    The US media will ignore this blatant call for ethnic cleansing and paint Israel as the good guys in this. The mask has come off the West’s colonialist support for this racist apartheid state.

    Israel is in Asia and not in Europe.

    Egypt is not going to allow this. The simple fact of the matter is that Hamaz is a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, which are openly hostile to the current Egyptian government. So the killing is going to continue.

          There have been countless Israel posts on here. Also the extra activity on here can’t hurt. Why does the presence of this post bother you? Just scroll over it

    This is a continuation of the ethnic cleansing that Israel has carried out for the past 70 years. No big surprise.

      Israel has roughly 2.000.000 Arabian citizens. They descent from 156.000 Arabs who stayed in Israel after 1948. This must be the least successful ethnic cleansing of all time!

        What an idiotic comment. It’s like saying the Armenian genocide didn’t happen because there are more Armenians now than before.

          Theoretically sure, but the discrepancy makes it problematic to speak of of ethnic cleansing in this case. If you steal land for the purpose of getting land, you’re probably still committing a crime, but it’s not ethnic cleansing because the intend is something different. E.g. greed or the desire to ensure your safety by holding a strategic position (that’s why Israel took the Golan heights).

          The Palestinian population has similar numbers. Their growth exploded over the last 70 years to present day numbers. Worst genocide ever.

        You may want to look up what a genocide is. It definitely does not require the complete extermination of a people, even by the self serving UN definition.

        And the population of the Uyghurs was rapidly on the rise until just a few years ago - especially compared to the Han-Chinese population. That is not an ethnic cleansing as well then, right?

        Well given that there were 700000 Arabs who had to flee out of fear of getting murdered (or because they were directly ordered to flee by the IDF’s predecessors), I’d say they were pretty successful.

        Away with your logic, here we are convinced that Israel is literally Hitler.

    Every country commissions these stratagram documents for different scenarios. It’s not surprising that Israeli government does the same. These documents are usually held quite secret, because they’re inflammatory, they go through many different scenarios, many of which are politically unpalatable.

    What’s really interesting, is that this document was released now. Almost like it’s socializing the concept, testing the waters before the plan is committed with its allies.

    And of that document option c appears to be being implemented right now in front of us.

    Is the document genuine? Probably, I’ve seen sources from Canada Israel and other parties saying the document has been acknowledged by their sources.

    Is the document itself a cause for concern? No.

    Are the actions we’re seeing in real time, and the timing of the release of the document concerning? Very much so.

    Everything hinges on Egypt’s cooperation. And I don’t know how Israel is going to compel that.

    The existence of the document does not necessarily indicate that its recommendations are being considered by Israel’s defense establishment. Despite its name, the Intelligence Ministry is not directly responsible for any intelligence body, but rather independently prepares studies and policy papers that are distributed to the Israeli government and security agencies for review, but are not binding.

    So what
