** Resettling Gaza ([link removed])
Is it the right thing to do and can it work? Yes it can.

* Many, if not most, "peace plans" propose the further resettlement of hundreds of thousands of Jews living in Judea and Samaria to make way for a "Palestinian" state. Even as they object to resettling Gazan Muslims in Arab countries, they refer to Jews living in the "West Bank" as settlers, refer to their communities as "settlements," and propose that they be resettled elsewhere.
* The same people who insist that it's morally wrong and impractical to resettle 2 million Muslims out of Gaza also argue that it's morally right and practical to resettle nearly half a million Jews....
* Despite being told it was impossible, Israelis evacuated hundreds of thousands of Gazans to make way for military operations. During the beginning of the war, around one million Gazans left the north for the south of the Gaza Strip, and the UN would later claim that as many as 1.5 million Muslim settlers in Gaza had been displaced.
* The resettlement of large numbers of "Palestinians" has happened before in the Middle East. While the resettlement of Gaza would take place on a larger scale, it would not be that much larger than the resettlements during the war or in the aftermath of the Gulf War.
* The objections to it [resettlement], both moral and practical, are groundless. Resettlement is feasible and moral. If the Kuwaitis and the Jordanians could resettle the "Palestinians" out of their countries on far less grounds than the atrocities of Oct 7, the Israelis certainly have the right to do it.
* The PLO and Hamas used terrorism at every turn to press for more Israeli concessions while giving nothing in return. Their leaders have said again and again that they intend to destroy Israel.
* After Oct 7, everyone is finally taking them at their word.

After President Donald Trump proposed resettling the Arab Muslim settlers currently living in Gaza, there was an outbreak of furious objections from politicians, activists and media outlets.

The objections could be roughly divided into the moral and the practical. The "moral" objection was that it is "wrong" to resettle the population currently occupying Gaza, and the "practical" objection was that it would be impossible to accomplish. Both objections do not hold up.

The Jewish population of Gaza was resettled twice, once after the Egyptian invasion and conquest of Gaza during the 1948-49 War of Independence, and the second time after the 2005 "disengagement" forcibly eliminated 21 Jewish communities and expelled families living there.

Not only did politicians and the media not object to the forcible removal of the Jewish communities of Gaza, but they celebrated it as a step forward for peace in the region.
