The children living in Gaza don't have that option. Hopefully evacuation corridors are operational.

I'm not sure what you're getting at.

You're making vague statements that the children of Gaza should be evacuated, but that's not a solution unless you can tell me where they would be evacuated to.

There are two and a half million people in the Gaza Strip. What place is going to accept two and a half million Palestinian refugees? Bear in mind that millions of Palestinians have already ended up as refugees throughout the region and that is already considered a huge problem. Nobody wants even more to deal with. So what country? Even if there were magical teleporters to get them there and everyone was willing to leave their homes forever, who's going to take them in and support them?

Okay well then fuck em I guess. Shrug. We've tried nothing and we're all outta ideas. Without a complete and total answer for [random internet jackass] then nothing can be done.

You honestly expect me to have answers for this? All I can do is vaguely hope that some innocent civilians can escape. That's literally all I have.

If you're going to propose it as a solution, then yes, I would expect you to have answers.

I'm not trying to be cruel. But hope should have some basis in reality, and "evacuation corridors" just aren't going to be a thing for a significant number of people. The people in Gaza are trapped there.

You're wasting your time here.

I'm not the one proposing vague solutions with no real-world applicability.
