Is that the new line you retards are using?

And why should they? They're not Egyptian. They're Palestinian.

So should any country ever accept refugees? After all why should they?

Ah yes you've gone with that line ok then. I'm going to give you a chance. Do you think, if the Palestinians shipped off to the Sinai they would ever be able to return? Simple yes or no will work.

Countries don't accept refugees contingent on their eventual return. That's why refugees are given paths to citizenship (except Palestinian refugees in surrounding Arab countriesđŸ¤”).

Europe doesn't reject Ukrainian refugees because "they might not be able to return".

I knew you'd be intellectually dishonest. Because the truth is very simple.

You mentioned Ukraine. It's a very easy question to answer. Ukrainians that have fled their country are able to return if they so wanted. They have the right of return.

Palestinians who leave Gaza and the West Bank, Cannot return back to Gaza or the West Bank, the right of return is denied on them

You knew but of course didn't want to mention so I can see your intentions now.
