No. Jordan can take them. Algeria can take them. All the Arab nations can take them. Those are their brethren.

This is the problem. Israelis and the pro-apartheid crowd have always demanded that Palestinians be forcibly removed and that other countries cover the tracks of Israel's war crimes. Other countries cannot just take in 2 million people. The US has endless debates about taking in millions of refugees. Why do white Israelis always demand that native POC be taken care of by other countries? In most of the ME, governments are struggling to provide for their own populations. Adding millions drains services and resources, and it also teaches countries like Israel that you can commit genocide with impunity.

When Israel first forced millions from their homes in the 40s (and again in the 60s) Jordan, Egypt and Lebanon shouldered the burden with each country taking in millions. In the case of Lebanon, the Palestinian issue caused a civil war between the Muslim and Christian population which lasted 20 years. All because Israel wanted to kill or displace an entire population. And you wonder why their neighbors don't like them?

Stop it with the white Israelis and native POC crap.

Israelis and Palestinians are both indigenous to the region.

Um, except Palestinians are living there now. Lived there 20 years ago, 60 years ago, and 200 years ago. The Israeli claim is two millennia old and they are so far removed from the land its ridiculous. There should be a statute of limitations here but the Brits sold the land fair and square to get them out of Europe. Since that time, Israelis have appropriated food and culture and trying to claim it as their own, while murdering the people who've been making it for centuries. And yes, the vast majority of Israelis today are white, European.

500,000 Jews lived in what is now Israel in 1945, before Israel was established.

Israelis are Sephardic and Ashkenazi — not ethnically European.

Dude, please. There were over 3M Arabs in Palestine at the time the UK transferred to Israel. And 85% of Israelis came from Europe. The idea that they are not mainly white European is false - particularly when it is that privilege, that whiteness that garners so much more media attention over the thousands of dead and displaced Palestinians.

Jews were expelled from Israel and its surrounding areas and had to flee to Europe. That’s where the numerical imbalance comes from.

But our ethnicity never became European. I am Ashkenazi, not Ukrainian, where my family lived. Ashkenazim are ethnically Middle Eastern.

This is too much. Are you trying to tell me that you are not white? that you do not benefit from whiteness? You go outside and people assume that you are Middle Eastern woman of color? Is that how the media portrays you? No, they do not. And it precisely that privilege that has allowed Israel to be a terrorist state for 75 years. They can murder with impunity because their victims are Arabs. If they were killing Swedes, eg, media would not have given their blessing.

FYI all middle eastern people are considered white. There are plenty of blonde and blue eyed middle eastern people.

Ugh. This is untrue. There are not "plenty" of blondes in the ME. There may be blue eyes but definitely not the norm. Israelis cannot deny their inherent preferred status based on perceived whiteness. The vast majority are white - and significantly whiter than the Palestinian population.

You’re seriously splitting hairs here. Put a Palestinian and an Israeli next to each other. You’d barely be able to tell the difference.

You clearly do not know any Palestinians nor spend much time with Arabs. Is your believe that Israel does not benefit from its European/whiteness?

No because it’s not European.

Ugh, this is so untrue and carrying the water of a eugenics-forward, White supremacist narrative of Jews and Palestinians, who are indeed genetically very similar, and similar in skin tone/coloring. You are not entitled to your flights of febrile fancy when they deny my identity, family history, and complexion. Spread your racism as elsewhere.

The person who is going on about whiteness - you’re totally missing the point.
- only in america is being white the number one issue at stake. The rest of the world has other issues
- most Israelis look Arab. Go or google or whatever you want to do and you’ll see
- Jews who left the Middle East and had been in Europe for longer look ‘whiter’ - again - not important here.
- this america centric lens on Intl issues where they assume that black vs white problems you all have here are the same problems everywhere is colonialist in and of itself. Stop trying to imbue your sh*t on others and actually take the time to understand the real issues. What you’ll find is that there is a huge amount of hatred not based on race but based on religion, history and culture. Not eve thing is about race - shocking as that is

The desire to reduce everything to race is so juvenile.

No, it helps to explain why no one has cared for decades about Israel's war crimes. They don't care because the victims are non-white. The world does not care about Arab victims. In the same way that the US is only concerned with white schools being shot up and not POC majority schools. And Israel has rode the post WW2 pity wave for so long. 80+ years on, no one is alive to remember that and the generations mindset has shifted.

You may be right people don’t care as much about the victims because they are not white looking. We see that pretty regularly in response to other global tragedies in other countries too. But that’s because of the victims not because of who is doing the perpetrating.

And shame on your for your last comment re: WW2. No, most normal people still remember that for the atrocity it was and view it as a reason for why it is understandable that Jewish people feel so strongly about having one safe haven country in the entire world.

You don't understand this conflict at all. And Israelis are no whiter than their neighbors. And most of the world isn't white so try, for once, to understand that the world has its own views that they didn't learn at Oberlin.

+1 this person has way too much emotionally invested in making their whole life about race here in the US and zero interest in actually understanding anything about this or likely any other conflict. Hopefully they are not in academia

No. Wyoming and the Dakotas would remove 6 republicans senators. You know the people who stormed the capitol and support domestic terrorists.

Europeans never accepted them as white and I’m sure I don’t need to point out they were ethnically singled out during WW2.

Why would they want to come here? They want their homeland, they just don't want to compromise.

They’ve lived there for like 50 years. They are Egyptian, the West Bank residents are Jordanian. There is no Palestinian ancient homeland.

These people have lived on their grandfathers' land, and their grandfathers' grandfathers' land, and so on for many generations. You claiming it isn't "Palestine" is splitting hairs.

It looks like the Palestinians will quickly starve to death, and it doesn't look promising when Defense Minister Yoav Gallant didn't distinguish between the terrorists Hamas and the average Palestinian when he said: "There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed. We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly."

The Hamas war crimes are indefensible. There is no question about it. But, for people likening it to 9/11 can you imagine if President Bush had lumped in innocent civilians with terrorists in such a derogatory matter?

The UN reported earlier this year that 60% of Palestinians were in need of humanitarian assistance and now they just cut off funding. Maybe Israel come to reason and allow food drops, or allow women and children to leave (which I don't know if I could do since I have teenage boys).

This is all so deeply upsetting. That more lives will be lost is heartbreaking.

Egypt can open the border at any time. It is horrible that innocent Palestinians will die as a result of Hamas's mass war crimes, but Israel has warned them to evacuate and allowed for safe passage to shelters. Our pressure should be on Egypt to lift their blockade and help find the Israeli hostages, including many children who saw their parents tortured in front of them.

According to the UN the vast majority of Palestinians have not been able to freely move. Blaming a million+ people who need humanitarian aid for not getting out is repulsive. Do you know anything about Maslow's Heirarchy of Needs?

ALL innocent people should be saved.

Israel controls one border, and Egypt the other. You are calling the Egyptian embassy? it is unlkely that the Israelis are opening their side any time soon given the events of this weekend.

This. The UN needs to set up a refugee camp on the Egyptian side of the border. The Egyptians can screen and only let in civilians and leave the terrorists in Gaza. Once Hamas is gone, Egypt, Jordan and all of Palestine’s allies can start rebuilding Gaza with the hundreds of millions of dollars they get in aid money. They can actually build schools, hospitals and businesses. They can swear off violence and move towards a peaceful 2-state solution.

It could take a while generation, but Palestine needs allies who actually want peace. And none of their neighbors have been willing to state that and take action towards that.

We can’t expect Israel to put its guard down when Hamas’ charter calls for the destruction of Israel.

So as far as getting civilians to safety goes, you guys have offered these amazeballs ideas....

- Tunnels! Cram tens of thousands of Gazans into tunnels!
- It's developing country Egypt's problem. Egypt, an economic basket case in its own right, should absorb up to two million Palestinian refugees.
- Bahrain or the emirates. Who cares where the Palestinians themselves want to live. Get them away from our borders and solve the problem once and for all by shipping them off to the Emirates.
- Wyoming or Nebraska. See "who cares where the Palestinians themselves want to live, just get them out of our hair and crush their dreams forever by shipping them to Wyoming."
- They're all "human animals," no distinguishing fighters and civilians, so who cares, just starve them out (Defense Minister Yoav Gallant)

These are all real winners. I hope one of you is writing the White House.

Np- just to be clear, nobody wants them in Wyoming. That was a troll post. We don’t want them.
Carry on.

It looks like the Palestinians will quickly starve to death, and it doesn't look promising when Defense Minister Yoav Gallant didn't distinguish between the terrorists Hamas and the average Palestinian when he said: "There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed. We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly."

The Hamas war crimes are indefensible. There is no question about it. But, for people likening it to 9/11 can you imagine if President Bush had lumped in innocent civilians with terrorists in such a derogatory matter?

The UN reported earlier this year that 60% of Palestinians were in need of humanitarian assistance and now they just cut off funding. Maybe Israel come to reason and allow food drops, or allow women and children to leave (which I don't know if I could do since I have teenage boys).

This is all so deeply upsetting. That more lives will be lost is heartbreaking.

Egypt can open the border at any time. It is horrible that innocent Palestinians will die as a result of Hamas's mass war crimes, but Israel has warned them to evacuate and allowed for safe passage to shelters. Our pressure should be on Egypt to lift their blockade and help find the Israeli hostages, including many children who saw their parents tortured in front of them.

According to the UN the vast majority of Palestinians have not been able to freely move. Blaming a million+ people who need humanitarian aid for not getting out is repulsive. Do you know anything about Maslow's Heirarchy of Needs?

ALL innocent people should be saved.

Why would they want to come here? They want their homeland, they just don't want to compromise.

They could do more good here vs in Gaza. They would control 6 senators(from held by republicans) and 3 congressmen.
