      It’s probably because they know they won’t be temporary refugees. If they leave Gaza they will never be allowed to return. It’s ethnic cleansing.

        Pretty sure the 50% of the Gaza population who are children would be better off not being bombed to fuck. That’s ethnic cleansing. Moving down the road a bit while Hamas gets wiped out seems a wise move.

          What really grinds my gears, are people who purposefully immigrated to both Gaza, and as Israeli settlers, just to have as many kids as possible to increase the population, then use their own kids as throwaway tokens in a fully expected conflict.

          Having double nationality and now asking “their countries” to avacuate them, is just extra insulting.

          True that’s also ethnic cleansing. Hm. Maybe some country shouldn’t be engaged in ethnic cleansing. Maybe that’s the actual problem.

            Yes, Hamas’ entire existence is built on their charter to ethnically cleanse the Israelis…

      Palestinian militants have a history of establishing enclaves and starting civil wars within the countries that host them. Arab countries have an apprehension about allowing too many Palestinians in because of this history.

        This was a sad thing to learn about. Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, Kuwait. All of them saw civil war or strife after taking in Palestinians :/.

        Palestinian Iranian backed militants have a history of establishing enclaves and starting civil wars within the countries that host them. because of this history.

          Yes, Iranian regimes have provided material aid to Palestinian militants towards their goals. That aid is still being provided, hence continuing apprehension.

        Would it work for a larger country to fly in refugees, since hopefully they’d be much more resistant to civil wars? It’d be hard to sell your citizens on spending that much on non-citizens though.

            They don’t all need to go one place, but I agree it’s unlikely to happen.

            This is potentially larger than the rwandan genocide if you count all 2M inhabitants. We can’t just let all these people die.

              Right? We could split them up more, basically make the entire population a refugee diaspora split among various Arab countries, but then that means the Jewish people just did to another people what they claim was bad for them. Plus, isn’t forcing migration is basically genocide? We can’t condemn Stalin for doing the same thing a country we support is doing.

                Yeah, that’d be pretty terrible. But letting them be killed would be a lot worse. If there aren’t enough supplies able to get in, and countries don’t want to force Israel, it might be the lesser of two evils.

          That is a better solution for those who want to flee or have the means or freedom to flee, or are ok with abandoning their communities and historical ties. However this would only help those refugees. For those who remain the situation will remain untenable until militants stop rising to power within Palestinian territories, and Israel negotiates a two state solution that involves giving up some land.
