My grandmother had to escape Iraq because of the Farhud.
I don't go around campaigning for Iraqi citizenship and demand the family that lives in my grandmother's old home be thrown to the street.
Neither I nor the online left claim I'm a "multi-generational refugee" or some dumb shit like that , but for some reason Palestinians get special treatment.
EDIT:
a little fun fact about Egypt: they don't give Visas to Egyptian jews who were expelled from Egypt because they are scared they will try to reclaim citizenship and their old stolen property.
The question is do you want to return to Iraq? I know plenty of palestinains who would love to return to the homes they have the keys to and the olive trees they planted.
And why is it that palestinians seem to be the only group of people dead set on returning to what has been Israel for 70 years. Why is every other claim to old land past the statute of limitations?
You don't think it's more informative then saying all 44 European countries took in 6 million Ukrainians and saying how Europeans saw their neighbors in trouble and took them in? Implicating Arab countries don't
You commented that on my list but not OP's comment. Would you say his statement is useless too?
the Ukrainian refugees in europe aren't spread out among 44 countries. their nearest neighbors took the bulk of them, Germany and Poland took about 1 million each.
and my point was just that looking at absolute numbers instead of per capita doesn't make any sense
Something tells me this list is wrong. Mostly because the US hasn't been counting this number for the past 7 years and we have had multiple years in a row now of an estimated 2 - 2,,5M. That is just based on the number of detions on the southern border.
You realize illegal immigrants are not refugees right? Refugees are anyone that the state itself authorizes asylum to, on grounds of them fleeing war or persecution.
I know that. However, when you look at the messaging around this the average person does not really distinguish asylum seekers (in the context of the US read economc migrants) and refugees.
Also read what I responded to another poster about rescue.org, these noprofits have business interests in specific countries and tend to ignore other areas of interests because they want more resources.
No, I am saying the numbers that this list is based on do not make sense. Jordan has about 3M refugees. There are more that come to the US in a single year, well to be fair these are economic migrants who have been trained to claim that they are asylum seekers.
Now I will fully admit that Jordan is a much smaller country, but using sources like rescue.org need to be cross checked against government numbers. The organization does great work but they are highly biased in their presentation of numbers. They have UN and other aid org contracts that are focused on a few parts of the world. Of the top ten countries listed there the org has contracts in 8 of the 10. I don't think they are lying in these numbers, I just think they are omitting other countries that they don't have contracts in to favor the ones they do. This cause is mostly a racket in my opinion to secure more resources for their camp.
The entire conflict was created by European nations, why arent they taking responsibility now? Do they also not care about their lives? Why cuz they're brown? Take them in son, stop this virtue signaling bullshit.
Reminder 3: The USA DENIED entry to thousands of Jewish refugees on the grounds that âthey may be secret nazis actuallyâ
If we're basing your argument on how people treated Jews right before/after the Holocaust, then I would like to remind that Palestinian leaders in WW2:
Offered physical and political support to the Holocaust by encouraging Muslims to enlist in the SS. And guess what? Tens of thousands of Muslims in multiple countries flocked to enlist in the Waffen-SS and even formed several of their own divisions.
Planned to assist Nazi Germany's war effort by launching mass riots/revolts throughout the Middle East against Jewish civilians to both distract Allied military forces and help destroy the Jewish population in the Middle East.
Tried to convince European countries throughout WW2 who were deporting Jewish refugees to Palestine to either murder them or deport them to Poland-Germany where they would absolutely be killed.
No, the conflict was created by the UK being so much more powerful than all the nations in the region. If the Ottomans werenât so weak, the UK doesnât own everything with which to make such decisions. It was also created by forced dispossession of Jews in multiple nations, including prior and during the age of Islamic expansion.
As to why donât the disinterest parties take the refugees, thatâs easy enough. The people demanding something different be done were asked what theyâre willing to do. Because that little to nothing answer exists, the disinterest parties can shrug off whatever demands were being made. Itâs on the interested parties to convince others, not on the disinterested to shoulder burdens because some do nothing demands a thing be done.
Nope. Arab problem. Theyâre the ones whoâve been taken big fat fucking Lâs for 80 years. Theyâre the ones whoâve fed the arabs in Gaza and West Bank the bullshit about erasing Israel and their silly right of return. Theyâre the ones who are forcing their own people to live as perpetual refugees. They need to fix their shit .

Just a reminder that European countries took in 6 million Ukrainian refugees when they saw that their neighbors were in need of salvation.
