Hamas launches war on Israel

The two countries, which flank Israel on opposite sides and share borders with Gaza and the occupied West Bank, respectively, have replied with a staunch refusal. Jordan already has a large Palestinian population.

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi made his toughest remarks yet on Wednesday, saying the current war was not just aimed at fighting Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip, “but also an attempt to push the civilian inhabitants to ... migrate to Egypt.” He warned this could wreck peace in the region.

Jordan’s King Abdullah II gave a similar message a day earlier, saying, “No refugees in Jordan, no refugees in Egypt.”

Their refusal is rooted in fear that Israel wants to force a permanent expulsion of Palestinians into their countries and nullify Palestinian demands for statehood. El-Sissi also said a mass exodus would risk bringing militants into Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, from where they might launch attacks on Israel, endangering the two countries’ 40-year-old peace treaty.

Jordan has had its experiences with Palestinian migrants in the past. They were so thankful that they tried to overthrow Jordan.

But the truth is, I found that in many countries of the region, that NOBODY, NO ARAB, likes the Palestinian Arabs. They are being used for global politics and to give the West a bad conscience, but they are very much dispised as well. Again, that has a lot, though not all, to do with the way Palestinian Arabs behaved in other Arab countries.

Yeah, it's been that way for decades too. If the Arabs were decent people, they would take in the Muslim Palestinians and just let Israel alone. For the love of god, they have continents of land. Can't the Jew have a tiny sliver?

Palestine today appears like an afterthought in the Arab political order, with many states making peace and normalising relations with Israel Arab regimes have increasingly abandoned making any significant political effort to help the Palestinians. Instead, official support has been limited to deceptive rhetoric and symbolic gestures to avoid confrontation with Israel, and it's backer, the United States. The most that Arab governments have done in response to Israeli aggression is issue futile condemnations and protests.

Who other than woke Western Civilizations would willingly take in a bunch of trouble makers?

I forgot to mention..

Last Tuesday I saw an RC-135 flying low over town, on its way to Des Moines.
RC-135's are colloquially known as Rivet Joint aircraft although that code word died out in the 1990's. You can tell the difference between one and a KC-135 mostly by the large black nose and the different paint scheme.
We sold some of them to the UK several years ago.

They are home-based at Offutt AFB.
They (and the E-4's) don't take off without a really good reason.

Granted, this could have been a part of that cell phone EAM test but like I said, those aircraft don't take off without a really good reason.

Y'all might consider waking the up.

According one explanation I heard a Saudi National make, he said The Koran states the land of Israel belongs to to the Jews. The Saudi went on to say that he and his kin are the offspring Ismael and have their land . And that Israel are the sons of Issac and have their land.

The eye opener was when he said the Palestinians are neither sons of Issac or Ishmael and that Netanyahu was a coward for not getting rid of them. He likened Palistinians to Gypsies and doesn’t want them in Muslim lands either. Seems Palestinians either need to assimilate into either the land of Issac or Ishmael or go somewhere else, on account that no where is it written in the Koran or Torah that they’ll inherit a land of their own
