Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

We are talking comparable size, population and density to Manhattan. But with zero infrastructure, and with the Israeli army liberally bombing whenever they want.

  • Rafah: 64 sq km, Manhattan 59 sq km.
  • Populations are estimated at 2.1 million (all of Gaza, to be transferred into Rafah) vs 1.6 million respectively.
  • That gives us densities of 32k people/sqkm in Rafah, 27k people/sqkm in Manhattan.

So basically, more people by square kilometer than Manhattan but close to zero infrastructure. Just imagine if all the infrastructure in Manhattan suddenly disappeared, but the people were stuck there and could not go anywhere. While being bombed. And blockaded.

It would relieve the strain if you systematically killed them. A final solution, if you will.

Oh so they are concentrating them into a camp. That’s where cake is served and everything works out for them, right?

Because genocide is a process.

Ethenic cleansing is part of genocide

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke about US President Donald Trump's proposal that the US take over post-war Gaza and permanently resettle its population elsewhere.

This can only end well ....
