WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THERE IS NO PLACE TO GO
HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF
One of the top items on the list in Netanyahu's trip to Washington was approval for the Israeli plan to move the population of Gaza out of the area. It seems there was no definitive agreement, at least not publicly.
This plan is openly being talked about in Israel and is intended to move the population of Gaza into a "concentrated area" in Rafiah. It is ironically being called a humanitarian zone. It is expected that it will be the only area were food water and other resources will be available in Gaza. It is also proposed this will be a staging area for the "voluntary" migration of these people out of Gaza.
There is speculation that this plan is going to be put into motion with or without Washington's approval, but the funding will be difficult without that approval.
No one answers where these people will be going and what will happen when they have nowhere to go or funding or war makes it impossible.
It is all reminiscent of the "Madagascar plan" proposed by some in Britain, Netherlands and Poland in 1937 as a solution to the "Jewish Question" going on in Europe at the time. The Germans sent teams to Madagascar to study the feasibility of the idea in 1940, but all efforts were scraped with outbreak of war.
That brought about the "final solution" and the rhetoric and the polices evolving in this situation are eerily reminiscent of the past.
