Why it’s always the Europe that should take these people in?

Send them to Turkey instead.

based Finland. They should go to other muslim countries in their vicinity, not to some distant country with no links to them.

I find it strange how people are always up to help Palestinians when it involves bashing Israel, but when it is to actually help Palestinians, crickets.

Maybe one of the many death to the Jews chanting countries in the region can help out the Gazan’s.

Why would they want to send their critically ill patients to a geographically distanced country instead of their neighbors? Just curious.

Funny / weird thing is that Israel usually treats them. Sinwar’s sister had her baby a few months back in Israeli hospital.

Why not to all their Arab friends?

Finland has a population of 5.5 million and unlike Norway, it does not have vast oil & gas fields.
There are 16 other countries in the EU which have a larger population and bigger economy than Finland.

Why not ask their supporting BRICS countries to take care of them? – those are their lies supporting Palestine
TribalSoul899 on
Makes sense. They should go to Saudi Arabia.
ZappaBappa on
Russia is still looking for people to bolster their population..
ManlyEmbrace on
It happens Palestinians have ludicrously wealthy neighbors that proclaim to be extremely sympathetic to their cause. No need to send them so far.

Shitty situation but no country should be burdened, why are the neighboring arab countries not taking them in? Hmmm
ObelixDrew on
Saudi which be much closer

Send them to Qatar? Why Europe? Why do we have to bend our knees to these people, that not even their neighbors want.
MehImages on
does it really make sense to transport critically ill patients 3’500km for treatment?
seems like an interesting choice.
would take a while in an ambulance

Good for you Finland….you’ve been paying attention to the past 20 years.
Blue_foot on
Iran should take them.
They are the cause for Mideast violence today.
Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, they are behind them all. Edit: Syria too!
elparque on
Send them to a Muslim country. They’re the ones supporting Hamas and goading the Palestinians into supporting terrorism.
milktanksadmirer on
Aren’t Egypt, Iran, Turkey etc closer to Gaza ?
Why cross seas and send the patients to Finland ?
Good decision by Finland
N00dles_Pt on
Doesn’t Qatar have hospitals? I’m pretty sure it does.
simplemav on
Why not Iran, Qatar, UAE and Saudi Arabia? Egypt and Lebanon are closer.
jackishere on
bruh have Iran or the saudis take them. I’m sure their facilities are great. Why would they want white doctors taking care of them? hmmmm
ReplicantGazer on
Why would we (EU) accept terrorists, people supporting hamas (that is essentially palestinian gov) going to their enemies allies (israel).
It would be equivalent to China taking in Ukrainian refugees. It doesnt make sense in any way.
Gravity_flip on
Because most other countries don’t actually want to help the the palestinians, they just want an excuse to dump on Israel.
ParacelsusTBvH on
I can’t imagine why Finland would prioritize treating Ukrainians, injured fighting Russia’s attempt to annex a nearby country.
It’s not like Finland and Russia have history or anything.
AtomWorker on
I like how these articles always feature photos of women and children to tug at the heartstrings but according to the article itself only 1% of the 9k the WHO wants to send abroad are kids.

Plenty of neighboring ARAB COUNTRIES they could be going to.

So the oil rich in billions surrounding ME countries are only strong on supporting Palestinians verbally and for internal populist reason and not via tangible real world actions?
MajorRedacted on
Not being obnoxious here but that’s Finland’s right to refuse.
Surely they’d be better placed moving them to a neighboring nations instead of them having to travel vast distances to a country, where frankly, they’d be completely lost with the language for a start.
Open-Evidence-6536 on
When you have rich countries like uae, Saudi, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain at the doorstep , why go for such a long distance?
hwsrjr3 on
Im sure Saudi Arabia or Egypt or maybe even fucking Iran, the country that is willing to let missiles fly over the Palestine conflict, surely they would accept them, right
Right?
Jordan accepts more than most and yet they had Black September, though Finland is definitely the one who needs to bear the brunt of this, 100%
Nevermind the fact that the reason a lot of European countries have a counter-terrorism force is pretty much because of the acts of the BSO (Black September Organization, a Palestinian led terrorist organization which perpetrated attacks in not only Europe but also the middle east. Notably killing members of the Israeli Olympic Team and the Prime Minister of Jordan, really wonderful fellows)

Having all those rich countries all around and none can take them? hy always the EU?
