Israel 'seize' more than 50% of Gaza.

Israeli newspaper Haaretz notes this expansive zone being carved out in southern Gaza covers an area that's roughly 29 square miles. The newspaper reports Israeli officials have not yet decided whether the entire area will be designated a buffer zone that's off-limits to civilians, like other parts of Gaza, or whether it will be fully leveled to the ground with the entire city of Rafah wiped out.
This is just crazy. Israel haven't decided yet whether they will steal the land or if they will just level everyone's homes and business and schools and medical facilities to the ground. What's it called when you forcibly remove people of a certain ethnicity or religion from their land again?
In addition to expanding its buffer zones, Israel's military is dividing Gaza through two corridors. During most of the war it had isolated northern Gaza and Gaza City from the rest of the territory with the Netzarim corridor.
So in addition to stealing land they are splitting Gaza in 2 to make sure they have complete control over Palestinians this is on top of isolating them from Egypt to make sure they have no escape from this control. You wouldn't expect Palestinians to have self determination anyway, that sounds too much like basic human rights and what have they done to deserve to be treated like everyone else?
Remember it was never about land, it's just a coincidence that the democratically elected government of Israel have spent decades stealing land in the West Bank and a coincidence that they now are rampantly stealing more in multiple territories. Has no bright spark in Israel realised that you can have 'buffer zones' on your own land and don't need to steal Palestinian, Syrian and Lebanese land? Oh wait then you wouldn't be able to take tourists on jolly little trips to show off the beauty of your freshly stolen land would you. It's definitely not about land though 😳
