ukraine.

Here's a Hot Take: F--k Israel!

I care about the Holy Land. The buildings. The Temples. The Tombs. NO ONE DESERVES TO LIVE 100 MILES FROM A HOLY SITE.

The Israelis are getting mighty annoying. So are their compatriots in Europe and in this country as well that have gone left of center.

Gazans grew up on a daily diet of hatred for Israel and Jews.

This hate will not go away. Robert Fitzgerald Kennedy was killed by a Palestinian Arab “Christian” because his killer feared Israel would get 50 jet fighters from the USA. Shortly afterward, Congress moved to pass the Gun Control Act of 1968.

The US shouldn’t take in any more ‘Palestinian’ refugees than the Arab countries surrounding Israel. Which is ZERO...

Consider the Jews sheep and the Palestinian Arabs wolves.

If you’ve already given asylum to sheep you shouldn’t take in wolves.
