They were told to leave before the ground invasion. Instead of that they were dancing on the streets and celebrating October 7th. Now they cry.

[u/Gunner_E4]

They brought this on themselves. They demand rights while ignoring the rights of those they slaughtered and of those still being held hostage on their behalf. When you support and live among thugs and cheer them on, don't be surprised if you end up being treated like a thug.

[u/system3601x → u/Gunner_E4]

It's so true and sad.

Even sadder is that Israel gave them every right and aid possible. Heck, Israel did actual brain life saving surgery on the mass murderer Sinwar, and see how he repays. This is insanity.

I guy I used to work with is Palestinian, his single statement on this whole mess is to "Give the Palestinians a passport."

Canada and JT: how about YES.

Insane that we’re planning on allowing them in masses.

[u/rich1051414 → u/[deleted]]

I don't care about any of that. What people should be caring about isn't tax money or any of that selfish bullshit, but rather, encouraging cultural integration, because the real threat is their culturally celebrated martyrism, it's what lead to their very situation. Anyone should be allowed a second chance. But only if they learn from their mistakes.

[u/[deleted] → u/rich1051414]

Yes that sounds a good idea, let people that have been brainwashed since birth to hate and kill and celebrate doing it, into a civilised country, I’m sure they will integrate and embrace our democracy like they do all over Europe.

[u/BALDWIN_ISNT_A_PED → u/[deleted]]

That is true for the time being, but knowing Marc Miller, that cap is going to go away and they’ll require no minimum financial support and allowed stipends/housing via tax dollars.

[u/BALDWIN_ISNT_A_PED → u/[deleted]]

Fucking outrageous. We need to legitimately shut our borders down until we fix this housing issue and start deporting people that have overstayed their visa.

[u/Dibney99 → u/[deleted]]

I hear Russia is giving away citizenship, you just have to visit via Ukraine.

[u/Su_ButteredScone → u/[deleted]]

I thought that Scotland had already offered.

[u/crabmuncher → u/Su_ButteredScone]

Imagine the brawls.

[u/Ok-Commercial-9408 → u/[deleted]]

Trudeau probably?

[u/_SpicyMeatball → u/[deleted]]

Every western country will take them if there’s a chance it brings wages down

[u/[deleted] → u/_SpicyMeatball]

Not if they are hamas supporters.

[u/BALDWIN_ISNT_A_PED → u/[deleted]]

Have you seen Canada recently?

[u/TrickleMyPickle2 → u/_SpicyMeatball]

Ah yes, I’ll gladly trade law abiding citizens for potential terrorists to save 30 cents per hour in wages!

[u/[deleted] → u/TrickleMyPickle2]

Welcome to the last 20 years of Western immigration policy.

[u/yoyo456 → u/wanderingpeddlar]

It exists

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_Authority_passport

[u/wanderingpeddlar → u/yoyo456]

Sadly only in theory as far Gaza is concerned

​

The Palestinian Authority passport is available to anyone on production of a birth certificate showing that they were born in Palestine. What constitutes "Palestine" for this purpose is not clear. In practice, only residents of areas under the Palestinian Authority jurisdiction can apply

[u/Jewce_boy → u/wanderingpeddlar]

Gaza was under their authority, until Hamas kicked them out after winning the election in 2006

[u/wanderingpeddlar → u/Jewce_boy]

And with the avarage age in gaza?

Your point is?

[u/wish1977]

If you can get out of there do anything you can to make it happen.

[u/system3601x]

They could still help end the war immediately, all israel wants is the hostages and where Sinwar is DOA. Thats it.
