    It’s because we’re currently witnessing genocide. Usually even if the country goes away the people stay. When that’s not the case we usually call it genocide or ethnic cleansing, and these are not things we should just watch.

    Also to be clear, Arab leaders don’t care about Palestinians. The people very much do care.

      I’ve never met Arab leadership, but the Arab people I know from work and my building, despise Palestinians. (I live in a heavily Arab neighborhood). There’s definitely an old cultural grudge there, kinda like how Slavic countries all hate each other without really knowing why.

      I think the rest of the world is helping in this genocide if that’s what’s happening, since like I said, the people who want out aren’t being taken by anyone. Refugees from all nations are taken willingly enough by most Western nations, but they don’t want anything to do with Palestinian refugees

        Maybe it depends on the Arabs? This is very much not the case in Egypt, but it could be the case somewhere in the Arabian Peninsula.

          ??? Egyptians HATE, Palestinians. They’re not even welcome in the country, they’ve never been granted status despite loads movement over the years. Egypt didn’t even want Gaza when Israel gave it to them, they said no thanks to a free strip of coastline because they don’t want the headache that comes with the people who live there. Jordan… even worse.
