Palestinian Refugees in Brazil?

clipped from www.scoop.co.nz
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) today welcomed an offer by Brazil to resettle an estimated 100 Palestinians formerly living in Iraq starting in mid-September.
Apart from Canada and New Zealand, in recent years Brazil has been the only country to offer resettlement to Palestinian refugees from Iraq, according to UNHCR, which has been spotlighting their plight.

Two observaions:
1. Is this a good idea? Put a whole lot of disenfranchised Palestinians in the same general vicinity as a network of terror cells working in the tri-border area?

2. Brazil, New Zealand, and Canada--where are all the oil-rich Arab countries who supposedly care the most about the plight of the Palestinians?
