70 years of Israeli war crimes, but the cover-up by Evangelicals was an unpardonable sin
Evangelical leaders declare that the Holy Spirit has revealed they must support the Israeli criminal enterprise in its atrocities against the Palestinians. That is unpardonable.
Americans have somehow gotten the idea that the current genocide in Gaza is something new. NO, it is not new.
The months since Oct 7, 2022 were just the first time the atrocities were not completely covered up.
The Israelis have been committing crimes against Palestinians since 1947-48.
Documentary on Gaza also shows that the current genocide is nothing new.
It had always just been covered up by the US elites in media and politics. In fact, your criminal scumbags in Congress are currently working on legislation that would criminalize the use of words like “genocide,” describing Israel as a “colonial state” and as an “occupier” and the like.
Based on my personal experiences with hyperactive Bible thumpers from childhood on up, it is my opinion that the main culprit is the Evangelical “church” – not only the pastors and other leaders but a large percentage of the congregation. These people will not vote for any federal candidate who refuses to vow allegiance to “Israel.” Further, they spread their foul teachings to everyone around them.
After I had read articles on the Nakba in Palestine that terrorized Palestinians to leave their homes to Jewish immigrants, I started visiting pro-Palestine web sites and viewed videos and photos of Palestinians – quite often children – killed or wounded by Israeli bullets or bombs.
I began to send links and images of these crimes to my acquaintances among Evangelical leaders, believing that if these people were able to see the truth, they’d do as I did, and stop supporting criminal Israel.
How naive I was!
In EVERY SINGLE CASE, the religious leaders that I contacted, in both the US and the UK, denied the authenticity of this evidence. One pastor said it was in digital form and he didn’t trust digital information. Any excuse will do…
Another looked at photos of two young Palestinians who each had had one of their eyes shot out by the IDF. The photos were obviously real with no evidence of photoshopping.
His response: it’s an obvious fake.
Other leaders – some famous – that I sent such evidence to angrily asked me to stop contacting them.
Another, a well-known Evangelical TV preacher, sent me a video he had made “proving” that Israel legally belongs to the Jews. It was such awful drivel. There can be no valid legal argument for dispossessing a whole ethnic group from its native habitation of centuries.
When I sent him a link to a thoroughly documented documentary on the Nakba, based largely on the excellent research by the eminent historian Ilan Pappe, he arrogantly pointed out that the film was produced by Al Jazeera, hinting that it must be Muslim propaganda.
He blocked my further correspondence. Their minds are made up.
I eventually concluded that religious leaders who support Israel are just as corrupt and just as scummy and despicable as any politician, and worse, these Evangelicals may have more influence on the grassroots than the politicians and media. Worse, they are hiding behind the name of Jesus to sell their heresy.
The Evangelical “church” holds to a diabolical doctrine known as "Christian" Zioinism, which is extremely dangerous because it has caused both wars and pogroms against Palestine and sovereign countries.
Much of the murderous behavior of the Israelis that we are witnessing today is an indirect result of the US church and its anti-Christian teachings.
Not just the corrupt politicians who owe their career success to Israeli corruption, but also, and even more detestable are the professional pseudo-religious scum who hide behind the name of Jesus to commit the vilest crimes of all — supporting atrocities by distorting the scriptures!
Their sins are unforgivable because they falsely claim their heresy is based on personal revelations of the Holy Ghost.
Luke 12:31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

Here’s your daily air strike update for May 2, 2024
Translation with my notes in bold and in [brackets]
Russian strikes on energy facilities in Ukraine: the end of the world is getting closer
[The author is creating a cute play on words here, on the Russian word svet (свет), which haa two primary meanings, ie, world and light. But there is also a secondary meaning, ie, power or electricity. Taken at face value, konets sveta (конец света) normally would mean the end of the world. But in the context of this article, the word svet refers to electric power. Thus, it means the power is about to go out due to Russian air strikes. Read on]
May 2, 2024
The first massive blow to power plants in Ukraine after more than a year was struck on March 22. The result is that the Burshtynska, Ladyzhinskaya and Zmievskaya thermal power plants were completely destroyed, and the hydroelectric power station-1 and hydroelectric power station-2 (part of the Dnieper hydroelectric power station complex) were disabled. The Pridneprovskaya and Krivorozhskaya thermal power plants, as well as the power transmission and distribution systems, were damaged. Igor Naumov writes in the Profile magazine about what awaits the Ukrainian energy system.
President Vladimir Putin explained why Russian troops are targeting Ukraine’s energy infrastructure:
“We have recently observed a series of attacks on our energy facilities. They wanted to leave social institutions and hospitals without power supply... We were forced to respond... We thus influence the defense industry - the military-industrial complex of Ukraine, and do so directly.”
Critical infrastructure facilities in the territory controlled by the Kyiv regime were recognized by Moscow as legitimate targets for attacks a year and a half ago. Retaliatory strikes began on October 10, 2022 [this is the date on which I started chronicling the air strikes daily], shortly after the terrorist attack on the Crimean Bridge, and continued for several months. On March 9, 2023, strikes were reported at three Ukrainian thermal power plants and energy infrastructure facilities.
Ukrainian Energy Minister Herman Galushchenko admitted that March 22, 2024 saw the largest attack on the energy sector. The most difficult situation has developed in the Dnepropetrovsk, Kirovograd, Odessa and Kharkov oblasts. The blackout led to a large-scale disruption of the Internet and telephone communications, the shutdown of industrial and utility enterprises, city electric transport, and disruption of the railway transportation schedule.
The matter was not limited to a one-time event. The Russian armed forces continued the methodical destruction of Ukraine's energy sector. Group retaliatory strikes with long-range precision weapons and unmanned aerial vehicles were carried out, in particular, on March 24 and 31. “The work of defense industry enterprises producing and repairing weapons, military equipment and ammunition has been disrupted. All strike targets achieved. The designated targets were hit,” reported the press service of the Russian Ministry of Defense.
[And if I may be candid, we need to recall that US elections are in November and the Russians are hard pressed to at least show the US Necons that Ukraine can’t win. Hard evidence that Russia will definitely win will affect the election outcome. It was the Obama-Biden regime that took over the Maidan protests in 2014, turning them into a violent coup, and then naming a Neonazi government that was guaranteed to start a war with Russia, first by shelling the ethnic Russians in Donbass. THIS is why the Biden regime is a special target of Russian strategy]
The effectiveness of the attacks was confirmed by Dmitry Sakharuk, executive director of the DTEK energy holding:
“Five of our six [thermal power] plants are very badly damaged: some units are almost completely destroyed, some are partially destroyed. If we talk about distribution facilities, they also suffered very serious damage throughout the country. We are now in a situation where we have about 80% of our installed capacity damaged or completely destroyed.”
The hits on the Kanevskaya and Dniester hydroelectric power stations were acknowledged by the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky. Moreover, he tried to shift the emphasis to the threat of dam destruction and environmental disaster. In reality, strikes with pinpoint precision, as in the case of the DneproGES, were delivered to the turbine rooms.
In April, the operation to destroy the Ukrainian energy system, which operates in the interests of defense industry enterprises and provides rail transportation, continued. Perhaps the most resonant event dates back to April 11, when the Trypillya Thermal Power Plant, which supplied almost 60% of the electricity needs of the Kiev, Zhytomyr and Cherkasy oblasts, was destroyed. There were strikes on CHPP-5 (Kharkov), 330 kV Usatovo substation (Odessa region) and 110 kV Chervonograd-2 (Lviv region).
Assessments of the consequences of attacks on thermal power plants and hydroelectric power plants by Ukrainian officials and independent experts coincide: the country’s energy system lost approximately 7 GW of generation. Director of the Energy Research Center Alexander Kharchenko, cited by Ukrainian Forbes, believes that Ukraine is unlikely to pass consumption peaks in July-August and winter without restrictions. The duration of the rolling blackouts can be 4-6 hours. [Seems like the calculations are based on the assumption that there will be no further strikes. Wishful thinking]

Report on strikes of the Russian Armed Forces on the warehouses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine containing Storm Shadow missiles
Ex-member of the Rada Gopko: The Russian Armed Forces attacked warehouses containing Storm Shadow missiles
Daria Rodionova
Former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Anna Gopko said that strike on warehouses containing long-range Storm Shadow missiles were recorded in the country. The local publication Strana.ua writes about this.
[Originally, US and allies assured Russia that it would not supply missiles capable of striking inside Russia proper or Russian liberated territories. This promise was an attempt to prevent further escalation based on the perception that US-NATO were actually participants in the war. Ukraine pretended to go along with this restriction but as it saw Russia making gains on the front, it loosened up and allowed cross-border strikes with Western arms - a clear-cut dangerous escalation, Later, partly under pressure from Zelensky, the West eased up and explicitly allowed cross-border strikes. Around this time, the West also sent weapons with longer ranges, ie, medium range at first and now long-range. This is incremental escalation. Now, as noted above, we see long-range weapons being sent to Ukraine. But in response, we see more-massive Russian strikes on a wider range of target types]
According to the ex-parliamentarian, the Russian Armed Forces carried out “very precise” strikes on Ukrainian military targets. In this regard, she did not rule out the possibility that someone could leak information about the location of the warehouses to the Russian intelligence services. [She was right. There is a large 5th column of pro-Russians in Ukraine who are sick of the draconian law allowing forced conscription of people who were not allowed to be drafted in the past. But the attitude of the populace has radically changed in the meantime and no one wants to fight the Russians any more. More and more Ukrainians are willing to transmit the coordinates of potential military targets to the Russian aerospace forces so that they can destroy them. The only goal for most Ukrainians now is to see an end to the war ASAP]
Storm Shadow is an Anglo-French tactical cruise missile with a long range. The projectile is a modification of the French SCALP-EG cruise missile, which was modified for installation on British Air Force aircraft.
Alina Dzhus/Gazeta.Ru
On May 2, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that over the past 24 hours, the country’s military personnel destroyed two combat vehicles of the American HIMARS multiple launch rocket system in the conflict zone in Ukraine. Moreover, Russian troops hit a workshop for the production of missiles and ammunition of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) and a missile and artillery weapons warehouse.

Here’s how msn reports “news” from Russia and Ukraine:
Ukraine Attack on Airfield Likely To Force 'Dispersals' of Russian Jets: UK
Story by Ellie Cook
The Ukies are so desperate to “prove” that they can fight that they just make it up. And the US media just copy-paste whatever the lying Ukronazis publish, without fact-checking.
The SBU and Ukraine's Defense Forces targeted Russia's Kushchevskaya air base, where "dozens of military aircraft, radars, and electronic warfare devices were located," The Kyiv Independent reported, citing an anonymous security and defense source.
Early on Saturday morning, Russia's Defense Ministry said it had intercepted or destroyed 66 Ukrainian drones over the Krasnodar region overnight.
"The SBU continues to effectively target military and infrastructure facilities behind enemy lines, reducing Russia's potential for waging war," a Ukrainian source told domestic media. [But that contradicts the Russian report that 66 drones were shot down]
Well if they really “effectively” targeted these objects, what did they hit?
The Ukie source doesn’t say. So how could they know the strike was effective?
Here’s what the Russians said (translation from https://lenta.ru/news/2024/05/02/vlasti-raskryli-podrobnosti-ataki-dronov-vsu-na-krasnodarskiy-kray/?ysclid=lvpnc0rinp347815573)
The authorities have revealed details of the Ukrainian Armed Forces drone attack on the Krasnodar region
Administration of the Seversky district of Kuban: no one was injured in the drone attack
As a result of a night attack by drones of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) on the Krasnodar Territory; no one was injured, and no destruction was recorded either. This was reported by the Seversky district administration, RIA Novosti reports.
“Everything is calm in the area. As for civilian infrastructure, there was no damage,” district authorities revealed details of the attack.

Bye bye free speech (if we ever really had it)
How long will you be able to read this before my site is shut down and I am sharing a cell with Julian Assange? Seriously, the US elites would LOVE to silence people like my who go all out to overcome the lies. Biden’s complicity with the killers of Gonzalo Lira shows he would be delighted to have us all 6 ft under.

That’s kinda rough when you consider every square inch of “Israel” was stolen from the Palestinians in 1948. Israelis should give back the land. ALL of it.

A riveting, even emotional discussion about the obscenely, violent, fascist crackdown on university students across the USA. Bruce Gagnon joins me in this down-to-earth smackdown of the violent, lying Israeli government, and how Israel has been isolated from the rest of the world because of their unrestrained violence and murder of innocent, unarmed Palestinians. The USA has also shown that it is completely controlled by the fascist Zionists and the illegal state of Israel. We also talked about the imminent economic collapse of the US and its vassals around the world. We finished up with a discussion of the Space Race that is further bankrupting the US as it attempts to gain full control of space.

التهديدات الإسرائيلية ضد لبنان: دليل العجز أمام إنجاز حزب الله (alkhanadeq.org.lb)
2 May 2024
Israeli threats against Lebanon: evidence of Hezbollah's “inability to achieve”
Two resistance fighters prepare to attack an Israeli target
Not a day goes by in Lebanon for months, without the political and military officials of the interim entity [Resistance code for “Israel”] issuing threats against it, vowing to resist it with a massive air attack campaign, and even a ground operation, with the aim of moving it kilometers away from the Lebanese-Palestinian border.
But anyone who carefully considers the field data, based on the achievements and new deterrence equations achieved by the resistance axis throughout the region, against Israel and, behind it, the entire US-led camp supporting it, during more than 200 days since the start of the Al-Aqsa Flood Battle, will easily realize that all these Israeli threats are empty and vapid, made by those who know well that what the resistance axis, specifically Hezbollah, demonstrated, is only a small fraction of the capabilities, capabilities, and surprises it possesses. By using them, it can turn Israeli foolishness into a great, long-awaited opportunity to turn the tide. The conflict has been turned upside down, and it has inflicted great and terrible losses on Israel, which it has not witnessed since its founding.
Despite this, it must be pointed out here that the party [sometimes journalists refer to Hezbollah as the party because hezb means party and the last component is allah. Hence “party of God.” And since Hezbollah is one of the key political parties in Lebanon, the name fits. NO, it is NOT a terrorist organization. That is a smear made in Washington] since the outbreak of the confrontation, has not excluded from its assessments of this front’s future, the possibility that the occupying entity [Israel] will resort to committing escalatory foolishness, which may lead to a wide-scale war. Therefore, from the first days, it carried out two-track operations that would obstruct the occupation’s option of expanding into war, by paralyzing the Israeli ability to monitor and spy. At the same time, providing an accurate monitoring system, spatially and temporally, of what is happening inside the occupied Palestinian territories, including the movements of the occupying army. This caused Israeli military leaders to be surprised by the extent of Hezbollah's intelligence capabilities.
Paralyzing Israeli monitoring and espionage systems
At the level of the first track, from the first day of the opening of the southern front supporting the resistance in Gaza, Hezbollah began targeting observation and spy towers along the border, parallel to the Blue Line, with the aim of blinding “the eyes of Israel,” which the Israeli army cannot do without in gathering information before launching a campaign. Attacks included cameras, radars, sensors, and electronic warfare. It was able to strike the Israeli capabilities to monitor and spy on the resistance and their movements, all the way to striking important bases and sites, with the ability to fully supervise the border area (by sight and fire), as happened with the Meron base, which constitutes an eye for the entity over the entire Mediterranean region.
What confirms the extent of the impact of these operations on blinding the occupation is what the Israeli Channel 12 recently reported, stating that “despite the numerous attacks, the Israeli Air Force and other units are facing difficulty in striking Hezbollah groups specialized in launching anti-armour missiles.”
Israeli leaders: Netanyahu crushed the north left it to the mercy of Hezbollah
These field data, which constitute only part of the entire scene, prompted military commanders in the entity to express their dissatisfaction with what happened to Hezbollah, while realizing the entity’s inability to take any countermeasure.
Former Deputy Chief of Staff, Reserve General Yair Golan, denounced this situation, saying: “While Netanyahu is contemplating an operation devoid of any strategic importance in Rafah, Metulla is receiving fire from Hezbollah, the cities are neglected, and the catastrophic failure continues to get worse. Netanyahu crushed the north and handed it over to ”Hizballah".
As for Reserve Colonel Kobi Marom, he confirmed the Israeli inability to take any action against Hezbollah when he said: “The political level avoided making difficult decisions in the north in light of the uncertainty for fear of escalation, and chose panic, showing weakness.” Pointing to "the fact that Hezbollah today possesses a collection of rockets and missiles that cover the entire territory of the State of Israel, including the ability to strike various strategic sites and bases, a threat that not only exposes the Israeli army to danger, but also mainly exposes the Israeli home front." Concluding that Israel appears to be “failing to achieve the most important goal, which is to create a security reality that allows the displaced to return to their homes, and military operations do not cancel Hezbollah’s strategic achievement, which is the evacuation of residents of the northern border who were displaced from their homes more than six months ago.” [I believe most of these displaced people were in fact illegal settlers, many of whom terrorize the legitimate inhabitants. The land they inhabited was Palestinian. Of course, ALL of Israel is located on stolen land]

U.S. Economy in Crisis, the Demise of the American Dream & China's Rise w/ Prof. Richard Wolff
RACHEL BLEVINS
MAY 03, 2024
The latest economic data shows that the U.S. is still battling inflation, which is no secret to the American people as they are feeling the pain every time they visit the grocery store. As for the dream of home ownership, that is unattainable for many Americans, as home prices have soared and the Fed keeps interest rates high, and the increase in wages is nowhere near the increase in the living costs.

Bombs away: What goes around comes around?
By Jane Stillwater https://jpstillwater.blogspot.com/2024/04/bombs-away-what-goes-around-comes-around.html
A country whose economy is based almost entirely on the production of deadly weapons systems cannot survive for long. Why? First and foremost, because there are only a limited number of people in the world left for America to blow up.
In addition, all our other industries have been eroded, our farmlands are being diminished at a scary rate; our infrastructure and housing sucks eggs, our Congress has been bought off by Big Pharma and the Israel lobby and the Federal Reserve's inflationary Ponzi scheme will only work if there is war, war and more war.
All that America has going for itself right now is the production of bombs. This is a highly flammable situation. And yet nobody seems to notice but me. And nobody but me seems to realize that if America keeps bombing everything that moves all across the world, eventually somebody is gonna bomb us back.
PS: I'm not exactly looking forward to catching a plane at SFO tomorrow -- getting hustled and shoved through the TSA screening labyrinth there. However, visions of future TSA struggles did get me to thinking about September 11, 2001, the start of it all.
Remember back when there was no Homeland Security and no TSA, two direct products of 9-11? The main product of 9-11, however, was fear -- fear of Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Palestine, whatever. But all this time what we really should have been truly afraid of was America's weapons manufacturers.
PPS: Any American who turns on the evening news today can see living proof that our police are totally out of control and that we now live in a fascistic Brave New World. The flower of America's youth are being beaten to a pulp -- simply for protesting genocide.
No one who owns a TV in America today can ever, ever claim "I didn't know."

Outside agitator: Some creepy dude acts out at the UC Berkeley protest...
He kept screaming the F-word, trying to body-slam people and aggressively yelling, "Hit me! Hit me! I'm a Jew! They are attacking me! Brutality! Call the police!" Protestors tried to calm him down and then ignored him until he finally went away.
Outside agitation seems to be a pattern these days at anti-genocide demonstrations across 75 college campuses in America. At least America's students got it right. Genocide is a bad thing.
When are nations and international bodies such as the UN finally going to understand that enough is enough? How many more women and children have to be brutally murdered?
And also this holocaust in Gaza is a double genocide. Israelis are also risking extinction in order prove to themselves that following insane leaders is a good thing -- not to mention that America is risking retaliation on our shores by bombing so much of the rest of the world. "What goes around comes around".
And "war" is a bad thing too. On Day 789, the Ukrainians and Russians continue this insane village-by-village fight. Today they fought over a freaking gas station. Biden's favorite war (aside from genocide in Gaza) is murdering Ukraine, building by building.

https://www.quora.com/Why-are-civilians-being-targeted-in-the-Gaza-war/answer/Queen-Charlie-7
This is a brilliant and thoroughly well-documented answer to this question. This excerpt pretty much sums it up:
It is a war of extermination and colonialism.
Why else would Israel make secret concept plans for the “evacuation of civilians in Gaza to Sinai,” which would "yield positive, long-term strategic outcomes for Israel," to quote their documents? [48]
Why would the Israeli think-tank, the Misgav Institute for National Security and Zionist Strategy, release a paper inferring the situation presented "a unique and rare opportunity to evacuate the whole Gaza Strip in coordination with the Egyptian government…. At the moment, these conditions exist, and it is unclear when such an opportunity will arise again, if at all.”? [49]
Why would one of Israel’s wealthiest real estate developer companies with deep connections to the government and international companies post ads featuring Israeli soldiers pushing for Israeli settlement, share genocidal quotes from the bible, and make social media posts showing beachfront properties on top of images of a war-ruined Gaza, which they claimed was a ‘joke.’? [50] [51] [52]
Why would Israeli politicians (many in prominent positions of government), media figures, academics, and the general public at large be spouting genocidal rhetoric, which is affirmed and echoed by many of their own words, normalizing the mass murder of innocents and dehumanizing Palestinians as monsters: [53] [54]
“We are now rolling out the Gaza Nakba.”—Israeli security cabinet member and Agriculture Minister Avi Dichter. [55]
“A war that is intended, really, truly, to save western civilisation… [from] an empire of evil.”—Israeli President Isaac Herzog [56]
“Make Gaza Israel again… let’s rebuild the Jewish communities… and restore a civilian Jewish presence in Gaza... Only by firmly planting the flag deep into every part of the Land of Israel can we ensure our continued existence… Our enemies’ strategic vision assumes that the Jewish presence in this part of the world is temporary or transitory. Hence, to best combat it, we must do everything in our power to demonstrate that it is wrong; we are here to stay.”—The Jerusalem Post. [57]
'We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly.”—Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant. [58]
"There will be no electricity and no water (in Gaza), there will only be destruction. You wanted hell, you will get hell.”—Maj. Gen. Ghassan Alian. [59]
“There is no imminent famine [in Gaza], I think that is a complete lie and fabrication… That is a libel against Israel ... 10% of UNWRA are Hamas operatives ... There is no starvation.”—Ron Dermer Minister of Strategic Affairs [60]
“By the end of the war, all of Northern Gaza should be inhabited by Jews, this is the price for October 7th."—Zvika Fogel, Member on the Knesset [61]
"[Is there any number of civilian deaths of Palestinians that would stop you carrying on with military action?] ... We can not stop. We will not stop." Nir Barkat, Minister of the Economy [62]
“The UN breaks the Guinness World Record for rewarding terrorism. And if Hitler were alive, he would praise the UN, which is considering recognizing a Palesti-Nazi terror state. I criticized the idea and said that if this happens, the UN will be remembered as a body that has been hijacked by dictators and human rights violators. A body that rewards Nazi-like monsters.”—Gilad Erdan, Permanent Representative of Israel to the United Nations [63]
“You will die, your children will die, your grandchildren will die - there won't be a Palestinian state, there won't be.”—Hanoch Milwidsky, Member of the Knesset [64]
“Today it is clear to everyone that all Gazans must be destroyed."—Moshe Saada, Knesset Member. [65]
“I am personally proud of the ruins of Gaza, and that every baby, even 80 years from now, will tell their grandchildren what the Jews did.” May Golan, Member of the Knesset and Israeli Minister of Social Equality & Women's Advancement [66]
“If it is one Israeli mother crying, or a thousand Palestinian mothers crying, then a thousand Palestinian mothers will cry.”—Israeli lawmaker Zvika Fogel. [67]
“There is no such thing as a Palestinian nation. There is no Palestinian history. There is no Palestinian language.”—Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich. [68]
“Invest that energy in one thing… Erasing all of Gaza from the face of the earth.”—MP Galit Distel Atbaryan. [69]
“Gaza will eventually turn into a city of tents. There will be no buildings.”—An unnamed Israeli defense. [70]
“I am very puzzled by the constant concern which the world is showing for the Palestinian people and is actually showing for these horrible, inhuman animals.”—Former Israeli Ambassador to the UN, Dan Gillerman. [71]
“To me, they [Palestinians] are like animals, they aren’t human… The Palestinians aren’t educated towards peace, nor do they want it.”—Ben Dahan, Deputy of Religious Affairs. [72]
“'We Are Too Humane. Burn Gaza Now.”—Senior Israeli Lawmaker and Deputy Knesset Speaker Nissim Vaturi. [73]
“It is better to burn down buildings rather than have soldiers harmed. There are no innocents there ... One hundred thousand remain [in the north of Gaza]. I have no mercy for those who are still there. We need to eliminate them.”—Senior Israeli Lawmaker and Deputy Knesset Speaker Nissim Vaturi. [74]
"I see victory. I see all their infrastructure being annihilated. I see that they don't have one house [not destroyed]. See hundreds of thousands fleeing like Nakba, walking towards exile! I see it with my own eyes."—Avraham Zerbiv, Rabbi and IDF officer in Givati brigade. [75]
“We must find ways for Gazans that are more painful than death”—Amichay Eliyahu, Minister of Heritage [76]
“Jewish settlement on ruins of Palestinian villages is a message we must convey.”—Zvi Sukkot, Member of the Knesset [77]
“At least the northern Strip we must first of all conquer, annex, raze all the buildings and build neighborhoods.”—Zvi Sukkot, Member of the Knesset [78]
“In Gaza, everyone is involved. Everyone voted Hamas. Anyone over the age of four is a Hamas supporter.”—Rami Igra, Former head of Mossad Captive & Missing Division. [79]
"Yes, we set fire to houses [in Gaza]. As much as possible. And we are proud of it."—Yehuda Wald, Director of Religious Zionism Party [80]
"[The] only humane solution for Gaza is the mass deportation of its inhabitants."—Itamar Ben-Gvir, Minister of National Security of Israel [81]
“We don't leave the city centers in Gaza, that is the first thing ... The second thing I suggest, and I say this in the most explicit way ... occupy Gaza and stay there ... what can and should be done is voluntary migration plan. A plan of encouragement, that will allow them to leave ... If we decide to [to expel Palestinians from Gaza], we can do it.”—Itamar Ben-Gvir, Minister of National Security of Israel [82]
"They will move. The Arabs will move. ... We don't give them food, we don't give the Arabs anything. They will have to leave."—Daniella Weiss, Former Israeli Mayor and Settler activist. [83]
“Today, after 18 years [from disengagement from Gaza], we have the opportunity to rebuild and expand the land of Israel. This is our final opportunity."—Haim Katz, Minister of Tourism. [84]
“After October 7, instead of urging people to go south, we should direct them to the beaches. The Navy can transport them to the shores of Lebanon, where there are already sufficient refugee camps…
Then, a security strip should be established from the sea to the Gaza border fence, completely empty, as a reminder of what was once there. It should resemble the Auschwitz concentration camp."—David Azoulai, head of the Metula settlement council in Galilee. [85]
"The entire Gaza Strip should be emptied and leveled flat, just like in Auschwitz. Let it become a museum, showcasing the capabilities of the State of Israel and dissuading anyone from living in the Gaza Strip. This is what must be done to give them a visual representation."—David Azoulai, head of the Metula settlement council in Galilee. [86]
"There are no innocents in Gaza."-Avigdor Lieberman, Former Minister of Finance, Deputy Prime Minister. [87]
"We need to exact a territorial price from (Hamas), including returning Jewish settlements at least to the north of Gaza Strip.”—Ohad Tal, Member of the Israeli Knesset. [88]
"We'd like to see, and we've talked about this in government meetings, by the way. There aren't any countries that want to take them [Gazans], even if we pay a lot of money. We should encourage voluntary migration, and we should compel them until they say they want it. The war does that."—Shlomo Karhi, Minister of Communications. [89]
This isn’t even all of them.
