Trump’s Gaza remarks are no surprise: ethnic cleansing was always the plan | Arwa Mahdawi

“They make a desert and call it peace,” Tests described Kalagaks.

In the meantime, Israel has built a Gaza cemetery, and Donald Trump is calling it a real opportunity. The President, as you know, has decided that the United States should only take over the Gaza Strip. As far as the Palestinians who are currently in trouble? According to Trump, they can be moved elsewhere. They can be thrown in Jordan or Egypt or Saudi Arabia. They will not mind. They are the same as Arabs.

This is not clear, anyway, of course, how many Palestinians have been left to reality. Fifteen months ago, Gaza had an estimated 2.1 million people. Official Death Tool is now About 62,000 people But it is very likely that it should be considered a total less that does not account for all “indirect deaths” from illness and inferiority. Writing in The Guardian in September, Devi Sridhar, the Chair of the World Health Public Health at Edinburgh University, noted that according to an estimation of an estimation published in the Lancet Medical Journal, the total number of casualties is estimated at 335,500. Will be installed.

It seems that Trump may agree with this estimate. Raising the voice of songs about his planned crimes against humanity, Trump said that “we are probably talking about 1.7 million, probably 1.8 million” in Gaza that will need to be transferred. If only reporters at Trump’s press conferences will ask him if he knows how many people are dead? However, it seems that most of the US press are not merely interested.

However, Trump is very interested in Gaza’s restoration plans. The word ‘shocking’ has been very much band to describe these very Trump’s property to explain the imaginary concepts. And, yes, the fact is that the president is so open, so open, about what he wants to do, he is shocking. But the idea that the United States and Israel want to get rid of all the Palestinians in the strip, then hardly anyone is shocked. However, this is effectively the same as Israel’s politicians and pundits, as well as Israeli supporters, all are saying: They want to make Gaza inaccessible and want to expel all Palestinians.

In October 2023, for example, Major General Jeora Elland, who is extremely influential, Is written In an Israeli article: “The state of Israel has no choice but to transform Gaza into a place that is temporarily or permanently impossible.” One and i ArticleEleland wrote: “Gaza will become a place where no human being can exist.”

Other people are very open that they want a certain kind of human being in Gaza – not just Palestinian. Last March, for example, Gerard Kushner spit about the possibility of making a water front property in Gaza, saying that Israel should move Palestinians to Negio Desert, while it “cleans” the strip. Settlement workers are also identifying places for Jews Slums in northern Gaza.

So, once again, if you are surprised by Trump’s comments about Gaza, you are not just paying attention. There are hundreds of documentary statements from high -level Israeli figures that call for the complete destruction of Gaza. And the growing list of genocide experts and human rights groups has described Israel as “genocide” in Gaza.

Talking to me last November, for example, the genocide expert Amir Bartov said, from the beginning, you can see “not only to move the population again and again, but also end everything There was a concrete attempt to be done, but also to be destroyed. “

Many foreigners have not been allowed to see the destruction for themselves in Gaza, but those who have gone in say the same thing. The last NovemberFor example, Norwegian Refugee Council Secretary General John Edland returned from Gaza’s trip and told BBC Radio that the north situation was “detained within the tragedy”. Egland stressed: “This is not self -defense. It is a systematic catastrophe in Gaza.

Now that the destruction of Gaza has been completed, it seems that forced migration is about to begin. On Wednesday, after some reaction from the international community, the Trump team made a backlash and suggested that it may not be permanent to be displaced. “The president has made it clear that he needs to temporarily move out of Gaza,” Levit said during a White House briefing.

But history will suggest that there will be nothing temporary about being homeless. My grandfather, who had to flee Haifa in 1948, was buried in the West Bank. My father was born there. However, he went in 1967, and he has no right to return. It seems inevitable that no Palestinians who leave Gaza will have the right to return.

Perhaps the most unpleasant thing about all this is gas lighting. Trump’s efforts to forcibly migrate his plans as a humanitarian process. On the contrary, this is a violation of international law. Although it seems too much hell like ethnic cleaning, I should note that this particular term is quite complicated.

Dr. John Rynolds, Associate Professor of the School of Law and Criminology at the University of Ireland, told me. In legal terms, “ethnic cleansing is usually a violation of international law, but the forced population transfer has been found guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity. “

However, in simple terms, Reynolds believes that Trump is clearly demanding a crime against humanity. Whether it is better to call this ethnic cleaning or forced migration, it is a bit more complicated. But, once again, what Trump wants to do clearly violates international law and will be a crime against humanity.

Will Trump really get what he wants? Who knows But the fact is that Trump is also pushing for these plans, and many legislators are shaking with him, speaks volumes about how inhuman Palestinians have been made.

Responding to Trump’s comments, Palestinian American Congress member, Rashida Commab, said: “Palestinians are not going anywhere. It is only because of bilateral cooperation in the Congress for financing the presidential genocide and ethnicity. The time has come for my two state solutions to support bullying.

Tilb is all right, but it should have mentioned the media as well. Another reason for increasing this “fanatical bullying” is that most of the Western media has been involved in defrauding Palestinians and making many experts known as genocide.

They have been involved in ignoring the fact that Gaza has become a cemetery for journalists. They have been involved in ignoring the fact that Israel has refused to inform foreign journalists freely from the strip. And they have been involved in producing horror after a cleaning, inactive, and violent language.

Most of the coverage of Trump’s comments still leaves the fact that by meeting Benjamin Netanyahu only – who was laughing like Cheshire cat with Trump when he made his comments about Gaza – Trump Ben Offering international law. The International Criminal Court has an arrest warrant for the Israeli Prime Minister for war crimes and crimes against humanity. If Trump is allowed to implement his plans, the reason is that the media helped pave the way for them. Talking for most of my colleagues in the American media is beyond time.
