      Because sanctions have totally stopped Russia from invading Ukraine, right? And what should Gazans do while waiting for the sanctions to take effect? Stay put and hope they don’t get murdered?

        And what should Gazans do while waiting for the sanctions to take effect? Stay put and hope they don’t get murdered?

        YES. They should seek shelter and hope Israel doesn’t bomb the shit out of them.

          Seek shelter where? Every place they go to seek shelter gets bombed.

          Where specifically in Gaza is it safe for the population to go?

              You said that Gazans should stay in Gaza and seek shelter. Where? Where in Gaza is safe from Israeli weapons?

                I never said there are safe places in Gaza. All I said is that the tragedy would double if Israel also forces them to leave their lands…

                They are not b being “allowed” to leave. They are pushed out, ethnically cleansed…

                  They aren’t being pushed out. They can’t leave. They could if Egypt would let them. You have this strange desire for them to stay put while the bombs are raining down on them. Would you tell a loved one that they just have to hope the Israelis stop?

                    Actually one friend of mine traveled to Gaza just some days before this all broke out and he is now stuck there despite being a double national. I would never want for his family to have to abandon their home nor to die. I don’t want them to be displaced nor to be killed. I hope this is sufficiently clear. The ones killing Gazans and who can stop this all are Israel and the countries who should sanction Israel if it continues. If Gazans leave, Israel will never ever let them return. They will live a life just as shitty as the one in Gaza except they would also be ethnically cleansed and displaced on top of it.
