US to resettle 1,350 Palestinians from Iraq
The Jerusalem Post ^

Posted on 07/09/2009 2:21:24 AM PDT by Yehuda123

It will be the largest-ever resettlement of Palestinian refugees into the US - and welcome news to the Palestinians who fled to Iraq after 1948, but who have had a tough time since Hussein was ousted in 2003. Targeted by Iraqi Shi'ites, the Palestinians, mostly Sunni Muslims, have spent recent years in one of the region's roughest refugee camps, Al Waleed, near Iraq's border with Syria in the west.

Can we send them to Marin County? I’m sure Queen Nancy would welcome them.

Of course, Dear Leader may see them as new community organizer recruits for ACORN. Given the latest poll numbers, ACORN’s going to have to really step up their efforts to steal the mid-term elections in 2010.

From an earlier thread:
Add THEM to the jihadis that are already here and the actual number would astound you. Most are illegal and more of the reason I was so dead set against the amnesty bill than the Mexicans. They are in all fifty (seven)/sarcasm states and being much more assertive now than they have ever been.

Beware this “president.” I cannot say it often enough or more urgently.

The Iraqis detest them so of course Hussein loves them. He’s so predictable.

Why aren’t they resettled with their compatriots elsewhere? Why here?

The true Palestinians disappeared from the gene pool a long time ago.

Today's Palestinians are largely removed and displaced Arabians who claim Palestinian heritage.

They are no more Palestinian than if you and moved to Montana, set up camp, claimed to be Nez Perce, and started killing Montanans demanding our own state.

It is time we stopped playing their game and allowing them to rewrite history and murder for land.

Pay them here or pay them there...

The US has been sending $$$hundred of millions to the Palis for decades.

Those $billions Arafat had hidden in various Euro banks were what he skimmed for decades from the donations of Euro, UN, and US.

The democrat communists intend to fill the nation with immigrants and complete the plan the UN has to make America a nation that the UN will both control by using the votes of the illegals they buy using taxpayers moneies.
America will change its complexion quickly under the dem communists.

Well, let me tell you, the “stupidity” in regards to evil, oppressive and dictatorial governmental system/idealogy of Muslims (called “Islam”) doesn’t *only* exist on the “left” — but also with the GOP and conservatives, too.

I mean, when I hear our former President Bush, saying that Islam is a “religion of Peace” and repeating it *every chance* he got — then I know that stupidity *also* exists in the GOP and the conservative side of things...

Today's true Palestinians are the Old Testament's Philistines, and we all know what God said to do with them!

Today's true Palestinians didn't exist before 1964: that's when Yasir Arafat proclaimed that they were descendents of the Caananites.

Nothing like picking the most barbaric group in history as one's ancestors.

And, we know what God did to them!

This is national suicide.

What’s the matter Obama, not enough terrorist bombings to suit you?

Where ever they land, there’s one more place where the citizens of the United States won’t be able to have a Manger Scene in the city square.

This guy IS NOT a Christian.

These people should have been settled elsewhere with people who share their beliefs. Instead we put them here so they can be the oil to our water.

Why? Why bring them here?

Who wakes up in the morning and asks themselves, why don't we have more Palestinians running around in the United States?

Obviously not someone who wants America to be safe or worries about our best interests.

What can they possibly contribute to America but more religious and ethnic strife, given that groups' propensities for violence?

I guess Obama misses his radical Muslim brothers.

Since they emigrated to Iraq in 1948 to avoid living in proximity to Jews it would only be fair to settle them somwhere in Florida or New York. They’re big Obama supporters there anyway and would welcome them, no?
