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

+1 thank you. My goodness. So frustrating.

Then they shipped the Jews off and took the Palestinian land. So carve out a piece of Germany and make a Palestinian homeland there.

No — Germany should’ve given land in 1945 to Jews.

Fine. Put both the Jewish and Palestinian homeland in Germany. No one gets canaan. The place sucks anyway. I have no idea why they even want to live there.

Well you’re clearly not Jewish or Palestinian.

Yep. It actually doesn’t suck. We call it the land of milk and honey for a reason.

Iran is not a border country. No one is airlifting a million plus refugees from Gaza. There's not even a functional airport in Gaza. Plus Iran is Shi'a. Palestinians are Sunni. Or Christian. It's a very cynical alliance between Hamas and Iran. It's not because they like each other. It's because they hate the same people. Iran is not opening its doors to Palestinians. Ever. Plus Iran is too unstable to take a volatile people that have a history of causing strife and civil war in countries that host them.

In an ideal world, Egypt would open the border and allow women, children under 18 and people over 65 to settle into refugee camps in the Sinai for the time being. But that's not happening.

Hamas has burned all the bridges. Unfortunately, Palestinians in Gaza will reap what Hamas has sowed. Can't see any other way. It'll be awful for them.

Egypt did that years ago. Jordan offered all Palestinians full citizenship. Many took it. Many didn’t.
