“Instead of funneling money to rebuild Gaza or to the failed U.N.R.W.A.,” the United Nations agency that works with Palestinian refugees, “the international community can assist in the costs of resettlement, helping the people of Gaza build new lives in their new host countries,” wrote Gamliel in The Jerusalem Post.
Right now, this is a grotesque fantasy. But as Gaza’s suffering ratchets up, some sort of evacuation might come to appear to be a necessary last resort. At least, that’s what some prominent Israeli officials seem to be counting on.
Pro-Israel Democrats want to back a war to remove Hamas from Gaza. But increasingly, it looks as if America is underwriting a war to remove Gazans from Gaza. Experts in international law can debate whether the forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza can be classified as genocidal, as South Africa is claiming at the International Court of Justice, or as some lesser type of war crime. But whatever you want to call attempts to “thin out” Gaza’s population — as the Hebrew newspaper Israel Hayom described an alleged Netanyahu proposal — the United States is implicated in them.

What did Hamas, or their supporters, expect?
@AbaloneJackSocialist5mos5MO
Maybe not to be carpet bombed, run over by tanks, shot coming out of church, that international laws around blowing up hospitals would be kept. Israel is a terrorist state. It planned all of this to gain land.
@RavenOliviaDemocrat5mos5MO
So, let me get this right, they expect better from a "terrorist state" ...
@AbaloneJackSocialist5mos5MO
We’ll at least your admitting Israel is a terrorist state. Good on you.
