@samsterby the Global South countries having the same standard of living as those of the Global North when we are talking about a human #population on this planet of 8 billion+, even with considerable redistribution of #resources from north to south. Just imagine, if you will, every single #Chinese & #Indian adult having a #fossilfuel powered road vehicle, & the #CO2 #emissions that would result! Call me a racist if you like, but that is a nightmare scenario!

The entire #population of #Gaza could have been exterminated by then, & the whole question of whether or not #Israel was committing #genocide there would have been proved beyond any shadow of a doubt - far too late to be prevented!
