A panel of United Nations independent experts has accused Israel of engaging in a campaign of starvation and genocide in Gaza as the effects of the famine are being felt across Gaza. Palestinian physician and activist Mustafa Barghouti says “what we see today is a purposeful act of starvation” and that the real intention of the Israeli government has never changed. “Their main goal is the total ethnic cleansing of all of Gaza people and all of the Gaza Strip.”
Most of those “stateless nations” are concentrated in a state or sub-national division, that mostly corresponds to their traditional homeland.
Expelling all Palestinians from Palestine would be a blow to their nation. Jewish people took millennia to rebuild a nation, and it only happened because of extreme circumstances.
The Romani have been wandering since being expelled from India. They still are a people. You can kill a state, you can take the land, but you can’t kill an idea.
They are a people, but not a nation. There isn’t any movement that unifies them internationally. I mean just that if the Palestinians lose their land completely, they might indeed end up like the Roma. And I mean, they are to this day some of the worst treated people in the world.
They have been working to have their own nation since the 1950s.

But it never got anywhere. I’m not trying to diss Roma people or anything, I’m just trying to say that the Palestinians being expelled from their land in a diaspora is a bad thing!!
It hasn’t gotten anywhere yet. But the idea will not die, just like the idea of Palestine won’t die.
Of course it’s a bad thing. No one is suggesting anything otherwise.
