Israeli minister confirms goal of large-scale expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza

Source: The Guardian

Israel’s defence minister has said he is committed to the ethnic cleansing of Gaza through large-scale migration of Palestinians as part of Israel’s long-term plans for the territory.

Israel Katz said the government would implement a plan for large numbers of Palestinians to leave Gaza “at the right time and in the right manner”, in a statement on Wednesday marking the targeted killing of Mohammed Odeh, Hamas’s most recent military commander.

Pushing for mass departures violates Donald Trump’s ceasefire plan for Gaza, which Israel signed last year. The second point of the plan states: “Gaza will be redeveloped for the benefit of the people of Gaza, who have suffered more than enough.”

Israel-based human rights organisations and lawyers have warned that the conditions Israel has imposed on Gaza mean no departure can be considered voluntary and the policy constitutes planning for ethnic cleansing.

They are losing the support of people around the world, especially among younger generations and those like me who see them as a terrorist nation committing genocide. Other countries need to levy severe economic sanctions until Israelis decide to elect a government that is not a right-wing murdering enterprise.

In1947, the U. N. partitioned Palestine creating the country of Israel and designating Gaza and the West Bank as Palestinian future states. This move significantly increased the ongoing danger in the region, and one would think that Israelis would show appreciation and do right by Palestinians. Palestine had a government with actual passports when Partition was done.

Instead, Israel appears to be clearing Gaza and West Bank to grab these territories. I am absolutely not antisemitic, but really...
