So many of the people of Gaza are under the age of 18 and still in relatively good health. They could be excellent additions to the social fabric / tax base of safer, more prosperous countries that have plenty of room for them.
I'll repeat what I've said previously. I'd gladly take ten's of thousands of these young people here in Canada, as long as they're not yet radicalized. We need the population growth to sustain our tax base and way of life. We have vibrant communities of people from around the world, living relatively peacefully, adjacent one another. I'd love for a significant number of these young Palestinian folks to have a chance to come here. We need laborers and those willing to become skilled laborers like crazy. Hell, we're having a hard time filling the ranks of our military, despite offering among the highest salaries and best benefit packages in the world to our troops. We've recently opened recruiting for permanent residents, after years of only allowing citizens to join.
I'd love to get these young people away from such a dire situation, stuck between a rock and a hard place. I wish we had the political will to volunteer our vast country as a safe haven for a significant quantity of them.
