If I were Israel, I would've driven ALL Palis out either into Egypt or Jordan, and let them be THEIR problem.
“...Nobody cares for them, they have little to no work ethic...”
I beg to differ. I’m around Palestinians who work in my small yishuv, and some of them are quite satisfactory workers and have a long record of good work for other “settlers” such as myself. I employ one as a house cleaner. No complaints. But I’ll be damned if I can see Palis fresh out of Ghaza being given 5,000 work permits, unless the applicants are thoroughly screened. Let the pampered oil sheikhs of Qatar do the honors. If they work there for a year or two, and they’re ok, have them get back to me.
