    Why should Gazans go anywhere? Simply because there is a war in their country. That does not mean they are leaving forever. Just like thousands of civilians left Ukraine when the war started does not mean they will never return home.

    I am not saying there is something wrong with Gazans or that this situation is their fault, however, I at the same time fully understand that no other country would temporarily take them in. Also, how my claim is wrong? How many refugees from Gaza left the area since the beginning of this escalation?

    Edit: Regarding Jews: I think it’s completely understandable for civilians to temporarily leave Israel when the war is there. Of course, only if other countries would be okay to take them in.

      It doesn’t mean they are leaving forever? Lmfao.

      Then why am I not in an apartment in Tel Aviv now (where my father’s family was ethnically cleansed from during the Nakba)??

      Edit: seriously, I’d like an answer. Why was the fucking ethnic cleansing of my family never fixed? Why did I never have the right tp return? And how would you gurantee this to Gazans?

        Guarantee is unfortunately impossible. Like in every war. It’s a choice between staying in the battlefield and risking your life or leaving and risking your country.

        Regarding Nakba: it was not right. Israel shouldn’t have done that just like muslim countries shouldn’t have expelled Jews.

        And the reason why it was not fixed is simply because backtracking all humanity’s mistakes is not possible and creation of new states/regimes usually have these consequences.

          Ah thanks, so I should settle simply because Israel is unwilling to make amends or fix annything. Got it. /s

              Right, so how would you gurantee a right of return for Gazans? They would be idiots to leave given Israel’s history of ethbic cleansing and land theft.

                  Right… I really wonder where you get this nonsense from.

                  But no, Israel is the one who would prevent them from returning, just like it prevented every single one of my grandparents and their families from every returning.

                    Is it a rule that because you lived somewhere, you have ultimate rights to that place or what? So theoretically if I find out that my ancestors owned a huge castle 1500 years ago, should I be able to just claim it?

                    edit: grammar fixes
