I have yet to hear anyone ask a very simple question. Why are there refugee camps in Gaza? They seem to have all the money in the world to buy guns, bullets, the simple things needed to maintain "life". Did no one suggest building houses?
Islamo-terrorists the world over claim they do what they do because of Israel's treatment of the "Palestinians". Anyone think of building houses, schools, hospitals?
I ask again, why are there refugee camps in Gaza? I should care for "Palestinians" more than their co-religionists?
If Islam puts down their weapons today, tomorrow there will be peace. If Israel puts down her weapons today, tomorrow there is no israel. May not be politcally correct to say, but it is true.
I ask again. Why are there refugee camps in Gaa? Can't they figure out how to empty them?

none of the leaders intend to do anything for the good for the people, what they intend to do do is to use the palestinians, keep them in poverty and blame Israel for their circumstances, poverty is good people control untill the people awake and understand their leaders. these people are easer to train to become haters of Israel.

Add Jews to a piece of land, and in 20 years you have airports, roads, farms, and factories. Add 'Palestinians' to a piece of land, and in 20 years you still have a refugee camp.

If the Arabs lay down their weapons, there will be peace. If Israel lays down its weapons, there will be no Israel.

עזה זו בירתם על אדמתם - וזה, כל אשר להם, וכל זה רק שם בלבד - וללא זכויות יותר

Aza or Gaza or whichever way English can not spell or say it, is being used by our political and cultural enemies, so to give us the difficulty resulted from the wrongs they have done, and the wrongs are hoping to do to us. It is so clear, so why not elaborate and tell the world the truth, and not just ask the question.

Why are the Europeans funding these Poor Arabs/Palestinians but do not look after the natural rights of the Gypsies within Europe, or pay attention to cleaning up theirs Europe's national and employment problems and not interfere with our lives in Israel?!

Israel inherited the refugee camps when she pushed back five Arab countries in 1967. She's poured millions into them and attempted to build housing but it's been refused by the Arab leaders and in some cases Israel was forced to dismantle the housing, including the houses left for the Palestinians in the Gaza. The Arabs have yet to build housing as they stated they wanted to do. It's not going to happen. Until the Palestinians say no to being used by the Arab world, nothing will change. Many Palestinians don't actually live in the camps, but go there to pick up checks and pretend they do. Many more Jewish people were refugees from their homes and countries when they were forced to leave by the Arabs in the 1940's. Israel had camps too, but soon assimilated all her refugees without the resources that Arab's have. Palestinians spent millions in Egypt when they forced their way across the border recently, so they have plenty of money. That's not the issue. The camps are a "photo-op" for Reuters, etc. Israel cannot change this situation. There are actions Israel can take to protect her safety, however.

Because Islam is all about the power, wealth, income & sumpuary satisfaction of the Satrap & his inner circle. Everyone else is expendable, Jews and Christians are to be extorted for the Satrap's enrichment.

The camps exist as:
1: a distraction from the wretched excess of the Satrapy
2: a polemic to keep the issue alive internationally
3: to keep the Falestinians out of revolution range so they can't do what they tried to do to Hussein(Black September).

The Arab countries that criticize Israel have deliberately kept the Palestinians in refugee camps to keep them poor and angry. Saudi Arabia, Iran, and the rest of them do not want the Palestinians in their neighborhoods but they want the camps to keep a supply of suicide bombers.

All of us have asked this question, and answered it ourselves so quickly that it ceases to be a question.

The real question is, how can we get others to ask this question, and perhaps understand the answer?

Dear Smaug:

The answer is before us as written in history. The Jewish people were frightened away from their homeland over thousands of years by many warriors from outside countries and other religions. From Romans to Turks to Arabs to Crusaders no one would leave G-d's people alone as Israel and Judah were in the middle of the greatest trade route in the Middle East, and many religions decided to name the Jewish capital of Jerusalem as one of their holy cities as well. How about a line from "Pink Floyd"..."hey, teacher, leave those kids alone!" Seems no one will, huh? For the world to see the truth it would take a lot more journalistic honesty than what we have seen in our lifetimes. Joan Peters wrote about the Palestinian lies of right to sovereignty over Jewish land in "From Time Immemorial" and just recently the Mohammad alDura Scam about the boy who was never killed has been taken to the media by Philippe Karsenty of "Media Watch" and you can find the U-Tube videos of the hoax in many locations now. Would you believe, that no TV station or "talking head" has asked him to speak? His triumph showing the hoax is not on the front page of the New York Times, or even the Jerusalem Post. Why? Daniel Pearl died because of the phony "Pallywood" hoax and the world came together, even with the help of the U.S. (I am sorry to say) to put pressure on Israel to give up the Gaza because of that last intifada which was one of the world's greatest scams! Yes, the truth is out there but we must continue to say it whoever we are, and wherever we are, that the Jews absorbed their refugees and there were more of them. If the Arabs cannot do the same, they don't' care enough about their people.

The Jewish people have to stop backing down. Some of Israel's greatest allies can be found at American Congress for Truth, Walid Shoebat, Wafa Sultan, Nonie Darwish, and Pastor John Hagee, and Media Watch which was founded by the Frenchman, Philippe Karsenty and France is not known to be fond of Israel. Hey...you are not alone. There are people everywhere who will stand up for the truth! Many of your best allies are Gentiles, even Arabs, who are not afraid of the truth.

One Jerusalem is a great platform! There is more truth here on this web site than on the over-glorified TV media stations.

Refugee camps in Gaza. Well, they LEFT Israel because their 'brothers' told them they were going to exterminate her. And many of the so called palestinians were kicked out of neighboring Arab countries for causing unrest. And they they had a ton of kids... there you go. It's all part of satans plan to turn people against the Jews and to get a piece of Jerusalem. The PLO already agreed before Arafat died to let the Pope control that part of Jerusalem once it was divided - coincidence? The harlot, which they will use and discard as she deserves. Pastor Hagee loves Israel...but he is mistaken when he claimed that G-d caused the holocaust. Satan orchestrated all of that (as he has throughout history tried to exterminate the Jews). G-d used it for good to bring Israel back to the land and the world was all for it - for about a day! Anyone who does not believe in G-d, especially with so much evidence is a purposeful fool. Who would have thought, as scripture says, that ALL nations would be obsessed with Israel...this tiny state. Throughout history, in the diaspora, I have read many leaders and people who scoffed at the Bible because of that very promise. They just could not see it...and yet, here we are. The U.N. is a satanic entity. Why else would roughly 80% of their time be spent chastising and passing votes against Israel? Basically what I should have just said that the short answer to the question of why are there refugee camps in gaza is: Because that's where Satan, the god of this world, wants them. "...and when you see <ALL> these things come to pass, look up, because your redemption draweth nigh..."Luke 21:28

This is certainly an interesting forum. There are so many opinions and interpretations of scripture in the religious communities. I can certainly agree that the Catholic church has been used by the Muslim world in a diabolical way, but I agree that the Holocaust was not caused by G-d, he used a bad situation to give back a country he had granted before. Even Pastor Hagee's mouth gets a little ahead of him sometimes though I know him and believe his heart is in the right place. Those who understand that Israel represents G-d's heart and where she goes so goes the world, seem to be singled out for reasons not understood by me. None of us are perfect but with all of our imperfections, many do understand that in the end times, we may not all agree with what has happened or the reasons for it, but we must stand together to save G-d's promise to the world.

Palestinian refugee camps, a creation of the Arabs, their control of oil and gas prices, along with unscruptulous futures traders, a market Dubai is good at playing, wars and rumors of wars, natural disasters, prices out of control, the innocent being killed while others gloat, and divided opinions over wars and national security, are all entertwined. Only what we do for "His" kingdom will last. The first thing he asked us to do is take care of his people and bless them no matter what! Those who strive against them from the Arab world to the Western World to the underworld, will not survive his wrath. Nothing happens in a vacuum. It's all related, though I never realized that years ago. Hang tough! One Jerusalem, forever!
