An Israeli settler leader has told a conference on Israel’s frontier with Gaza that Palestinians will “disappear” from the territory and said that thousands of people stand ready to move there "from north to south”.
Addressing a conference on Monday also attended by Israeli Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and Knesset members from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party, Daniella Weiss called for Palestinians living in Gaza to be relocated to other countries.
“We came here with one clear purpose: the purpose is to settle the entire Gaza Strip, not just part of it, not just a few settlements, the entire Gaza Strip from north to south,” said Weiss.
Weiss, the leader of Nachala, an orthodox settler movement which organised the conference, said there were six settler groups and more than 700 families looking to settle in Gaza, where more than 42,600 Palestinians have been killed since Israel launched its war against Hamas in October last year following the Hamas-led attacks in southern Israel.
Weiss’s comments were echoed by Ben Gvir, who later told the crowd: “We are the owners of the land”. Ben Gvir also called for Palestinians in Gaza to “voluntarily” transfer to other countries.
Monday’s conference, which was billed by organisers as “a celebration for the preparation of settling Gaza", took place near Reim kibbutz, with the sound of Israel’s ongoing bombardment of northern Gaza audible in the background and with smoke rising over the horizon a few kilometres to the west.
This woman is evil. I’d like to “resettle” her to prison.
You’re much kinder than I.
I think she should be settled into a hole in the ground.
Tally Gotliv, a Likud MP, told MEE: “We need to occupy the complete land of Israel. There are no innocent people in Gaza. Everybody who has refused to leave the north is a collaborator.”
Monday’s event took place against the backdrop of an escalating military assault on northern Gaza where hundreds of thousands of Palestinians remained trapped and subjected to daily air strikes.
The assault came amid reports from Israel that the military has started to implement a strategy known as “the Generals’ Plan” which called for the ethnic cleansing of the north of the territory, and condemnation by aid groups who warned last week that northern Gaza is being “erased”.
This is their plan. They’re doing it right now. I can’t imagine how folks will deny this, I guess they’ll move onto justify.
Are more and more people of orthodox faith turning against the humanitarian values that religion supposedly have?
There have always been some Orthodox Jewish people that have objected to Zionism since it’s inception. I’m not sure if they have grown or not recently, but it’s important to recognize that Zionism is not and doesn’t represent Judaism
Absolutely. And it’s also important to remember that the inhabitants of a group are all individuals with different traits and characteristics. One example could be that there are clearly a lot of batshit crazy republicans, but I’m sure there are republicans who are decent people too. Arnie seems to have mellowed into a pretty ok bloke.
Adi Callai touches on the concept of a counter-identity, one available to anyone who participates in the struggle of resistance. It’s about 10 min into the last section, Lessons from the Resistance, in his latest video The Gaza Ghetto Uprising. All of his videos are really well sourced and presented concisely, highly recommended.
While Anti-zionists may be a small minority in Israel right now, it can certainly still grow. I think the idea about how anyone who participates in anti-colonialst resistance against the State can belong to that counter-identity is powerful. It can extend to not only Israelis but anyone globally who joins the resistance by whatever means they can. It comes from the works of Basil Al-Araj who drew from the works of Franz Fanon.
This needs to be marked as another case in point for all the people who want to argue it’s not a genocide.

Jesus Christ
Was a Palestinian Jew and would probably be persecuted, tortured and killed by the modern state of Israel.
The Jews in Jerusalem sent him to be crucified, so maybe not all that much has changed.
I’m very much opposed to the zionist colonial project in it’s entirety.
However, what you are espousing here is blatant anti-semitism.
I mean, I’m neither a biblical scholar nor someone who holds a group of people accountable today for actions melenia ago, but isn’t he correct? Could you explain what’s wrong with the statement?
The Jews in Jerusalem sent him to be crucified, so maybe not all that much has changed.
The Implication in that sentence is that the jewish people were firstly responsible for the death of christ, and also that this refers to some underlying nefarious murderous aspect to jewish people that the commenter is suggesting persists to the modern day. How else would you read this comment in the context of this conversation? What else could be intended by “so maybe not all that much has changed.”
I am speaking only about extremists like Zionists. I imply nothing.
Interesting then that you chose to link modern zionism with jews in ancient Jerusalem. Also interesting is your omission of the term zionist. No, your comment states a continuity from ancient jews to modern ones in the context of the ancient ones having murdered christ. That’s anti-semitism. Whether you will openly agree or not isn’t particularly relevant.
Sadly, this tracks
Daniella Weiss called for Palestinians living in Gaza to be relocated to other countries.
Relocated to where? Israel? What she means is to kill them all, right?
Remember in the Bible how Jews had no home for the entirety of history and then they went to Canaan and threw the Canaanites out?
That.
Sounds like bog standard language of ethnic cleansing to me. Still amazed how many people refuse to call a Nazi a Nazi.
I hope this cunt and all her friends are dragged through Nuremberg 2.0. “Never again”, right guys?
Once again, all of these colonizers need to be sent back to their countries of origin and the state of Israel dismantled. They are geonicidal colonialist and there isn’t an innocent among them.

Ironically I think that ship has sailed
And in my next trick I’ll teleport Palestinians to their early grave
I wonder if any of this will at all backfire for Israel in the near future, especially considering they have the complete backing of the USA.
Serbia’s genocide backfired when the Bosnians suddenly started covertly receiving ATGMs via Pakistan which changed the tide of the war.
I just don’t see that happening here when Gaza doesn’t even have a friendly/neutral neighbor to the south, let alone a country willing to actually help. Egypt doesn’t even want to take refugees. Seems like Israel is just gonna steamroll ahead and we won’t even learn the full extent of the genocide for several decades :/
