@HomoudLenaal On the latter, it's speculation. And of course, I hope I'm wrong. But the last year hasn't been good indication. And Jordanians are not alone. It's people of the whole region.

Archive for a genocide.
Doctors Without Borders just had access to the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza after the ceasefire, and this is the testimony of the emergency coordinator about Israel’s techniques of genocide: deliberate destruction of life saving machines to completely depopulate the area.

When you wonder what you can do for Gaza, here's something. The more these large companies suffer for supporting the Israeli state, the more that support becomes costly.

This is the definition of ethnic cleansing via humanitarianism. Like I understand this migration happens, but making it a formal proposal? Really?! Nothing is temporary with the Israelis.
Smart move by Jordan's king to offer to take in 2000 Gazan children. Trump gleefully called it "music to my ears" There are similar ways to help without either ethnically cleansing Gaza or locking its people up like pickles in a jar to "preserve the Palestinian cause" Examples: 1- Offering or funding university scholarships to Gazan students: There are over 150,000 Gazan university students & high school graduates, while Israel destroyed all of Gaza's universities. Already before Oct 7, many countries around the world used to take in dozens or hundreds of Gazan students through scholarship programs. States should be encouraged to either offer substantial numbers of scholarships to Gazan students or alternatively fund scholarships for Gazans in regional countries. This is a way of helping some Gazans to temporarily leave with a clear timeframe of 2-4 years until the reconstruction progresses. 2- Evacuate patients & wounded Gazans: Already before Oct 7, Gazans who couldn't get treatment at local hospitals were transferred to Egypt, Jordan, the West Bank & Israel itself & returned upon completion of treatment. There are now about 120,000 wounded Gazans. More countries should do like Jordan's king just did; offer to temporarily take in thousands of Gazan patients. Other states that don't/can't take in patients can alternatively fund the treatment of Gazans in the region. 3- Employment programs to fill domestic labour shortages: Before Oct 7, over 51% of Gazans were unemployed b/c of Israel's siege collapsing the economy. Now over 80% of Gazans are unemployed. Only lifting Israel's draconian siege would fix this, but until then, a lot can be done to alleviate the situation. Before the war, some Arab countries like Qatar & Kuwait had programs to take in hundreds of Gazan teachers & nurses to fill shortages. Those expats then helped their families (& Gaza's economy) with monthly remittances & gained vital work experience. More countries should launch/fund such employment programs for tens of thousands of highly educated Gazans, especially in areas where Gaza had already a huge surplus of job seekers before the war. For instance, in 2023, Gaza had a surplus of 50,000 teachers who couldn't get any jobs because that sector was saturated. Similar ideas of this sort will hit two birds with one stone; keep Trump happy & help Gaza without fully depopulating it. Again, Gazans are not cattle to be herded from one ground to another & be ethnically cleansed, but they're also NOT pickles to be locked up in a jar, in a permanent state of non-life, to "preserve the Palestinian cause"!

@HomoudLenaal Based on the fact that they helped the Israelis shoot down Iranian missiles, have done nothing for 2 yrs to put pressure, & always colluded with US & Israel since before 48. The public rejection is just what they have to say so we the ppl shut up until it's too late.

@baronessvonbli That's totally fine if you really don't have help. And working women, trying to nurse for example, would love if that were the culture. But Elon is none of that. He probably hadn't seen this child in a week!
