What I’m wondering is does it really have anything to do with Palestine specifically?

Like, for example, if we said to any of those countries you mentioned, “Hey is it cool if we deport a few hundred thousand migrants from Central America there?”

Would they be like “As long as they aren’t from Palestine, hell yea!”

I’m guessing they’d still be like “fuck no we don’t want your shitload of migrants, leave us alone”

I think the problem is no country, especially a less developed country, wants the hassle of taking on thousands and thousands of extra people who will likely need years of support to become self-sufficient

Was already tried and Black September was the result

Did the Palestinians try to take over Jordan and create Black September?

Yes, the events you're referring to are part of what led to the conflict known as "Black September" in Jordan. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Palestinian militant groups, primarily the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), were operating with significant autonomy in Jordan. This presence escalated tensions with the Jordanian government under King Hussein, leading to a power struggle.

Background: After the Six-Day War in 1967, many Palestinians fled or were displaced from the West Bank (then under Jordanian control) into Jordan, significantly increasing the Palestinian population there. Palestinian groups, especially the PLO, used Jordan as a base for attacks against Israel, which sometimes led to retaliatory strikes by Israel on Jordanian soil.

Conflict: By 1970, the PLO's activities, including setting up parallel institutions and occasionally clashing with Jordanian forces, were seen as a threat to King Hussein's authority. This culminated in September 1970 when fighting broke out between the Jordanian army and Palestinian fighters, leading to what became known as "Black September". The Jordanian military launched an offensive to regain control over the country, leading to heavy casualties on both sides.

Outcome: After weeks of fighting, the conflict was resolved with the Cairo Agreement in 1970, which saw the PLO agreeing to recognize Jordanian sovereignty and to confine their military actions to the borders with Israel. However, tensions remained, and in 1971, the PLO was expelled from Jordan to Lebanon, effectively ending their bid for significant control or influence over Jordanian territory.

This episode is often cited as an example of the complex and sometimes violent interactions between Palestinian nationalist movements and host Arab states, highlighting the challenges of Palestinian political and military autonomy outside of historic Palestine.
