Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Wants To “Thin Out” Palestinians In Gaza, Report Said
Many have pointed out “thinning out” is just an euphemism for ethnic cleansing.
A bombshell report has revealed that Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu wants to “thin out” Palestinians in Gaza “to a minimum”.
The report was published on Dec. 1 by the Israel Hayom newspaper, which is largely seen as a mouthpiece for Netanyahu, according to the Intercept.
Israel Hayom’s report said Netanyahu told his top minister of strategic planning to come up with a plan that not only keeps pushing Palestinians in Gaza into Egypt through the Rafah border crossing, but also to mass expel them to European and African countries by sea.
Israel Hayom reported that the plan was top secret due to its “obvious explosiveness” and sensitivity but that Netanyahu sees it as a “strategic goal”.
It said Netanyahu expects the plan to face opposition from the US and Egypt but believed Israel could overcome Egypt’s resistance “unless Cairo starts shooting Palestinians crossing into the country”.
The report said that pushing Palestinians out of Gaza is not a “transfer” but “freeing” them from the “stranglehold” of Gaza’s borders.
Israel has illegally placed the Gaza Strip under a blockade for more than 16 years, controlling how much food, water and electricity it receives and whether any Palestinians can leave the strip.
Many have pointed out “thinning out” is just an euphemism for ethnic cleansing, which is the systematic forced removal of an ethnic, racial or religious group from an area to make it ethnically homogenous.
