      It’s 2.2 million people. It’s a logistical nightmare. Any country/countries that take them in will have a drain on their resources. They will need aid. Or, just spitballing here, Israel could just stop.

        And that should happen with them until Israel listens to reason and stops? Because if they stay in Gaza more will die.

        It’s 2.2m or 2.3m people. Remember Syria? That was 5 millions leaving the country so cut the crap about it being impossible.

          I didn’t say it was impossible, it’s impractical. The easier solution is for the world to pressure Israel to stop the bombing.

            You’re still dodging the issue.

            What. Happens. In. The. Meantime?

            They won’t stop in the next 5 minutes or the next hour or the next day. What do you do to protect the people until the bombing stops?

            How many Ukrainians refugees got sent to other countries? Hint: A whole lot more than 2.3 millions.

                So we should have told all Ukrainians to stay in Ukraine? Same for Syrians? Same for all refugees no matter where they’re from? Let’s send them back home, it’s the aggressor’s responsibility not to kill civilians!

                  I’m not in charge. I gave you my opinion. You don’t like it. What difference will it make if I change my opinion. None. Learn.

          The West, particularly the US where I am, has way more power to stop Israel than it has to force Egypt to accept refugees. They don’t need to “listen to reason” they need to be told to stop or we’ll stop propping up your entire economy and defense apparatus.

            Ok? They won’t stop in the next hour or two, how do we protect the civilians until they do?

              Are you suggesting it’s quicker to relocate 2 million people than it is to get a dependent colony to stop committing genocide?

                Right now we’re moving zero people to safety, both should be done at the same time, moving them somewhere safe AND getting Israel to stop the genocide, what you’re arguing in favor of is facilitating the genocide by keeping all the victims at Israel’s reach.

                  No, what I’m arguing in favor of is doing something we actually we actually have the power to do. Of course Palestinians who want to leave should be able to do so, but unless you’re suggesting that we should send a massive convoy of boats to pick up hundreds of thousands of fleeing Palestinians, we have no power to help them get to safety. Even if we could force Egypt to to accept refugees, we would have to get Israel to open the Rafah Crossing which would take as much time as it would to get them to stop bombing entirely.
