In February, US President Donald Trump declared that “The US will take over the Gaza Strip” and “level out” the remaining buildings and transfer the Palestinian population to “other countries.” At the time, both US and international media dismissed Trump’s plan as an “outlandish” scheme with no prospect of realization.
The Israeli government approached Trump’s plan with deadly seriousness. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised Trump’s “bold vision” for an ethnically cleansed Gaza. “We’re working on it,” Trump said during a meeting in Washington last month.
On Monday, the Netanyahu government effectively announced the beginning of the final stage of ethnic cleansing in Gaza. The plan includes a full military occupation of the entire Gaza Strip and the mass internment of the population in concentration camps under armed guard, as a prelude to forced marches through the desert or deportation by sea.
These concentration camps will be staffed by private US security contractors, with the Israel Defense Forces overseeing the distribution of starvation rations. According to a report this week by Reuters, the United States and Israel are actively discussing the formation of a “transitional government” headed by a US official to administer Gaza.
Echoing the “final solution,” the Nazi term for the genocide of Europe’s Jews, Netanyahu declared, “It’s time to launch the concluding moves.” The next day, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich explained the meaning of the Israeli government’s plan:
Within a year, … Gaza will be entirely destroyed, civilians will be sent to … the south to a humanitarian zone … and from there they will start to leave in great numbers to third countries.
The mechanism for the forcible displacement of the Palestinian people will be mass starvation. As National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir made clear, “No electricity, and no other aid should be allowed—neither by the [Israeli military] nor by civil society.”
On March 2, Israel imposed a total blockade on all food, water and electricity entering the Gaza Strip. As a result, the majority of Gaza’s community kitchens have been forced to shut down due to a lack of supplies, and cases of acute malnutrition have surged by more than 80 percent. Harrowing images have circulated of emaciated, starving children—victims of a famine that is entirely man-made.
Zionists deserve all the vigilante justice that’s coming to them.
Everyone single one of them should be afraid.
Thats why they hide their faces when cameras are rolling. They are well aware that they are evil. They’ve been doing this same evil to get their stupid failed state back for 3 thousand years. This isnt the first time theyve used genocide. The romans knew exactly how to handle this.
Bro wtf, thanks for doing the actual antisemitism that they accuse people of. The Israeli elite perpetrating this genocide are just Europeans who moved there in the early 20th century, they’ve got nothing to do with Jews from the bronze age except that they use them as a dumb excuse.
I think you’re missing the historical facts that lend context here.
In the Roman Jewish wars (you can read up on it if you want to)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish–Roman_wars
the zealots and sicarii jewish sects, which coincidently have EXACTLY the same philosophy and methods and goals of the modern zionists, genocided every Roman and Greek in the whole middle east in 66AD, about 600 years after the first jewish kingdom fell to the babylonians, after that ancient judean state had been split over a civil war fought over taxation issues.
In 66 AD all of the Roman, Greek, and Cypriot , men, women, children, merchants, travelers, locals, and soldiers in that region were murdered by the sicarii and zealots, solely based on their ethnicity. None were spared. Pause for a moment and think about the insane brutality of that for a second. The inhuman horror it must have been. Then the zealots proclaimed a new judean state and proclaimed a messiah. The also destroyed an entire roman legion and took their standard, which is something few had ever managed to do. The romans took their time, gathered their forces, marched back in and killed every belligerent, and everyone who had gone along with it, along with the messiah Simon Bar Kokhba who was also leading the genocide, after several others had also claimed to be the new jewish messiah.
When the Romans were done the second temple was in ruins and vast areas of the middle east had to be resettled. Judaism was smashed and took a thousand years to regroup. It changed judaism fundamentally. The jewish Roman citizens before they rebelled were unhappy about taxation against temples, but they chose to inflict a genocide to solve a taxation issue. Those that decided to live by the sword died by it. Those that had not taken up a sword were not killed, although many were enslaved and its not clear if that was handled equitably, but many jews were not killed, and simply lost a lot of their Roman citizen rights. An estimated 1 million people were killed in that war.
Those are the facts. They are not some plot against judaism-- some sort of “antisemitism”.
There is nothing wrong with putting down mass murderers of innocents. If we are to have a society we have to mete out a shared standard of Justice with open eyes, when needed. Anyone who resorts to killing innocents based on their ethnicity needs to be brought to justice, and sometimes that encompasses some unpalatable realities. But bringing murderers to justice is not simply “antisemitism”. Its the basis of civilization and the cost of multiple groups of people living together in peace. The zealots and sicarii killed everyone who was not of their clan. That was the line that was crossed. And cutting off Sicarii heads was a VERY justified response, especially given the legal contexts of the time. Sicarii chose to be sicarii, just like zionists today chose to be zionists. Its a choice to self identify with a murderous ideology-- its not an ethnicity. Anyone who claims that is a criminal cowardly hiding behind judaism. There is no such thing as a peaceful sicarii or zealot, or zionist. All of those ideologies require murder to steal land. The Romans at least had the civility not to murder every Jewish person, which is a lot more than you can say for the jerkbags who instigated that conflict.
I think today we need laws in that region of the world that people who kill on the basis of ethnicity are criminals who should be brought to justice with force if need be. Military occupations brutally enforced need to end, and those held under brutal occupation have an explicit right to rebel, even violently, as is outlined in the universal declaration of human rights. Thats the system of laws we all agreed to after world war 2-- including the US and Israel, and the laws are simply being ignored now, or people are pretending the violators of those laws are being “oppressed” by “anti-semites”. Crybullying and genocide is what it is.
