Why? I did the math recently and a reasonable guess for the damages that Gaza owes Israel for Oct 7th is ~$30k/Gazan โ€“ tens of billions of dollars. All of the real estate in Gaza is probably worth less than that: that works out to be $172/mยฒ. It'd be perfectly reasonable for Israel to just take all of Gaza in compensation and kick everyone out. Sending them all to Libya would be a very reasonable way to do this. The Gazan population clearly has an irrational hatred of Jews, they're extremely violent, and there is no path to fixing this problem. Trying peace and diplomacy got us Oct 7th. A perfectly valid alternative to this would be to cut all aid to Gaza and just wait for the population to starve to death. No-one owes them free food or supplies, and they can't feed themselves. They fucked up their economy through violence โ€“ no one owes them anything to fix that. Speaking of, you can solve a lot of problems that way: Yemen can rain missiles down on Israel and our shipping lanes in large part because western food aid is keeping 90% of their population alive. It's ridiculous that we're doing that. Also, cutting off all this suicidal aid to people who hate us would free up money to send to Ukraine, a population actually fighting for us.

Hereโ€™s the thingโ€ฆ as a regular American does anyone really give a fuck about Israel or the Ukraine? Because I sure donโ€™t. The steel man for the Ukraine is that using the Ukraine as our new forever war post Afghanistan is somehow a โ€œgood dealโ€ for us because it bleeds Russia, allows us to update our military equipment and doesnโ€™t cost any American lives. IMO itโ€™s just another way for a transnational security elite to wash money out of the American tax base. The idea that Ukrainians are fighting for us is retarded. nevent1qqsqxktzutpp60zq8d287x0dhdlj0qw4qtq84u82khc3fjyqf2x4xecpz3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wcfexdtm
You are writing notes with a lot irrational points my friend. You say cut off food off of Gaza, letโ€™s see how long they survive, no one owes themโ€ฆ sure. When you say that, add to it, cut off Military and monetary US aid to Israel and letโ€™s see if itโ€™s a successful state or a failed state. We will do it at the same time, 3, 2, 1โ€ฆ
Hate to say it but my values don't seem to currently align with the values of core devs.
