8. Have you studied the history of the Indigouness People of Palestine?

1. They do not want to be refugees they want to live in the areas that were given them in 1948.

2. There are already huge refugee camps in the surrounding countries. Generations of Palestinians
who were displaced in 1948 continue to live in these camps even now. These are poor countries that can
barely take care of their own people. How can you ask them to take in 2 millionmore refugees?

3. Egypt and the people of Gaza rightly fear Israel will not let them come home as they
refused to allow people who left to return in 1848 while confiscating their homes and property.

I suggest you take the time to study this part of history from all sides to give a better perspective.
