US says it is talking to Israel about safe passage for Gaza civilians

The United States is talking to Israeli officials and others about the idea of a safe passage for Gaza civilians after Israel's air strikes following a deadly Hamas attack over the weekend, the U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan said on Tuesday.

"We are focused on this question, there are consultations going on," Sullivan told reporters in a White House press briefing.

Israel has battered Palestinians with deadly air strikes in Gaza after Palestinian Islamist group Hamas' attack on Israel on Saturday that left hundreds dead.

Gaza's Health Ministry said at least 830 Palestinians were killed and up to 4,250 wounded in Israeli air strikes on the blockaded enclave since Saturday. The enclave, only 40km (25 miles) long by 10km (6 miles) wide, is home to 2.3 million people.

One historically classic method of separating combatants, is women and children are allowed to leave. Men are not. It's not a perfect solution, but it would get the women and children out safely

In this case, it'll essentially be signing death sentence for all the men. It's a facet of sexism that's rarely addressed. Happened in Ukraine, probably gonna happen here as well.

Happens in America everything there is a draft. Happens I. South Korea and a bunch of other countries. Men don't matter to society unless they are rich

Patriarchy hurts everyone.

Dunno where you live but the usa is a matriachy.

How do you figure?

The laws all benefit women, support systems benefit women. Women have more rights than men.

Depends on where you live. It's true that a lot of places have, for example, a lot more women-only homeless shelters despite having more homeless men. On the other hand, if you live in Texas, goodbye bodily autonomy.

Men don't have bodily autonomy in any state

Baby boys don't, unfortunately. Adult men do, which isn't true for adult women. It seems rather pedantic that people would downvote you over such a simple mistake.

So if men have bodily autonomy explain the draft. You know the thing every male has to sign up for at 18 in the United states ?

That is before ww get into paternity rights

Actually you're right, that's totally fair. Men lose autonomy if the draft is ever used. Fortunately, there's enough anti-draft sentiment that activating it would basically just fast-track the government being overthrown, so it'll never happen.

They also loose autonomy as soon as a child is involved.

Had sex woth a girl and threw the condom in the trash. She fishes it out and uses it to impregnant herself. Too bad you owe child support for 18 years

Woman rapes you and she gets pregnant... to bad you owe child support. We're you a minor... lol don't matter your a man and have to pay child support.

Oh you were a trusting husband and now are being divorced. Guess what the child was never yours and you can't ever see them again... oh and you still pay child support !

You and your wife froze your sperm and her eggs. Got divorced? Too bad she is allowed to use your speem and you are on the hook for child support!

Can't afford the child support ? To bad off to jail . you sill man.

Let's not even get I to infant male genital mutilation.

A good modified form of this is to let the women and children out, then establish a waiting facility for family reuniting, and seeking men specifically identified by the women and children.

Militants tend not to have spouses or kids to vouch for them, and if they have siblings or mothers to, said women will almost definitely be inclined towards keeping the som'bitches in line.

Last up, just screen all the men that are left and still willing to cooperate with the proceedings, by now just being willing to filter out that way is probably a sign they aren't militants since by that point the actual militants will probably have resolved to try for a last stand somewhere they think can be fortified.

The only real logistical hurdle is keeping everyone trying to cooperate orderly and not stir crazy, and for that the best solution is just bringing in as much food as is needed, maybe set up temporary communal facilities like schools and entertainment within the vouchers' settlement, have a clear destination picked out for any who don't care about going back as long as they can have peace (I hear dearborn is lovely this time of year) and have an ACoE division ready to marshall plan the shit out of any rubble that'll be left behind.

Boom, militants filtered, wannabe escapees relocated, and plenty of space made for who's left to move back into, probably with better infrastructure now too since the ACoE will probably be laying the works down just to get their own shit in and about, let alone everyone else's.

Turn it into a real weh antiok khosrau kinda deal, only not intended as a jab against a byzantine emperor.

A very very rough estimate for how long this would take would be just over two months to finish the "sorting" process, assuming you profess an average of 10k men every day. Which is certainly feasible with enough manpower dedicated to the effort.
