Admitting Gazan refugees would be proof that Britain has a death wish

Camilla Tominey in the Telegraph today.
The sheer level of hatred in this article horrifies me. Am I wrong to feel so shocked by this?

We helped create Israel even though it meant that the indigenous Arabs would have ultimately have to live under a cruel occupation. They weren’t docile enough, So we support and sell the most harmful and sophisticated weapons to use on occupied people who are defenceless. We would not dream of offering them asylum even though we created the circumstances that meant they had know where to go. Why should Egypt which is a poor country deal with a situation the west created?

Love the double standard!
<1% of weapons sold to Israel by the UK: tiny amount, not worth thinking about.
<1% of allegedly Hamas supporter: we are doomed.

Wut

Ill informed? Just Google militant Islam, I'm not inventing it. I wish I was!

And I am not in any way implying that such radical extremism represents the whole of Islam.

Regarding your hint that I'm a racist xenophobe, I wish I could share my home situation with you. You would laugh and apologise for getting me so wrong.

See that apple and that aardvark? Thems the same thing innit?
absolute vintage stuff here

The public opinion poll results posted earlier were very alarming but I imagine the horror of the last few months has increased extremism and hatred in Gaza. I would have hoped Gazans would realise Hamas is, in large part, also responsible for their suffering. But its hard to be fair and rational when you’re terrified and angry.
Regarding the refugee situation… can anyone explain why Eygpt etc are not willing to take Palestinian refugees?

Right, and how many of those are from when the West Bank was annexed by Jordan themselves until 1967?

Anyway, I believe that refugees should be treated like humans rather than cargo. If they feel that they need to leave their homes they should have some kind of say in where they go. Maybe they don't want to go to Egypt just because it's the physically closest country? It's a different culture and a different dialect from what they're used to. It'd be a bit like sending a Spanish refugee to France - I'm sure they'd have a few things in common but also loads that they wouldn't. Maybe the UK would be a better fit for some Palestinians than Egypt would be. I don't know. It's also not up to me to make that judgement, I feel like it should be at least partly up to them.

There are Palestinians who know full well what Hamas truly are. These people should be helped wherever possible, if for no other reason than that they will hopefully one day be the ones in charge of Gaza. Hopefully, they are the future.

So what political party are not considered to be Islamophobic?

Tories- they are racist and Islamophobic

Labour Party? No. ( they are Islamophobic -apparently not supporting a ceasefire/some suggesting it is because Starmer's wife is Jewish rather/Muslim councillors withdrawing support for Labour).

So they can't like any newspaper eg Guardian, Mirror, Mail, Telegraph, presumably.

Next time be more precise in your wording because the implication was there.

That's not the same as saying 71% support terrorists. It is far more complicated than that.
Do we poll every refugee fleeing persecution?

There's a thread on here from last year titled "why won't Egypt help the Gazans". Sorry I am useless and have no idea to do links...but it's a very interesting thread if you look it up

@Limesodaagain

"can anyone explain why Eygpt etc are not willing to take Palestinian refugees?"

They would have no right to return.

If you can explain how, in an evacuation situation, you can reliably tell t’other from which, I’d love to hear.
its quite difficult preventing terrorists and their sympathisers entering the country in a more normal situation. I really can’t see how we’d do it here.

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, innit?

Perhaps "Muslims" don't all think the same thing?

Edited to note that I was responding to your original post and not the edited version.

Who one earth would Gazan people want to come to an Islamophobic operated Tory administered, not supporting ceasefire country?

I can think of some reasons...

Doesn’t know what sarcasm is either. No surprised there

So I assume that would be the same if they came to the Uk? They would have no right to return?

I don't know, but I imagine those who have been vocal about hating Hamas in the past could be prioritised and then interviewed. Background checks? I don't know. I just believe that refugees should have some kind of say in what happens to them, that's all.

I don't, however, think terrorists or their supporters should have any say in what happens to them so I have no answers! Not any helpful ones anyway. My answers would mostly just be very sweary.

No, no; it really wasn't. Your view of me is very clear, but it is incorrect.

Love insulting people instead of presenting a well balanced counter argument?
Of course, you do.

You think the UK is more racist now than it was 50 years ago?

@GeneralPeter that was a really informative and well written post

It hasn't had much coverage but an asylum seeker in hartlepool murdered a random person "for Palestine."https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tees-68899601
Given our govts uselessness at vetting asylum seekers it is reckless to suggest giving asylum seekers from Palestine refuge, they would have no idea whether Hamas were also amongst them and world put Jewish people at high risk. Their first responsibility should be to British citizens.

I wasn't living in the UK 50 years ago.
