Gaza Strip, the city of Donetsk, and the city of Detroit

Posted on 10/09/2023 7:01:07 PM PDT by FarCenter

Gaza - area 141 square miles, population 2,375,000.

Donetsk - area 138 square miles, population 900,000.

Detroit - area 143 square miles, population 630,000.

Note that Donetsk is for the city, not for the metro area or the oblast. Detroit Oblast is 10,238 square miles.

Note that Detroit is for the city, not for the metro area which is 3,888 square miles.

Gaza may be a problem, but it is a tiny problem in comparison to Ukraine.

Just an aside — Detroit had a population of close to two million at one time.

I assume that Hamas knew that Israel would cut off water, electric, etc. and stockpiled water and fuel for generators sufficient to maintain operations for at least a few weeks. Of course, they could not have stockpiled enough for the rest of the population but they don’t give a damn. In fact, they’re planning on pictures of starving children for full propaganda effect.

And was the wealthiest city and region (Warren) in the country.

Only the Liberal Democratic Party Miracle could transform it to its current fallen state.
See L.A., Chicago, Baltimore, Manhattan, etc. for similar projects.

If Israel nuked the Gaza would the rest of the Arabs silently approve?

Well Egypt shut it border with Gaza. They don't want the refugees, which means they have no place else to go but the sea. When Russia attacked Ukraine, Europe and the Anglo speaking West took in refugees so they could leave a war zone. The Arabs are doing nothing for them. Merkel and the EU neoliberals will want to bring them to Europe now because the Arabs won't help their own.
