Moving people out of Gaza?

Here's Trump giving more credence to the fear that Israel plans to remove Palestinians from Gaza and ship them to Somaliland, a self-declared country in the Horn of Africa that no UN member state recognizes – except for Israel.

1. How long will the people of America tolerate this? I guess unless it directly affects them forever.

6. Don't confuse being anti-Hamas and anti-anti-Biden rhetoric

with being pro-Netanyahu.

Not sure if YOU are ... but some people seem to have.

I'm just shaking my head how the allegedly "pro-Palestinian" folks (not specifically at DU) really helped their alleged cause SO much by campaigning against Biden and Harris. ( , in case it's not obvious)

8. If you support the ACTIONS of someone, you support that person, no?

Israel's supporters defended Netanyahu's actions - his brutal and illegal way of waging "war". The quotation marks indicate my view that this was not a war by any stretch of the imagination. It was an outright slaughter of defenceless civilians. At least 20,000 children alone. Just THINK for a moment, about the level of sadistic brutality and the unimaginable human suffering and tragedy behind that little-thought-about statistic.

In this context, I don't care if someone opposed Netanyahu's politics or ideology before the Gaza genocide - I only care whether they opposed his ACTIONS - and spoke up as the children were being slaughtered. If they didn't, of course they were pro-Netanyahu in the only sense that really counted.

I shake my head too, but not at the "naivete" of pro-Palestinians as you are implying. Quite contrary, I am gob-smacked by the obtuseness (or something else) of people who think if Harris had been elected, this would have ended differently. She would have tried, she is a decent person and I will never believe she would have willfully let this happen. But by that time, more than 2 years into the slaughter and destruction - Gaza's fate was already baked in and other options would be closed to her. The time to have changed Gaza's trajectory was soon after those 2,000 lb bombs were first dropped on civilians' heads and homes. Sadly, tragically, and horrifically, that did not happen. So here were are and Palestinians - as always - will pay an awful price, even worse than they already have.

And Israel's supporters, as well as do-nothing Western leaders, all will have played a role in letting this injustice and tragedy unfold.

5. Ummm, isn't that one of the reasons there are issues in the area to begin with?

Not only are you telling people to leave their generational homes, but you're sending them to an already inhabited area that's going through a civil war?

What group of generational inhabitants will the Gazans - and later West Bank Palestinians, most likely - displace so Israel can build all those luxury seaside resorts and find established fertile farmland to settle their problematic ultra-orthodox citizens at?
