Exit-Only Plan for Gaza: A 'Humanitarian' Eviction Notice
The mainstream media covers Israel’s insistence on controlling the Rafah crossing into Egypt, proposing an 'exit-only' policy. This, they claim, is for 'security' and preventing 'smuggling.' Yet, missing from this narrative is the rather inconvenient history of forced displacement of Palestinians—from the Nakba in 1948, to successive wars and occupations. It’s always 'security,' never simply
taking land. This 'exit-only' strategy, rejected by Arab nations for its clear intent "to displace Palestinian people from their land," is just the latest iteration of a playbook we've seen before. One might wonder, how many times must a population be 'encouraged' to leave their homes before it's called what it is? The humanitarian crisis intensifies while the world debates the semantics of 'exit'
versus 'expulsion.' Some 'security.'
