The social engineering of the Gaza Strip:
1- Pink, the rich
2- Yellow, the workforce
3- White, normalising Israeli occupation
4- No border with Egypt, all through Israel; the Rafah crossing has disappeared
5- Shifting balance from Gaza City to Khan Younis and Rafah, despite being less populated than Gaza City
Gaza City: ~600,000
Khan Yunis: ~203,000
Rafah: ~172,000
6- Border industrial hubs mean relying on the Israeli supply chain, electricity; it can be cut off whenever Israel wants
7- Rafah and Khan Younis are being engineered as attractive cities to move Palestinians away from Gaza City towards the south, emptying the north, and reconstructing the social fabric.
8- The new port was moved to Rafah to be adjacent to the Israeli-occupied area; it's an Israeli-controlled port.
9- Next to the port, a Marina, for the rich, pay attention to the peers.
10- 3 Islands for the rich investors or rulers to live away from the population

11- Cities are separated by agricultural land, with no natural horizontal expansion; thus, cities do not form a unified land but independent cells that can be easily cut off.

12- The coastal road is under Israeli occupation, too
13- No city-based fishing piers; all have to go through the Israeli-controlled pier to reach the sea.

piers not peers*

14- The erasing of all Palestinian refugee camps; erasure of refugee status.
