Analysts expect only token mention of the expulsion from human rights organizations and expressions of "concern."
Kuwait City, December 4 - Officials from the palace of the Emir, Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah Nawaf, announced today that this Persian Gulf country will forcibly remove residents of Palestinian ancestry, not specifically because of animus toward the group, which the officials acknowledged they do feel, but more to thumb their noses at the Jewish State, which cannot so much as lift a finger against Palestinians without international condemnation and a global uproar alleging the worst crimes.
The Kuwaiti emir will expel most, if not all, of the approximately 80,000 Palestinians living in Kuwait by June 2025, palace spokesmen declared Monday. The move will take place to demonstrate the impunity that Arab and other countries enjoy when they mistreat Palestinians, indicating the high diplomatic status those countries occupy, whereas lowly Israel faces calumny and pressure for even the most rudimentary self-defense measures that any other nation on Earth could implement without attracting notice at all, let alone scathing criticism.
"His Highness does not share the sentiments of détente all too prevalent in the region of late," stated Prince Injuz Faiss, referring to the raft of peace agreements and formal diplomatic contacts between Israel and various Gulf states beginning in 2020. "In his exalted opinion, the Zionist entity must remain an object of disdain, animosity, and mockery, not to mention firm resistance. In keeping with that assessment, His Highness has ordered that the Emirate expel at least twenty thousand Palestinians, sticking our tongues out at Israel as we do so."
Analysts indeed expect only token mention of the expulsion from human rights organizations and expressions of "concern" from other governments - whereas even the slightest hint by Israel, and most often even in the absence of any such hint, that it intends to combat the constant threat of terrorism by removing hostile populations, triggers an overwhelming diplomatic and rhetorical backlash from the same NGOs, international bodies, and governments worldwide. Observers note that most such entities involved in the criticism do not even require actual evidence of Israeli "ethnic cleansing" policies, or other alleged crimes, to trigger the denunciations.
Kuwait does have a history of hatred for Palestinians, which analysts believe also factors into the announcement. In August 1990, Iraqi President Saddam Hussein launched an invasion and annexation of Kuwait, both because his regime owed billions to the oil-rich nation and because he coveted the oil revenue itself. To mitigate Arab criticism of his imperialism, the dictator declared that his action took place in support of the Palestinian cause. Relations soured thereafter between Kuwait and the Palestine Liberation Organization; Palestinian exodus began during Iraqi occupation, in fears of reprisals, and after its liberation from Iraq's clutches in February 1991, the emirate expelled the more than 300,000 Palestinians living there at the time, and only a fraction have been allowed to return since.
