Why do we need a “solution for the Jews”?
Those that even today move to Israel do so knowing that they will displace others in order for more Jewish only settlements to be built. That is morally and ethically wrong!
Once there they even get to terrorise and attack the Palestinians, to try and force them off their land, often with a police or army escort as they carry out the attacks and vandalise crops and buildings.
They are not refugees fleeing oppression and moving to Israel, but are doing so based entirely on religious grounds. I thought we were supposed to have evolved beyond such barbarism? Hell, even some Majority Islamic countries don’t act like that and operate under a secular system, allowing all to practice their chosen religion, free from persecution. Not Israel though, who sees itself as above all others.
As long as we are run by bought and paid for politicians, beholden to the money from the very small percentage Jewish donors, and allow such deep meddling in our affairs by them, then things will not change.
The mess the country is in is a direct result of their own greed and brutality towards the Palestinian people. They should be held accountable, as any other state should be.

Isreal isn't just taking in the poor oppressed jewish refugees, they are forcing the inhabitants of the land to leave,
so they can build more settlements for them.
now, you tell me, just how you would feel, just how hard would you fight, if the US government decided that the town or city you are living in should be handed over to those poor syrian refugees and began forcing you out by gunpoint and made you and yours homeless refugees?

No credibility and exposes my agenda? Please expand on that vague allegation.
If anything, the only agenda I have is to see the Israelis held to the same expected norms of civility and international law as the rest of us.
Are you really also suggesting that Jews are moving to Israel from western nations because they are oppressed in their current locations and in danger? What utter tripe!

are they being more selective though, or is it just that there are so many refugees on the move from so many different places that they don't have the means to handle them all??
jorden has taken alot of the palestinian refugees in the past and they are taking in quite a few syrian refugees at the present while the us and it's allies seem to have done more to destabilize the entire region and create chaos, which only leads to more refugees on the move!!

it seems that the first step in addressing the refugee problem, regardless of their race, their religion, their country of origin, would to stop doing those things that create massive numbers of refugees to begin with!! which means that we quit creating more instability in areas just because we want some stupid pipeline to go through the area so we can make a crap ton of money off it our investment in it. it means stop creating new settlements in areas occupied by the native people in Isreal. and, it means accepting those living among us and allowing them to feel safe among us... even when they might be a little different than us!! especially when those people were displace a few thousand years ago and living in europe all this time!! don't you think it's time yous accept them??
