Why no one wants Gazans

You’d think that with all the tears shed, by the nations of the world, over the plight of Gazans, that someone, among them, would be anxious to take them in and give them a home. But, the surprising reality is that no one wants them. Why is that?

While it’s tempting to believe the convenient excuse, that facilitating a temporary home for Gazans might result in their never being permitted to return to the place where they have lived for decades, the claim is not relevant, because, at the moment, Gazans have no homes in which to return.

U.S. President Donald Trump, who initially suggested that Jordan and Egypt take in the 2 million homeless population, did so, because, as he said, “Gaza is literally a demolition site right now.”

Now that Trump has offered to control the Gaza Strip, it’s very likely that he will strongarm Jordan and Egypt into providing a temporary refuge for these people, but that doesn’t come without its risks, because the potential for the aligning of groups that prefer the tactics of terrorism to that of a conventional government could easily be the undoing of either or both of these countries.
