Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his aides rejected a request from Secretary of State Antony Blinken to publicly say that Israel is not implementing an ethnic cleansing plan in northern Gaza, known as the “general’s plan,” The Washington Post reported Tuesday.
The report said Netanyahu and his top aide Ron Dermer told Blinken that the general’s plan was “absolutely not our policy” and that the perception has been “deeply damaging to us.” But when asked to state that publicly, they declined.
The Times of Israel also reported that Netanyahu rejected the request to publicly denounce the ethnic cleansing plan.
While Israeli officials have told the US they’re not carrying out the ethnic cleansing plan, Israeli soldiers told Haaretz last week that it’s already underway in northern Gaza, where Israel has ordered hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to flee to the south and imposed a full siege. More than 500 Palestinians have been killed by the renewed assault, which has been focused on the Jabalia refugee camp.
The general’s plan calls for the forced evacuation of all Palestinians from northern Gaza. Under the plan, after a certain amount of time, the entire north will be declared a closed military zone, and anyone who stays behind will be killed by military action or through a starvation blockade.
The completion of the general’s plan could pave the way for Jewish settlements in Gaza, an idea favored by many Israeli ministers and members of the Knesset. At a “resettle Gaza” conference held on Monday, May Golan, a member of Netanyahu’s Likud party and the minister for social equality, called for a new “Nakba” in Gaza.
Spare the M-16; spoil the child. Hasbara tailors of the king's new clothes could not a sharper silhouette cut.
That's exactly true, somehow the Democratic Party's finest, the incredibly sad set of sharpest pencils in their AIPAC donated box, while carrying out genocide on the Palestinian people with the Israeli, being watched by the world in real time, still think they can pull the lid over all of their eyes by humbly asking their Israeli henchmen to synchronize the lying. But then Netanyahu smeared the lipstick on himself instead of the pig.
So there remains the question what's next? Is Blinken going after the pig with his own lipstick? Is Blinken going to lipstick himself in solidarity with his Israeli soulmate? Are they both going to bend over to be fecked by this settler pig? Are they themselves the pigs in this story?
Blinken, Sullivan, Miller are the "bedfellows" of Netanyahu.
The worst is Miller, with his smarmy grin, pointed nose, just a full time *ss hole.
He did have a slip of the tongue when he cited the 40,000 figure.

@StephenM
Kamala is campaigning with Cheney. She is doing everything humanly conceivably possible to repel Arab and Muslim voters. A vote for Kamala is a vote for permanent horrible bloody devastating war in the Middle East.
Vote Trump, stop war, and bring back peace.
1:32 PM · Oct 21, 2024
Don't be an idiot. Trump is not bringing peace anywhere, not even Ukraine despite whatever BS he spouts, and certainly not the Middle East.
They're the same thing of course. It's a matter of consciousness: will you vote for Adolf A or Adolf B? There are other options, you know.
for once Hack, I completely agree with you. Trump fooled me once into thinking he was antI-war, but I won’t get fooled again.
He fooled a lot of people the first time around. Not their fault, his.
As for the people who have chosen to let themselves be fooled a second and even third time, that’s on them. If they don’t know better, it’s because they actively filter reality out of the equation so that they can avoid knowing better and acting accordingly.
There won't be a "third time" to vote for Trump if he's elected in a couple weeks. His will be the first & last true Imperial Presidency of the USA. He'll become more king than elected official – twisted and evil.
2024 is the third time.
OH ! I see what you mean. I was thinking “vote for incumbent”.
Entirely my mistake. Thank you !
You of course are correct here. We who agree can do little other than promote and support sense wherever we find it. While we await economic collapse and welcome it as at least, better than nuclear warfare.
For those who insist on voting for “lesser of two evils” I suggest they base their vote on whether or not they prefer Sir Twitchy Walz or Blue-eyed Babe Vance at the future controls.
The definition of insanity is putting Kamala back in office for 4 years and expecting a different result.
Or putting Trump back in office for 4 years and expecting different results.
I expect far WORSE results.
Yep, People can compare the Trump years to the Kamala years. Definitely a plus.
Well, if there ever ARE any Kamala years, that will become possible. So far there haven’t been any.
Kamala Harris has been Vice-President of the US for the past 4 years. According to her she has been “the last person in the room” whenever big decisions were made under the Harris-Biden regime.
My point was Trump's first term sucked. I wasn't comparing his years to the Biden/Harris years.
The definition of insanity is thinking that people will share your fantasy that Kamala can be put “back” into an office she’s never held.
“WE DID IT JOE!”
Is the remote chance Trump might fumble into international peace, worth the certainty of the domestic destruction he will cause ?
You’re worried about BLM-Antifa? Relax, Trump will deal with them in the same way Kamala-Biden dealt with January 6 protesters. The precedent has been set for any acts of “insurrection”.
Not at all. My concern is Project 2025. The conservatives’ road-map for “a perfect America”, and the bribe and means for a returned President Trump to avoid prison time, enjoy VASTLY expanded executive powers, and repay the conservative Christian Nationalists who got him back on top.
Besides, BLM is now a staledated meme, and the whole fa / antifa tilt was a tempest in a teapot at best when it WAS socially relevant, which it isn’t any longer.
Trump has said repeatedly that he has nothing to do with “Project 2025”.
That may be the best evidence that he’s ass-deep in it.
How do you know when Trump’s lying? His lips move.
And nobody believes him. Well maybe some fools.
He’s lying. 140 of his former staffers and appointees had a hand in crafting that document.
He was “for” it before the details of it became public and he had to deny knowing everything about it.
I’m doing a deep-dive read of it. 130 pages in and it’s already f**king horrifying.
Its authors brag about giving and earlier iteration to Reagan and 60% of their recommendations became policy. AND they brag that they’ll foist it on the next “conservative President” on 21 Jan 2025, as they “have two years and this one chance” to “save” America from the Left and the DPRC, both of which they hate haaaaaate hate.
The trouble with T-rump is that all his good instincts will be damped and stopped by the Deep State while all his worst instincts will be egged on. Remember in term 1 when he bombed Syria in response to the bogus chemical attack story and got the biggest cheers of his presidency by the MSM? Remember when he asked the generals to develop a plan to leave Syria and they basically told him to take a hike? If he would have insisted, it would have been another impeachment …
His "good instincts" are dubious at best. It would seem his idea of a peace is that the world will be so deathly afraid of the US, him in particular, that they will fall in line with whatever demand the US makes on them. His demeanor and rhetoric suggest that he thinks making real peace is something that would make the US look weak.
Iran was not afraid of him as they blasted the US airbase while he was President. He talks a tough game but he is a coward and the US enemies know that.
Will you please stop with that repeated nonsense. Iran knew the US wouldn't retaliate. Trump killed their general. And besides, my point was what Trump's idea of a strong US foreign policy is based on and not whether our enemies feared him.
Trump insists he learned a lot from his first term and will do many things differently in his final term. For one thing, Jared and Ivanka Kushner are now out of the administration.
Yes, Jared and Ivanka Kushner are out of the administration.
So is everyone else associated with Trump, including Trump.
Like the other neocons Javanka never expected Trump to be resurrected from the dead.
He learned nothing from his first term.
Ah yes, I rember those peaceful times. No bombs were dropped. No drones were flown. No sanctions were levied. The military was reduced and we went 4 years without a single threat to destroy Iran, North Korea, Syria, or Afghanistan.
And we had NO WAR in Ukraine. No genocide in Gaza. No Hundreds of Billions of $$ being allocated for foreign Wars.
I was responding to your claim that a vote for Trump would "bring back peace". He did those things I listed with gusto. Those aren't peaceful things.
If Trump doesn’t win the election that means a continuation of the status quo. Are you okay with that?
True, Trump not winning the election would mean a continuation of the status quo.
So would Trump winning the election.
Whether anyone’s okay with that or not.
Knapp gets up earlier than me. What he said.
You forgot to mention the US did nothing when Iran fired 20 or so missiles at USA airbase.
Did nothing? Iran responded to our assassinating Soleimani. And wink, wink, there were no casualties and we knew they were going to do it in advance.
No, I didn't forget to mention it. It's one of the few things he did right. Of course, he's the one who caused the retaliatory attack by Iran when he murdered their general.
' Need to get past the party politics. Trump will do no different. He will do what he is told. It will take actions beyond just voting to solve this problem.
Trump will “do what he is told”? Is that supposed to be a joke?
I agree. He will not do what he is told. However, he will be played and sucker into foolish decisions.
He did the first time. At least that's the excuse he was given every time he did something that he supposedly didn't want to do.
LOL.. What a joke. Voting for Trump the felon. He is all talk and no action. Maybe this time he will complete the wall and get Mexico to pay for it. LOL.
Netanyahu can't afford to deny the plan even to placate Washington's need for a CYA cover story, because it would upset the rest of the crazies in Israel.
Probably U.S.-Israel elite can accomplish the genocide in Gaza but hardly anyone outside Israel would be able to call it a success story. Geopolitically it is very harmful for U.S.
They . Do . Not . Care .
Because they are stupid.
In 20 years, if nothing extraordinary happens, we will have a different world where China is the only real superpower, much stronger than the rest of the world, and the gap will grow with increasing speed.
At the moment, Chinese quantum supercomputer is 10 billion times faster than the best American one. In genetic researches the gap is about the same.
It is time to think how to create a global political system where the weaker countries: Russia, India and U.S. can survive.
Participation in Palestinian genocide puts U.S. in a very vulnerable position. China has a good memory, and will be able to bring U.S. elite to the justice.
I agree. They have substituted excellence, industry, and any concern for citizenry with nothing but thug brute force. All for hegemonic greed.
I don't know how much China cares about the Palestinians … if their fellow Arabs in Jordan, Egypt and the Gulf nations cannot be bothered to put aside their materialism to stop an ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing operation, why should China (or Russia) bother?
China will probably care about general peace and good business and the constant chaos generation of the theocratic Israelis will not be appreciated … but money heals a lot of concerns.
As China is getting stronger, Chinese international activity will increase. China-Muslim world alliance has a bright future. China will not miss opportunity to use Palestinian genocide for undermining U.S. authority in Muslim world.
It is a great hope for many that this be decided at the International Criminal Court.
'May Golan, a member of Netanyahu’s Likud party and the minister for SOCIAL EQUALITY, called for a new “Nakba” in Gaza.'
wow
Does anyone still doubts that this GENOCIDE atop of APARTHEID against victims of GENOCIDE by the same heinously RACIST COLONIAL REGIME (under European and Yankee direction) since 1948?
What happened to never again! and not in our guard!? What happened to the ideals of democracy and humanism?
Both Major Burns, and joke, absolutely refuse to recognize the truth of the facts you state.
Now we’re supposed to view murderous Israelis as victims:

CNN published a piece today about Israeli soldiers returning from Gaza. One bulldozer driver testifies that they drove over Palestinians, dead and alive, "in the hundreds". This is genocidal and just breathtakingly evil.

Here's Caitlin's take:

…Speaking to foreign journalists, she vowed to renew the Jewish presence in Gaza within the next year. “Each of you will witness how Jews go to Gaza and Arabs will disappear from Gaza,” Weiss said.….

"Netanyahu rejected the request to publicly denounce the ethnic cleansing plan."
Well, he's got integrity. In that Lawful Evil kind of way.
Thanks for posting this!
Does not matter what Nutandyahoo says. What comes out of his mouth is nothing but vommit and bull-doo-doo anyway. Now, if Genocide Joe can come clean, and admit to the world what is going on…….
None of the stories you quote use the term "cleansing" to refer to the eradication of Palestinian human beings. Why do you? Do you consider them vermin or bacteria? That this will make Gaza "pure" as in the Nazi term judenrein? Is this the "antiwar" understanding?
Anybody surprised. From day one — all kinds of real estate plans were made for Gaza, including ny Trump’s son in law, Kushner. These plans were on place for decades. This is why Gaza was starved for decades, no imports to Gaza allowed except through Israel, and Israel charged heavy fees for performing this “service”. Turkish flotila violating Israeli boycot in Gaza by delivering aid directly to Gaza by sea — was attacked by Israel, many volunteers killed, and ship taken by Israel. No cement eas allowed to insure that bombed out buikdings cannit be rebuilt. Israel put Gaza on “callorie counting” program. So why shock? Same plan is now implemented freely, the excuse being the Octobet 7 jail breakout.
The demand forvPalestinians go “somewhere” has been repeated every decade going back to the forties.
