The moral position then for those who oppose it, is to allow those who wish to leave Gaza into countries that support the Palestinian people. Ireland and Spain come to mind, Qatar as well could take it thousands, they have the money.
- Qem 1y agoThe moral position is to do what South Africa did, end apartheid.
- GuinansEyebrows 1y agoit seems disingenuous to frame it as allowing "those who wish to leave Gaza" without discussing the factors that would make a person "wish to leave."
- doron 1y agoThe reasons can be many. But if you believe that a genocide is indeed taking place and leaving Gaza saves lives, it’s a reasonable Path to help is to accept the refugees. Europe accepted millions of Ukrainian refugees to keep them out of harms way, why do they not extend the same helping hand to Palestinians from Gaza? who are, at least according to this UN report, in much worse condition?
- FridayoLeary 1y agoBut if you did that 95% of the anti israel propoganda machine would fall apart. You can't evacuate them or let them settle elsewhere because that's exactly what israel wants. My idea is to buy the gaza strip from the residents and they can take their newfound wealth to another arab country and be prosperous happy and peaceful there. But yeah, the fact that no one is taking them in proves they are all a bunch of anti semites or virtue signallers. They don't care about palestinians, it's just politically convenient to pretend that they do.

- FridayoLeary 1y agoYou clearly have a lot on your chest. How far back do you want to extend this project? We can send Americans back to Europe, Latin Americans back to spain and portugal. Australians as well. Tell Russia to get out of siberia. But to be balanced it has to work both ways. Send everyone back where they came from! All the immigrants must go back to their home country. But the Jews! Where do they come from? Oh... Yeah.
- intrasight 1y agoHumans are clearly an extremely irrational species. It would be far less costly to give each family in Gaza $100k and a plane ticket than to continue this humanitarian disaster.
- peterashford 1y agoForced displacement is a crime against humanity.
- doron 1y agoNo argument. if the option is between near certain death due to bombardment or starvation and living in Brazil or ireland. I imagine most will take that choice, if of course it was given.
- peterashford 1y agoBombarding people or starving people to force them to leave is forced displacement, and so is a crime against humanity. The solution here is for the party committing the crimes to stop, not for the victims to give their land to the criminal party.
- doron 1y agoBut they are not stopping are they? If you don’t have the capacity to stop it but you do have the capacity to offer them a home shouldn’t you ? Or is it the moral equivalent to the American “thoughts and prayers “? It’s similar to the Ukrainian Russian meat grinder. The support is only extended enough for this to continue on forever
- Nevermark 1y ago> But they are not stopping are they? Nor is available power and leverage being brought to bear on stopping them. Any honest attempt at helping innocents being traumatized would start there. Then yes, facilitating voluntary movement after that would help, without also blatantly facilitating those who want to drive them out.
