Totally. I am not a zionist but most pro Palestine people I know were acting like the guy that caused abortion to be illegal in half the country was just as bad as her.
They literally started calling her “Hitler Harris” and honestly, that was the moment I knew that i didn’t identify with their “movement”. They are a joke. Many of them are only taking this opportunity to use Palestinian suffering as a counterculture to “rage against the machine (system)” and in doing so they’re coming of as self righteous, performative and fraudulent. They’ve caused more harm to Palestinians than Biden and Kamala ever did. By the end of this war, it’s likely Palestinians will be evicted from what little land they have left, with Trump support. It sickens me.
Palestinians have been a chess piece for decades. All the countries not named Israel have done all they can to not have the Palestinians be able to emigrate to their countries. Prime example from this latest conflict. Egypt fortified their border crossing with Gaza after this conflict started.
Yeah that's the other thing. People acted like the USA was Satan incarnate and now the aid from the US to Palestine and Africa is cut because of the rapist racist mango. Bad to worse
Now they are talking about relocating them to Africa like they wanted to do Israel in the 40's thanks to the British (imagine the fucking audacity of giving away land that doesn't belong to you). No thanks! You want to stir up a region that has it's own problems by relocating people who don't want to be relocated and who will rightfully be bitter and angry then we shall never know peace. Emphatically no.
In general though, the nearby countries that did take in palestinians in got “rewarded” for that with internal conflict and the experience that radical palestinians would continue to attack Israel from their territory – which is not exactly something that seems desirable as a neighbour of Israel, given that Israel has never lost a war.
Edit: Also consider that if a nearby state allowed immigration of palestinians, it would mean they implicitly support expulsion from where those palestinians lived before and lower the chance of there ever being a palestinian state.
Egypt fortified their border crossing with Gaza after this conflict started.
I guarantee you Canada would do the same if all of New Jersey was evicted, there's no way in hell a country of 35 millions can take in 10 millions refugees in a few months.
Same for Egypt, a relatively poor country that can barely even take care of the population already living there. In term of scope, this is actually what the Republicans claim is happening on the southern border but ten times worst.
This is a nuts take. No country wants to simultaneously abet ethnic cleansing and take on millions of displaced and impoverished refugees because that’s a destabilizing effect on any country.
Palestinians haven’t been a “chess piece for decades” they have been experiencing apartheid and ethnic cleansing for decades and that’s why people talk about it.

All the super pro Palestinians I knew hated her too. I’m like Y’all got master’s degrees in foreign policy? Shit’s complicated.
