"Surrender or Starve": Israel Weighs Plan to Liquidate Northern Gaza

Support our work: democracynow.o...
We speak with the reporter who revealed the Israeli plan to displace or kill the entire Palestinian population of north Gaza. Israeli Major General Giora Eiland has proposed ordering everyone in northern Gaza to evacuate within one week, after which Israel will conduct a total siege on the area and deem anyone who remains an eligible target for military attack. "Are we talking about Israel committing an extermination of hundreds of tens of thousands of people if they will choose to stay?" asks Meron Rapoport, editor and writer at Local Call and columnist at _+972 Magazine_, who says many areas in Gaza have already been ordered to evacuate and are not receiving new aid deliveries. "We have the sense here that this plan is being actually implemented without being officially adopted."

Nobody. This is the main issue with Capitalism. It relies on the extraction of resources and control of territory in order to maintain the status quo (meaning first world material conditions). Sadly, our world is dominated by powers who do not care for the people suffering on the ground while they play war games and scratch their butts. I truly think that this will result in the same thing that my people suffered, which is complete ethnic cleansing and near complete extermination. People like to wonder what they wouldve done during the Holocaust, the answer is that you are doing it right now. In every instance of hesitancy, just remember that.

They targeted infrastructures & homes??????? The Dahiya doctrine, or Dahya doctrine, is an Israeli military strategy involving the large-scale destruction of civilian infrastructure, or domicide, to pressure hostile governments. The doctrine was outlined by former Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Chief of General Staff Gadi Eizenkot. Israel colonel Gabi Siboni wrote that Israel "should target economic interests and the centers of civilian power that support the organization". The logic is to harm the civilian population so much that they will then turn against the militants, forcing the enemy to sue for peace.
