    What is a more likely scenario: Gazans get to flee Gaza or Israel stops the genocide?

    This is like someone saying “Jews shouldn’t leave Germany, Germans should stop the Holocaust.” As if either was something that Israel or the Nazis would be willing to do.

    Because, again, Gazans have three options: Flee through Israel (impossible), flee through Egypt (could be possible), or stay put and die.

    There are no other options.

    You would have them stay put and hope Israel says “sorry, our bad” and stops bombing them.

    Also, I’ve been saying Israel has been perpetrating a genocide repeatedly this whole time, so what exactly do I need to get over?

      What you should ask is which one is the correct one. And we all know which one that is.

        What is “correct” and what will actually happen are two different things.

        Do you think Israel will just say, “whoopsie! Sorry about that! We’ll stop bombing you now!” I mean what, in specific, realistic terms would get them to stop doing that? Let’s hear your plan. Because I told you what I think- I think there’s no way to stop Israel committing a genocide so Gazans need to get the hell out of Gaza before they’re all murdered and Egypt should let them.

        So let’s hear your plan. “Israel needs to stop the genocide” is not a plan. Let’s hear what specifically you think should realistically happen and how it should happen.

            Because sanctions have totally stopped Russia from invading Ukraine, right? And what should Gazans do while waiting for the sanctions to take effect? Stay put and hope they don’t get murdered?

              Because sanctions have totally stopped Russia from invading Ukraine, right? It helped and placed pressure on Russia.

              And what should Gazans do while waiting for the sanctions to take effect? Stay put and hope they don’t get murdered?

              YES. They should seek shelter and hope Israel doesn’t bomb the shit out of them.
