    No one is asking Egypt to give up land and there are already thousands of Palestinians in Egypt who have been there for decades and Egypt (and Jordan) continue to make the ‘we can’t give them citizenship because then they’ll be unable to return’ bullshit in order to keep them second-class and make them work the most menial jobs. Palestinians are treated like shit in those countries. Stop excusing their behavior as some sort of humane response.

      Maybe. But I’m a second generation living in Europe and my third and fourth generation cousins are still treated like a ‘foreigner’ so that’s where my stance comes from.

      But you make a good point. No one should be treated like shit.
