Duh. The evacuation order is intended as a prelude to ethnic cleansing, and as a moral figleaf, so Israel and its enablers can claim that they gave the residents of Gaza a choice, sort of like how "your money or your life" is a choice.

It’s akin to the “choice” the Palestinians were given in 1948: accept a partition of your land or the Zionists will mug it from you.

Palestinians have long feared a “second Nakba” and this just might be it. Biden is apparently tempering his previous statements of unconditional support for Israel’s response and warning against a re-occupation of Gaza.

Biden needs to stop giving foreign nations blank checks of American support. He needs to think things through before he opens his mouth, but that’s never been his strong suit. He must stop doing this unilaterally and we need to have a collective national conversation about our interests as Americans. Those interests do not include ethnically cleansing 2 million of the poorest and most put upon people on earth so that a foreign government can conduct a revenge raid.
