Subject: RE: BS: I was wrong about the latest Gaza truce
How do those million and a half Gazans go "somewhere else", pdq? And why ought they to? And how would you go about it if you were one of them?
Remember how a large boatload of European Jews tried to go "somewhere else" in 1939? No one would take them either. Similar problem, but a different powerless victim, that's all.
I'll tell you who causes these problems. An aggressive, ruthless political/military power that is bent upon land robbery and imperial conquest causes these problems. It can even be a political/military power built by the direct descendants of a former lot of victims of such a policy.....and it frequently is.
One lot of really bad political karma tends to eventually deliver another lot of the same, but sometimes in a completely different location.
