Palestinians have been blighted by the poison of the Egyptian Yasur Araphat’s domination for a while now: people there are conscripted as children into the arab/egyptian cult of death in violation of all international laws regarding such conscription of children. Many there want to escape the incestuous arab/egyptian cult of death, and many will make the most of their new opportunities here.

Let’s just give them a civil service exam, (something 0bamas would never do, or pass- too much documentation required), and lets have our convert conduct it, in order to ferret out the die hards

I’m starting to wonder if Robert Ferrigno’s Assassin series is not, in fact, future history.

Palestinians in general are the most accomplished and intellectually astute among the Arabs. When they are given the opportunity they almost invariably tend to rise to the top. Racially, they are closely allied with the Syrians and Lebanese.

They are very different from, say, Gulf Arabs, Egyptians and maghrabi (western) Arabs (all of whom they generally hold in secret contempt, though they’ll never tell you that).

It is for this reason that no Arab nation will have them. In a phrase, they are afraid of their talents and ambitions. It is for this reason too that, paradoxically, the Palestinians have become the Jews among the Arabs, outcasts in their own lands and shunned by all. (A large percentage of Palestinians as Christian, by the way).

If I had to select a group of Arabs to emigrate to the US, my first choice would be Palestinians. They would almost certainly need very little supervision and “welfare benefits” assistance.

Within a generation, if not sooner, many of them or their descendants would be solidly in the upper middle classes socially and financially. In this way, they are very similar to the Armenians, another relatively unknown group who have reached pinnacles of power in the US (governor of California, for instance).

I know this uncharacteristic paean to a group generally portrayed as a rabble of semi-terrorists and bandits must seem like the musings of someone out of touch with reality.
You can believe that if you want, but I’m pretty sure I know what I’m talking about.

Their political leaders and Hamas and so on, well, that’s a different subject. With them, I have little sympathy. But as a people and a nation, the Palestinians have generally been given an undeserved bum rap in the West.

Neighboring Egypt has opened fire on them trying to flee Gaza to sinai. Wherever they live in arab countries, they are noticed and judged by their ethnicity and despised, so what of arab unity?

Ramzi Youseff grew up in a Paleo community in Kuwait. Never felt apart of his greater arab extended family community there. Youseff was driver and ignition man on Feb. 1993 attack on World Trade center.

Money, 1 billion proposed to go to Gaza, now so-called refugees coming here, who are raised to hate U.S.A. no matter what we do for (!) them. Not good candidates in the least. Let’s go for Europeans with tech and other skills who have something positive to offer us in terms of job skills, and who already know and love American way of life, willing to “sacrifice” (as Obamas loves to say) to build a better life for this country, themselves and their families: The best of our Heritage, without the socialist predetermined place in their paradigm. the miserable thing they want to flee..
