      The UN special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories Francesca Albanese had multiple panel events in Germany cancelled or kicked out of their locations by the pressure of the German government. She also reports threats of her being arrested made by the police against the event organizers.

    Why don’t the arab countries allow more refugees, it’s wild to me when so many lives are being lost… who cares about the geopolitics, let’s save some lives, it’s so sad the Palestinian people have enemies on both sides of them.

      Palestinians want to live in Palestine. They don’t want to be refugees.

      But even if they wanted to leave, they can’t. Not because of the Arab Nations not taking them in (barring what the other commenter has mentioned of them being poor). Israel is controlling the borders and checkpoints and they do not let anyone leave.
