The Israeli military is preventing residents of Jabalia in northern Gaza from returning to their homes as part of an ethnic cleansing campaign, Haaretz reported on Wednesday.
The report said the military is blocking the return of approximately 50,000 residents of Jabalia due to pressure from Israeli political leadership. It said the Israeli army acknowledged it’s carrying out a partial implementation of the “general’s plan,” which calls for a complete ethnic cleansing of all areas of Gaza north of the Netzarim Corridor, a strip of land controlled by the Israeli military.
As part of the ethnic cleansing campaign, Israel has cut off virtually all aid deliveries into northern Gaza since the beginning of October, and no aid has reached Jabalia or the areas around it. The Haaretz report said senior Israeli military and Shin Bet officials acknowledged the general’s plan violates international law but are claiming the partial implementation does not, even though it has involved a starvation blockade and large-scale attacks on civilians.
The report said residents of Jabalia “will only be allowed to return after Israeli security control over the area is complete, including designating parts of it demilitarized buffer zones.” However, the general’s plan does not say Palestinians can return to the north once they’re cleansed, and Israeli soldiers have been destroying buildings in Jabalia, so they have nowhere to go back to.
Younis Tirawi, a Palestinian journalist who closely follows the social media activity of Israeli soldiers, shared a video on X of a bulldozer destroying a building in Jabalia that was posted by an Israeli soldier. “Making sure they have nowhere to return to,” the post says.
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.
Our tax dollars at work.
This is the sickest part, along with bought off creatures like Bill Clinton calling genocide "necessary."
Someone certainly doesn't want certain recordings from Epstein's plane getting out. . .
As the occupying power, it’s the Likud’s responsibility under law to secure the safety of the Arab civilians. That would mean feeding, housing, etc. Outside the battle zone in places like Jaffa, Beersheba, Deir Yassin, etc.

Israel- "We are above the laws of common men!"
For Israel it's all or nothing. Thus they will end up with nothing.
Live by the sword, die by the sword. Israel makes its own bed so let them sleep in it!

Given the projected future population growth of Israel and the need for settler's land outside the contentious West Bank, the Hamas attack was a godsend for Netanyahu to add needed land to Israel for future Israeli's. I would not be surprised if Israel will try to also permanently occupy parts of Southern Lebanon a la the Golan Heights. And, eventually, Israel will try to drive all Palestinians of the West Bank into Jordan. Demography demands it. The world will do nothing.
This is now what the West stands for. Still pontificating about human rights, democracy and all the things that don't apply to us. Political elites just flat out a bunch of unconscionable war criminals. The press gone in full Goebbelsian mode. Journalism dead. Academia subservient to murderous ideology. Even "progressive" Hollywood mums the word. We desperately need to clean the house. And whoever thinks that implies violence is the problem.
In this nihilism we are witnessing the blooming of Postmodernism, the end of the narratives of law and virtue; and the manhood of the revaluation of values begun with the 60 yr Western kulturkampf.
Can someone explain to me how when the Nazi party practices Lebensraum it’s evil but when the Zionist government does it, it’s totally ok?

Yes, the vicious self reinforcing cycle. Zugzwang. Every decision option is a bad one, not making a decision is not an option.

Sure, let's call them 'homes".
Yep. Rubble, tents, graveyards, All interchangeable.
Isnt thsi the core of the problem? STEALING OTHERS LAND AND THEN REFUSING THEIR RETURN???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Since no neighboring country wants to take them and thus become an enabler, there is only one option left to land acquisition.
Are you referring, to the jews, or the palestinians? Or, maybe another semitic group?
No one wants to take in the Palestinians, because this enables Israel to steal their land.
That’s what he’s saying.
In truth, someone would take them in, however. The reason they aren’t deported is it’s more profitable to attack them with weapons.

Israel may destroy all of the northern Gaza buildings and residential homes but Hamas is alive and well in their tunnels, and the resistance would continue…!
They’ll be starved out, flooded. The North will lose.
The Israeli hostages will be starved first…! Flooding the tunnels happened before and didn’t work…!
Israel doesn’t care about the hostages, and there couldn’t be many still living.
Israel has already "lost" this "war"!
Not if it manages to expel them. That’s always been the goal.
"Tunnels"? The whole world is a "tunnel" Israel should be worried about now!
Is it any wonder the Pro-War Neocons want Trump's head on a silver platter? Trump has transformed the OLD ESTABLISHMENT GOP beyond recognition:

All I’m saying about Liz Cheney is that she is a War Hawk, and a dumb one at that, but she wouldn’t have “the guts” to fight herself. It’s easy for her to talk, sitting far from where the death scenes take place, but put a gun in her hand, and let her go fight, and she’ll say, “No thanks!” Her father decimated the Middle East, and other places, and got rich by doing so. He’s caused plenty of DEATH, and probably never even gave it a thought. That’s not what we want running our Country!

There should have been a mass arrest of the Israeli leadership in Tel Aviv and Washington a long time ago. The world is standing there watching the extermination of a nation. To think that the Biden scum claims there is no evidence of genocide is mindboggling.
It is outrageous what trash the democratic leaders in advanced western Democracies have become.
