'JERUSALEM — An extremist Cabinet member in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government publicly advocated for killing “30 to 40” people in Gaza each night, comments that surfaced Sunday and were quickly shared by Palestinian media.
Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir made the statement while speaking to a former Hamas-held hostage in Gaza, Rom Braslavski, on Braslavski’s podcast. The two were discussing Israel’s recovery from the Hamas attack of Oct. 7, 2023, when Ben-Gvir criticized Israel’s recent drawdown of strikes in the Gaza Strip.
“It’s no secret, I disagree with the prime minister,” he said. “I think targeted assassinations should be carried out in Gaza, taking down 30 to 40 every night. Not just those who pose an immediate threat — there are people there who are not worthy of life. They shouldn’t live. They’re not even people.”'
Given his opinion of Gazans and desire to see them killed nightly the term 'voluntary' when applied to his plan to expel citizens from Gaza is hardly credible.
Are you stupid? You are arguing against your own ideas. "Targeted assassinations" is exactly what it sounds like - killing important members of Hamas. The exact opposite for genocide. I'm not sure why limit it to 30-40. The more dead terrorists the better.
"There are people there who are not worthy of life. They're not even people" - no shit sherlock. Some are, some are not. Terrorists should be killed. All of them.
Terrorists should be killed. All of them.
Some says Bibi is one.
Some say Trump is one.
There is a rule of terror in Gaza with zero justice and no transparency- just ongoing relentless bullying, torture, arrest without charge and daily assassinations and killings.
In this context the idea of 'voluntary relocation' of Gazans to unspecified other nations is clearly disingenuous sophistry code for forced removal of citizens from their land and rights.
You are doing to the Gazans what Nazi Germany did to Jews.
You are stupid not to see it.
Nazi Germany put the Jews into gas chambers in a systematic way to kill off an entire people. We fought back against evil terrorists who attacked us first.
Wrong - Jews mostly fled Nazi Germany where they could.
More fled then were gassed.
Even Nazi Germany knew that to openly kill-genocide citizens would provoke a considerable response from the rest of the world and so concealed their death camps as long as they were in power.
Ben Givr is currently quite openly building an execution facility specifically for Palestinians and Arab Israeli who now face different laws than Israeli Jews.
The strategy is of course to make life for non Jewish citizens so hellish and dangerous that as many as possible will leave under duress.
Ben Gvir is building an execution facility for convicted terrorists. He has nothing to hide because he's not doing genocide. The Nazis were so they his it. Something interesting though, Hamas terrorists live streamed many of the evil things they did on 07/10. They murdered babies and raped women on camera and called their parents to brag.
Jews face different laws to non Jewish Israeli citizens.
That is apartheid.
Executing alleged terrorists who have not faced a fair legal process and under an openly apartheid legal system is certainly consistent with seeking to drive out as many Palestinians from their land and citizenship.
It is a genocide and a pogrom.
First of all, the execution law just passed and wasn't used yet. Unfortunately. Second of all, Palestinians get due process as well I don't know who told you these lies.
What is my view? I saw this on the news just an hour ago. He clearly said he wants to encourage VOLUNTARY migration. Like paying them to leave. I'm not sure what your idea is - should we leave them to rot in all that rubble?
