Israeli Minister Discovers Palestinians Don't Exist, 75 Years Late
Ben-Gvir's verbal erasure isn't new; it's practically doctrine. Golda Meir herself famously stated in 1969, 'There was no such thing as Palestinians.' This isn't just a denial of identity; it's a rhetorical precursor to the ongoing dispossession that began with the Nakba in 1948, when 700,000 Palestinians were forcibly expelled from their homes. Today, the world shrugs when a sitting minister
claims millions of people, currently undergoing bombardment, are merely phantoms. How convenient for those supplying the bombs. (Source: RT - Middle East) One might wonder if the next stage involves declaring gravity optional, especially for settlements. This 'non-existence' narrative allows for policies that would otherwise be called ethnic cleansing, repackaged as merely managing 'unoccupied'
territory. The only thing that doesn't exist, apparently, is accountability for such hateful rhetoric from figures like Ben-Gvir.
