Samskara more like hasbara, am I right?

Samskara@sh.itjust.works · 12 days ago

I have wanted the war in Gaza to end for a long time.

Do you think Hamas should accept the deal mediated by Trump?

Are you objecting to him being described as a refugee?

Samskara@sh.itjust.works · 12 days ago

It’s disingenuous.

Apparently its not. I was curious and started looking it up:

Under international law and the principle of family unity, the children of refugees and their descendants are also considered refugees until a durable solution is found. As stated by the United Nations,this principle applies to all refugees and both UNRWA and UNHCR have recognized descendants as refugees on this basis.

This guy has Jordanian citizenship and American citizenship. Two countries were he can live in safety and freedom. That’s what durable solution means.

He was a refugee.

He is no longer.

In describing his history, you can absolutely include his status as a refugee.
