      In both cases a smaller weaker nation has been on the receiving end of military aggression. In both cases civilians were displaced causing them to become refugees.

        There are people in Gaza who participated in the massacre that included Canadian citizens. The vetting of ANY would be refugee from Gaza must be strict. It will take a while.

          https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20231211-report-nearly-25000-children-in-gaza-now-orphans/

          Initial figures from Gaza indicate that 24,000-25,000 Palestinian children in Gaza have become orphans as a result of Israel’s genocidal bombing campaign on the besieged enclave, Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor said.

          The rights group’s initial report highlighted that 10,000 children had been killed as a result of Israel’s bombs, while some 25,000 had lost one or both of their parents. Some 640,000 children had lost their homes after they were either partially or totally destroyed, leaving them homeless.

          In addition, the future of hundreds of thousands of children is still unknown, as 217 schools in the Gaza Strip have been damaged or destroyed during the Israeli attacks, severely affecting the education process in the Strip.

            We need to heavily vet any would be Gaza refugees for connections to Hamas and Iranian terrorist groups. Getting children out is a challenge because the Hamas terrorists won’t allow them out. What we need is for Hamas to surrender to international authorities to face punishment and allow innocent civilians and all other hostages to receive help. The Netanyahu regime is shit and so is Hamas.

                Hamas terrorists use all of the people as shields. They need them.

                  I don’t care what you think. I want you to supply actual evidence. Do you have any?

                  There is plenty of evidence of Israel using Palestinian children as human shields. Perhaps you got confused.

                  A United Nations committee focused on youth rights accused Israel Thursday of failing to stop the mistreatment of Palestinian children in military and police custody.

                  The group’s report accuses Israeli forces of using Palestinian children as human shields, and alleges that detained children in some cases face torture, solitary confinement and threats of sexual assault.

                  Assembled by the U.N. Committee on the Rights of the Child, the 21-page document comes three months after a UNICEF paper criticized the “systematic and institutionalized” mistreatment of Palestinian children detained by the Israeli military.
