Letting in Palestinian refugees would be disastrous

Not content with flooding America with illegal aliens from across the world, including undeveloped countries that are hostile to America, Democrats are now bruiting about the idea of letting in a million Palestinians from Gaza. That is an absolutely awful idea. Let me count the ways.

The idea first popped up a couple of days ago, with Rep. Jamaal “Fire Alarm” Bowman leading the call:

Experts predict a million refugees might flee the Gaza Strip amid the war between Israel and Hamas, and socialists and far-left lawmakers said America should welcome them.

“Fifty percent of the population in Gaza are children. The international community as well as the United States should be prepared to welcome refugees from Palestine while being very careful to vet and not allow members of Hamas,” said Rep. Jamaal Bowman, a New York member of the Socialist-Democratic “Squad” who remains under investigation for pulling a fire alarm in the House Cannon Office Building earlier this month.

Fortunately, Republicans are not even pretending to be enthusiastic about the idea:

Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Rick Scott (R-Fla.) said they would oppose Palestinian resettlement efforts here.

“The U.S. is the most generous nation in the world, but we are in no position to accept additional refugees, especially from a region with as high a risk of terrorism, given our nation’s inability to secure our own border or vet those who are already here,” Rubio told The Post.

Scott added that “the entire focus of the United States right now should be on rescuing American hostages, and making sure that Israel has every resource needed to defeat Iran backed-Hamas and defend its homeland.”

It’s not just terrorism that will make refugees from Gaza a bad idea. There are other reasons, too.

One. As Gov. Ron DeSantis rightly said, Gaza is steeped in antisemitism and anti-Americanism. Bringing these refugees in is guaranteed to ratchet up antisemitic attacks and they’ll add heft to the socialists who hate it here. DeSantis also said (again, correctly) that the surrounding Arab nations should take in the refugees. Roughly 250 million Arabs surround Israel and Gaza, and they can surely divvy up the one million refugees between them.

Two. This claim that 50% of Gaza residents are children is highly suspect. Neither the West Bank nor Gaza are interested in demographic truth. Truth exists to help self-government. Their goal, however, is perpetual warfare, and claiming a high child population supports their insistence that lots and lots of children are dying. (Also, keep in mind that, of these “children,” many are almost certain teenage boys 16 or older who are already militia fighters.)

Three. Palestinians are bad for the society into which they immigrate, as demonstrated by Denmark’s experience with just 321 Palestinian refugees. According to a post by Emil O.W. Kirkegaard, of the 270 still remaining, 64% got into serious trouble with the law, a large percentage of them claimed welfare for disabilities, and, of the almost 1,000 children they produced, 34% are criminals with a large number on welfare.

That level of criminality and welfare dependence isn’t just because Muslims don’t respect Western laws and feel entitled to Western largesse. It’s also because of something no one wants to admit: On average, they have subnormal IQs. No matter how you test the IQs, the Palestinian average is 70-85 IQ points, which is a range from mentally handicapped all the way up to well below average. This is true whether they’re in war-torn countries or the more stable West.

The problem is socially sanctioned incest through cousin marriages. When you live in a tribal society, the safest person to wed is family. This 2022 article about Pakistan examines the problem:

Ghafoor Hussain Shah is a 56-year-old teacher and father of eight children in Pakistan-administered Kashmir. According to tribal customs in Pakistan, Shah said he is expected to arrange the children's marriages within his extended family.

However, Shah knows about the potential risks of genetic disease prevalent in children from inter-family marriages. He married his maternal cousin in 1987, and three of their children suffer from disorders.

Shah told DW his son's brain did not develop to a normal size. One of his daughters has a speech disorder and another has hearing problems.

"My biggest regret is that they could not get education," he said. "I am always worried about them … who will look after them after my wife and I are gone?" he added.

Despite the risks of genetic disorders, Shah said there is enormous social pressure to adhere to customs calling for cousins to marry. Anyone who refuses to offer their children for marriage within the family risks being ostracized.

Humans have known for thousands of years that incest damages children. That’s why it’s taboo. Still, Arab communities keep doing it. Even Wikipedia admits that an average of 45% of marriages in the Arab world are consanguineous. Bringing in Gazans means introducing people who are likely to remain at the lowest echelons of American society, which is where we can expect them to become dependent on the government or engage in crime.

The Arab World needs to take them, of course they won't.

The Palestinian community is concentrated in the Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, San Francisco Bay Area, and New York City metropolitan areas. Some Palestinians have emigrated to smaller metropolitan or micropolitan/rural areas such as Gallup, New Mexico, in the late 20th and 21st century.

2020 Election
Despite 26% of Arab-Americans voting for Trump in 2016, the President's Pro-Israel policies such as the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital by moving of the American Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem have considerably lessened his support from Arab-Americans and Palestinian-Americans in particular.[29] Initiatives such as "Yalla Vote" have formed to encourage Arab voters to register and participate in the 2020 Election and boost the number of Arab-American votes.

Reflexive knee-jerk response without having completely thought it through. Brown has proven himself to be a fool time and time again, and this 'proposal' is just another in a long string of poorly considered thoughts by someone that isn't terribly bright. Whenever there's a conflict, cultural points of friction, any drama on world news, clowns like Brown are the first to propose the US 'take them in'...as if those people want to come to the US in the first place. Sure they'll enjoy a relative calm and relaxed society but, they'll soon pull their hair out when liberal Western democratic culture is anti-ethical to their own culture, ergo WTF would they want to come?

This is a slippery slope, any writer trying to make a point about Palestinian refugees can pick any number of reason without making sweeping generalities, particularly attributing certain ethnicities with intelligence or, their rankings as humans. Roll Eyes

Exactly. Why does the West always assume that the best for these people is to pull them away from their homes and send them to live in a culture they neither are familiar with nor appreciate. It'd be like taking an American family or French family and dumping them in Saudi Arabia. Is that really the best thing for them? Or would it make more sense to send that French family to another Western European country, like England or even Germany?

House GOP members introduce bill to block Palestinian refugees from entering US

Two Republican lawmakers are moving to introduce legislation that would prohibit the U.S. from accepting potential Palestinian refugees displaced by the conflict in Israel.

Reps. Tom Tiffany, R-Wis., and Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., will introduce the Guaranteeing Aggressors Zero Admission Act, or the GAZA Act, which aims to prevent the Biden administration from granting visas to holders of Palestinian passports, according to a report from the New York Post Saturday.

"We can’t let President Biden abuse our parole and visa rules to bring unvetted Palestinians into American communities the way he did with thousands of unvetted Afghans," Tiffany said of the legislation in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.

The bill would also prohibit the Department of Homeland Security from allowing Palestinians into the country through its parole program.

According to the report, experts believe that there could be more than a million Palestinian refugees from Israel's bombardment of Gaza.

"I introduced the GAZA Act to protect America’s national security," Tiffany said.

The bill comes at the same time as Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., announced his intention to introduce legislation aimed at forcing the Biden administration to cancel visas for foreign nationals who "endorse or espouse terrorist activity."

"America is the most generous nation on earth, but we cannot allow foreign nationals who support terrorist groups like Hamas and march in our streets calling for ‘intifada’ to enter or stay in our country," Rubio said in a press release. "The Biden administration has the authority and an obligation under existing law to immediately identify, cancel the visas of, and remove foreign nationals already here in America who have demonstrated support for terrorist groups, and in many cases, even celebrated the slaughter of Israeli babies and the rape of Jewish girls."

The GOP moves come as some Democrats have called for the U.S. to accept refugees from Gaza, including Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., who stressed that the U.S. should not allow members of Hamas to enter the country.

The international community as well as the United States should be prepared to welcome refugees from Palestine while being very careful to vet and not allow members of Hamas," Bowman told the New York Post.

Reached for comment by Fox News Digital, a White House National Security Council spokesperson noted that "all refugees undergo robust screening and vetting prior to being admitted to the United States," adding that "at this time, there are no plans for new visa programs."

They would add nothing to the US from residing here. Instead of assimilating, they'd just be the same hate-filled Palestinians in new tight communities.

From what I can tell, they don't have culture, higher education, literary works, art, music, intelligence or other contributions to the advancement of society.

The warm embrace of the Western world or the US wouldn't change a thing about them, IMO.

IMO we should insists that all of them be taken to Iran. They are supporting Hamas so let Iran deal with the consequences.


I've stopped counting.

King of Jordan Says Neither His Country, Nor Egypt, Want Gaza Refugees.

https://thenationalpulse.com/2...-want-gaza-refugees/

Jordan’s King Abdullah II has rejected German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s proposal for neighboring Arab countries to take in Palestinian refugees fleeing the Gaza Strip amid the anticipation of an Israeli ground offensive. King Abdullah’s comments came during a press conference in Berlin on Tuesday after a meeting with Chancellor Scholz. The Arab ruler emphasized Jordan and Egypt would not accept any refugees, stating it is a “red line” for both countries. Following a violent attack by Hamas on Israel, the Israeli government has urged civilians to evacuate the northern part of Gaza, citing the possibility of a ground offensive.

My EXACT sentiments, FLB!!!! Instead of "The Gaza Strip", we'd see "The Brownsville Strip" or "The El Paso Strip" or "The Newport News, VA Strip" or "The Fort Lauderdale Strip" or......

Assimilating and becoming an upstanding member of OUR...OUR...AMERICAN society is not on the forefront of their collective brain stems. I can't fathom having a neighbor that still wipes the fecal matter from his anal sphincter with his bare hand after defecation. NOPE! Can't do it. Unfathomable!!!

I can deal with a bit of "diversity", but their pure, unadulterated hatred for America and Israel, their lack of education, and their backward 3rd-Century ways is just NOT an ingredient for the "melting pot" of our society.

YES!! They are Arabs. YES!! They are Muslims. As others have stated, let other Arab and/or Muslim countries take them in. It IS truly sad they can't be welcomed by their own kind. NO ONE WANTS THEM! Perhaps there is a good or a good many reasons WHY.

The diversity-hustlers like to tar everyone that doesn't agree with their utopian ideas as bigots however, we all know, not all cultures are compatible with each other. As much as the United State marketing campaign is 'come here and get a fresh start', the reality is there are certain ethnicities, all around the world where their culture, values, mores and long-held grievances just don't mix with certain other groups. The Western world ain't for everyone, same can be said for Westerns attempting to live in other places.

Would we keep them rounded up together until things settle down
and send them back?
We all know the answer to that.
Their goal is to get as many in as they can from anywhere and give them the right to vote.

Democrat? let's not kid ourselves.

They'll vote 'democrat' until they have enough political power to institute Sharia law.

'Rashid said he aims to turn Cedar-Riverside into a “Sharia-controlled zone,” where Muslims learn about the proper practices of Islam and “non-Muslims are asked to respect” it.

Minneapolis police received reports in February from concerned residents who saw Rashid wearing a dark green uniform labelled “Muslim Defense Force” and “Religious Police” and that bore images of flags associated with militant groups, including the Islamic State."

A number of years ago my wife was in Quantico for some training and a bunch of our Afghan partners had recently left, having undergone partner training with US forces.

The toilet plumbing didn't work and was clogged up. No one could figure out why so they had to take apart the plumbing to figure it out.

Turns out that our Afghan partners were going out into the woods and fields looking for smooth rocks that they'd use to wipe their asses. Toilet paper was either a mystery or just a bad thing in their minds, and the rocks plugged up the plumbing.
