Not think about it, seriously? It would be great if either Egypt or Jordan would take a more active role in facilitating aid to Gaza but why should they take in refugees w/o any agreement with a reliable Israeli government about rights to return to that limited space? In light of events of past 10-15 years in the West Bank and East Jerusalem that have left non-Israeli citizens essentially stateless, how are we as Americans supposed to be expected to trust the Israeli populace?

You missed my sarcasm. No Arab nation will assist them or have them. And there are excellent reasons for that which are unrelated to a “right of return.”

How did you move so easily from the Israeli government to the Israeli “populace?” If that’s the rule, I suppose it’s fair to equate the Palestinian populace with its government.

This is a war for the existence of a nation which is home to people determined to make sure the existence continues. Hamas shouldn’t have attacked it, a fact which is sadly unimportant to too many people.
