  • Educate yourself.

    The history of forced/coerced emigration sure isn’t a pretty one.

    I’m certain you don’t give a shit about a good faith argument but I’ve got one anyway. Moving so many people to another country is absurd. There wouldn’t be remotely adequate infrastructure ready to support them. It would be an immediate humanitarian disaster. It wouldn’t be surprising when a great deal of people wouldn’t be interested in leaving their ancestral home to become a refugee.

    Removing an entire ethnicity (or in this case, every ethnicity but one) from a country is genocidal because it’s never been done without a huge amount of death, whether they are gunned down or forced to relocate.

    This strategy will likely be used to justify the continued slaughter of Gazans by the flimsy logic that “they could have just left.”






  • I don’t know a lot about conditions in Oregon. I know that a rainwater ban in my area would be insulting but not really an inconvenience for many.

    The same sort of legislation for Palestinians is a different story. Their water can be cut off at any time and their infrastructure is at risk of destruction.

    Rainwater shouldn’t be controlled by any state, but for most of us it would be an inconvenience. For people in Gaza it puts lives at risk.
