    They should leave.

    As it stands, their home is not a safe cradle anymore. If they see no future for themselves there, then there’s no reason not to start anew somewhere else.

    Yes, that would mean that Israel will win, the evil tyrants will have succeeded in their plans of complete domination. Welcome to the rest of the world!

    Right now, Palestinians are dying for nothing. They lose in every realistic scenario. They have no real allies, no real government, no real army, no real desire to become independent. They simply are there.

    Yet they can ask to go or be helped to go anywhere else and live and equal or better life. Organizations love sending migrants anywhere these days.

    Getting rid of Palestine as a concept, as an open-air prison, is the best option for Palestinians right now. But forcing two people who hate each other to live together is not the peaceful or proper solution, it’s setting them apart.

    US likes Israel being there. Don’t like it, convince US to stop. Can’t do that, move the Palestinians.

    If you want to save the Palestinians, that’s the best thing to do. If you want to be on the right side of ethics, go ahead and keep the Palestinians in that futureless prison while you rage at Israel for being nazis. That’ll show them!

    If your home is bad for you, move.

      What do you want them to do? Grow gills and go live in the sea? Even that wouldn’t work as the Israeli navy shoots at anyone who gets too far away from the shore. You have no clue what you’re talking about.
