      Because Israel will never let them back in if they leave. That is not hypothetical; it happened to thousands of Palestinians during the 6-day war, and their families are still stuck in Egypt, Syria, and Lebanon today.

        It’s also because Hamas has its origins in the Muslim Brotherhood which for obvious reasons means that Egypt is very leery of accepting Palestinians from Gaza.

        I’m not defending their position, just explaining it; Egypt is basically a military dictatorship at this point and the Muslim Brotherhood is enemy number one for them.

      They don’t want them either.

      All the Arab world may be united in it’s hatred of Israel, but that doesn’t mean they like each other…

        @Blackmist it’s not about “like” it’s about realpolitik.

        2 million refugees into Egypt would be like suddenly allowing 6 million refugees into the US. Political suicide for anyone that did it.

        Especially if it meant you were likely going to get a border war with a notoriously land-stealing nation as well.

      Why do you think a Levantine Trail of Tears is an acceptable solution rather than ethnic cleansing?

      Why should they have to relocate? That’s a factor in genocide. Gaza is their home. That wouldn’t be considered an acceptable solution anywhere else in the world imo.
