Liberals (in the American, not Australian, sense) taunting those who refused to vote Democratic on the grounds of the Gaza onslaught really have no concept of the word “choice”. Expecting anyone who empathized with the Palestinians to make a choice between bombardment and forced displacement is akin to making a r*pe victim choose whether they want to be violated with or without lube.

There was always another option. That is, a Democratic Party that campaigned on preserving Palestinian sovereignty, on standing up to Israel and working out a peace deal that involved protecting both peoples’ right to exist (notwithstanding the injustice of 1948 and ongoing illegal settler activity), with Israel told that failure to agree to such a deal would result in the abrupt cutoff of military aid. But no, that wasn’t possible because AIPAC hedged their bets to ensure the American people had a Clayton’s choice. It is this perverse system that needs to be torn down.

So stop gaslighting those who made the only moral choices they had, be it Jill Stein or the couch at home.

Why not move the israelis out to another country? Africa maybe. They are the interlopers.

The USA is the nation which has continuously rewarded Israel's Zionist administrations and 'leaders' for victimising and persecuting Palestinians. The USA was also one of those nations that carried out the partitioning of Palestine in order to create the State of Israel so, let the USA provide the land for an Israeli state and return Palestine to its rightful owners, its people.

Wait a minute--the US has taken enough land away from the indigenous people of North America. They don't need to be taking any more to house the Zy-0-nists. Maybe we ought to just let them all ride Musk's rocket to Mars or someplace where they can't hurt anyone else ever again?

Nah.

Plenty of land in Texas and Florida. Make the New Zions in the lands of the Evangelicals.

I like Aaron Maté's solution. Clear out the Jewish settlers from the West Bank, move the Gazans to those settlements while Gaza is rebuilt.

Africa has enough problems. They don't need Zionist garbage. Germany would be much better.

Ten, I wouldn’t wish them on the Africans.

Let them go home to Poland, Russia and Noo Yawk Shitty.

Why? They’ve been there first and all along. The idea that the Jews are somehow interlopers in what is now the nation state of Israel, is fanciful nonsense. 75 years of extermination isn’t ideation and war losing has resulted in Gaza as rubble. Everyone in the ME, save for the Persians in Iran, have moved on from the Palestinians. UNWRA is not sustainable for them.

Send them all to South Georgia Island, I’m sure the UK would be happy to give it to them.
