I say that as someone who's been strongly pro-Gazan since I developed some awareness on the issue. What Israel has and is doing is horrific. My heart breaks for Gazans and I'm nauseated by how my country and party support Israel.
No, I don't want Israel to be "rewarded". I don't want Gazans to lose their homeland. But the reality is this has been a nightmare existence for decades. Most Gazans have spent their entire lives under the boot.
And there doesn't seem to be change anywhere on the horizon. The US support is stubborn and the most powerful of countries that support Gazans aren't willing to do much of anything but vote on resolutions. The American and Israeli left wings can't flip their country's direction.
Enough. I want better for them. A historical injustice, but the injustice may be more survivable elsewhere. There are future generations to consider. Who am I to insist they live like this and "not give up the fight".
All that said, I also understand those who won't leave. I try to imagine if the US were put under that type or seige and how difficult it would be to go. But if it might be a better path for me and future generations it certainly would seem something to heavily consider.
