re: #140 Obdicut

That is a huge mistake on your part. Yes, some do get out— those with the money or connections or sheer chutzpah to pull it off. But many more really don’t. Without a visa, they’ll be illegal immigrants. Where can they go to legally? To the stinking, abusive refugee camps— which have terrorists actively recruiting in them anyway? Western Europe and the US only take so many Palestinians.

It may be preferable to think everyone in the territories chose to be there, but it’s not true. Not unless you can show me a place where every Palestinian who wanted to leave could go.

I don’t know and quite frankly, I don’t think you know. I had a Palestinian hairdresser years ago. We didn’t talk politics except to rib each other over being Jewish and Muslim. He was gay and came to the states through Israel. He was thrilled to be in Miami. We always said we’d go have coffee and dish the political dirt, but it never happened. My loss.

Anyway, Palestinians are well educated out of the territories. Most end up in Britain. I imagine they do not have good things to say about their brethren. I’ll try to research it more.
