There it is! This was the goal all along.

It has always amazed me that the same people who survived the holocaust are willing to do something similar to others. Most Jewish people are pretty decent, but the government of Israel can eat a dick!

Zionism is religious nationalism.

Given enough time, Israel will devolve into the next Nazi Germany.

Makes you think maybe we should stop giving them fucking guns.

[-] stella@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Yes. US should stop all support to Israel.

I gave it half a second and I'm 75 years behind now.

Oh look, ethnic cleansing.

Reminder that comparisons to the Nazis are entirely warranted when people are literally doing shit straight out of the Nazi playbook.

The document also says that the United States should be enlisted in the process to exert pressure on Egypt to absorb the Palestinian residents of Gaza, and that other European countries – particularly Greece and Spain – as well as Canada should help absorb and settle the Palestinian refugees.

"i'm gonna take this land and you guys gonna pay for it."

The authors of the study also noted that bringing the PA into Gaza was the most dangerous option of the three, because it could lead to the establishment of a Palestinian state.

Finally, the document argued that if Gaza’s population remained in the strip, there would be “many Arab casualties” during the anticipated re-occupation of the territory, which would damage Israel’s international image even more than expelling the population.

But it's okay, they're the good guy.

Some people will be surprised by this. To those people I say: Welcome to the club.

Becoming that which you hated. Israel turning into concentration camp operators engaging in a genocide when it was concentration camps and genocide that begat Israel.

Don't the residents or Egypt have any say in the matter?

[-] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago

Sure, they can take in the Gazans, or not take them in.

If they take them in then they’re responsible for the well-being of millions of distraught and angry people.

If they don’t take them in then they’re complicit with Israel killing them all.

Really great choices Israel has given its neighbor

Hmm. I don't think this is true.

Egypt doesn't bear the blame for Israel's genocide.

If anyone is to blame, it's the nations who fund Israel. (looking at you, United States.)

Or the residents of Gaza strip

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The Israeli Ministry of Intelligence is recommending the forcible and permanent transfer of the Gaza Strip’s 2.2 million Palestinian residents to Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, according to an official document revealed in full for the first time by +972’s partner site Local Call yesterday.

It assesses three options regarding the future of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip in the framework of the current war, and recommends a full population transfer as its preferred course of action.

Fears of such plans — which would constitute a serious war crime under international law — have grown in recent weeks, especially after the Israeli army ordered about 1 million Palestinians to evacuate the northern Gaza Strip ahead of escalating bombardment and incremental ground incursions.

In addition, the Intelligence Ministry’s document was first leaked in a small internal WhatsApp group of right-wing activists who, together with Likud advocate Whiteman, promote the reestablishment of Israeli settlements in the Gaza Strip and the transfer of Palestinians living there.

Moreover, after weeks of reports that the United States was attempting to raise the possibility of moving Palestinians to Egypt as part of a “humanitarian corridor,” U.S. President Joe Biden asserted yesterday that he and Sisi were committed to “ensuring that Palestinians in Gaza are not displaced to Egypt or any other nation.” The Intelligence Ministry document states that Egypt will have an “obligation under international law to allow the passage of the population,” and that the United States can contribute to the process by “exerting pressure on Egypt, Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE to contribute to the initiative, either with resources or with the absorption of displaced persons.” It also proposes conducting a dedicated public campaign aimed at the Arab world, with a “focus on the message of assisting the Palestinian brothers and rehabilitating them, even at the price of a tone that rebukes or even harms Israel.” Finally, the document notes that the “large-scale migration” of non-combatants from combat zones is a “natural and sought-after outcome” that has also occurred in Syria, Afghanistan, and Ukraine, concluding that only the expulsion of the Palestinian population will constitute “an appropriate response [that] will enable the creation of significant deterrence in the entire region.” The document presents two other options regarding what to do with the residents of Gaza the day after the war.

“There is no way to maintain an effective military occupation in Gaza only on the basis of military presence without [Israeli] settlements, and within a short time there will be internal Israeli and international pressure for withdrawal.” The authors added that in such a situation, the State of Israel “will be considered a colonial power with an occupying army – similar to the current situation in Judea and Samaria, but even worse.” They noted that the PA has low legitimacy among the Palestinian public, and that based on Israel’s previous experience of handing over control of Gaza to the PA and Hamas’ eventual takeover, Israel should not “repeat the same mistake that led to the current situation.” The other option, the formation of a local Arab leadership to replace Hamas, is undesirable according to the document, because there are no local opposition movements to Hamas and a new leadership is liable to be more radical.
