Why don’t Arab nations accept Palestinian refugees?

People ask why the surrounding Arab states don’t take any Palestinian refugees. Though not many on the Left ask, because the answer is embarrassing to the narrative of Israel being responsible for every wrong.

On the other side of the coin: why is Singapore so successful? By Nick Freitas.

Some reasons given, here:

  • Focus on Law and Order
  • Strong Property Rights
  • Sound Fiscal and monetary policy: low tax
  • Legal Transparency: uncorrupt judiciary
  • Free Trade

All these factors hold for Hong Kong, which is also very rich. 

It’s super easy to do the counter factual on Gaza. Imagine if they’d done the above, instead of spending all the money they got, from the United Nations and international aid bodies, on those things rather than digging tunnels and building rockets. 

It’s easy: it would be more like Singapore. Wouldn’t the people of Gaza, the Palestinians, be better off? Than by where they are today: chanting slogans about “being free from the River to the Sea”, after murdering their neighbours children and babies? I mean... it’s clear isn’t it?
