Ah yes, that classic “concept paper” where your intelligence ministry is just spitballing ideas for an ethnic cleansing as a hypothetical thought experiment.

[–] detalferous@lemm.ee 6 points 10 months ago

Exactly.

This is abhorrent.

[–] pete@lemmy.world 65 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Huh, isn't that how the Holocaust started?

I wonder what the final solution will be?

[–] Heresy_generator@kbin.social 26 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Not really; Generalplan Ost was far, far more brutal even from its conception. While the horrific industrialized efficiency of the camps and gas chambers weren't fully fleshed out yet the Nazis included the idea of exterminating undesirables through mass killings, working them to death, and starving them to death from the start.

Isn't Israel already starving the local population of Gaza? They are also bombing them, not to forget that they do not have access to drinking water.

If Apple and Nike get in on this, we've got all the similarities

Don't forget ~~Coca-Cola~~ Fanta.

final solution

The fine ol' solution

[–] Maeve@kbin.social 5 points 10 months ago

I think we’re seeing it.

[–] oDDmON@lemmy.world 50 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Having been victim to one Diaspora, you’d think they’d be loathe to inflict another on someone else.

Hamas may have convinced the peoples of Israel what no amount of extreme right-wing politicians have been able to in the seventy-plus years since the Israeli war for independence in '48 - the idea that the sheer existence of a sovereign Palestinian state will mean living under a constant threat of mass murder, for them and their families.

[–] febra@lemmy.world 33 points 10 months ago (2 children)

We have said this from the beginning. Israel is planning a genocide. This is just further proof towards that.

[–] metaStatic@kbin.social 18 points 10 months ago

because the actual genocide happening isn't proof enough

[–] Squizzy@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

It's pretty likely given how well this aligns with what what they want, that they probably allowed this to happen at the very least if not had fomented it.

[–] DevCat@lemmy.world 30 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The document's authors deem this alternative to be the most desirable for Israel's security.

Let me fix that for you.

The document's authors deem this alternative to be the most desirable for creating a whole hell of a lot more problems for Israel.

Eventually, those chickens will return home to roost.

[–] Maeve@kbin.social 10 points 10 months ago

Obl warned USA, notes it’s not our freedoms (check out the un report on us), but our terrorizing. Then we got all indignant and invaded Iraq (two Iraqis on the plane, how many Saudis?). Then we act surprised about Daesh, never mind mujahadeen and taliban.

[–] athos77@kbin.social 28 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The report did not say what would become of Gaza once its population is cleared out.

Lebensraum.

[–] happyhippo@feddit.it 24 points 10 months ago

I was accused of being dumb last time I said Israel is a Nazi state. 😌

History repeats itself.

[–] irdc@derp.foo 19 points 10 months ago

Oh hey, how about Madagascar?

[–] SuddenDownpour@sh.itjust.works 11 points 10 months ago

Is it really in Israel's interest to create a diaspora of Palestinians across Western countries? Do they want to see them form their own lobbies to influence Middle East policy in a couple decades down the line? I don't think that's the worst option, perhaps that would balance the tableboard.

[–] Backspacecentury@kbin.social 6 points 10 months ago

Canada has a killer track record for housing dissident diaspora communities. Just ask India.

[–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Terrance and Phillip will never be the same.

[–] CkrnkFrnchMn@lemmy.ca -3 points 10 months ago

Yes please bring 'em in Canada...need more people in the north. They should tame right down with the cold...

[–] JamesStallion@sh.itjust.works -5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I honestly think Canada could handle that, but they would have to forcibly split up to live all around the country rather than be allowed to set up their own Palestinian community in one region. Politically it would be completely i.possible of course.

[–] Gerula@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

Why split them up?
