Orrrrrr…. She recognizes that engaging in a military action that intentionally displaces a group of people, forcing them to relocate to a different country, is ethnic cleansing. And illegal.

@marclamonthill No it's not. In fact evacuating citizens during hostilities is required and neighboring countries need to do their part. That's not "ethnic cleansing."
@marclamonthill Do you think war refugees are somehow unique to Gaza? Is there any war since, say, 1900, that hasn't created refugees? Your position, not surprisingly, is that Israel may not go to war against Hamas, period.
@marclamonthill @DavidM_Friedman this is the type of answer you get when you appoint a Jewish settler who donated to settlements as US ambassador to Israel. Trump had many sins, but this was the worst sin against the USA.
@marclamonthill By this definition, there are no wars in which genocide doesn’t occur as all wars displace people forcing them to relocate somewhere else. Literally every war, no matter what the ends or means.
@marclamonthill One could also say Egypt is also complicit by refusing to accept Palestinian refugees. Jordan is also complicit.
If the group you move supported, housed, voted for and financed a group that committed the worst atrocity in your country’s existence, it’s reasonable to make them move from point A to point B in order to exterminate the same group they continue to support, house and finance. Disappointed to call you a fellow 76er fan. If Israel wanted to ethnic cleanse them, he would just drop the biggest bombs they have and then ask for forgiveness instead of permission. It’s incredible how you “scholars,” are so quick to point out where Israel is wrong without ever ever ever providing a solution. How come each country bordering Gaza has walls to protect their citizens while Hamas just built buildings to protect themselves rather than walls to protect their people. Also, not sure you will get to it, but would $5k per Gazan have made their lives better? Hamas stole $11 billion. You are blind due to your own ignorance.
@marclamonthill Temporary relocation to make way for a battle isn’t illegal.
