As the war in the Middle East enters its third week,

AOC is already demanding that America accept Palestinian refugees.

Should Arab countries be taking on the lion's share of the burden to absorb what could be over a million if

not more refugees from Gaza. I think there's something to be said about the

region's partners being able to support and step up Palestinians. However, that does not abdicate the United States

from our historic role that we've played in the world of accepting refugees and allowing

people to restart their lives here.

No thanks.

That seems like a bad idea.

Maybe, perhaps, we could consider taking in the relatively small number of Christians living in the Palestinian

territories.

Not because we hate Muslims or anything like that, but because there are lots of Arab states

around the Holy Land that could take the Muslims in and

America is a Christian country and even putting Christian solidarity aside that

means there's a good chance that Christian refugees will assimilate and the ability to

assimilate matters because peoples and cultures are different. And there's one more

concern which might resonate more for AOC.

Why would liberals want to bring these refugees to our awful, oppressive, Islamophobic

country? All we ever hear from the left impressive Islamophobic country.

All we ever hear from the left is how terrible and evil and oppressive America is,

especially toward persons of color and Arabs and Muslims in particular.

Does AOC just hate these people, want to make them even more miserable?
