Amira Hass, Haaretz: The Final Expulsion of Palestinians Is Underway – and Your Indifference Enables It
'The changes being made under the umbrella of decisiveness are tectonic and they're occurring at lightning speed. They are of biblical proportions. The official armies of God and their subcontractors are engaged in expulsion and erasure, in emulating the achievements in Gaza. These legions of holy warriors are expelling one shepherd community after another, attacking village after village and school after mosque.'
'A spring, a fertile plain and an olive grove – access to them has been blocked for those who have owned them for centuries. The Palestinian Authority's revenues are in the hands of our Finance Ministry. The sabra plants and the beauty of the land are ours alone. There are still dwindling Palestinian shepherd communities here and there, or villages whose structures were built before 1967, but don't worry. They're getting poorer and poorer, more and more exhausted.'
'The West Bank's Area C, which came down to us from Mount Sinai, is filled with strictly kosher sheep farms rolling in money and demanding government funding and support. Now, they've already spilled over into Area B. Next, it will be the turn of Area A and its cities. The army of God's chosen ones knows no fear, there's no method of abuse it's unwilling to employ. Every deputy battalion, brigade and company commander, every police investigator and chief of staff is its active partner. Your brothers in arms in Judea and Samaria are targeting the Palestinian cities. They wouldn't have succeeded if it weren't for your indifference.'
'After the Palestinians have been concentrated into urban enclaves, engineered by our best military leaders, it will be time to plan their final expulsion. To Jordan? Another war? Peanuts for the Almighty's army.'
'Smotrich's project has been underway for the last three years, conducted openly and consistently. Its foundations were already established by its spiritual ancestors in the West Bank from the mid-1990s, from Yitzhak Rabin's bypass roads to Ariel Sharon's call for settlers to "Go to the Hills" and the manufactured helplessness of the agencies of law and order in the face of the settlers' organized violence against Palestinians and their property.'
Re: Amira Hass: The Final Expulsion of Palestinians Is Underway
The magnitude of this cruelty towards all Palestinians is utterly soul crushing. How any of the perpetrators and their enablers in high places can say and pretend they are religious or christian, is disgusting to the nth degree. I hope at least some Palestinians can find a little peace and solace one of these days, doesn't look like it though."I won't dignify the attacker's words by repeating them, they are horrific and vile."
