So few Palestinians...?

Question

Why doesn't some country just let the Palestinians immigrate into it? Do you know there are only 4 million Palestinians? This is the population of a US city! NYC has double the amount of population of all of the west bank and gaza - roughly the population of Los Angeles! I'm not saying let them into the US, they are crazy, but why doesn't Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, Turkey, Indonesia, or another Muslim country let them just immigrate in?

I JUST DON'T SEE WHY WE HAVE TO FIGHT WORLD WAR 3 FOR -- PRETTY MUCH -- THE POPULATION OF LOS ANGELES!

roscoede - the Palestinians are defined as the muslim people that lived in current day Israel before large scale Jewish immigration after world war II and before the establishment of the Jewish state.

So Gaza was either: empty at the time of Jewish immigration OR refugees from the "war to create Israel" went to Gaza and lived there?

Answer 1

would you give up your land and leave your country?

Palestinians are spread out everywhere throughout the Middle East like Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt,.... etc



The land of Palestine was inhabited by Palestinian Arabs. In 1850 these consisted of approximately 400,000 Muslims, 75,000 Christians, and 25,000 Jews. For centuries these groups had lived in harmony: 80 percent Muslim, 15 percent Christian, 5 percent Jewish.
Zionism

But then in the late 1800s a group in Europe decided to colonize this land. Known as "Zionists," this group consisted of an extremist minority of the world Jewish population. They wanted to create a Jewish homeland, and at first considered locations in Africa and South America, before finally settling on Palestine for their colony.

At first this immigration created no problems. However, as more and more Zionists immigrated to Palestine — many with the express wish of taking over the land for an exclusively Jewish state — the indigenous population became increasingly alarmed. Eventually, there was fighting between the two groups, with escalating waves of violence.

Finally, in 1947 the United Nations decided to intervene. However, rather than adhering to the democratic principle espoused decades earlier by Woodrow Wilson of "self-determination of peoples," in which the people themselves create their own state and system of government, the UN chose to revert to the medieval strategy whereby an outside power arbitrarily divides up other people’s land.

Under considerable pressure from high-placed American Zionists, the UN decided to give away 55 percent of Palestine to a Jewish state — despite the fact that this group represented only about 30 percent of the total population, and owned under 7 percent of the land.

Peace For Palestine

Answer 2

The Palestinians want their own country.
There's just one thing about that: There are no Palestinians.
It's a made up word.
Israel was called Palestine for two thousand years.
Like "Wiccan," "Palestinian" sounds ancient
but is really a modern invention

Before the Israelis won the land in the 1967 war,
Gaza was owned by Egypt, the West Bank was owned by Jordan, and there were no "Palestinians."

As soon as the Jews took over and started growing
oranges as big as basketballs,
what do you know, say hello to the "Palestinians,"
weeping for their deep bond with their lost "land" and "nation."

So for the sake of honesty, let's not use the word "Palestinian" anymore to describe these delightful folks, who dance for joy at others deaths, until someone points out they're being taped.


Instead, let's call them what they are:
"Other Arabs Who Can't Accomplish Anything In Life
And Would Rather Wrap Themselves In
The Seductive Melodrama Of Eternal Struggle And Death."

Answer 3

There are far more than that who claim to be "Palestinians". Many are living in squalor in Lebanon, Jordan & Syria.
Their Arab "brothers" don't want them, they would rather keep them in poverty as a pawn against Israel.

Answer 4

Saudi has plenty of room; why don't they help?
Maybe Muslim countries don't believe in helping refugees?

Answer 5

Because you can't forcibly move people, and they don't want to move.
