      It’s just untrue.

      Gaza borders Egypt, populated by their Arab brothers, and Egypt could allow them to leave without Israel’s permission. Egypt can also allow in humanitarian aid.

      The image implies Israel has sole control over who and what comes and goes, but they don’t. Every time I see this claim made, no one wants to talk about Egypt’s role in this.

        Israel I’m sure would love it if all the Palestinians they couldn’t kill were forced into Egypt.

        Your point presumes Palestinians SHOULD cede Gaza to Israel to escape being killed.

      Not at all. In fact, far from being risky, it’s the received wisdom here on Lemmy. I will get far more downvotes for merely questioning the framing of it as a genocide than will OP.

        That’s because genocide denial is usually frowned upon by people with fully functioning brains.
