I appreciate President Trump's out of the box statements about the future of Gaza. Also, glad to hear him commit to not expelling Palestinians out of Gaza.

"No one is expelling"
is not the same as saying there are no plans to do so

Don’t know why people keep saying this it’s not necessarily accurate. Most countries don’t want more poor people in their country. More Palestinians live in Jordan than live in Gaza.
If all the Palestinians were rich they would be welcome in every Muslim country. Countries don’t want poor people or Hamas in their country. Lebanon has been working with Israel to rid them of Hamas.
Lebanon has 500,000 Palestinian refugees and 1.5 million Syrian refugees. Lebanon has a population of 5.6 million and 46% are either Maronite Catholic or Christian. How their constitution is set up the president has to be Catholic. The president has allowed refugees to come to Lebanon.
2.4 million registered Palestinians live in Jordan. I know 1 family that lives in the West Bank but keeps an apartment in Jordan. The woman I know graduated from UGA and taught at Florida for 4 years.
3.2 million in the West Bank
2.4 million in Jordan
2.1 million in Gaza
2.04 million in Israel
560,000 in Syria
500,000 Lebanon
500,000 in Chile
460,000 in Saudi Arabia
356,000 in Qatar
200,000 in UAE
200,000 in Honduras
140,000 in Egypt
Genetically Palestinians are closer related to Jews than any other Muslims. They are both ancestors of Canaanites.

No such thing. They are all from surrounding countries, many Jordan. Palestinians are people invented to be victims brought to the forefront by Arafat.

Cuz I saw it on the interwebz, to be honest.
I hear/read they are poor, feral, low IQ and have caused problems in countries that have hosted them in the past.
You brought facts and figures, and while I respect that... it's closing in on ten where I am and I'm just wanting some light sparring with my pre bedtime wine.

Keep em boxed in the Middle East. They are a threat (terrorists) everywhere else.

So they’ll all be killed there, oh well.

Dude…you ever cracked open a history book not written by Bernstein & Eichberg?
History of Palestine in World History

Sure have. Now show me in history the country called Palestine? It’s like people in North Carolina saying call me Appalachian because i live in the mountains.
Don’t believe me, read this quotes:
"Never forget this one point: There is no such thing as a Palestinian people, there is no Palestinian entity, there is only Syria. You are an integral part of the Syrian people, Palestine is an integral part of Syria. Therefore it is we, the Syrian authorities, who are the true representatives of the Palestinian people". (*) Syrian dictator Hafez Assad to the PLO leader Yasser Arafat
"There is no such country as Palestine. 'Palestine' is a term the Zionists invented. There is no Palestine in the Bible. Our country was for centuries part of Syria. 'Palestine' is alien to us. It is the Zionists who introduced it". (*) Auni Bey Abdul-Hadi, Syrian Arab leader to British Peel Commission, 1937

You make a couple good points but to this statement above, Israel was never a “country” or “nation-state” either until 1948.

And they weren’t called Israeli’s until they had a country. “Palestinians”, unfortunately, are used as a political crutch by very bad people.

History is important
No there was not a state or country of Palestine, but there was a mandate from the League of Nations to form one. WWII, the holocaust, and a mass immigration of Jews to Mandate Palestine from 1944 to 1948 changed a country that was supposed to be Palestine into Israel
Through history the Levant what is now Israel, Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan has been ruled by many different empires and countries. The Ottoman Empire ruled it from 1517 to 1917 and lost it to the British in WWI. Under British control the League of Nations formed the Mandate for Palestine and Emirate of Transjordan. What is Israel now was considered Mandate Palestine and the Transjordan was part of what is now Jordan, part of Syria, northwest Iraq, and a northern part of Saudi Arabia.
The Palestinian Mandate was made by the League of Nations to form Palestine. Palestine was supposed to be home to Palestinian Arabs which was majority of people and to Jews which was a small minority at the time.
The French Mandate was setup to establish a Syrian state and a Lebanon state. The French was able to establish 2 self governing states. In 1946 both had independence from France. France followed the guidelines lined out in the mandate from the League of Nations.
I believe the British messed everything up. They could have combined the Emirates of Transjordan and the Mandate of Palestine to form Israel, Jordan, and Palestine. The UN tried to remedy the situation, but it was too late. The Zionist and Arabs could not agree in forming 2 states in Palestine
They got forming Israel correct, but leaving Palestinians without a homeland after they worked for almost 30 years to form Palestine was wrong.

Funny enough, that exact strategy was tried in 2006. The animals still took control of the zoo. Sometimes you just have to put an animal out of its misery, its the humane thing to do

Treating religious groups as genetic entities is one of the most infuriating things ever.

You are leaving out a few aspects.
There was a mandate to create Palestine, Palestinians rejected it (Israelis accepted it), and they invaded Israel and lost. Losers in war do not get rewarded
75% of Israelis are from the middle east - they are not a country of mass European transplants. Most of them were kicked out of their homes in Arab countries after they had their property seized
There is also a Palestinian state that already exists - its called Jordan. 70% of their population is Palestinian
As to whether Palestinian is even a real ethnicity is another question. I for one do not believe so. Palestine as a name was just what the Romans renamed Israel as a punishment to the Jews for rebelling. The Arabs came a Millenia later.

So, you think there is no such thing as American, then? We came from Britain, France, Ireland.
If you want to say that there's no such thing as Palestinians because they moved to that area from somewhere else and you want to be logically consistent, then you have to believe that there's no such thing as Americans.
