    What relevance does that have to Egypt refusing to help refugees fleeing from a genocide? Should no one take in Gazan refugees?

      Because if the government of Palestine and the people of Palestine were willingly housing a known terrorist organization, I might be hesitant to let them through my country as well.

      Or would you let Russians from either the occupied Luhansk or Donetsk oblast stay with you?

        Well it’s either be terrified of letting terrorists into your country or be complicit in a genocide. Personally, I would say ‘don’t be complicit in genocide.’ You apparently would say the opposite.

          Because it’s so simple for you eh? You are a disingenuous, bad faith actor. You know as well as I do that you would never allow your family or friends to be put at risk for either Israel or Gaza, so stop acting like you have the high moral ground here.

            I absolutely would put my family at risk to help stop a genocide. How is Hamas going to even attack Israel? With what weapons? Do you think they would be allowed to bring missiles across the border with them? Do you think they would just let everyone run through without stopping them at checkpoints?

            Again, it’s either be afraid of a hypothetical terrorist attack or help stop an actual genocide.

              Then stop armchair arguing with me on a website and go fucking help them, and take your wife and kids while you’re at it.

              My god the people on this website who think they’d be so much better at things than elected officials or trained servicemembers or ems is astounding.
