Jewish settlers set their sights on Gaza beachfront

I am surprised the BBC is reporting on it. Again; I expect this is the end result of Israel’s invasion of Gaza. While Gaza was never apart of Israel, not even in antiquity, this is not stopping Israeli visionaries and thought leaders from envisioning a Gaza filled with Israelis instead of Palestinians.

Maybe one day the displaced Palestinians can go to Uganda.

Who wouldn't want a house on the beach? For some on Israel's far-right, desirable beachfront now includes the sands of Gaza.

Just ask Daniella Weiss, 78, the grandmother of Israel's settler movement, who says she already has a list of 500 families ready to move to Gaza immediately.

"I have friends in Tel Aviv," she says, "so they say, 'Don't forget to keep for me a plot near the coast in Gaza,' because it's a beautiful, beautiful coast, beautiful golden sand".

She tells them the plots on the coast are already booked.

Mrs Weiss heads a radical settler organisation called Nachala, or homeland. For decades, she has been kickstarting Jewish settlements in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, on Palestinian land captured by Israel in the 1967 Middle East war.

Her vision for the future of Gaza - now home to 2.3 million Palestinians, many of them starving - is that it will be Jewish.

"Gaza Arabs will not stay in the Gaza Strip," she says. "Who will stay? Jews."

She claims that Palestinians want to leave Gaza and that other countries should take them in - although in a lengthy interview, she rarely uses the word "Palestinian".

"The world is wide," she says. "Africa is big. Canada is big. The world will absorb the people of Gaza. How we do it? We encourage it. Palestinians in Gaza, the good ones, will be enabled. I'm not saying forced, I say enabled because they want to go."

Daniella Weiss does not deny charges of ethnic cleansing

 

It’s just state sponsored British propaganda, I know.

 

I’ll refrain from over-posting. I know it can be quite annoying.

Sorry.
