As a compassionate gesture we accept I'll children from Gaza but will they return?

Israel has the capacity to help some of these children and there I not a huge outrage from Palestinian health professionals in Israel that this is not the case. You don't have mass strikes of Palestin Ian demanding access to Israeli hospitals for Gazan chikdren. It p%&es me off when comparisons are made of Israel and the third Reich when Israel is actively wanting to recruit more Palestinian health professionals...that is anti semtic.

sorry this is gesture politics that doesn't make any sense given health facilities in the region. Health inequality more generally would be a more interesting question.

Interesting paper here on Palestinian representation in Israeli healthcare professions and it is significant as would be expected in a but i ethnic society..

It begs the question why Arab health professionals in Israeli hospitals aren't going on strike until the hospitals start treating Gazans. Indeed the Arabs working in Israeli healthcare provide taxes to the Israeli government ta significant proportion of which is spent on the milotary. Arabs working in hospitals I. Two Aviv probably are quite sanguine about his.

The middle East is a lot more complex than this on the left think.

It's right that Jordan takes in children as it is a state with close affiliation with the Palestinians. However doing some research as suggested Jordan and Egypt have great fears of increasing immigration of Palestinians because of potential destabilization of their governments. It may the case that in future mass migration of Ga Gazans may be a tropical point so that should be interesting.

There are millions of children in the developing world that would benefit from world class free treatment in UK hospitals but it simply fantasy to say this can heppen. By cherry picking Gazan children it seems like a crass political point made by a focus group. Are the British government going to get money back from Israel, nope.

People recognise virtue signalling when they see it.

The point is we have a large section of the population resentful of immigration and asylum which the government recognises her we see here exceptions being made for Gaza. If nothing else it's a vote loser and panders to the far right.

There is a strange optimism about people thinking incredibly traumatised children with possible amputations who have not been educated in a war zone in 12 years time having the qualifications needed to outperform UK students in getting posts for medicine or other professions. Where is the logic? A lot of any potential refugees may not have good command of English or significant qualifications hence will just be another target for the far right exacerbating social divisons in the country.

Of you Google 'best hospitals in Saudi Arabia and Dubai' the facilities are fantastic so there are other options. Many gulf states are incredibly rich and could provide great facilities for the people they purportedly support.

We also have to look at cost. It is good Jordan is accepting child casualties but it is opaque who is paying for the treatment and whether the Jordanian government is getting any financial support for providing the healthcare. As children in Jordanian hospitals aren't likely to return to Gaza the Jordanian government are probably touchy about whether treatment of ill children is the thin edge of the wedge into accepting Palestinian refugees.

To take on foreign children for expensive treatment from an NHS WHO can't service it's own population is bound to ruffle feathers and how has the capacity in paediatric departments suddenly increased from no where? We are spending tax payers money on feature politics and if we are setting a precedent for accepting ill children from abroad how is that going to be suatainable? I am surprised no one has accused the British government of supporting ethnic cleansing by accepting children who will likely not return to Gaza.

I think people really do have a point about Palestinian children of allowed to stay being prone to radicalisation. I am saying this not as a racist stereotype but our of being genuinely concerned about a lot of these children having kind standing grievances against Israelis and by extension Jews. It would be disingenuous to think that these children after what they have witnessed or suffered to be accepting of a society where Israel is accepted as a state and an ally. In terms of history the children would learn a while new world viewpoint in the UK that would utterly contradict what they learned in Hamas ran schools in Gaza leading to utter confusion and the children would probably feel they were being indoctrinated. Immersed in UK/US culture the children would feel very much out of place and God knows what their future psychology will be like.
