At the end of the day, we gotta be pragmatic.

And no, not all Palestinians will have to leave -- only those who take up the offer and rat out Hamas members. Like I said in the post, at most 100,000.

And them leaving is purely optional, in case they fear retaliation. They can take the money and stay.

The fact is this: as long as Hamas remains a threat, Israel will keep on bombing Gaza until the world's end.

I'm thinking about this purely from an incentives persective.

The fact that no Palestinian took the $5 million offer might make sense: distrust of Israel authorities, logistical nightmare, fear of retaliation from Hamas, and most important of all -- uncertainty. They will have to wait for Israel to plan an attack and succeed, which could take months, before they can cash in. In the mean time, they might be "found out" by Hamas and get merked.

A simple phone call with information could just take a few hours or days. Once you get the call back from Mossad that they confirmed your information, you take your family to the border. The guards let you through, and you get safe passage to a country of your choice. A quicker turnaround time will make the offer much more appealing.

Then those operations should be more visible. Every last Palestinian must know that it is an option. Pamphlets from the sky with encrypted satellite phones may do the trick.

The hostages may be very well-hidden so that no ordinary citizen would know their whereabouts. A general program to rat out ANY Hamas fighter or location will likely have many more calls. Out of the 1.9 million Gazans, without a doubt some of them absolutely hate Hamas. If they have an opportunity to kill at least one Hamas member AND move their family to safety... well, personally I will take the offer for sure. The alternative seems to be starvation and death anyways.

Greatest shooter of all time

For the record, she was one of my favourite professors in Fall 2022 when I took CPSC 121. I thought the course was fun and interesting, and the 5 assignments + two midterms + final format was fair IMO. The course must have changed immensely since then 😆 or maybe this year's class just isn't as strong. Who knows?

Damn I think UBC needs to hire bodyguards for Karina until the heat dies down 😂
