Most of the millions of Palestinian refugees living in Jordan were born in Jordan. They are descendants of refugees from 1948 and 1967. They live in regular housing. The so called Palestinian refugee camps ins Jordan look and operate like normal towns.
Maybe the people of Gaza should be asked what they want. I’m sure some would prefer living in Jordan.
Having been there and seen them, no they are not. In addition, Palestinians in Jordan do not have the same rights as Jordanians.
You have just breezed past the point that Jordan has one of the highest percentages of refugees in the world, they are not a rich country, and the fact that some colonialists want to dump more on them is a crime.
Your post history shows that you're an unrepentant genocide denier, so don't try to pretend that you care what the people of Gaza want. Especially not when your original comment boils down to 'they're all Arabs, they should live with the other Arabs.' Which is a much loved, but entirely bullshit Zionist argument that has been used to dispossess the Palestinians for decades.
I would prefer nobody died or have to leave their home in this region.
Arabs are pretty different. I was talking about Jordan specifically.
