"At the end of the day, the state of Israel as a whole bears “criminal responsibility” for usurping Palestinian land and engaging in 76.5 years (and counting) of ethnic cleansing, displacement and massacres. All of this while driving a sector of the Palestinian population to armed resistance and thereby converting them into targets for continued Israeli criminality."

Nearly One-Third of Gazans Wanted to Leave — Before the War
Nearly one-third of Gaza residents wanted to leave before the war, according to survey data published by Itamar Marcus of Palestinian Media Watch in the Jerusalem Post on Monday.
The proportion has almost certainly risen since the start of the war in October 2023, after the Hamas terror attack on Israel.
Marcus wrote:
The question being asked today around the world is whether President Donald Trump’s plan to resettle Gazans in other countries can succeed. Judging by a poll taken just prior to the war, before much of Gaza was destroyed, Trump’s proposal is reasonable.
The poll by the top Palestinian polling agency, the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research, found that a full 44% of Gazan youth between the ages of 18-29 were considering emigrating. Nearly a third (31%) of the entire population considered emigrating.
Gazans’ “most preferred destination for immigration is Turkey, followed by Germany, Canada, the United States, and Qatar,” the poll found.
In addition to proposing that most or all of the current residents of Gaza be resettled elsewhere, President Trump said last week that the U.S. intends to take possession of Gaza — unless an alternative plan can be found.Adversity temporarily visits a strong man but stays with the weak for a lifetime.Comment
