Gazans Are not Cattle

 Give them a new place to live, but do not force them to live there. And, if you send them to the uninhabitable Sinai Peninsula, make it inhabitable. The Gazans and Palestinians are not cattle to be herded; They are humans who have been suffering from poor living conditions all along, and don't need you to make it worse for them.
   But -- there it is -- Israel's answer to the Gaza Strip is forced displacement. Take the 2.3 million people and force them to go live in the cold desert. That will get them out of your hair. Many of the Gazans are ancestors of Palestinians who were forced out of Israel about 1948 as Israel was becoming a nation. Don't do this to them, again. 
   If you are going to get Palestinians to move to the Sinai Peninsula, make it an attractive place, a place where they will want to live as an alternative to Gaza, a place where they will want to live of their own free will and choice in order to upgrade from Gaza.
   Ethnic cleansing, that is the description of what is happening in the Gaza Strip. It doesn't need to be that way; we can take care of these people.
