I can understand why Israel is basically annexing Palestine and neighbors. This is a big shot to create stability for generations.

Wonder what the fine folks in Dearborn think of this.

Israel plans to seize Gaza under new plan, officials say

 Like Kamala would have stopped it? This was inevitable, just like the eventual seizing of the West Bank and part of Syria.  Israel is in expansion mode, they will use whatever they can to justify it. Israel wants those sweet offshore oil and gas rights off the coast of Gaza, they will annex the entire beach at the very least yo gain control of it.

What in the actual fuck are you saying

It’s the theory of how Israel plans for this all to end. It’s been pretty clear for a while now.

Borders change. We are living the Congress of Berlin with less voices.

 

Yes, borders change. With our weapons, money, and blessing, and at the expense of millions. But we have to be okay with it I guess because you said so.

All borders are equal, but some are more equal than others.

Gotta say, invoking lebensraum as a national policy for Israel was not on my bingo card. "Voluntary emigration" (the phrase quoted in the linked AP article) isn't really voluntary when it's that or getting JDAM'd

The decision to expand the operation was immediately hailed by Israeli government hardliners who have long pressed for a full takeover of the Gaza Strip by Israel and a permanent displacement of the population, along the lines of the "Riviera" plans outlined by Trump in February.

"We are finally going to conquer Gaza. We are no longer afraid of the word 'occupation'," Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich told a pro-settler conference in an online discussion.

There is a bit of a national history of pressing their foot on the pedal when they feel invulnerable to anything. We're watching one of those modern instances play out.

WTF? Read my post again. Do you know the devastation caused by the congress of Berlin?

Would she have stopped it?  Doubtful. At least she wouldn’t have encouraged it and treated it like a real estate grab. But probably would’ve ended up the same in the end.
