Are displaced Palestinian Arabs poor, oppressed refugees, or pawns of cruel, self-serving Arab leaders? Apparently, that depends on who is involved in the conflict that displaced them.
When Hamas conquered the Gaza Strip in June, some 6,000 local Arabs fled across the border into the Egyptian Sinai.
On Saturday, the New York Times casually identified those stranded Arabs as hapless pawns in a political struggle.
For seven weeks now, up to 6,000 Palestinians trying to return to their homes in the Gaza Strip have been stranded in Egypt, objects of a political struggle between the Palestinian factions of Hamas and Fatah involving Israel and Egypt.
So when the bad guys in Hamas displace fellow Arabs, then those victims are pawns because the struggle is between two Arab entities - Hamas and Fatah.
However, when the struggle is between Arabs and Jews, any Arabs displaced by that struggle are transformed by the international media into the most pitiable refugee community in history.

Ever notice how all of the “Palestinian’s” so called “brothers” support them with lip service but rarely, if ever, support them with financing or humanitarian aid?
The so named “Palestinains” are nothing ,more than the descendants of the outcast “dregs” of the Jordanian, Syrian, Lebanese and other Gulf Islamic nations nobody in their country wanted.
They were relegated to becoming bedouin “Arabs” living in the desert places nobody else did.
They are only pawns being played like chess pieces until the Islamic “beast” has it’s mouth, the false prophet who will take control of all Islam. It all boils down to Ezekiel 35 and Galatians 4.
In particular Ezekiel 35:10 and Galatians 4:22-25;
22: For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
23: But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
24: Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
25: For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
Islam and Muhammed claim lineage to Abraham. Rightfully so as they are the bastard seed from Hagar who settled with her children in Arabia which was Idumea in part.
Palestinians claim the same birthright, but, they are not the Palestinians of Joel 3:4. They are simply being used by Satan and his followers in Islam, to take back what was covenanted to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. More commonly known as Israel.

“palestinians” allowed themselves to be used, they thought they would get something out of it.
They can only blame themselves. And yes they deserve it!
