https://www.timesofisrael.com/ministers-call-for-resettling-gazas-palestinians-building-settlements-in-strip/

three ministers in Israel's far right government have called for depopulation of gaza and replacement of the arab population with jewish colonists

the finance minister Bezalel Smotrich (author of the 2017 Smotrich plan for ethnically cleansing the palestinian territories) said that the solution to the war was "to encourage the voluntary migration of Gaza’s residents to countries that will agree to take in the refugees" adding that "Israel will permanently control the territory of the Gaza Strip"

security minister Itamar Ben Gvir said that the war was "an opportunity to concentrate on encouraging the migration of the residents of Gaza" and added that "
“We cannot withdraw from any territory we are in in the Gaza Strip. Not only do I not rule out Jewish settlement there, I believe it is also an important thing"

intelligence minister Gilia Gamliel also called for "voluntary resettlement" for gazans outside of gaza in an article for the jerusalem post

can migration really be called voluntary when the alternative is being killed? is ethnic cleansing ever a legitimate form of self defence? 

the USA has rebuked two of the ministers

why do you keep trying to drag the discussion back to "islam" when the OP is about statements made by israeli ministers?

[ToraToraTora]

....because all of this is the result of Islam's intentions.

[naomi24]

We've already established that what the ministers have said is not government policy.   What more is to be said?

[naomi24]

Oh, and they're not endorsing ethnic cleansing either.  Maybe you should start again, untitled.

[ToraToraTora]

The only people endorsing "Ethnic cleansing" is the world of Islam.

that's not actually what the article says though naomi... what it says is that officials in the US state department "have been told repeatedly and consistently" that it isn't israeli government policy... which isn't the same thing at all. when so many powerful people in the israeli government say these things then it seems more likely to me that the USA is being told what it wants to hear rather than the truth.

[naomi24]

You've already said you don't believe it.

"The only people endorsing "Ethnic cleansing" is the world of Islam."

well Russia also aspires to doing it in ukraine so that is just plain wrong lol. "the world of islam" is also a very different thing from hamas.

@15.29.Away and haver to yourself Untitled.Are you denying that this latest spat was ultimately caused by the Hamas terrorists on 7th October?Yes or no?

[Untitled]

yes. i think that is reductive. 

[ToraToraTora]

Russia are not trying to kill or convert all the non Russians in the world.

[royfromaus]

Is it about to kick off in Iran?

[naomi24]

Untitled, you're mistaken.  The world of Islam isn't different from Hamas.  It's official name is the Islamic Resistance Movement.  

[Untitled]

and the official name of North Korea is Democratic Peoples Republic of North Korea... does that mean they're democratic? 

[Untitled]

(notice once again the topic has been dragged back kicking and screaming to hamas because people don't want to talk about the OP)

[naomi24]

No, untitled, but Islamic means Islamic.

 

I don't know what else there is to say about the OP.  Ethnic cleansing are your words, voluntary resettlement isn't government policy anyway - and you don't believe it.  What more is there to say?

 

 

[THECORBYLOON]

Does a group with a name including the word, "Christian" mean it must have the support of every Christian, regardless of its objectives?

[naomi24]

You need to rethink that question, Corby.  I think you've got it back to front.

[THECORBYLOON]

What about the IRA, INLA or the IPLO, does or did every Irish person support their bombing campaigns?

 

[naomi24]

You've got this back to front, Corby.  We're not talking about their supporters.  We're talking about who Hamas is.
