U.S. Plans To Ethnically Cleanse Gaza

This is, presumably, the U.S.-Israeli plan for the Palestinian people in Gaza:

Harry Sisson @harryjsisson – 1:44 UTC · Oct 11, 2023

Amazing: President Biden is working on a plan with other countries that would allow civilians to safely leave Gaza and cross the border into Egypt. This is great news. President Biden is making sure that innocent people don’t die due to the actions of Hamas. That’s leadership.

No, it is not leadership. It is ethnic cleansing, a war crime disguised as humanitarian gesture. It is ethnic cleansing of people who's land has been stolen by Zionist settlers. These people would have no right of return to the homes and land they once owned. People who have been put into an open air prison, who have no access to electricity, water and food and are currently under intense attacks.

Egypt, the only country where they potentially could be moved to, is already bankrupt. It can not even provide for its own people. Two million new people from Gaza, all poor and some of them radicalized, would undoubtedly unbalance the Egyptian state.

Should such a plan be put into action it would guarantee that the resistance axis, Hizbullah and various other Sunni and Shia groups in the Middle East, would step in. They would attack Israel to prevent such a move.

The U.S. thinks it can deter resistance action by threatening to move in with its own forces. That's why the USS Herald Ford, its newest carrier, was moved into the Eastern Mediterranean. Rumors have it that a second carrier will come in too.

But the resistance can not be deterred by that. The last time the U.S. tried to intervene in Lebanon it ended up with 241 dead Marines and had to retreat in shame. Hizbullah at that time was only a handful of men. Today Hizbullah has tens of thousands of very well trained men. Then there are also Iran and Russia:

As I said in my analysis today of the NATO intervention in the Israeli northern front, it's inconceivable that Russia should stay silent in the face of such brazen NATO overreach. This seat-of-the-pants, unmandated NATO panic move will speed up Russia's pivot from pro-Israel to pro-Arab that started with the deaths of Russian airmen caused by an IAF aggression against Syria and was locked in with Netanyahu's support for the nazi regime in Kiev.

The Russian military has long identified Israel as an enemy state and Putin is now conceding to them, acknowledging the failure of yet another one of his strategies, namely the political use of the Russian Jewish community in Israel via his "friend" Avigdor Lieberman. Russian Jews in Israel are virulently anti-Arab, so Putin tried not to upset them.

Today, however, with Bibi bringing in the full might of NATO to the Eastern Mediterranean to threaten not only Lebanon but Russian bases in Syria, it's no more Mr. Nice Guy. With Patrushin and Shoygu holding the reins of state and a clear and present NATO threat on Syria's doorstep, expect a strong and unexpected Russian intervention in the multifront Israel-Hamas-Hezbollah war.

Rybar Force @rybar_force – 15:52 UTC · Oct 11, 2023

❗️🇱🇧🇺🇸 The American Embassy in Lebanon is being evacuated. American citizens are advised to leave the country as soon as possible.

It looks like the American leadership will have to keep its word and join the war on the side of Israel after all.

Later adding – Ooops:

U.S. Embassy Beirut @usembassybeirut – 16:23 UTC · Oct 11, 2023

The U.S. Embassy in Beirut has not evacuated and is open and operating normally. Reports saying otherwise are false. For more information and travel advisories, visit our embassy website: lb.usembassy.gov

Ethnic cleansing Gaza, as was recently done by Azerbaijan and Armenians, is likely to have been a well studied option, fully analyzed well in advance by both Israel and USA. Many have noted the prize of Gaza’s coastline and natural resources which now would be in Israel’s hand.
<=your comment suggest a theory that the defeat in Ukraine forced a change of plan which lead to a false flag Palestinian invasion designed to justify clearing the way for a take over of the vastly important Gaza coastline. Timing certainly supports that theory. also the very revealing comment by 1. Nervous German | Oct 11 2023 20:22 utc | 164 which ended with "The empire needs to focus all its prowess on Israel" 2. Posted by: Stonebird | Oct 11 2023 20:30 utc | 168 One Zionist motivation for forced deportation or genocide of the people in Gaza, are the Oil/Gas sites directly offshore. 3. Posted by: danf51 | Oct 11 2023 20:37 utc | 171 Hamas is the government of Gaza. By 2007, Hamas had taken over and there have been no elections since. 4. Posted by: golan globus | Oct 11 2023 20:45 utc | 175 the Gaza greater Israel area is needed for future oil and gas projects 5. By 2007, Hamas had taken over and there have been no elections since. supports your theory, gives plausible cause. explains how the secret was able to be kept and may explain that sanctions likely were imposed against Russia to prevent Russia from being able to sell its oil and gas on any market that might compete with the off shore Gaza oil and gas, it also explains the destruction of the Nord Stream II, and adds a new suspect to the destruction of NSII, as that too blocked Russian Oil and gas from reaching western markets. Posted by: Sandy Freeman | Oct 11 2023 21:34 utc | 206 Still puzzled as to WHY [or how] Hamas did this. Think not about Israel, Palestine, Hamas or Netanyuoa, Biden but think private investment in Big corporate oil and gas interest. <=Nation states have no reason to war with each other, unless their is an underlying economic reason.

There is a good record of aircraft and artillery (naval guns) effectiveness vs. a fanatically determined foe, well entrenched with established tunnel networks, in the USMC Pacific campaign in WWII from roughly summer of 1943 on. The Japanese themselves had neither aircraft nor much, if any, artillery support.
The net result, as far as the USMC was concerned, was that standoff aircraft bombing and naval fire were essentially worthless. Once the Marines engaged in the close combat needed to root out the enemy, indirect fire had to stop so as to prevent friendly fire casualties.
It turned out flamethrowers, both carried by infantry and tank mounted systems, were the most effective at attacking the Japanese in their caves and tunnels. In fact, it was the flamethrower tanks which proved the most effective as the infantry flamethrower specialists suffered 90% casualties in short order.
Clearing Hamas out of the 141 square miles of Gaza will be a superhuman task. The IDF is incapable of taking the enormous number of necessary casualties and they’ve known this for quite some time.

Hamas has an interest in not being replaced by a more radical organization in Gaza.
Of course, it is clear that the Zionists’ pathological approach includes the aim of acquiring the “spoils” of the oil fields.

It’s a great plan, if they can pull it off.
Israel can’t go all Bakhmut in the Gaza strip. It would be a never-ending nightmare.
What they should do instead (and I heartily hope that they do) is to learn from the US in Falluja. You let people go out (which Egypt would have to accept if the US play their “transfers” card well), and everybody who stays is a an enemy combatant. Then you go in slowly and methodically with your “shake and bake”. The UN did not have objections then, they will not have any now.
My only fear is that Bibi is barking louder than he wants to bite. Time will tell.

Wondering if anyone has posted this video.

Note the spotlessly clean , fresh looking ravers and lack of litter as others have noted.
Then @1:20 have a look at the “terrorists” landing. They are PARACHUTING in!! Nothing motorised there.
They can only have jumped from an aircraft , but Gaza has no airports and no one mentioned an aircraft.
The story is provably false.

The U.S. Embassy in Beirut has not evacuated and is open and operating normally. Reports saying otherwise are false. For more information and travel advisories, visit our embassy website: lb.usembassy.gov

This statement is ambiguous on purpose. The statement conjugated the verb “to have” instead of “to be”. That building cannot evacuate and as such can be true even when the curtains are being taken down in the windows again.

This site has lost all credibility with their “ethnic cleansing” BS.
The Palestinian regime in GAZA and the West Bank have a very long history of severely punishing anyone among them that dissents from the total destruction of Israel the wiping out of the Israeli people . Hamas and the PLA are terrorist front organizations that want to destroy Israel. These attitudes are totally consistent with the Islamic belief that once a land belongs to Islam under Dar Al Islam concept it can never be allowed to be ruled by the infidel, so Israel must be destroyed and no legitimate peace agreement can be made.
Relocating Palestinian civilians from these areas is the Humanitarian thing to do. With the advent of this ruthless, inhumane war with Hamas and Hiz b Allah’s access to sophisticated drone technology, better missile technology, access to black market American weaponry and a nuclear capable Iran, it is difficult to see how things can ever revert back to the uneasy peace that allowed Gaza and West Bank to exist on Israel’s doorstep.
