@HeavenlyPossum @rameshgupta @AlliFlowers @QasimRashid @pewnack Actually, he said when asked it was "one of the possibilities" and got critizised and suspended over it. So its not the line of the government. Nor the population. Though having these stupidly cruel extremist as part of the goverment is a hugh problem.

Meanwhile hamas government program is genocidal, its actions are genocidal. It employs systematic rape and targeted killing of babies. Genocidal actions are praised and not punished

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and Intelligence Minister Gila Gamliel have separately advocated for ethnically cleansing Gaza. Gamliel’s ministry circulated a paper on expelling the population of Gaza into the Sinai desert.

@HeavenlyPossum @AlliFlowers @rameshgupta @QasimRashid @pewnack No, it was a leaked single-author draft from inside the Intelligence ministry, wasn't it? Not a government position or even a proposal? Meanwhile Bibi and a lot of other government officials made it clear that they are opposed to an Israeli occupation of Gaza. They could be lying, of course. But what are the indicators for that?

To me, it looks like you are cherry-picking your facts to support your worldview and focus.

Agriculture Minister Avi Dichter said that Israel is “rolling out the Gaza Nakba.”

@HeavenlyPossum

And here's the complete quote:

"Israeli security cabinet member and Agriculture Minister Avi Dichter (Likud) was asked in a news interview on Saturday whether the images of northern Gaza Strip residents evacuating south on the IDF’s orders are comparable to images of the Nakba. He replied: “We are now rolling out the Gaza Nakba. From an operational point of view, there is no way to wage a war – as the IDF seeks to do in Gaza – with masses between the tanks and the soldiers.”"

@billiglarper

That’s not any better.

MK Revital Gotliv:

“Topple buildings!! Bomb unconsciously!! Stop with this impotence. You have [the] ability. There is wall-to-wall international legitimacy! Flatten Gaza. Without mercy! This time there is no room for mercy!”

@HeavenlyPossum It makes quite a difference. And kollektiva.social gives you the characters to give a proper quote. Yet you chose to distort it.

That's even without considering basics of political communication. A politician wanting to do something doesn't mean they have the power to do so. And politicians stating an intent doesn't necessarily mean they are sincere about it.

There's little truth when you downplay Hamas enacting genocide on all levels, yet generalize every Israeli fringe idiot.

Pretty fucked-up system you describe there. Maybe we should dump it.
