On Monday, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich called for massive destruction in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, saying several cities should look like Gaza’s Jabalia.
“Funduq, Nablus, and Jenin must look like Jabalia,” Smotrich wrote on X. The Israeli military has almost completely destroyed the Jabalia refugee camp as part of an ethnic cleansing campaign in northern Gaza.
Smotrich’s call for escalation in the West Bank came after a shooting attack killed three Israeli settlers, including two women, near an illegal settlement. “The terrorism in Judea and Samaria and the terrorism from Gaza and Iran is the same terrorism – and it must be defeated,” Smotrich, a settler himself, wrote on X.
“Those who trust the Palestinian Authority to maintain the security of Israeli citizens wake up to a morning when terrorists are again slaughtering Jewish residents,” he added.
Smotrich said the Palestinian West Bank cities need to look like Jabalia so “Kfar Saba does not become Kfar Aza, God forbid,” referring to a central Israel town and a Gaza border town hit by Hamas on October 7.
A community note added to his post on X noted that Smotrich had previously called Hamas an “asset” to Israel. “Bezalel Smotrich is the one who said that Hamas is an asset on the Knesset channel, and therefore, the concept he opposes in the post is his own,” the community note reads.
The note was referring to comments Smotrich made in 2015. “The PA is a liability and Hamas is an asset,” Smotrich said. “On the international playing field in this game of delegitimization, think about for a second, the PA is a liability and Hamas is an asset. It’s a terrorist organization. Nobody will recognize it, nobody will give it status at the ICC [International Criminal Court] and nobody will let them push resolutions at the UN [causing us to] need an American veto.”
Once again, this is either Israel "killing its own population" which according to DC when they push that line requires R2P regime change… or it's a war crime attack on a foreign population who have a right to self-defense. Israel can't be allowed to continue to get away with the claim that Palestinians are neither Israelis nor foreigners.
“the claim that Palestinians are neither Israelis nor foreigners”
That claim is precisely what makes the Israeli regime an “apartheid” regime. The populations of the occupied areas are treated exactly like the populations of South Africa’s “Bantustans.”
Worse now, Israel chose to kill as many Palestinians as they can. So. Africa reformed their apartheid agenda, but now many blacks are chanting kill the white farmers. Evil always finds a way to corrupt reforms, doesn't it?
Life expectancy for a white South African is 71 and for a black South African is 48. We might say the continued economic arrangement is chanting rather loudly. https://www.mzansimirror.com/life-expectancy-south-africa/
What does that have to do with wanting to kill the farmers that feed them? If the white farmers leave or are murdered, SA will wind up like Zimbabwe after they kicked out the white farmers; now they can’t feed themselves and rely on aid to eat.
That’s a good issue for the black gov. there to take up, isn’t it? But, if all the farmers are killed or banished, SA will turn into another Zimbabwe who did that and can’t feed themselves and rely on foreign aid.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. This guy should be hung by his balls. A fucking Donald Trump /Joe Biden clone.
… But Hanging By His Balls doesn't finish him…!
If you let him hang long enough it will.
We enjoy plain English wars! Thanx! Keep um coming!
Your cheap and vulgar smear against Trump has no basis.
The most recent development is:
Trump Shares Video Saying Netanyahu Conned America Into War with Iraq and is Pushing War with Iran
But I do not expect you to actually follow matters, you would rather curse.
Trump speaks out of both sides of his mouth, is he going down the tubes to Biden land?
"Your cheap and vulgar smear against Trump has no basis."
"No basis"? Whoah, fella – yr saying the proud-t'-be-a-p*ssy-grabber felon is ball-challenged? Like, literally has no stones to be hung by???
Other than the shit that pours out of his mouth, you're right, my "vulgar" smear was uncalled for. /s
And why do you continuously make a point of Trump not liking Netanyahu? Do you think Trump is on the verge of becoming pro-Palestinian and will cut Israel off as soon as he's elected? Or maybe Trump just sees a way of getting back at Netanyahu for having the gall to congratulate pudding brain on winning the election. But, either way, that doesn't mean Trump's loyalty towards Israel is in danger. He'd back any goon who might take Netanyahu's place including this piece of shit Smotrich.
No Hamas in the West Bank. No hostages. Funny that.
Where is the band of apologias? What will they come up with? It’s got to be really creative.
I vote for octopuses taking over the world. Humans have proven incapable.
The zionist supremacists are using the opportunity to destroy and seize. Biden just gave them $8 billion more for weapons. No one is stopping them, yet.
"[Smotrich] said several West Bank cities should look like Gaza's Jabalia, which has almost been completely destroyed by the IDF"
good timing for another 'israeli high official crimes against humanity' icc arrest warrant
Finally a solution. Once you have started with genocide, and nobody is really complaining all that much, might as well take it to its logical conclusion.
One thing is certain – The West Bank is far more important to Israel than Gaza.
