Perhaps if Europe claims to care about human rights so much, they should simply stop funding, supporting or otherwise enabling a genocidal state?

You mean Hamas, right?

So, all those more or less rich mulsim countries in the area they better spent billions on stupid megalomaniac construction projects in the desert, on weapons production and war mongering but they can't take in as refugees the very people they are encouraging and arming to fight. And all of that because Israel is wrong in what they are doing. Did I miss anything?

Do you understand the sheer scale of a million refugees? That these refugees will never be allowed back?

[–] JohnEdwa@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

A sixth of the current Ukranian refugees, I believe.

Yeah, the fact that their militaries are equally as useless without US bases lol.

Living example: Yemen

Sometimes I wish the USA would leave just so I can watch Iran and KSA kick each other in the crotch, and then get promptly invaded by Yemen.

Allowing Gazans to be made into refugees (again) is participating in the ethnic cleansing of Palestine.

Israel will be happy if they move.

Yeah let's not just pretend this is an easy issue. These people can permanently give up their home and and become permanent residents in whatever country they flee to just because Israel would never let them back in.

And 1million is a lot of people to calm down and care for after their houses were bombed to rubble so the crater marked earth could be turned into a night club for tourists to the worlds largest open museum.

Egypt isn't wrong to say this is an impossible choice to make. Especially while no one can punish the bullies. Heck no one can even disagree with the bully anymore. They may be hypocrites but doesn't mean their isn't truth in it.

[–] mlg@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

this also implies that Egypt, or rather their current government does not care about human rights so much.

I will find every reason to hate on sisi lmao

I mean.... This is a known fact. This is what tipped these idiots off

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

There's a lot of Europe in Europe.

The ones that should be taking in refugees are the very same who very openly went to lick Netanyahu's arse in Israel whilst he was having his people kill children by the 1000s in Gaza: Mr Sunak, Monsieur Macron and Herr Scholz.

What a dickhead response, real humanitarian right there.
