The Guardian | The Israeli general who headed military intelligence on 7 October 2023...said the toll in #Gaza , which he put at more than 50,000 dead, was “necessary” as a “message to future generations” of Palestinians.

“They need a Nakba every now and then to feel the price,” he added, referring to the mass expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians from their homes and lands after the creation of #Israel in 1948.
