Evacuation to where?
Considering the end goal is obviously genocide, the ocean?
This is nearly a certain white supremacist dogwhistle. Don't trust people who want to murder an entire people for the sake of "security" of other people. That's how ethnic cleanses and genocides are justified.
And this action must be extermination of the people of Palestine. If you're going to say it, say all of it. Stop dancing around what you're advocating.
When do they choose their leaders? They've not had an election in over a decade.
may i ask why is it your presumption they haven't been doing this?
Yeah Hamas def made those Israeli settlers steal Palestinian homes /s
this is effectively saying "all Palestinians deserve to be killed because of who their leadership is" which is not really acceptable.
Please look up how many of the currently living people in Gaza were able to vote back in 2006(?) when the last election was.
Irrc 50% of the population now is under 18, so people under 35 should make up 70% or more.
Your statement is just false.
From the authors of "Why don't Russians/Iranians/North Koreans/etc. overthrow their regimes? It's a simple choice."
Is that before or after the constant genocide?
Ok. They are trying to eliminate all people of a certain belief system in a certain area after stealing their land and killing innocents and children... Oh shit that sounds a lot like genocide to me.
Then why are they using white phosphorus on civilians?
God, just remembering the scene in spec ops makes me want to cry. It's wholly inhuman to use white phosphorus

Thing is, even if the people want peace there's no one to deliver it. Their leadership has no interest in negotiating with the state of Israel that they see as illegitimate.
And Israel is the same way so that is a double edged sword.
So for decades Israel has been pushing people out of their homes and killing their children, they have killed journalists.
Now, they told everyone to get out of gaza then bombed the crossing, they shut off power, water, sanitation, food, medicines, and shutdown god only knows how many machines that were keeping people alive because they do not run without electricity...
What part of what I said is untrue?
Per the linked article "toward the southern part of the besieged territory", which seems awfully vague for a major displacement of people.
Which is?
Remember the partition of India? Remember the Nakba?
Telling 1 million people that they no longer have a home never ends well.
