WTAF - Israeli settlers targeting Gaza beach front properties

Israeli conduct has been disgraceful, no one should be pretending this isn’t ethnic cleansing and what she said is horrendous, but I do think giving this woman airtime is irresponsible. She is just going be used as ammunition to abuse people in the way that a general article focusing on government policy around settlements, for example, might not be.

Yep seems to sum it up, sadly.

Wow! MN is on my ass on this thread. Deleted again? For what?’ My father was a Holocaust survivor. I’m allowed to staunchly dislike genocide. 🙄

A globally backed genocide and vetoed UN ceasefire tells the settlers they’ve won. They’ve got their Gold Coast. Next stop on Israel’s gravy train: Rafah.

It’s vile, being going on for years but really ramping up now. I guess settlers are even more emboldened now they know so many Palestinians have been killed.

It is so twisted, as you watch the death and destruction in Gaza your first thought is about how seafront properties would look when you clear the area of the pesky Gazans and make it your own. Some of these people are too awful to be believed

What shocked me about the article was that there are 700,000 illegal settlers now. I had no idea that 10% of Israelis were illegal settlers, it's always spoken about as if it is some kind of fringe movement that is looked down upon by most. I thought it was 1 or 2% at the very most not 1 in 10 Israelis are actual illegal settlers. From the way its spoken about I would have thought maybe 1 in 10 are kind of in favour of it not 1 in 10 participate.

I was coming to leave a similar post in the settlers thread.

a new event in new jersey for Americans buying houses in Israel. The last time they were selling houses .. this included some areas of the West Bank

It’s a nation state established through the mass torture, murder and ethnic cleansing of the indigenous population in 1948 and the subsequent denial of having done so.

Israel has been voting in the ultra far-right Likud party nearly every year since 1977, 16 years with Netanyahu at its helm. Their manifesto states that Israel should take over all of Palestine as well as parts of Lebanon, Egypt, Jordan, Syria…Its founder Menachem Begin was classed a “terrorist” by the UK no less.

Latest polls show 90% of Israelis remain anti ceasefire and 70% want the removal of Palestinians from Gaza and are against the aid drops.

Illegal settlements in Gaza (for a second time) are the natural conclusion of this ethnic cleansing program and supremacist ideology that founded the nation.

I am looking forward, however, to some uneducated Mumsnet members trying to justify this, the unjustifiable, as they have done on every thread related to this issue.

Exceedingly unlikely, given that several of them are settlers - and not the "moved to a settlement just outside of Jerusalem for the lower cost of living - doesn't really care about the legal and moral issues" kind either but the proper Jewish supremacy openly racist and fascist kind ...

I wouldn’t imagine the Israeli government are especially bothered given their track record on illegal settlements and aggressive settlers so far.
