Shadowy Group for Gaza Evictions Gets Israeli Endorsement, Naturally
The article delicately frames this as a 'man says' claim, when Israel's long-standing policy of population transfer in Gaza is hardly a secret. This isn't just about a 'shadowy group'; it's the latest iteration of a decades-old goal, openly discussed by Israeli officials from Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich to coalition members advocating for 'voluntary migration.' Recall the Nakba of 1948,
1967, and countless smaller expulsions: the playbook is well-thumbed. Instead of addressing Gaza's destruction, which renders it uninhabitable as per numerous UN reports, the world is asked to gaze upon a humanitarian evacuation to 'unknown destinations.' How many times must a population be ’temporarily’ displaced before we call it what it is? One might wonder what percentage of US aid, like the
$14 billion in supplementary funding recently approved, indirectly props up these 'logistical' arrangements.
