Where shall we put all the Palestinians?
Bangkok Post
|June 07, 2025
Reckless people fling accusations of attempted genocide in Gaza at the Israeli coalition government and the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) every day, but the scale of the operation is not remotely big enough to justify that word.
IDF snipers and/or civilian American gunmen of the so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) pick off dozens of the starving Palestinians who show up at the food distribution points in southern Gaza almost every day. However, barely a hundred of them were killed outright at the feeding stations in the whole first week.
A far larger number of Palestinians are killed by bombs or shells in their own homes (also known as “Hamas command and control centres” by IDF spokespersons), but even that much bigger death toll does not currently amount to as much as a thousand a week. At that rate, it would take 42 years to “clear” all the Palestinians out of the Gaza Strip.
Donald Trump will be dead much sooner than that, so that’s clearly not what he had in mind when he talked about “clearing” all the Palestinians out of the strip. Indeed, we can go further and say that he wasn’t thinking of starving them all to death either, even though that would be much quicker.
