Who Really Cares About the Palestinians?

[azurnoir]

35. lol

A rather funny – or tragic, depending on what you think – example was when Likud MK Ophir Akunis attacked the Israeli organization Physicians for Human Rights for criticizing the Israeli government “but saying nothing about Syria.” Only that PHR did talk about Syria – several times. Akunis, who blocked the Facebook commenters who tried to state this fact on his page, wasn’t really interested in the Syrians, but in the delegitimization of the struggle for the rights of Palestinians under Israeli control.

The same goes for many other such comments. And when one does write about the Palestinians who are being killed in Syria, the responses are usually along the lines of “what makes the Palestinians so special? write about the rest of the population!” and so on. At the same time, I am also surprised by the relative indifference for the plight of Palestinian refugees in the civil war by those supporting their cause on other fronts. Where are the mass protests against the brutal, inhuman policy of the Jordanian government, which lets Syrian refugees in but sends the Palestinians back?

Naturally, I think Israel should be the first to help Palestinian refugees in trouble, for obvious historical reasons. With the current political trends here, such hopes are beyond science fiction, and even an honest debate is impossible.

if memory serves the last popular fall back conflict was Darfur which dried up as a comparative cause and as the true amount of concern is coming to light especially considering the dead silence about how Israel treats the refugees from that conflict (know as infiltrators to Israelis via government officials and media)
As to Syria while you condemn Jordan who BTW is only allowing Syrian refugees from Syria in and not all of those necessarily , why are they not being allowed into the West Bank where Israel has control over 60% of the land including all border crossings? oops we're not supposed to notice that are we?
