Is expulsion and resettlement a good way to solve inter-ethnic tensions in a region?

@evan I'd suggest you'll get a quite different answer if the proposal is to expel & resettle Israelis. Or Americans.

@evan considering that it's a cause of a significant amount of intergenerational trauma, including among my own people, I'm inclined to believe it ultimately makes inter-ethnic tensions worse than allowing people to live together regardless of their background, and to strive towards reconciliation together.

@dmayhood I don't think this poll specifies any particular group.

@evan No it doesn't. But as I intended, you will get very different results depending on who is proposed for receiving the actions. At the moment it's the Palestinians that have been proposed as the target by Trump, & that's widespread in the news. While the question appears to be intended to elicit a response as a matter of principle, the responses in "principle" would be dramatically different depending on the context. That's a problem for most polls of this type, not just this one.

... I'd rather the US give Palestinians $1m each directly to move instead of Israel billion$ to bomb them.

@dmayhood My answer would not change. I'm a no. I include Israelis that live on the West Bank in my answer. The fact is kids have been born in the settlements. Those settlements have been built under unjust circumstances and the Israeli state cynically uses those settlements to create new "facts on the ground". The so called "two ethnicities" in this conflict (which obscures the many hybrid positions and other positions) are too intertwined in each others destiny today, is what I see. @evan

@wjmaggos That's a 7 trillion dollar price tag.

@dmayhood I appreciate that you brought up the topic of settler populations, which may help contextualize the question.

Trump can get all those guys in the second row at the inauguration to pitch in.

@ch0ccyra1n hey, I'm sorry to hear that.
I come from peoples who have faced ethnic cleansing, and I agree that it causes intergenerational trauma. My hope is that my kids can hold onto our culture and some day visit our homelands. -

@wjmaggos I forgot about Palestinians in the Diaspora who have a legal right of return. That'd push it up to about $15T.

@evan hezbollah anyone? Ethnic cleansing doesn’t work. And it’s religion masquerading as ethnicity in this case. Eject religion and the area of discussion evaporates

@evan I was going to make a crack like "depends which group we're expelling", but nah, serious answer to serious question: no.

@[email protected] It's a tough one.
Non-natives should definitely be expelled from North America. But we, Europeans, don't want the Americans (we're fine with White Canadians and Mexicans, we'll welcome them with open arms) -
