Biden’s Insane Plan to Offer Refugee Status to Gazans Draws Fire

In his flattest brainwave but, President Joe Biden hopes to import refugees from the Gaza Strip. This rotten idea needs to be blasted with a drone.

After reviewing inner federal paperwork, CBS News’ Camilo Montoya-Galvez reported April 30 that Biden desires “refugee status” for sure Gazans. This designation “offers beneficiaries permanent residency, resettlement benefits like housing assistance, and a path to American citizenship.”

What might go fallacious? 

Plenty.

Biden’s proposed immigrants might be Hamas terrorists. Chances are, they no less than could be Hamas supporters.

The Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research’s April 15 ballot of 750 Gazans discovered that 59% need a postwar “return of Hamas.” Also, 71% call “correct” Hamas’ “offensive towards Israel on 7 October.” Meanwhile, 93% of Gazans “think Hamas did not commit war crimes during the current war.”

America ought to spurn a inhabitants during which seven of each 10 individuals applaud the unprovoked bloodbath of 1,200 harmless Israelis, whom Hamas raped, killed, mutilated, and incinerated. Dead infants occupied ovens. Jews in ovens: Sound acquainted?

Hamas assassins gunned down motorists who drove via southern Israel. They fatally shot households as they slept. Hamas cutthroats paraglided into the Nova Festival and slaughtered 370 ravers who danced till daybreak. For God’s sake, who kills music followers?

As a rescuer who encountered Nova’s useless recalled in a short lived Manhattan-based exhibition about this atrocity: “In some cases, [Hamas] set them on fire and burned them in such a way that when we examined them, we suddenly realized what had appeared to us as one person was actually three.”

Oct. 7 was the worst single-day orgy of Jew killing since Auschwitz. And 71% of Gazans approve. 

Yet, that is Biden’s subsequent reservoir of immigrants? Is there a backside to this buffoon’s idiocy?

With a real per capita gross domestic product of $5,700 in 2022, per the CIA’s World Fact Book, Gaza is barely poorer than Nicaragua. On that metric, Gaza ranks 165^th amongst 224 nations. (America is No. 14.) Thanks to Hamas’ monomaniacal concentrate on butchering Jews, relatively than boosting prosperity, few Gazans supply abilities that America wants.

Typical Gazans neither perceive nor respect constitutional republicanism, the rule of legislation, particular person liberty, or any of America’s different founding and guiding rules. Freedom House observes: “No open elections for any office have been held in Gaza since 2006.”

Gaza’s faculties train anti-Jewish hate. Textbooks deny the 3,500-year presence of Jews in Israel and even erase the Hebrew names of its cities, e.g., rechristening Tel Aviv as “Tel al-Rabia.”

“Children are taught that waging jihad is a religious duty,” the Middle East Media Research Institute studies. “The messages imparted to children are replete with [antisemitic] motifs that demonize the Jews, presenting them as the eternal enemies of the Muslims, as subhuman ‘descendants of apes and pigs,’ and as bloodthirsty savages with whom no dialogue or reconciliation is possible.”

As antisemitism explodes from coast to coast, America ought to reject individuals who have simmered in anti-Jewish venom since kindergarten.

If Gazans search security—maybe whereas the Israel Defense Forces get on with it, enter Rafah, and exterminate each final Hamas rat—then why not transfer to Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, or (what an idea!) the West Bank? Why bypass these Arab locations and, as an alternative, jet 12 hours to America?

“We give billions of dollars to Egypt,” Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., famous on “Fox & Friends” on Wednesday. “The IMF bails them out every other Thursday, with our permission. President Biden needs to call Egypt and tell them to do their part.”

So far, Biden has let 9.4 million illegal aliens break into America. These invaders are wrecking U.S. cities and states. They are swelling authorities budgets, exhausting municipal companies, clogging public faculties, and mountaineering crime charges. To this, the execrable Biden chants, “More! More! More!”

Even worse, Biden squanders a mind-blowing $320 million to construct a short lived Mediterranean pier to pace humanitarian assist to Gaza. That’s proper: One-third of a billion {dollars} to invigorate the identical territory that America arms Israel to pacify. How jaw-droppingly incoherent. 

Oddly sufficient, President Franklin Roosevelt by no means spent $1 to erect a pier off Bremerhaven to ship free meals and blankets to dem deutschen Volk whereas Allied forces bombed Adolf Hitler. Why not annihilate Hamas after which take into account a mini-Marshall plan to rebuild a pleasant Gaza? As common, Biden has every thing ass-backward.

To add near-injury to this insult, on April 24, terrorists fired mortar shells at a coastal “marshaling area” for the pier’s development. This is the ingratitude that Biden’s extravagance underwrites.

The second that first projectile landed, U.S. GIs ought to have flipped off Hamas, boarded their boats, and sped the hell away.

Biden does all of this to impress Muslim voters in Dearborn, Michigan, and safe Michigan’s 15 electoral votes. Period. If sustaining energy and management requires that Biden wave poor, unskilled, anti-democratic antisemites into America, so be it.

Political calculations get no extra mercenary.

If Biden possessed even a drop of disgrace, he would ditch this rotten concept and dedicate his fading colleges to securing Edan Alexander, Itay Chen, Sagui Dekel-Chen, Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Omer Neutra, and Keith Siegel. These forgotten U.S. hostages—nonetheless held by Hamas—are the one individuals in Gaza whom America ought to welcome.
