THE TIMES OF ISRAEL — ISRAEL AT WAR — DAY 578

“Within a few months we will be able to declare that we have won. Gaza will be totally destroyed,” Smotrich says at the “Settlements Conference” in the West Bank settlement of Ofra, organized by the Makor Rishon newspaper.

“In another six months Hamas won’t exist as a functioning entity... The population of Gaza will be concentrated from the Morag Corridor southwards. The rest of the Strip will be empty.”

Adds the finance minister: “The Gazan citizens will be concentrated in the south. They will be totally despairing, understanding that there is no hope and nothing to look for in Gaza, and will be looking for relocation to begin a new life in other places.”

You'd think Israeli officials would at least word this differently, and I don't think they aren't smart enough to know what they are saying. This leaves as the only explanation that they really don't care and don't expect any consequences anyways, no matter what they do.

Once a bit more of our geriatric politicians age out / croak (can’t happen fast enough), they’ll be held accountable. Young people see what’s going on.

I lived in a similiar belief about my country politics, and now I know there's no easier thing than to indoctrinate children.
