Perhaps if Europe claims to care about human rights so much, they should simply stop funding, supporting or otherwise enabling a genocidal state?
Sorry fam, best we can do is let Israel into Eurovision.
Which one?
they should simply stop funding, supporting or otherwise enabling a genocidal state?
You mean Hamas, right?
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.
What a dickhead response, real humanitarian right there.
Actually it’s the correct response. If Europe thinks Palestinians should leave Gaza that much, they should be willing to shelter a significant number of them, instead of sending them to languish in the Sinai Desert. Europe has more resources to deal with this than Egypt does.
If Europe thinks Palestinians should leave Gaza
???
Did you read the article?
I would like to see that happen. Wonder what party those refugees will vote after getting citizenship. Unfortunately they won’t be enough to make European politics shift an inch.
A bloc with per Capita GDP of $45k telling a country with a per Capita GDP of $9k that it needs to be more generous in helping refugees is pretty fucking rich.
Wait till you see the euro response
thoughts and prayers
And intentionally sinking refugee ships
that’s the prayers part, silly
Allowing Gazans to be made into refugees (again) is participating in the ethnic cleansing of Palestine.
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
Israel should take in the refugees they created, and offer them citizenship, if they are serious about this not being a genocide and only being about Hamas. It is, after all, their ancestral land.
I suspect the far-right parties like Netanyahu’s Likud would never let this happen though. Netanyahu is probably quite happy Hamas committed their atrocities to give him cover for more of his own atrocities.
Nah, Israleis should give them their homes back (Right to Return) and leave
That old movie clip about “We’re sending you to Detroit” but about Europe
Europe now : 🙈🙉🙊
That’s just a dumb take… Europe took up over for million refugees from Ukraine. Because it’s the neighbouring countries that should help first and foremost. Kind of like what Egypt could do now… But instead they’re crying that the EU half a continent away should take care of it.
Egypt already has syrian refugees and subsaharan refugees in addition to the recent influx because of the sudanese civil war.
Either way, the current regime violently overthrew, imprisoned, tortured and eventually killed the democratically elected previous regime which has ties and many many sympathizers in Gaza.
Plus leaked talks from Mubarak (two egyptian presidents ago) literally have bibi pointing at gaza and saying i want to move them elsewhere and pointed at sinai. If Palestinians go to sinai they are never coming home.
Not to mention that ISIS is in sinai…
Just another day of EU being proven hypocrites once again.
Since the war in Ukraine started, the EU accepted more than four million refugees from Ukraine. Because that’s what you do as the next countries.
You know what the EU didn’t do? Shit on Egypt for not taking refugees from Ukraine. Because that would have been stupid, right? Right?
Was Egypt suggesting that the EU should let in more people?
Well, let’s just take a look at the article…
Egypt official tells Europe to take in 1m Gazans
Oh, look, it’s literally in the first half of the title!
Sorry if this was unclear. Was Egypt suggesting that the EU should let in more people from Ukraine? Like how the EU suggested Egypt should let in more people from Palestine.
Weil, no. But maybe because the EU already fucking does so?
But it would be pretty out of line for Egypt to tell the EU to accept more people from Ukraine, right? That’s what they’re getting at. The reason Egypt is annoyed by this is because their resources are being volunteered by someone else.
To move out of a country, you need to give up your possessions and you need to have some money to pay a few things on your way without being able to work.
EU, especially Germany has encoded free asylum for people who have to flee a country in their constitution. What do you want more?
Everyone is looking at Egypt and Jordan. These are the next countries that could act. But they are shitting at the EU. Well, fuck those hypocrites.
Do Egypt and Jordan not already have Palestinian refugees? I know Jordan definitely does. And it’s not small number; it’s hundreds of thousands, maybe even a million or more. Though according to Wikipedia, at least Jordan has given most Jordanian citizenship.
With regards to Egypt, can they handle that number of refugees? 2 million Gazans? That’s a lot of people. And it’s not like Egypt is some super wealthy country. And the Sinai isn’t exactly a great place to host 2million peolpe.
I don’t think there’s a single country that can readily accept that many refugees in short order, while properly feeding and housing them, and integrating them, without experiencing massive issues for both citizens and refugees.
That’s not to say that it’s right for Egypt to snipe at the EU, especially with a comment like that. But it’s not like either country can realistically deal with additional refugees. That’s part of what makes this whole thing a shitshow. There are few good options. And the few options that are good or better, people or governments refuse.
egypt is a wreck of a dictatorship and jordan is a puppet nation propped up as a buffer for isreal , neither can do shit
