    We are talking comparable size, population and density to Manhattan. But with zero infrastructure, and with the Israeli army liberally bombing whenever they want.

    • Rafah: 64 sq km, Manhattan 59 sq km.
    • Populations are estimated at 2.1 million (all of Gaza, to be transferred into Rafah) vs 1.6 million respectively.
    • That gives us densities of 32k people/sqkm in Rafah, 27k people/sqkm in Manhattan.

    So basically, more people by square kilometer than Manhattan but close to zero infrastructure. Just imagine if all the infrastructure in Manhattan suddenly disappeared, but the people were stuck there and could not go anywhere. While being bombed. And blockaded.

      It would relieve the strain if you systematically killed them. A final solution, if you will.

    Oh so they are concentrating them into a camp. That’s where cake is served and everything works out for them, right?

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke about US President Donald Trump’s proposal that the US take over post-war Gaza and permanently resettle its population elsewhere.

    This can only end well …
