Perhaps if Europe claims to care about human rights so much, they should simply stop funding, supporting or otherwise enabling a genocidal state?

Sorry fam, best we can do is let Israel into Eurovision.

You mean Hamas, right?

[–] fred@lemmy.ml 41 points 1 year ago

Allowing Gazans to be made into refugees (again) is participating in the ethnic cleansing of Palestine.

Israel will be happy if they move.

Yeah let's not just pretend this is an easy issue. These people can permanently give up their home and and become permanent residents in whatever country they flee to just because Israel would never let them back in.

And 1million is a lot of people to calm down and care for after their houses were bombed to rubble so the crater marked earth could be turned into a night club for tourists to the worlds largest open museum.

Egypt isn't wrong to say this is an impossible choice to make. Especially while no one can punish the bullies. Heck no one can even disagree with the bully anymore. They may be hypocrites but doesn't mean their isn't truth in it.

this also implies that Egypt, or rather their current government does not care about human rights so much.

I will find every reason to hate on sisi lmao

I mean.... This is a known fact. This is what tipped these idiots off

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

There's a lot of Europe in Europe.

The ones that should be taking in refugees are the very same who very openly went to lick Netanyahu's arse in Israel whilst he was having his people kill children by the 1000s in Gaza: Mr Sunak, Monsieur Macron and Herr Scholz.

[–] A1kmm@lemmy.amxl.com 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Israel should take in the refugees they created, and offer them citizenship, if they are serious about this not being a genocide and only being about Hamas. It is, after all, their ancestral land.

I suspect the far-right parties like Netanyahu's Likud would never let this happen though. Netanyahu is probably quite happy Hamas committed their atrocities to give him cover for more of his own atrocities.

Nah, Israleis should give them their homes back (Right to Return) and leave

That old movie clip about "We're sending you to Detroit" but about Europe

[–] DigitalTraveler42@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

What a dickhead response, real humanitarian right there.

[–] mkultrawide@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Actually it's the correct response. If Europe thinks Palestinians should leave Gaza that much, they should be willing to shelter a significant number of them, instead of sending them to languish in the Sinai Desert. Europe has more resources to deal with this than Egypt does.

???

Did you read the article?

[–] DieguiTux8623@feddit.it -2 points 1 year ago

I would like to see that happen. Wonder what party those refugees will vote after getting citizenship. Unfortunately they won't be enough to make European politics shift an inch.

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

A bloc with per Capita GDP of $45k telling a country with a per Capita GDP of $9k that it needs to be more generous in helping refugees is pretty fucking rich.

Wait till you see the euro response

And intentionally sinking refugee ships
