Nobody wants the Palestinians. The undesirables of the ME.
Nobody in that region wants importation of the Palestinians.
Apparently they are so fanatical, they even give terrorists a bad name!
They are all Jordanian and Egyptian legacy welfare recipients. Why leave when you can get free gibsmedats
How about we stop sending each their couple billion dollar a year allowances?
70-75 median IQ and thoroughly violent.
We need more refugees here so that they can REALLY do an insurrection! Today was chump change!
When even muslims don’t want other muslims, you KNOW there’s a problem with the Palestinians.
Except a Musloid in Scotland, and Musloids in the United States of Banana.
Some of the blase reactions I’m seeing to the Arab countries rejecting this proposal are perplexing. Why are other countries obligated to take people being ejected from what has been their home (and, in the case of a majority of Palestinian children, has been under blockade for their entire lives)?
“Palestinians are nothing but trouble, no wonder Egypt and Jordan won’t take them.”
Or, alternatively:
- Egypt won’t take them because they would be destitute (since, even though the Palestinians aren’t what anyone would call “well off”, what little they own is in Gaza). 2 million people wallowing in a massive refugee camp in the Sinai would be a goldmine for the Muslim Brotherhood (especially when Egypt has a neighbor — Sudan — just to its south undergoing a civil war).
- Jordan won’t take them because they already have tensions boiling over from refugees displaced because of the Syrian Civil War, as well as Iranian-backed militias agitating Jordan’s security via smuggling and drug running.
For either nation, being told to they have to accept 2 million Palestinians — refugees who will be feeling very bitter about being kicked out of their homes — would be seen as an existential threat to their national security...and rightly so.
Both Egypt and Jordan have couched their refusal to accept Palestinian refugees in humanitarian terms; however, the brutal calculus is that the displacement of Palestinians from Gaza will inflame the various tensions that already exist, running the risk of escalating the conflict into a true regional war throughout the Middle East.
They have been unable to peacefully co-exist with anyone.
Six words that are actually true.
Guess that means Israel should play catcher for another 50yrs and we’ll call that civilized.
Except Niki Haley.
Maybe Netanyahu shouldn’t have supported Hamas to serve as a counter to Fatah and the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank then.
But I digress: do you seriously think defeating Hamas requires Israel to evict the Palestinians from Gaza?
Antarctica had plenty of room.
Previously, didn’t both countries end up having to expel them because they caused trouble?
As far as Jordan goes, two words: Black September.
Egypt has had a relatively small (by comparisons to Gaza) Palestinian diaspora since 1948. However, given that Hamas originally split off from the Muslim Brotherhood (from what I recall), I can understand why they’re wary of taking more when Egypt already is playing host to millions of refugees from various other conflicts.
Jordan for sure. It wasn’t pretty at all.
Fun fact: The GDP per person in Gaza is roughly 1.5x that in India.
Thank God a similar proportion of India’s population are not homocidal maniacs.
Maybe it would help to get Gazans hooked on a more “pacifying” drug than captalon.
Uhhh... that’s nine words. (just saying)
No one wants their cities worm-holed with miles of underground tunnels. Those Gazans don’t know when to stop. Building will topple with their foundations compromised. I know that’s being sarcastic but these countries know these Gazans know how to make trouble. Their background check has some real bad history.
They’re going to be so bitter being evicted from their open air prison.
We have all of those words w/o the word Iran one time.
At what point does the west stop playing catcher in the 50yr proxy war?
Hijackings, USS Cole, Beirut marine barracks, WTC I & II, embassies, discos, cafes, subways etc....but I’m going to believe Bibi’s got this and that’s all folks!
PS the Arafat billions are still most likely in French banks-perhaps that will help with the move.
Egypt is getting abt $4.5 billion/yr in US aid + excess climate scam oil revenue-that buys a lot of hummus.
Iran is 20% more oil production, 500% increase nat gas output into climatescam prices with $26 billion in released walking around money.
Jordan is near economic collapse anyway-pals or not.
