- lotsofpulp 3y agoThat is not how I would characterize giving a couple million Palestinians, who are apparently mostly kids, a better quality of life.

- hypeit 3y agoIf they're coordinating with Israel or making it so Israel can take Gaza, it is.
- lotsofpulp 3y agoIn the same vein, leaving those poor people in Gaza in this purgatory where they will obviously never have enough power to fight for what they want/need is tragic too.
- hypeit 3y agoI don't know how many times you need to hear it, that is those people's home. You cannot kick people off of their home, even if you think it's "good for them".
- lotsofpulp 3y agoI never mentioned kicking anyone out. I wrote >accepting Palestinian refugees? If I am a parent in Gaza, I would not care about “home”. I just want my kid to have a future.

- lotsofpulp 3y agoI never wrote what they should or should not do. I wrote what I would want to do (assuming other countries would accept me as a refugee).

- zlg_codes 3y agoDo you think China provides a better way of life to Uyghurs? Serious question. Given Israel's misleading and lying stances as other nations inspect the conditions of the conflict, and their regarding of Palestinians as less than human, I am not convinced they are interested or even capable of providing other cultures a better quality of life. Apparently invading other lands and engaging in colonialism is cool in 2023.
- yyyk 3y agoThey do have the right to decide if they accept refugees, but the justification is inconsistent and odd. Do the countries accepting refugees from Ukraine support ethnic cleansing there? Or same for any other conflict? There also a similar weird gulf between the shouts about 'genocide' and the refusal to allow any to escape. Someone who truly believes that should always allow for refugees. I guess most people making these claims don't really believe them and except Israel to maintain reasonable-enough treatment.
