When land-grabbing is the goal surrendering self-pride is a part of Taquiya

Reader comment on item: Poland's Border Shapes the Future of Migration
in response to reader comment: Palestinian Refugees - What About Them?

Submitted by Prashant (United States), Dec 24, 2021 at 08:51

Dear Dr Pipes, your reader Robert refers to the (so called) Palestinian refugees who have been refugees for multiple generations. I have often observed that Muslims never hesitate to demand freebees in non-Muslim lands. They are always first in welfare lines. They also side with the political left that wants the world to become a welfare state.

In the one or two post-2nd-world-war decades millions of people were uprooted from their homes. Hindus of Pakistan, Jews of Europe, Chinese victims of the cultural revolutions, Chinese and Korean victims of Japanese aggression, and Japanese victims of the two atomic detonations are just a few examples that come to mind. All these people found peace with what was done to them and found their way to as much prosperity as possible. But not the Palestinian Muslims! A few million Palestinian Muslims have the support of a billion of other Muslims, support of the UN, and a direct connection with Allah; why could not these Muslims find a way to education, peace and prosperity? With their immense oil-wealth Saudi Arabia, Iran, Kuwait and other Muslim nations can bring tremendous amount of education and welfare to the Muslims of Palestine. Why didn't they?

I cannot help but think that these people actually are not interested in peace or prosperity. Their goal is to reclaim the land of Israel that they violently captured in the 8th century. For them, being on perpetual welfare and on refugee status is a part of misrepresentation (Taquiya) that they are allowed to do by their religion. Being on perpetual refugee stayus is their strategy toward the ultimate goal of grabbing as much land as possible.

Am I over-extending my argument? If so, I would love to be corrected.
