Doesn’t look like there will be much land left for the Palestinians.

And in other news, from the Guardian:

“Israel’s defence minister has said he is committed to the ethnic cleansing of Gaza through large-scale migration of Palestinians as part of Israel’s long-term plans for the territory.
Israel Katz said the government would implement a plan for large numbers of Palestinians to leave Gaza “at the right time and in the right manner”, in a statement on Wednesday marking the targeted killing of Mohammed Odeh, Hamas’s most recent military commander.
Pushing for mass departures violates Donald Trump’s ceasefire plan for Gaza, which Israel signed last year. The second point of the plan states: “Gaza will be redeveloped for the benefit of the people of Gaza, who have suffered more than enough.”
Israel’s government has promoted the prospect of Gaza without Palestinians since Trump suggested early last year that hundreds of thousands of people should leave to “clean out” the strip for reconstruction.
Last year Israel set up a bureau for “voluntary emigration” and eased travel restrictions for Palestinians who wanted to make a one-way journey out of the strip.
The forced transfer of civilian populations is a war crime and a crime against humanity. Israeli officials, including Katz, use the term “voluntary migration” to describe their ”

How about Israel stop trying to expand Israel and leave Palestine to the Palestinians? There’s a novel idea.

You do realise that Hamas attacked Israel and everything that followed was a direct response to that attack. You can make arguments about how stuff went down but Hamas are the ones that seem incapable of leaving Israel alone. See also Hezbollah. People act like 7th October didn’t happen, the rape, the sexualised torture, the mutilation.

Mmmm. I wonder if only Hamas would disarm and give up power whether that might help at all?

It's really odd how Palestinian agency is completely written out of so much 'pro Palestinian' discourse.

Edited

@dairydebris you know you’re not allowed to hold Hamas responsible for what has happened to Gaza under their “leadership” - not on this board.

You’re forgetting one simple rule on CITME - everything is Israel’s fault, always.

7/10/23 was their fault and so was their response to 7/10/23.

And even mentioning that date is frowned upon unless you’re criticising what Israel was doing on that date.

That wasn't what I said though. October 7th doesn't justify ethnic cleansing, of course it doesn't. My point is only that all of this is happening as a consequence of what Hamas did that day. If they hadn't done it, many would still be alive and the IDF wouldn't be in Gaza at all. If you ask anyone on the street they'll know that. Of course most will say Israel has gone too far and ethnic cleansing is unforgivable. The two are not mutually exclusive. The same as Hamas went too far on 7 October. Consequences have actions. Admitting that isnt the same as justifying it.

It's as if you're arguing with what you think i said rather than what I actually said. It's quite tedious.

Tedious you say🙄

Why are you cheerleading and justifying ethic cleansing and land stealing then, and attempting to claim that “the whole world agrees?!?” Because that’s exactly what you’re doing.

The horrific attack of 7th oct is almost 3 years away now, thank goodness. But the onslaught into Gaza/WB/Lebanon continues as we type, some 3 years later., and the land will get stolen by the Israeli govt, sliced and diced beneath our eyes probably as news events elsewhere distract us.

That's disgusting, and I have no idea why this Israeli government are in any way shape or form an ally of any in the west.

I think Israel is heading into pariah state category, and that’s (for the sake of one man,BN and his govt) a really bad thing for everyone.

Yes. Quite aware thanks. However, does that make it ok for Israel to get rid of Palestine, Lebanon and Syria? Which is currently what they are doing.

You know what, I am genuinely passed caring. Why oh why are we so obsessed with Israel and Gaza? (Don’t bother answering, I do know the answer.). Shit goes on around the world every day with folk, usually women and children, suffering and dying. We cannot sort it all out. We cannot sort any of it out. All the aggressive marches in London with people shouting in people’s faces. People standing for Parliament and local councils on the Gaza issue. Has it done any good at all? Not a jot. Trump will Trump, Bibi will Bibi. The world will turn.

I genuinely DO NOT CARE. Ce sera sera.

I do care, but I agree with you. All these marches in London cause is distress to Jewish people living here. It's performance compassion at its best whilst giving support to actual terrorists. I'm not sure why people who go on these marches can't see this. And the MPs spouting on about Gaza while ignoring issues that actually might make a difference to their constituents actively harms us.

I repeat:

The expansion of Israeli military operations in south Lebanon is “completely unacceptable” Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares has said.
“Israel must accept that the other countries have exactly the same right that Israel has to have their own state and to have a state in peace and security,” Mr Albares said at a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Cyprus.
“Israel has a right to have its state peacefully and in security, but the Palestinian people, the Lebanese people, have exactly the same right.”

Israel have moved the yellow line constantly since October. It went from 53% to 64% and Netanyahu has just ordered it to be moved to 70%. People are going to sleep in their tents and waking to bulldozers moving blocks so they are now in the fire line .

In one of the most densely populated country condensing people even further is criminal.

What on earth, Hezbollah breeched the ceasefire agreement. They attacked Israel on the 8th October when Israel didn’t even understand what had just happened to them. If you do that then yes ofcourse they are going to come over to you and kick your arse.

They aren’t destroying syria… they nabbed some land to create a buffer because no-one knows if Jolani is jihadi nutcase or not, same reason they destroyed their airforce, to prevent an attack from Syria. if anything Shria is unstable because of Isis, al-qaeda and turkish jihadi militias running around whilst they are trying to integrate alwaites, christian, druze, shia into some sort of nation state because for some reason in much of the middle east can see a minority group without trying to kill them. In the future you will see a land for peace deal like the one with Egypt.

You been watching too much nonsense on the internet.

What a fantastic contribution to a thread about Palestinians bring ethnically cleansed.

All you seem capable of is accusing anyone with a different opinion to you of supporting Hamas Hezbollah IRGC. Whatever you think of posters here I don't think many would launch onto a thread about atrocities inflicted on innocent civilians with a post like yours.

Do you usually refer to such statements as

A great evil
A permanent shame
A wrong that will haunt you forever

As cheerleading?

Do you usually accuse people of saying the exact opposite of what they've repeatedly and observably said?

It's not great form is it?

And by the way, there's absolutely no 'thank goodness' about October 7. Ridiculous thing to say. I'd never come on here and say 'thank goodness' its 3 years since the death of Hind Rajab or any innocent Palestinian. Honestly.

Really, really poor form.

A woman who survived October 7th told how she was raped and stabbed and as she lay, believing she was dying, she watched her friend go through the same. They cut off her friend’s breasts and they laughed, kicking them down the street, like a ball.

Hamas are not resistance fighters. They have no uniforms. They hide behind civilians. They are monsters whose doctrine dictates that all Jews must be eradicated from the face of the earth. That is why other Muslim countries won’t take the extremists in. How do you make peace with people who will never stop trying to kill you?

Ffs. And the amount of times it’s been vehemently and angrily denied on here. Obviously we all knew. They’ll set about the West Babk next, I suppose.

HOWEVER thats an opinion poll, I believe ours show people think we should bring back capital punishment. Yet we haven’t.

Because some factions in the marches are being supported by the extremists and the others are brainwashed. Look at the content of the chants and banners before the government stepped in. Some people may be the old fashioned anti war be kind, but many are purely antisemites.

Actually according to international law that is so beloved by people on these boards, if you have an entity in your country that keeps attacking another country and you are unable to stop them doing it the other country is perfectly entitled to come in and disarm them.

Hezbollah does not have a blank cheque on firing at other countries. Literally no group has a right to fire without being fired upon. It’s a fundamental and basic principle. Otherwise no country would be able to protect themselves from aggression from non state actors.
