More violent anti-Israel demonstrations on college campuses and additional citizens who believe that Israel should be pushed into the sea.<\/p>\n<p>That, at least, appears to be what President Joe Biden believes, according to recent reporting from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/palestinian-refugees-us-gaza-white-house\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CBS News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Citing \u201cinternal federal government documents,\u201d CBS reported Tuesday that the Biden administration was contemplating allowing \u201ccertain\u201d Palestinians to leave the war-torn Gaza Strip and relocate to the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>The White House, under the United States Refugee Admissions Program, would partner with Egypt to get Palestinians with American relatives out of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/biden-gets-called-hypocrisy-calls-israels-gaza-strike-outrageous\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gaza<\/a> and ultimately into the U.S., where they would be eligible for \u201cpermanent residency, resettlement benefits like housing assistance and a path to American citizenship\u201d as refugees.<\/p>\n<p>One snag: Egypt has so far refused to allow \u201clarge numbers\u201d of those fleeing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/hamas-leader-gives-chilling-response-hearing-sons-grandchildren-killed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Israel-Hamas war<\/a> to cross its borders.<\/p>\n<p>Gee, I wonder why that would be?<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps it has something to do with the widespread support among Gaza residents for Hamas, which the U.S. State Department first designated a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/lawmakers-consider-enacting-statute-to-increase-punishments-for-domestic-terrorism\/\" title=\"Lawmakers consider enacting statute to increase punishments for domestic terrorism\">foreign terrorist organization<\/a> in 1997, under Democratic President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-protesters-disrupt-bidens-nyc-fundraiser-obama-bill-clinton-blood-hands\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bill Clinton<\/a>, and which remains so designated.<\/p>\n<p>To this day, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dni.gov\/nctc\/ftos\/hamas_fto.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Office of the Director of National Intelligence<\/a> says \u201cHAMAS uses improvised explosive devices, short- and long-range rockets and mortars, small arms, kidnapping operations, rocket-propelled grenades, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ukraine-is-waging-a-peoples-war-against-russia-how-will-it-end\/\" title=\"Ukraine Is Waging a \u201cPeople\u2019s War\u201d Against Russia: How Will It End?\">man-portable air defense systems<\/a>, antitank missiles, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/border-patrol-drone-finds-24-migrants-avoiding-arrest-in-texas\/\" title=\"Border Patrol Drone Finds 24 Migrants Avoiding Arrest in Texas\">unmanned aircraft systems<\/a> in attacks against Israeli military forces and civilians, as well as against ISIS and other Salafist armed group members based in Gaza. The group also uses cyber espionage and computer network exploitation operations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is the group that has been \u201cthe de fact governing body in the Gaza Strip since 2007,\u201d according to the DNI.<\/p>\n<div id=\"firefly-poll-container\">\n<p>Is admitting Palestinian refugees into the U.S. a bad idea?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Despite the use of such tactics as \u201ckidnapping operations,\u201d sometimes against \u201ccivilians,\u201d only 9 percent of Gaza residents blame Hamas for their current suffering, and \u201cmore than 90% believe that Hamas did not commit any atrocities against Israel civilians during its October the 7th offensive,\u201d a recent poll from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcpsr.org\/en\/node\/973\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research<\/a> found.<\/p>\n<p>Granted, only about a fifth of those surveyed had seen video of the atrocities committed by Hamas during that attack, but more problematically, a similar number had access to such videos but refused to watch them \u2014 they\u2019d rather not know what Hamas is doing, apparently.<\/p>\n<p>A functioning Democracy requires people with the abilities of critical thinking and civil discourse that allows them to study, evaluate and rationally discuss idea with which they do not agree. A lack of such skills \u2014 or simply of fundamental willingness to leave their echo chambers (on the right or the left) is what leads to situations like the petulant protests occurring on so many U.S. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/disturbing-discovery-made-arrest-pro-palestinian-protesters-people-campus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">college campuses<\/a> today.<\/p>\n<p>The same poll, incidentally, found that even in the event of collapse of the border between the Gaza Strip and Egypt, 70 percent of Gaza residents said they would not flee to Egypt, leaving Biden\u2019s hypothetical refugee program with a potential dearth of people to designate at refugees.<\/p>\n<p>The findings also \u201ccontinue to show almost zero satisfaction with the US,\u201d the center reported, while satisfaction for the terrorists of Hamas remained \u201cvery high.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Who, exactly, would Biden be inviting to the country and offering a path to citizen ship, then? To Palestinians who hate America? How does that seem like a good idea to anyone?<\/p>\n<p>Asked by CBS News about the potential of the country opening its doors to refugees from Gaza, the Biden White House answered with a typical non-answer.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. \u201chas helped more than 1,800 American citizens and their families leave Gaza, many of whom have come to the United States. At President Biden\u2019s direction, we have also helped, and will continue to help, some particularly vulnerable individuals, such as children with serious health problems and children who were receiving treatment for cancer, get out of harm\u2019s way and receive care at nearby hospitals in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll note that that statement said nothing about Palestinians coming to America or even seriously \u201cvulnerable individuals\u201d coming to American \u2014 just Americans coming home and Palestinians being treated \u201cin the region.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The statement also said that the administration \u201ccategorically rejects any actions leading to the forced relocation of Palestinians from Gaza or the West Bank or the redrawing of the borders of Gaza,\u201d yet another topic about which it was not asked.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, it doesn\u2019t sound like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/biden-administrations-inexplicable-move-may-just-escalated-israel-iran-clash-way-nations-wanted-avoid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Biden administration<\/a> wants to let the public in on its discussions about the possibility of admitting refugees into the U.S. from Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>In the immortal words of Dr. Horrible, \u201cThat\u2019s not a <em>good<\/em> sound.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr>\n<div>\n<p><b><i>An Important Message from Our Staff:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><i><span>We who work here at The Western Journal have fought for years against Big Tech and the elites who want to shut us down and then shut America down. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span>Make no mistake \u2014 nothing will be the same after November 2024.
