Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has appointed a new spokesman who is a proponent of establishing Jewish settlements in Gaza and expelling Palestinians from the territory, Haaretz has reported.
Omer Dostri, who is a regular guest on Israel’s Channel 14, was appointed to the new role on Sunday. He is aligned with the Israeli right and has a history of calling for policies that would result in the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Gaza.
“There is no victory over Hamas without three basic conditions: military occupation of the entire Gaza Strip, military and civilian control of the area, and encouragement of voluntary migration of Gazans out of the strip,” Dostri said in January.
While framing the idea of expelling Palestinians as “voluntary migration,” the Israeli military campaign is making Gaza uninhabitable and could give Palestinians no choice but to leave if they have the option. Dostri has suggested Egypt should be offered economic or military aid to agree to the transfer of “Gaza refugees to Sinai, even if only temporarily.”
Dostri has also called for Israel to establish settlements in the areas of Gaza that it currently occupies. “Israel must order the rapid establishment of Israeli settlements in many of the areas it occupies, especially those close to the current border,” Dostri wrote in Makor Rishon.
The Israeli military controls about 26% of Gaza’s territory, including a “buffer zone” that was established along the entire Israel-Gaza border. In these areas, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) has demolished most structures and has established some military bases.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has claimed he does not plan on establishing settlements in Gaza, but members of his coalition government and Likud party openly support the idea. Appointing a spokesman who favors settlements in Gaza also signals that the prime minister is aligned with that viewpoint.
And the interesting question, what if they don't want to voluntarily relocate?
It doesn't matter, because they have nowhere to go in any case right now.
They go yon. Get bombed. They go wither. Get bombed. Stay. Get bombed. The picture cannot be more clear.
Effectively you become an "untouchable", jim-crowed and shat upon, untermensch.
They’ve been so destroyed now. It’s like Israel is demonstrating that no one actually cares what’s done to them. Israel just brazenly commits atrocities to prove how no one cares.
So, I assume the answer is Israel will just kill many of those who remain. It could, for example, figure who wants to stay before the evacuation, then target those people after declaring them terrorists.
It’s really remarkable. It’s like they’re demonstrating how most laws, ethics, treaties, fiction, history, etc is just propaganda. But they’re pure evil and will do anything. I’m not saying Israel is evil; I’m saying it’s like. It’s like it’s intentional to send a message.
never again has become right here, right now and in HD. I read somewhere that about 1% of the population is being killed monthly which is approximately the same rate as that other thing.
We mayn’t even question or debate many aspects of the other thing…
I’m not saying Israel is evil; I’m saying it’s like. It’s like it’s intentional to send a message.
Which means they are evil. You can't sustain it this long without being certifiably evil.
But if I say that, then who isn’t evil?
I guess we need to embrace how the foundation of ethics is often belief in the immortal soul, as a created being. We’re clearly not seeing that here.
US: Ethnic cleansing is bad, except if done for "Freedom and Democracy" by our evil friends.
Rules based order! Protect sacred Democracy. Maybe the justification will become lgbt rights…
The objective has always been: the entire territory of the British Mandate. Still missing: Gaza and the West Bank.
Israel is an ILLEGAL State, a Terrorist State and time for all Nations to abide by the Rule of Law. Nations need to stop recognizing Israel, stop supporting Israel, start telling the Zionist to LEAVE and ARM the Palestinians so they can rightfully defend themselves. Israel only exist because so called "Free People" arm them to commit Genocide against people who want their "Freedom". Do Western Nations even know the meaning of "Freedom"?
If cleansing Gaza were easy, Israel would have done it long ago. They still have the intractable problem – there is nowhere to send the Palestinians to, and their kill rate is many orders of magnitude short of solving the problem that way. Maybe if Israel destroys Iran in a nuclear war, they can deport all the Palestinians from Gaza, West Bank, and Lebanon to Iran.
" their kill rate is many orders of magnitude short of solving the problem that way" In other words, Israel is not committing true genocide.
"Israel is not committing true genocide."
If so, it's not for a lack of effort.
Death to Israel!
Tim, seriously?!
You, thus, imply by such a statement that ethnic cleansing is okay?! Shame, shame, shame! I know your name!!!
Truth?! Truth?! Hell is about to freeze over!!!
Um, many will die from disease, poor nutrition, small treatable injuries.
It seems that blessed Israel is efforting to usher in a Third World War!!!
From what I have learned about Zionism since last October, ethnic cleansing ("encouragement of voluntary migration of Gazans out of the strip") has always been the long-term project.
The 2009 book by Schlomo Sand, The Invention of the Jewish People, is a good one-volume source though a rather long read. But as a quicker read, just google the statements of Ben-Gurion, Moshe Dayan, Golda Meir, Yitzhak Shamir, and almost every other Israeli prime minister.
Here are two relevant quotes from Yitzhak Rabin, who was mild by Zionist standards and received a Nobel Peace Prize in 1994:
"[Israel will] create in the course of the next 10 or 20 years conditions which would attract natural and voluntary migration of the refugees from the Gaza Strip and the west Bank to Jordan. To achieve this we have to come to agreement with King Hussein and not with Yasser Arafat."
"I believe that in the long run, separation between Israel and the Palestinians is the best solution for resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict."

Unlike Netanyahu, Rabin believed in a kinder, gentler path toward cleansing Eretz Israel of its pesky Palestinian inhabitants. By creating "conditions that would attract natural and voluntary migration of the refugees from the Gaza Strip and the west Bank." He just kept quiet about what those conditions would be and how to create them, i.e., by turning Gaza into a concentration camp.
Death to Israel!
Who cares? Did anyone not already know that ethnic cleansing – or genocide – is Israel's goal?
"……. Netanyahu has claimed he does not plan on establishing settlements in Gaza……". Sooooo. Netanahu declares that part (or all) of Gaza is now Israel THEN the settlers steal the land. " Our" Congress will applaud.
Perfect pretense for more ethnic cleansing/Genocide Israeli style. What could possibly go WRONG?? The Nazis did it but oops, lost a big piece of their state sovereignty. But maybe the clever NuttrYahu crew of Zionists can evade any consequences from his/Israeli genocide & ethnic cleansing & make a bundle on the 40,000 who they killed to take their homes. Such nice folks. Scar Chasm warning…!!!
The Nazi "Final Solution"?
History repeats itself, dear ISRAHELL?!
