Who Really Cares About the Palestinians? | Mitchell Bard | Ops & Blogs | The Times of Israel
Is the following statement true?
Are Palestinians only cared about when Jews are doing the "oppressing?"
Why are there no cries about the Palestinian treatment in any place but Israel? Why does no one care about the fact that they are contained in refugee camps without any hope of being nationalized (or allowed to live lives as more than third-class denizens), even temporarily until a solution is formed of a state for them?
Is it arguable that "West Bank" Palestinians have much better lives even with their Security walls and segregated areas than those scattered in the Refugee camps?
Why is the slaughter of Palestinians in Syria and the refusal to accept refugees into Jordan not even a slightly important issue to the anti-Zionist crowd?
Some may argue because the root of the problem is in Israel, but why is their plight not even a concern elsewhere for the time being?
Why did no one really want the Palestinians to have their own state in Gaza and the West Bank when they were ruled by Egypt and Jordan?
Why was there no outcry when Kuwait ousted 300,000 Palestinians, but plenty of outcry during the hostile actions of the so-called "Sabra and Shatilla massacre"? Why was Israel blamed for that one when it was the Phalangists who did that? Because they are the so-called root of the problem?
Why is it that when Jews engage in hostilities with Arabs it is front page news which begets a battle of belligerent opinions, but when its Arabs vs Arabs slaughtering each other in far larger, even porportionately larger numbers, it's business as usual with nary a peep?
Is it fair to say that there is a clear, undeniable factor that only when Jews are involved that people start caring about the plight of the Palestinians?
Is the following statement true?
no one really cares about the Palestinians unless Jews are involved.

With the slaughter in Syria, Palestinians can see who their real friends are, and most are not the ones they expect.
Some may argue because the root of the problem is in Israel, but why is their plight not even a concern elsewhere for the time being?
Why did no one really want the Palestinians to have their own state in Gaza and the West Bank when they were ruled by Egypt and Jordan?
From 1949 until 1967, Egypt could have given Gaza to the Palestinians for a state, just as the Jordanians could have created a Palestinian state in the West Bank. Neither did, but no one in the world cared because the Palestinians were not interested in a state and the occupiers were Arabs.
Why was there no outcry when Kuwait ousted 300,000 Palestinians, but plenty of outcry during the hostile actions of the so-called "Sabra and Shatilla massacre"? Why was Israel blamed for that one when it was the Phalangists who did that? Because they are the so-called root of the problem?
Yet another example of the disinterest toward the Palestinians occurred when Kuwait expelled 300,000 Palestinians for supporting Iraqs invasion of Kuwait. This made no headlines and generated no UN resolutions.
The world was only concerned with the killing of Palestinian refugees in the Sabra and Shatilla refugee camps in Lebanon because Jews were in the vicinity. The murderers were Lebanese Christians; nevertheless, it was Israel that was blamed.
Why is it that when Jews engage in hostilities with Arabs it is front page news which begets a battle of belligerent opinions, but when its Arabs vs Arabs slaughtering each other in far larger, even porportionately larger numbers, it's business as usual with nary a peep?
Another inconvenient truth is that the world is indifferent to Arabs slaughtering Arabs. We continue to see this in Iraq, Egypt, Libya, Yemen and other Arab countries. The usual explanation is essentially a racist one; that is, Arabs are expected to behave in this way whereas Jews are held to a higher standard and that is why their involvement merits worldwide attention.
Is it fair to say that there is a clear, undeniable factor that only when Jews are involved that people start caring about the plight of the Palestinians?
