The Levantine countries (Syria, Lebanon, Jordan) are tiny but Egypt is a giant. It's not going to be a cakewalk and Egyptians frankly dont want to take Gazans in. Tourism is their economy's only bread and butter and war is the last thing they need |
You're cute. You think Israel wont be monitoring Palestinians in Egypt and Syria? When you play dirty, you have to always watch your back. Israel's guilty conscience and Arab's penchant for surprise attacks means they will never be able to rest or be relieved from Palestinians even if they moved to Uganda like they proposed. They would still watch their back. |
Can please explain why you know this to be true? Or are you an American a Jew raised to believe Israel made the desert bloom and the people who lived there before we tribal savages or invaders from Arabia. The Palestinians I know are educated, kind, compassionate humans anyone would be fortunate to call friends in real life. What Palestinians do you know? Please tell! The only reason I think other countries “don’t want Palestinian” is that they the become target for Israel. Yes. Isreal has the military might. |
The borders are all arbitrary. There is no difference between Bedouins as they are historically nomads. Saudis as well. This is why they originally made friends with the Jews-as the custom, Bedouins are hospitable to newcomers. Nomadic Arab cultures were focused on business and caravans-being tied to one place for generations was unknown esp. for Bedouins. This is why Bedouins have no problem living in Israel. Palestinians are not really Arab nomadic. Neither are the Levantine countries like Syria and Lebanon. There ancestors were farmers who lived in villages for generations. Palestine and Lebanon is extremely fertile. There's no need to move anywhere else. A camel caravan or being a nomadic merchant wandering the desert is as foreign to a Palestinian as it it is to an American. Jewish culture due to its nomadic experience across Europe saw more commonality with the Gulf/Khaleeji Arabs and Bedouins-aka the real Arabs because they are nomadic and pragmatic about money and moving. |
Do you know much radiation Israel bombed Gaza with? Who in the hell is going to want to vacation or swim in toxic waste and risk the hotel blowing up or being kidnapped? Hamas arent dumb, they built tunnels for a reason so Israel cant annex it.

Jordan is majority Palestinian. Got rid of them how? |
This argument is tired. So very very tired. There are no similarities between my parents immigration into a foreign country to settlers and militaries forcibly taking someone’s land (yes I know that happened here in America). I have never felt I was entitled to the land where I lived I bought it and the government, can, if it chooses take it back, I also don’t think I’m entitled to land currently claimed as tribal land. I’m not packing up my family, pushing my way in with a bulldozer, building condos and moving onto those lands, I’m not preventing people who live on those lands from being afforded all the rights and privileges that I have as a citizen, I’m not restricting their movement, supplies and livelihood. America has made an effort (although perhaps not enough) to attempt to make amends for the treatment of the Native American and has acknowledged their mistreatment. So no, it’s really nothing like it. |
I don’t understand what you’re saying, or what it has to do with my post. |
I agree with most of that. I wouldn’t say the Bedouins have no problem living in Israel though. They are getting kicked around like many others. They are not wanted. |
The neighboring countries don’t want to take in the Palestinians not because they are Palestinian but because they simply do not have the economic ability to do so. There is little to no industry to support a mass influx of immigrants. They can barely manage their own population. Additionally, many of the people in Gaza have limited education (not because they don’t want it but because they aren’t allowed to have schools) and are women and children (all the men are dead) so just like we won’t take in all the immigrants from south and Central America despite our bounty of riches why is it even a consideration.
Here’s a thought. Why not allow the Palestinians to actually live like normal people, to be educated, receive adequate healthcare, farm, have industry occupy their time with productivity? Why is the answer sending them somewhere else? If Israel is so worried about its safety. (It’ll be surrounded by these same people) why not move themselves to Germany, they will be safe there. |
+ 1 million. Most common sensical post around here. |
What does the fact that they are women and children have to do with other countries’ refusals to take them in? |
Please don’t propagate fake news. Gaza has one of the highest literacy rates in the world. https://www.macrotrends.net/global-metrics/countries/PSE/west-bank-and-gaza/literacy-rate |
You left out Hamas for starting this Oct 7. |
Sadly it has to do with being able to work and provide a living for yourself and your children. As difficult as it is here in America for women can you grasp how difficult it is for these particular women? Many of the cultural norms you take for granted aren’t available to everyone else. If you don’t understand this then I hope you are not offering an opinion on the situation because you are grossly uninformed. |
