A call for Gaza genocide

Moshe Feiglin, the deputy speaker of the Knesset, Israel’s parliament and a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ruling Likud Party, calls for the “conquest of the entire Gaza Strip, and annihilation of all fighting forces and their supporters.”

“This is our country – our country exclusively,” he writes, “including Gaza.”

 He goes on to propose that the Israeli army must “designate certain open areas on the Sinai border, adjacent to the sea, in which the civilian population will be concentrated...In these areas, tent encampments will be established, until relevant emigration destinations are determined..” (An actual call for the establishment of concentration camps!)

“The supply of electricity and water to the formerly populated areas will be disconnected...The formerly populated areas will be shelled with maximum fire power... destroyed entirely, down to their foundations." which would then be later to be "rebuilt as true Israeli touristic and commercial cities". In other words: "To turn Gaza into Jaffa, a flourishing Israeli city" after it has been ethnically cleansed.

Feiglin continues: “Israel will start searching for emigration destinations and quotas for the refugees from Gaza. Those who wish to emigrate will be given a generous economic support package, and will arrive at the receiving countries with considerable economic capabilities...those who insist on staying, if they can be proven to have no affiliation with Hamas, will be required to publicly sign a declaration of loyalty to Israel, and receive a blue ID card similar to that of the Arabs of East Jerusalem.”

This prominent Israeli politician’s position is that “There are no two states, and there are no two peoples. There is only one state for one people.”

Under the Genocide Convention Feiglin has committed a crime under accepted international law.

Already much of this advice intended for his prime minister has taken place. A quarter of Gaza’s population has been displaced according to estimates. A third of hospitals destroyed or damaged. Gaza's only power station have been destroyed. Water-wells and pipe-lines destroyed. Mufeed al-Hasayneh, Minister of Public Works, said Israel's offensive on Gaza has caused over $5 billion of damage to homes and infrastructure. Some 10,000 homes have been completely destroyed, and 30,000 homes partially destroyed. In Shujaiyya, where some 110,000 people live, sixty-percent of the homes were completely destroyed, especially those in the eastern part of the neighbourhood.
