I don't know what's involved, but if no one is willing to accept Gazans then it seems like that might be a practical difficulty?


Hmm why do many countries not want to accept Palestinians?

- Supported Saddam in Kuwait

- Supported Saddam in Iraq

- Massacred Christians in Lebanon

- Tried to overthrow Jordan

- Caused chaos in Syria

- Destabilized Libya

- Aligned with iranian axis despite gulf states (eg Saudi) hosting at that time

- Complained about Egypt-Israel peace despite the former being the only country to send men to die for them

- Sent jihadists into Sinai

- Ran military ops out of Tunis after Tunisia agreed to host Arafat causing Tunis to get bombed

- Repeatedly militarized "refugee camps"

Like whether what israel is doing is wrong (it is) is independent of whether or not the palestinians kinda suck (they do)


Look at the demographics of Palestine. They are very young. Most of them weren't even born when most of those supposed things supposedly happened. Are you implying that parent's sins transfer to their children?

OP isn't making a moral argument. They're making a practical one. It's practical for a potential host to be wary about accepting refugees given the positions of their predecessors. Particularly when the current popuations are engaged in decades (centuries?) old disputes based on ancestral rights.


It's not that many people if divided up among many countries. These don't seem like reasons not to accept women and children from a war zone as refugees. Perhaps with some limits.


Exactly. It's not that many people and they still get into a ton of trouble. That seems like an excellent reason to either not accept them, or to enforce that they need to be dispersed widely enough to prevent forming a community and conducting violence in its name until they're back in palestine.

Like we can even blame the way things are on the israelis, or at least majorly on them, but that doesn't change the calculus for other arab states.



Have any European countries volunteered to take more refugees from Gaza? (I wouldn't expect such a thing from the Trump administration.)


european countries run as fast as possible to acknowledge new syrian government in order to declare that syria is safe/stable so all syrian refugees will leave


with the practical difficulty been that nobody wants them ? egypt btw, build a second wall on it's border with gaza, just in case.
