Biden must remember the reason Jordan, Egypt, and the rest of the Middle East don’t accept Palestinian refugees

  Countries like Jordan and Egypt will say they refuse to admit Palestinians as refugees because offering asylum would neutralize the live issue of Israel balancing its military operation in Gaza with human rights concerns. But the real reason is that the Middle East has opened its doors to Palestinians before, and almost every time, these host countries have been burned by the most ungracious houseguests imaginable.

  The countries said it was because of human rights concerns, but the article author knows better: it’s because Palestinians are bad!

    The author can cite actual problems that refugees caused. It’s more than just the strain of supporting people with basically nothing.

  Gaza’s population is uniquely unfit to thrive in a pluralistic population.

  This from a newspaper with the antidemocratic ideology of the modern American right. The real concern is having to add more pluralism to squash for the former president, current criminal defendant.

    Does a minute go by where you’re not thinking about Trump?

      Many of them are spent blissfully on many other things, thankfully.

    Pluralism is cowardice.

      So, dark pluralism is just the assertion that there are no universal truths?

      Talk about cowardice…

  This is an opinion piece (see the tags at the bottom of the article), not factual. Doesn’t that violate rule 2?
