1,000
3.00@Akzzz123 Zero have, except a few dual citizens. But there is no way to get around it anymore, civilians are going to be allowed to leave soon. I think it just depends whether or not enough countries will agree to accept 500,000 of them cumulatively.
@Akzzz123 The US could be the primary catalyst. Biden almost has no choice but to accept refugees if he wants to convince other countries to also take in refugees. Just letting Gazans languish as refugees inside a preexisting refugee camp is going to badly damage his already low approval.
@BTE You do realise allowing refugees to leave would amount to ethnic cleansing of Gaza? That would look really bad on Biden.
@Akzzz123 Of course I know it’s ethnic cleansing. I have been saying that since this all started. But who cares at this point, they are just going to suffer for the foreseeable and that is much worse. If Biden loses either way then he should do the right thing and drop his campaign so he won’t be compromised.
@Akzzz123 Forcing them to leave or die is the ethnic cleansing. Refusing to give them a place to go just removes one of the two options.
The parallels to the situation with the M S St Louis are depressing.
@BTE How soon do you think they will be able to get out?

@DanPowell One bad trade for 1000 YES at 40. Ouch. Still could easily happen. There are 1mm people just waiting to cross into Egypt. Ireland has already offered to take refugees. Others will too. The US probably will.
@DanPowell There are at least 500K children in Gaza. They should be prioritized and should be welcomed into the US. This single action is maybe the most significant step toward long-term peace I can think of.
@BTE “Voluntary deportation” of all the children and their parents, or separate half a million children from their cultural heritage and have people from another culture raise them?
@DanPowell Take the entire families. I don’t care. I just assume Israel will. If I was living in Gaza right now I would assume I was good as dead. Take them to somewhere where they can have self determination. Gaza has never offered a path to that fundamental right.
@BTE Some kind of kindertransport could be a reasonably effective method of… accomplishing some goal.
History repeats itself whether or not you study it.
@BenjaminShindel there are many civilians internally displaced WITHIN Gaza, but very few displaced FROM Gaza
@Agh I honestly have no idea why I missed the previous comments here. I only just saw them all. I had originally not given the careful thought that I should have to the specific wording. I assume people are probably going to be upset no matter what I do now but I will go with the specific words and say 500,000 must be displaced from Gaza completely.
