We don’t have a right to the land. There comes a point that after so many wars you must lose your land. This has happened since the dawn of time. Wars happen borders change. If China ever invaded my homeland of USA and we lost I’d just become chinese. It’s not really a big deal. My land used to be Spanish 200 years ago and British before that and Indian before that. Just live in peace and harmony with your neighbors and spend resources building a society instead of terrorists ❤

Every world leader needs to understand there rolls and expect what is yours and not yours we all live in this world together divided we will always war if we unite together we can figure out anything we need world ❤

It's no longer their land they have started war it shall be ISRAEL

I think the Arab world should give a temporary makeshift refugee status for at least the women and children to avoid deaths; soon after the war is over the refugees should come back to their home (Gaza)

His answer is NO.\nAnd it sounds like he is fine letting everyone that wants out now too stay because it would be better if there was not war... But there is war.\nTruth is the southern border with egypt is full of people trying to flee gaza. I am sure they want to come back but right now this man's ideology doesn't help anyone living in reality

Aside from this war Palestinians, lebanese and Syrians are never welcomed in the gulf countries with open arms anyways. For example let's say a palestinian persons family works and live in Kuwait and they want to visit their family whether it is their parents etc, the Kuwaiti authorities will force them to apply for a visa the long and hard way through the Kuwaiti embassy. However on the other hand Canadians, Americans and British who are strong Israeli supporters are allowed to enter these same gulf countries with ease in a visa on arrival basis. This is not even to consider war. This is generally speaking. Can anyone see the hypocrisy of the arab world here in regards to the Palestinian cause as well as the other fellow neighboring countries?

Arab world is smartly refusing to give shelter to the innocent people of Palestine who belongs to their religion, atleast until the war situation normalised. What the use of Muslim brotherhood then??

If they want to live in safety, they should stop electing Hamas who have promised war against Israel in their mandate. You can’t have it both ways. Go cope.

islamic nations aren’t allowing refugees from war effected muslim countries. This is the pure form of Hypocrisy by Islamic Nations.

Gaza was marginally livable before the war, most of it is completely unlivable now. \n\nArab States won’t even take them Gazas on a temporary basis.

You don’t get to start a war and demand a ceasefire.

He very skilfully dodged the question. Arab states COULD take Palestinian women and children as refugees until the war is over. Why don't they?

How is everybody missing the false logic that he quietly inserted.\n\nHe states a premise that Palestinians do not want to leave their land. In that case, why not open the border and see if Palestinians come in. If they do not, then his premise is correct, if there’s a mass exodus, then there’s premise was just a way to shift responsibility.\n\nJordan and Egypt occupied the Westbank and Sasa strip from 1948 to 1967 what stopped them from creating Palestine or simulating those countries into theirs? Why was there no prosperity during that period?\n\nThe truth is that the refugees follow the 1948 and the land that was going to be given to the following. The conclusion of demand of Palestine has been in a tug of war between various factions for the last 70 years.

Why dont Muslim countries help their fellow brothers and take them in till the war is over? Love and respect to all Muslims Jews and Christians.

Reporter who is funded by the ones causing the wars and the last 3 years, being educated on geopolitics ?

The palestinians are being oppressed and being a regime and a muslim country it is your responsibility to either aid them in the war or give them refuge - the women and children cant do anything against the opressors. muslim world should take the refugees in and provide them with best care. let the people who have iman in their heart stand their ground and fight but they have to take the women, children and the elderly in

Im sure tax money been spent for buy/build the weapons that are killing today. But if we don't pay those I get kicked out from my house. Maybe if we give up everything that's material everything will change? Can we survive that? This is a real spiritual war. Where\nWe are all involved.\nAnd I'm just writing to myself. \nSmile to people. \nHelp each other. \nPray.

So why doesn’t he use his influence with oil and force America to stop the war by putting pressure on Isreal. This guy couldn’t care less for Muslim brothers and sisters in Palestine. What a cop out answer he just gave while swimming in the dollars he receives

This war is really disturbing the Arab in thier comfort zone..they just don't care they themselves sold the Palestinian to the British in 1948..living example of the hypocrites

unfortunately, the government of that land started a war with its neighbor. Now the citizens are stuck between Israel and a corrupt terrorist government. Mind you the aid is used for the war effort

No, they want to leave badly, but every country who’s taken them in had to deal with their PMs nearly being assasinated. Research why Kuwait deported them back, Jordanian leaders being killed by them, and the civil war they sparked in Lebanon.

I don’t understand why they keep saying free palistine ...when the neighboring arab country can’t keep them for a while ...while there’s still a war between them and israel...what’s the point...?...

Non Arab countries really struggle to understand Arab’s view & stance on that. Because all other countries (or at least Western countries) have open doors for refugees from war zones, especially for other Christian countries. Last example Ukrainian. It’s more important to save civilians life. It’s interesting to note that Christian countries open now doors for Palestinians while their own brothers & cousins refuse for political reasons

Palestinians are seeking refuge status from their war torn country to remove terrorists Hamas from their country. Isreal removed themselves from Gaza so the Palestinians can have their own territory. But was forced to accept Hamas as the government controlling Gaza. Palestinians have not been able to live in peace under Hamas control. Who can point the blame for the Isreal invasion. Hamas who want to destroy Isreal don't care about the Palestinian people because they are useful and a tool to make Isreal look bad in world views for them. Palestinians are not being protected by Hamas. Palestinians deaths are wanted by Hamas. Think about it.

Make babies not war

He is right, the war from Russia on Ukraine should end immediately but anyway I think it is a beautiful Christian thing that all the surrounding countries are willing to let in people that unwillingly have to leave their country in order not to die. It is a pity that we don’t see that kind of human gesture for Palestinians. But let’s talk about this blatantly obvious point abd instead focus on our hate for Jews… ?

How would they ever allow their human shields to leave the battle field after they have started a war they knew they would never win?

Man answered very diplomatically, that doesn’t mean his answer is right. You see he said things that would satisfy both parties. As a Muslim nation with clear indications given in Quran and Hadiths, they must take a stand with Palestine if they know that they are right to do so. There is no grey area in wars, there is either right or wrong.

Stinking Arab States have stopped Arab Palestinians from migrating to their countries since 1947 so as to put pressure on Israel. \nWhy are their refugee camps (now cities) ? \nJordan ejected one million Palestinian refugees by military force in the late 1960’s, Kuwait took 300,000 for labor then threw them out after the gulf war because they backed Hussain.\nArabs have consistently failed Arab Palestinians and have since 1947, they, the Palestinians are their pawns and their real enemies are the Arab States but their bigotry blames the Jews. \n\nArabs don’t care for the deaths of over 600,000 Arabs in Syria or 400,000 in Yemen nor do they care of the ethnic cleansing of 2 million Afghanis from Pakistan but we are supposed to believe they are full of tears for a few thousand Palestinians?

What blockade? Hamas are murderous! Palestine is ruled by Hamas! Not Israel! Israel did not start the war Hamas did so blame Hamas not Israel! Israel is surrounded by 21 Muslim countries? Where is there aide for the Palestinians? Hamas wants nothing more than to destroy Israel!?

Why wouldn’t the west and US take the Jews before holocaust? Or even after the war when they were looking for land? That’s an argument that naziz used to make Jews look so horrible people that the world wouldn’t even take them in and so successfully justify their actions and crimes. The media is ONE BIG problem in this matter too.

I came here 20 years ago from south asia. got my master's degree from Mcgill, started a business with my husband. We are doing well, working hard and having a good life in general. We did tighten our budget, planned our finances to a T. We live in Toronto, contrary to most, people are super friendly and social. Agreed, immigration needs to slow down to a bare minimum and prices needs to be adjusted, but please step out and touch grass. There is no war going on, canadian cities are still one of the best to live in the world. We frequently host get togethers with our neighbours, who are old stock canadians and new canadians alike. We support each other. We have a great community. Step outside talk to your neighbour.

Palestine flows with the blood of Palestinians , where had the western media been ? Oh that’s right muzzled for years too many years. It takes this to wake everybody up to what’s going on there all day until Israel., and 75 years of war ! Question is what will they do to back the Palestinians at the table ? The world is behind you all think about that ? Act accordingly

Ask him why the religion of peace is at war with the world?

They had then but once they started the war they lost that luxury.

First of all it is NOT THE LAND of the Palestinians...it belongs to ISRAEL....King Hezekiah pushed them into Gaza during a WAR!!! That land BELONGS TO ISRAEL!!!! NOBODY WANTS WARMONGERS!

Looks like during this war they have lost their land. This dispute is being settled on the battlefield. Arabs not tolerant to a Jewish ruled society needs to leave

He didnt say a single thing about accepting palestinian refugees or assisting them in the war. Now I wud call that eluding the question. Some geniuses in the comment sec wud call that 'tackling the root cause of the problem'.

Israel is just like Russia. Putin and Netanyahu should be arrested for war crimes and charged for the killing of innocent people, but the UN is doing nothing!??

As an orthodox jew, I condemn the terrorist acts and war crimes of Israel. I support the creation of a free and independent Palestinian state. This will end all the violence. As Jews we need to accept that Israel is the occupying force and we need to do the right thing and give Palestinians their own independent state free from Israeli interferences. LASTLY, CRITCIZING ISRAEL ISN'T ANTISEMITISM!!!

It is Egyptian land occupied (since six days war) by Israel. It is not the Palestines land and Israel will push them out.

We are in a war. It's just not your typical war. This is one of the main strategies to weaken America from within because nobody wants to go toe to toe with our military.

I guess the Syrians who seek refuge in Europe then during the Civil War don't have rights to their lands reason they were accepted by other countries then?\n\nDouble standards everywhere.

I believe she is asking about Palestinians who already escaped as refugees; should Arab nations take in? If not, where are they to go until the war is (God willing soon) over? In a just world they wouldn’t even be refugees but alas the grim reality is otherwise for the time being.

It's all just a farce now tbh... war..... war never changes... civilians are the inevitable casualty of war, there has never been a war where a civilian has not died...

Yes ask kids in Gaza if they want to leave or not.\n\nDoes Israel need to be held accountable for war crimes? YES\n\nIS IT Israel’s job to protect Gaza’s civilians? NO\n\nWhy is Hamas not criticized for not providing proper protection to its OWN citizens. \n\nHow is this a Israel’s responsibility?\n\nPeople are so stupid.\n\nI don’t support this war. But Hamas needs to be held accountable for neglecting it’s citizens.

He basically said: they made their bed and now they can lie in it. \n\nThere’s quite a few Palestinians trying to leave and seek refuge in Egypt since they opened their borders to take a limited number of them in.. as long as they’re not associated with Hamas. \n\nHamas brought this war to the Palestinian’s doorstep in Gaza and if other Arab nations don’t want to open their borders to the Palestinians who would like to leave because of the war, then there will be an increased number of civilian casualties. Just because their fellow Arabs refuse to take them as refugees doesn’t mean Israel loses the right to defend itself from the barbaric terrorist attack Hamas launched against them. \nAny other country would have the right to defend itself from terrorists that live at their borders. If Hamas cared about their citizens, they’d have a plan for them and their safety once they initiated this war on Oct 7th. But it seems like Hamas’s only plan for them was to be disposable pawn martyrs caught in between them and Israeli forces. \n\nYou can’t torture, rape and kill 1,400 Israeli citizens/foreign nationals and take 200+ hostages back to Gaza during a depraved terrorist attack and then cry ceasefire when that country declares war and is winning. Especially when you’re still holding onto hostages and not honoring the terms of the first ceasefire by letting the Red Cross see the hostages. \n\nIf these other countries cared about the Palestinians, they’d take any refugees that wanted to leave. They clearly don’t want to do that for some reason. They’re watching from afar with their popcorn, saying “isn’t it terrible what the Israeli’s are doing.. but we won’t let them come here to escape, which would let the Israelis fight this war with Hamas, who initiated it, without civilians in between.” With no mention of how Hamas as put them in the middle and isn’t protecting them. Also no mention of any responsibility Hamas has for bring this war onto them by the large scale terrorist attack, that includes hundreds of civilian hostages of all ages.

Why don't the Arabs brother go and help Palestine to stop the war?

.. AS THE WAR CONTINUES.....

During world war 2 …. Why didn’t the Western Powers open their gates to the Jews of Europe escaping Nazis?
