Just ask the Jordanians about their experiences with Palestinian citizens and why they don’t want them.

And yet the Left advocates in behalf of murderous HAMAS, cousins to abortion promoters, who mutilate bodies inside the womb, while HAMAS usually does so l outside. Location, location (and degree of functionality or religion), as proxy servants of the devil.

Every other Arab country hates them as well. Egypt built a wall to keep them out. If you spent decades undermining the country (Israel) where you live, no one wants you in their country because you might do the same thing there.

Because everyone, especially fellow Muslims, know that the Fakestinian “narrative” is a pack of lies.
And they simply don’t want to ally with or help the Fakestinian murder gangs in slaughtering innocent people. That is, they may or may not know any Israelis. They may or may not like them. But they do know there is a God and a judgment to come. Allying with mass- murdering liars is not a success strategy. Indeed, it’s a ticket straight to Jahannam (Hell).

The stupid people keep trying to anthropomorphize Muslim savages into salvageable members of society. They'd have better luck putting little white gloves on a mouse and calling it "Mickey".

Quora is nothing but an echo chamber for the lefties, just like the Huffpo and the DUmpster.

In the 1970s the Palestinians in Jordan staged a revolt against their hosts the Hashmite Kingdom of Jordan. The Jordanian King Hussein responded with a crackdown that killed some 25,000 of them. Even though the current King (Hussein’s son) is married to a Palestinian I am sure he’s not anxious for a repeat of that. The Queen will make some sympathetic noises in general support of Palestinian issues but that’s all that will happen. The Jordanian tribes that support the King and the Palestinians do not like each other and never have. They are very different culturally.

They got booted from Kuwait when they sided with Saddam after the invasion. Talk about not knowing the room. I think most Arab countries have a quota against them.

Bibi admitted Hamas was a Zionist creation, but who cares about that on FR? Ever heard of the Balfour Declaration? It’s not just a Muslim issue, but Palestinian Christians, too, who are all but fogotten in this Chaos.

Why don’t you just go ahead and say what you are implying.

Quora is nothing but an echo chamber for the lefties, just like the Huffpo and the DUmpster.

Actually it is not, though overall non-Christian and anti-theist predominate on matters of Christian faith and evolution. Questions about Palestinians vs. Israel see a majority of pro-Israel answers, often quite substantial, and questions about the right to bear arms also predominate sees pro-2nd amendment replies. Plus many extensive positive answers on WW2 etc.

The fact that it almost always allows my conservative answers sets it apart from the likes of Huffpo and the DU, and even so-called "Christian forums" which expelled me. However, in the past Quora did engage in more censorship based upon subjective criteria.

Are the Palestinians right to cut all ties with America and Israel?

Why do people support Israel when they took the country from Palestinians?

Is Israel's invasion of Gaza ultimately aimed at maintaining and expanding its control over land and resources, regardless of the devastating impact on Palestinian lives?

Why does the right to bear arms seem to matter so much more to some Americans than other rights?

Just like the Russian Bolshevik party is a Imperial German army creation!

Age old tactic! (See Sun Tzu) Exploit the factions within your enemy. In this case it was the PLO - Factions the Sunni\Shia fissure ( There were and still are others!). It’s attractive because you think you’re striking at the enemy on the cheap. Unfortunately this type of weapon is hard to put back in the holster.

Historically you trade an uncertain future for success in the present.

Bibi admitted Hamas was a Zionist creation... Ever heard of the Balfour Declaration?

Absurd. Balfour "indirectly led to the emergence of Israel and is considered a principal cause of the ongoing Israeli–Palestinian conflict," (WP) yet the Jews had a right to their historical homeland, which was lost to conquerors (due to impenitent disobedience) and thru a secession of which were provided a portion of that promised land back, but which the antisemitic Muslim squatters would not tolerate. Remove Islam and you have peace. It’s not just a Muslim issue, but Palestinian Christians, too, who are all but fogotten in this Chaos.

Since 98% of Palestinians identify as Sunni Muslims - who overwhelmingly support Hamas, whom it uses as shields, and dissent is squashed by them, then it is no wonder Palestinian Christians are all but forgotten. And if 98% of Palestinians were truly Christians, there would be peace and trade etc.

Yet since it is not, then Hamas must be eliminated Israel has striven to minimize civilian casualties in Gaza. Including IDF making phone calls and sends text messages to civilians residing in buildings designated for attack. In the following video, you can hear a recording of an IDF soldier calling a Gazan to warn him of an impending airstrike in his vicinity. The Israel Air Force has dropped leaflets over Gaza that warn civilians to avoid being present in the vicinity of Hamas operatives.

“Roof knocking” is when the IAF targets a building with a loud but non-lethal bomb that warns civilians that they are in the vicinity of a weapons cache or other target. This method is used to allow all residents to leave the area before the IDF targets the site with live ammunition.

The following video demonstrates how Hamas exploits the IDF’s efforts to avoid civilian casualties. On July 9, Palestinians fled a Hamas target after the IAF fired a warning shot. Moments later, people in the surrounding area flocked to the roof of the target, acting as human shields. The IAF called off the strike to avoid civilian casualties. (https://www.idf.il/en/mini-sites/the-hamas-terrorist-organization/how-is-the-idf-minimizing-harm-to-civilians-in-gaza/)

Informing the equivalent of nazi supporters where the next strike will be enables the murders themselves to flee.

But maybe you side with Amnesty Int.

What would happen if someone did help them?

Body bags are not in short supply.

The Ivy League kiddies somehow missed the history of why no one wants the Palestinians. Some education they’ve had, huh.

Rather, if more help was given then they may be. Tragic.
