Israel-Palestine-Jordan
No one wants the Palestinian Arabs
2023-11-05
[IsraelNationalNews] Last week, Professor Amir Hetsroni posted an idea with which many readers agreed — he suggested settling the Palestinian Arabs, beginning with those from Gaza, on an island near the North Pole, where, he said, "they can continue their barbaric policies as they wish without harming anyone."

Professor Hetsroni minced no words in describing the situation Israel faces since the horrifically murderous attack on its citizens on the morning of the Simchat Torah holiday. And it is quite clear that most Israelis are not interested in having neighbors — or citizens, for that matter — who believe in the extremist Islamist world view that wants to destroy the Jews.

The problem is that no one else wants them either.

Despite the non-ending defamation and criticism of Israel because of its treatment of the so-called "refugees" within its borders, their lives are immeasurably better in Israel that in other Arab countries. In Lebanon, Jordan, Kuwait and their fellow Arab states, the Palestinian Arab "refugees" have no rights whatsoever, even basic ones. They cannot choose the way they make a living, not even who they wish to marry, not to mention the health and educational services that barely exist. Within the countries with their own ethnic background and religion, for all intents and purposes they live under an apartheid regime.

Those countries, of course, have a vested interest in preserving the "Palestinian Arab refugee narrative," because that way the Palestinian Arabs continue to demand their homes in Haifa, Acco and Jerusalem (although these were their great grandfathers' homes, if at all) and it is possible to continue trying to destroy Israel. In addition, this way these states keep the problematic violent and crime-ridden "refugee" population away from their own citizens. It is uncertain which of the two reasons comes first when the host countries determine their policies.
Nevertheless, Arab countries (in conjunction with UN) created the "Palestinian Problem", and it's their problem.

#1  The 'palestinians' are where they are and unwanted for the same reason: they hold to no allegiance.
If somebody trusted them, it would be different.
