Seanchaidh, you can't seriously believe Israel is attempting to ethnically cleanse the Lebanese from the Earth. You know you can criticize war without it being genocide, right?

The war has been going on for a year. How the fuck are there tons of pregnant women in Gaza right now? I feel like a refugee camp is literally the least sexy place in the world, how are these people still in the mood to bang?!

are you unaware of what ethnic cleansing is? or did you insert 'Earth' to deliberately mislead?

Right at this time, I feel like we would need to bring out our definition of genocide on this one. Because there seems to be a huge variance on how many people/ much space is required for an ethnic cleansing. Gaza is one thing...

I would also point out that killing people innocents to get to bad guys is generally wrong. I don't need to call it ethic cleansing for it to be bad and me say it needs to stop

"The threat of a Palestinian state is off the table. This is a historical moment and opportunity for the settlement movement. Now, with the election of President Trump, it is time to change reality in Judea and Samaria [the West Bank] as well, to ensure it will forever be a part of Israel and to ensure the security of the Jewish state."

- Israel Ganz, chairman of the Yesha Council (the umbrella organisation of West Bank Israeli settlements).

Calls for full annexation have also been made by Ben-Gvir. Trump's 2020 "peace plan" included partial annexation of the West Bank. Looks like this may be the play now.

Well, there's been some reticence in Likud towards formal annexation because of the question of enfranchisement. They want the land but not to extend political representation. So leaving it a political limbo, subject to a grinding incremental encroachment project, gave them an opportunity to ignore that thorny question. Full annexation would indeed be a shift. Impatience and opportunity have apparently convinced shitstains like Ganz that how's the time.

they were already isolating and depopulating North Gaza and had already announced that the people they expelled from there would not be allowed to return. they were always going to repeat this moving south.

Ganz is talking about the West Bank, not south Gaza.

They've already been clearing villages in Lebanon to take later.

Should have been the play decades ago, could have prevented a whole lot of death and destruction.

So true fam. This is the first time Israel has had the audacity to bomb a school in Gaza.

Like I said, silver lining with Trump winning is Israel bombing schools is now a bad thing
