It seems that the ongoing war between Israel and Palestine may result in a significant displacement of Palestinian civilians in Gaza. And guess what? Israel has suggested that Canada should take in a large portion of these refugees! Why Canada, you ask? Well, apparently, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has a “lenient” immigration policy, making it the perfect destination for all those refugees.
According to some gossip on Parliament Hill, the number of refugees heading for Canada could be as high as 500,000! Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Marc Miller seems quite enthusiastic about this idea. When asked about the proposal, he didn’t dismiss it and instead reiterated Canada’s commitment to accepting refugees during times of crisis. Well, isn’t that just great? We can almost see Trudeau tweeting his #WelcomeToCanada hashtag already!
Of course, not everyone is thrilled about this plan. The Palestinian Authority has rejected the idea altogether. Their spokesman, Nabil Abu Rudeineh, made it clear that they will not allow any transfer of their people to another place, no matter what. They see it as a red line that should not be crossed. How noble and principled of them!
"We are open to those fleeing war. This is a war."

Meanwhile, the United States might also find itself burdened with millions of Palestinian refugees. Just last month, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the queen of the far-left, suggested that Americans should be ready to accept these refugees into their communities. She argued that the US has an historic role in accepting refugees, regardless of the potential consequences. Well, who needs national security, right?
It’s clear that the situation in Gaza is dire, but let’s not forget the true nature of Hamas, who many residents of Gaza seem to support. Approximately 57% of Gaza Strip residents have a positive opinion of Hamas, according to the Washington Institute. We must be careful not to allow members of Hamas to sneak in as refugees. But hey, what do I know? I’m just a conservative voice shedding some light on this issue.
