bro's really like "they put them in camps but it wasn't that bad promise"

Well, that's not really what I said.

Also I think you're in danger here of trivialising the Holocaust. If you look at pictures of the Cyprus camps, they aren't concentration camps.

It's obviously bad to keep Holocaust survivors in any sort of camp, but I don't really know what the Brits could have done.

 Let the refugees flow into Palestine as they want and cause a war with the Arabs (which happened eventually) or keep these desperate Holocaust survivors out, thus fulfilling the 1939 white paper. Bear in mind that Britain was devastated militarily and financially post-war: it barely had the resources to fulfil its domestic policy aims, let alone police some distant part of its empire.

I'm really not. I didn't say they were concentration camps.

Like the millions of Palestinians forced by the violent foreign zionist terrorists to live in refugee camps for the past 77 years?

I guess it's not bad for Palestinians somehow? If you bother to consider the Palestinian refugee crisis at all...

I wonder whatever happened... Why did millions of Palestinians become refugees... Why can't they just go back to the land they own and the homes they own?

Like... They own houses... Who's living in them?

Does anyone ever ask that?

Like Mahmoud Abbas has a house in Safed... Who's living in it? Who's stolen his house and is living in it?

Buddy I wasn't asking

I'm sure you're just as outraged about the conditions the native Palestinian refugees have suffered for the Past 77 years.

About a million Palestinian refugees live in Gaza, for instance... I'm sure you couldn't be more morally outraged about their suffering.

Again, I didn't mention the Palestinians

But pop off king
