Here’s a thread on what to take into account when leaving the USA.

Student visa. Going to university is cheap/free in many European countries. You can work to support yourself while you get a degree. You might also qualify for welfare programs once you’re here for a while.

Book a flight and come on a tourist visa. Once here apply for a student visa or work permit if you have a profession that’s in demand. Gaining citizenship varies between European countries, but can be as short as five years IIRC.

For example Germany https://www.germany-visa.org/work-employment-visa/

Come to Europe.

Hating on voters doesn’t help.

That’s a complete non sequitur. Nothing even close to gas chambers is happening in Gaza.

If anything you’re invoking an antisemitic argument.

Same here. Excellent mouse. The rubber on the scroll wheel is getting a bit worn now.

Allowing civilians to evacuate from warzones is required under international humanitarian law.

Gazans should be able to decide themselves if they want to stay or leave.

Gaza has a border with Egypt.

Thank you for providing a source for this argument. The article calls him aspiring autocrat, and I don’t disagree with that. He’s a corrupt and very shrewd politician.

Hamas gained popularity and notoriety during the Oslo peace process by suicide bombings and being fundamentally opposed to any peace deal with Israel. They only exist because of intransigence and inability to compromise among Palestinians.

It shows.

Refugees leaving a war zone until the war is over is common in every war. However somehow Palestinians have to stay in the dangerous areas, according to western leftists.

Israeli settler terrorism is a crime according to Israeli law. It should be prosecuted accordingly.

Hamas is also in the West Bank, but they’re weaker there. There are plenty of other armed groups there as well and they have been active recently.

We don’t live in a Marvel-comic world of good versus bad. This is a terrorist organisation keeping a country hostage

So much we agree on.

versus a de facto autocrat

Just to go off the rails right after.

Is there, in your opinion ever a situation where the death of civilians is an acceptable trade off to reach military objectives?

For example: a school’s roof is used as a launch pad for rockets and its basement serves as weapons storage.

Hamas managed to build hundreds of kilometers of underground tunnels and bunkers to protect combatants and military infrastructure. Civilians just aren’t allowed in there. That’s where the priorities of Gaza‘s government lie. They don’t give a shit if civilians die, if they can continue the futile attempt to destroy Israel by force of arms. Militant resistance takes precedence over building decent lives. That’s the whole reason Gaza is so fucked.

I only read reports of desertion, not surrender.

That’s not a bomb shelter.

Force their way into Egypt

Why doesn’t Egypt open the border? Why is there no evacuation of refugees by sea?

You only seem to have an emotional and not a factual understanding of the situation.

If combatants use a safe zone for military purposes, the military objectives can be attacked legally. Safe zones are for civilians, not for combatants. Combatants abusing safe zones for military purposes like launching and storing missiles are the ones violating the safe zone first and thus legitimizing attacks.

I have heard from attacks on schools, hospitals, and safe zones. These were all used by combatants and thus legal military objectives under international humanitarian law.

I have never even heard of bomb shelters existing for civilians in Gaza.
