Israel officially operates an extermination camp to which it can in future – entirely "democratically" decided – deport entire Palestinian families from Israel. How did I come to that conclusion? When I read this, I immediately felt completely different:
Yesterday, the Israeli parliament passed a law that allows the state to deport people it classifies as "terrorists" and their family members to the Gaza Strip. The addition of "and to other countries" in the law is just rubbish. Where else should they deport people? To Egypt? To Iran? To Siberia? Nonsense, they can't decide what happens to other countries.
So it is about deporting unwanted Palestinians and their entire families from Israel to the Gaza Strip.
Everyone knows that the Gaza Strip is a death camp and will remain so for decades. In the north, they are letting hundreds of thousands of prisoners die in real time - you have to imagine this - without food, water or medicine. Before our very eyes. Everyone knows this.
Let's be clear: They sealed off an area for almost two decades, locked up over 2 million people in this open-air prison, kept them poor, left their inadequate care to the UN and waited for an escape attempt. That happened almost 13 months ago.
Then they reduce the area to rubble and ashes, kill tens of thousands with bombs, tens of thousands more through hunger and dirty water, destroy the health system and deliberately massacre civilians - an incredible number of children and helpers among them. By now they have probably massacred 10 percent of the camp's inmates in this way. And it just keeps going.
And now they want to openly start deporting Palestinians with Israeli citizenship, whom they accuse of being “terrorists” (regardless of the truth of the accusation), and their relatives to the extermination camp.
Mit anderen Worten:
Israel now operates its own extermination camp!
Just as the Nazis once exterminated the ancestors of many European Jews, the State of Israel is now exterminating Palestinians there.
I think this comparison is appropriate. The nature of planned industrial destruction is very clear: the current sealing off of the north, the starvation of hundreds of thousands of people, including children and babies, the targeted bombing of vital infrastructure and refugee camps, all while simultaneously locking up the population in the death camp and with massive military superiority.
Israel is operating an extermination camp for Palestinians in front of the world's public eye - and is now deciding, quite "democratically", to deport more Palestinians and - in the manner of Nazi collective punishment - their families there.
