I have not once disputed your numbers. You just have no idea what they mean - and DON'T mean.
That's not the WORST straw man you've built.
And for that matter, now that you bring it up (I never did), it would not surprise me if in fact they DID require the Gazan cohort to resettle in west bank. They are, after all, creating a humanitarian crisis which would give the resettlement cover. They'd be doing it "for their own good."
Shoving them into Gaza in the first place is ethnic cleansing, kid - and apartheid. Pretending they are a sovereign and self-governing entity - as we do with redskins - is window dressing. They are israeli citizens in an open air prison. And since it is clear you do not understand this, people are NOT contradicting themselves when they claim that Israel is keeping them prisoners and want them gone from the land. They will happily let them out of prison to vacate that land - they can go anywhere they want. They just can't leave Gaza for any ISRAELI port of call - not even to go to West Bank. And they have no passports, which makes them both "displaced people" and "refugees," anywhere they go. Not many nations are looking to increase the number of displaced people and refugees on their soil.
So Israel does NOT want them gone - that is your claim?
Final answer?
I don't have a flock, son. What I have is a dispassionate view - and you would be better for it if you could manage that.
Okay, if you say so, son. Glad to have you one record that Haaretz is a far left paper.

Any rational person, having had it explained to them, would understand that the very act of confining them to Gaza and disallowing their travel within israel - even to west bank - is ethnic cleansing by definition.
They are on reservations, son. Try to think. Try to apply definitions. You can do it. That land - the land that Israel holds in statehood - used to have palestinians all throughout. They were rounded up, and put on reservations. Take a breath, bro, You can do this math, if you settle your adrenal issues and look at it dispassionately, using the actual meanings of words.
No matter WHAT you think MY motivations are, yours ought to be to form rational and cogent explanations of the world you inhabit. And when you use POPULATION in an equation that should be based on LAND, not population, you forsake any attempt at rational argument.
When you can stop conflating genocide with ethnic cleansing, you will be on the road to arguing why you SUPPORT ethnic cleansing, rather than making the manifestly silly and universally rejected claim that ethnic cleansing and apartheid are not the official state policy of Israel. The 15% of Israel that are practicing Orthodox Jews agree with me - not you. Does that mean that you are an anti-semite?
Not by my math - but by yours... maybe so...
You are the one making it an either/or false dichotomy. I fully endorsed your argument as to their motives. Mine is perfectly sensible and is based on statecraft, not religion.

Pssst..... If the Israelis wanted Gaza, they would have accomplished such, as they certainly had plenty of time in the years between 1967 & 2005 when they had the military presence to displace the entire population, as you believe is their objective and then annex the Strip into Israel.. And if it were in Israel's plans to do so now, that could also be achieved without putting a Boot on the ground... They can simply indiscriminately carpet bomb & shell Gaza by Land - Air - & Sea...

There's a **** of offshore oil there that belongs in part to whoever holds gaza. Only a partisan dunderhead would try to deny israel wants that land freed up. As to how they might accomplish that, I am sure they would pay me many millions to share the secret, if I knew. But what the heck - I'll take a swing.
Hmmm...They could create an emergency, and use that emergency as a pretext. In this case, I would think maybe bomb the place to rubble, accidentally making it uninhabitable, and then - for HUMANITARIAN reasons, you understand - resettling the reservation trash to a different reservation.
I hear the west bank has openings.

If the palis had passports, they could certainly make their way to mexico and cross our borders. But they don't, so they can't. Israel will not let them form a state and will not give them israeli passports. They are people without a country. You have no idea what that means. Hell, you don't even know what ethnic cleansing means.
And the only possible way for people without passports to make europe is as boat people. Palestine is a long way from europe, and I doubt whether many palestinians have the courage to float barges through IDF-infested waters. However wonderful and compassionate YOU may feel the IDF is, the palis' experience of the IDF may vary.
Some were killed, many were stripped of their rights, and were ordered or intimidated out... Many owned properties, assets, businesses etc which were confiscated, allowing the banished Jews to leave with just a suitcase...
I'm not positive, but I believe the Jews there are foreign and for work purposes... I don't believe any Jews or non-Muslims are permitted to be Saudi Citizens.jerrab » 06 Mar 2024, 9:26 am » wrote: ↑ ----------------------------------------

https://www.jewishnews.co.uk/opinion-a- ... -uae/Being the first Jewish person to plant a date tree in Madinah for 1400 years was a “pinch me” moment and deeply appreciated by me and each of the group of Jews, Christians and Muslims on our trip, who were also invited to plant a tree.The tree-planting felt like a symbol of the tremendous changes taking place in Saudi Arabia and especially in its attitudes toward people of other religions.These changes are led from the top down by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and are embodied in Saudi’s “Vision 2030” blueprint which remarkably contained a definition of Islamic Values as those of “moderation and tolerance”.These changes were evident to our group in a visit I arranged earlier this month to Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Our meetings with Saudi Ambassadors, heads of various important educational institutions including one “building bridges with diverse peoples and cultures” as well as artists and local communities suggested that these changes are already penetrating deep into the system.For example, as the recent Impact-se review showed, the enmity toward Jews that used to be contained in school textbooks in Saudi Arabia has been almost completely ripped out. And since 50% of the population of Saudi Arabia is less than 20 years old, it can be hoped that these changes will have an immediate impact.Kobia2 » 06 Mar 2024, 9:05 am » wrote: ↑ You're a fool and an ignorant one at that... same old....
