Israeli settler leader Daniella Weiss says Palestinians will 'disappear' from Gaza
Speaking at Likud-backed conference, Weiss says thousands of settlers are ready to move to Gaza, and Palestinians have 'lost the right' to be there
An Israeli settler leader has told a conference on Israel's frontier with Gaza that Palestinians will "disappear" from the territory and said that thousands of people stand ready to move there "from north to south”.
Addressing a conference on Monday also attended by Israeli Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and Knesset members from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party, Daniella Weiss called for Palestinians living in Gaza to be relocated to other countries.
“We came here with one clear purpose: the purpose is to settle the entire Gaza Strip, not just part of it, not just a few settlements, the entire Gaza Strip from north to south,” said Weiss.
Weiss, the leader of Nachala, an orthodox settler movement which organised the conference, said there were six settler groups and more than 700 families looking to settle in Gaza, where more than 42,600 Palestinians have been killed since Israel launched its war against Hamas in October last year following the Hamas-led attacks in southern Israel.
Weiss’s comments were echoed by Ben Gvir, who later told the crowd: “We are the owners of the land”. Ben Gvir also called for Palestinians in Gaza to “voluntarily” transfer to other countries.
Monday’s conference, which was billed by organisers as “a celebration for the preparation of settling Gaza", took place near Reim kibbutz, with the sound of Israel’s ongoing bombardment of northern Gaza audible in the background and with smoke rising over the horizon a few kilometres to the west.
This woman is evil. I'd like to "resettle" her to prison.
You're much kinder than I.
I think she should be settled into a hole in the ground.
This needs to be marked as another case in point for all the people who want to argue it's not a genocide.
This is the opinions of one person.
If that makes this genocide then Palestine are committing genocide to a much much greater degree.
this is the opinion of the overhwelming majority of Israelis. "90% of Jewish Israelis supported the decision to start the offensive against Hezbollah even while the war was continuing in Gaza." https://www.timesofisrael.com/netanyahu-is-riding-success-vs-hezbollah-but-will-oct-7-anniversary-change-that/
Only 19% of Israelis think the IDF has gone too far in Gaza https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2024/05/30/israeli-views-of-the-israel-hamas-war/
Daniella Weiss is not just any "one person" just line Steve Banon is not just any "one person". She has the ear of the government and significant political pull with the settlers and the settler parties.
hey look... we found the zionist
I think you're lost. reddit.com/r/worldnews is that way ->
I agree, one person's opinion doesn't make it a fact. But the shrinking of Palestines borders over time tell a clear story. This is a genocide
Tally Gotliv, a Likud MP, told MEE: “We need to occupy the complete land of Israel. There are no innocent people in Gaza. Everybody who has refused to leave the north is a collaborator.”
Monday's event took place against the backdrop of an escalating military assault on northern Gaza where hundreds of thousands of Palestinians remained trapped and subjected to daily air strikes.
The assault came amid reports from Israel that the military has started to implement a strategy known as “the Generals’ Plan” which called for the ethnic cleansing of the north of the territory, and condemnation by aid groups who warned last week that northern Gaza is being “erased”.
This is their plan. They're doing it right now. I can't imagine how folks will deny this, I guess they'll move onto justify.
Sounds like bog standard language of ethnic cleansing to me. Still amazed how many people refuse to call a Nazi a Nazi.
I hope this cunt and all her friends are dragged through Nuremberg 2.0. "Never again", right guys?
Nononono..."never again" means "never again for Jews". Other genocides are a-okay.
Daniella Weiss called for Palestinians living in Gaza to be relocated to other countries.
Relocated to where? Israel? What she means is to kill them all, right?
Seems like she doesn’t care if they are killed or not. They just can’t occupy Gaza.
Presumably they don't especially care, as long as they're able to take their land
But I expect a lot of the refugees will go to Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Turkiye, probably a handful to Egypt but from what I've heard the Egyptian border is pretty much closed
None of those countries want to take refugees tho
Are more and more people of orthodox faith turning against the humanitarian values that religion supposedly have?
There have always been some Orthodox Jewish people that have objected to Zionism since it's inception. I'm not sure if they have grown or not recently, but it's important to recognize that Zionism is not and doesn't represent Judaism
Absolutely. And it’s also important to remember that the inhabitants of a group are all individuals with different traits and characteristics. One example could be that there are clearly a lot of batshit crazy republicans, but I’m sure there are republicans who are decent people too. Arnie seems to have mellowed into a pretty ok bloke.
I wonder if any of this will at all backfire for Israel in the near future, especially considering they have the complete backing of the USA.
Serbia's genocide backfired when the Bosnians suddenly started covertly receiving ATGMs via Pakistan which changed the tide of the war.
I just don't see that happening here when Gaza doesn't even have a friendly/neutral neighbor to the south, let alone a country willing to actually help. Egypt doesn't even want to take refugees. Seems like Israel is just gonna steamroll ahead and we won't even learn the full extent of the genocide for several decades :/
Things will change in smaller ways after the presidential election, when polititions have less to fear from aipac.
Longer term, as muslims from the region who live in the states have a more powerful voting block, the USs stance to Israel will also begin to change.
This is, and has always been, a generational paced thing.
Once again, all of these colonizers need to be sent back to their countries of origin and the state of Israel dismantled. They are geonicidal colonialist and there isn't an innocent among them.

Ironically I think that ship has sailed
The same way jews disappeared from Warsaw.
Jesus Christ
Was a Palestinian Jew and would probably be persecuted, tortured and killed by the modern state of Israel.
Sadly, this tracks
Still can't be called a genocide, huh?
I never really understood what these "Settlers" are exactly doing. Do they just go to a House and be like "Yeah that's mine now, GTFO!" or are they building Homes on somebody else's Property? Or are they tearing down houses and building new ones for themselves? I never really understood how you can settle in an already developed place. Or all of the above?
I find it helps if you just call them "invaders".
I think you could only call yourself a settler if you went somewhere uninhabitable and made it livable. Antarctica maybe. I don't think "arable farmland right next door with brown people living on it" counts for much.
When you have the Israeli military supporting you, you can do a lot of things.
They settle right next to existing Palestinian towns. Then surround them by expanding. Create better infrastructure. Then exclude the Palestinians and ensure they are treat as other or not equal.
That's the very best of situations. Ignoring that a majority are armed takeovers of occupied buildings.
From B'TSelem, an Israeli Human Rights Organization that has covered this since the 1960's:
Quotes
The state allows settlers to use land violently taken from Palestinians. Dozens of outposts and “farms” – settlements for all intents and purposes, which were built without authorization by the government and without plans that enable construction in them – receive support from Israeli authorities and remain standing. Israel has ordered the military to defend the outposts or paid for their security, as well as paved roads and laid down water and electricity infrastructure for most of them. It has provided support through various government ministries, the Settlement Division of the World Zionist Organization and regional councils in the West Bank. It has also subsidized financial endeavors in the outposts, including agricultural facilities, provided support for new farmers and for shepherding, allocated water and legally defended outposts in petitions for their removal.
The violent acts include beating, throwing stones, issuing threats, torching fields, destroying trees and crops, stealing crops, damaging homes and cars, blocking roads, using live fire, and, in rare cases, killing. Settlers from so-called farms violently chase Palestinian farmers and shepherds away from their fields, and from pastureland and water sources they have used for generations. They initiate violent altercations on a daily basis and use drones to scare flocks belonging to Palestinians into scattering.
First they blow up the place, flatten it, and then build their vacation homes on top of the people they killed.
That's the plan. Look at the borders of Palestine over time. What Israel does speaks louder than what they say they are doing
