    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.
