That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Accepting 2 million refugees from Gaza (~2% of Egypt population) would surely crash Egypt economy and cause many unforseen social issues.
Or it would skyrocket it.
Places with high immigration are places that are doing well. Places with low immigration are places in decline.
The extreme example would be the US. It received a huge amount of immigrant shortly often its funding and eventually prosper. The native got fucked though.
Yes. And ultimately that's what the racists are afraid of. But it's not year 1500 anymore. The "natives" now have armies and weapons no one can challenge.
It doesn't change the matter : countries that flourish have a high immigration. It is both because they are flourishing and because they have the influx of people to do so.
The irony is that success fuels success and decline fuels decline, yet people are fighting tooth and nails to keep declining because they fear the decline.
Oh and I must provide this example : anciant Egypt culturally absorbed many invaders despite losing to them. The only changes were the name of the dynasty. This proves that sometimes even a hostile invader can integrate itself in your culture.
If Poland can do it...
Poland isn't a desert. Poland has farmland. Most of Poland is actually habitable.
The middle east is mostly desert, so that's not really a reason
Poland also have much higher GDP per capita, much lower poverty rate, and a member of EU which increase the economic opportunity for its citizens.
Sure, a lot of Ukrainians travelled through Poland to other places though. Why can't the countries in the region do it with the support of NGOs?
