Rights advocates in the United States are urging President Joe Biden to end his administration’s “complicity” in Israeli rights abuses after key members of Israel’s government backed the idea of pushing Palestinians out of Gaza.
Far-right Israeli ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich said this week that Israel should “encourage emigration” from the coastal enclave, home to an estimated 2.3 million Palestinians.
“If there are 100,000 or 200,000 Arabs in Gaza and not two million Arabs, the entire discussion on the day after [the war ends] will be totally different,” Smotrich said on Sunday, calling for the “voluntary migration” of Palestinians.
A day later, Ben-Gvir, who oversees national security, made a similar appeal, saying it was “a correct, just, moral and humane solution”, Israeli media outlets reported.
You went to all the effort to cite Tutu and yet provide no evidence for this, because they’re not, and they literally have representation in Israel’s government.
Yeah, because everyone knows that having 1/12 of the knesset be Arabs means that there’s not systemic inequality and oppression of Arabs and other minority groups! 🤦
here’s some evidence you’re gonna ignore or pretend to refute.
It’s proportionate to their population.
This article is about the Palestinian territory, a different country than Israel.
Lol they literally acknowledge it.
No. As pointed out in the article you just pretended to have read, the Jewish and Palestine populations of the territories controlled by Israel are roughly equal.
“between the Mediterranean Sea and Jordan River, an area encompassing Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT)”.
It’s right in the opening sentence of the fucking summary the report starts with ffs! 🤦
Gaza is not in Israel lol. It’s an occupied territory, not part of their country. Hamas runs Gaza as the official government.
Gaza is de facto controlled by Israel and as such is their responsibility.
Even if Hamas wasn’t a terrorist organization first, a political advocacy group second and a government as a WAY distant third, they still wouldn’t be able to properly take care of the people of Gaza, given the inhumane conditions created and enforced by Israel.
Both of these statements are false. Not “I disagree.” They are false and they would offend the fuck out of Gazans.
They control the food supply, the water supply, the power supply, the fuel supply, the medicine supply and the international aid supply.
That means that they’re in control and it’s in no way offensive towards Gazans to acknowledge that.
Hamas didn’t build any infrastructure with Iran’s money. They built bombs. Israel voluntarily provided power to Gaza, but is under no compulsion to provide power to an enemy they’re actively at war with.
