The Palestinians have lost their Arab allies amid Arab regimes’ increasing authoritarianism and continued economic and political dependence on the US/West, the main supporters of Israel which is their settler-colonial project.
Right, but this is a Arab/Muslim country problem as well.
The US does mess up when they do get too involved (ex: Iraq/Afghanistan). But we cant point fingers at the U.S. for every single internal or historical issue amongst Arab/Muslim countries.
You know how refugees are treated in other countries and seen as planted "other" or "aliens". It is not like the West/U.S. treats refugees with high esteem unless their physical or intellectual labour can be exploited.
I view it as quite the opposite. It's not the US exploiting the refugees, it's the refugees actually doing anything they can to give a better life to their children/families. If you are physically and intellectually able to work, why won't you? There are more opportunities here than a lot of places for refugees.
We can't keep pointing fingers at the U.S for every problem.
For all its flaws, especially politically today, it does a solid job of still providing opportunities to these families.
