Israel seeks to discredit the ICJ and eradicate the Palestinian population through the dispersion of 2 million Palestinians worldwide, diverting attention from its actions. Starvation and mass immigration are proposed strategies.
It’s not a coincidence that the attacks on UNRWA took place after the ICJ ruling. Israel is trying to discredit the International Court of Justice, and one way of doing that is by rubbishing UNWRA. But UNWRA has fulfilled the heroic role of providing health, education and all other services to the Palestinian refugees since 1948. And it’s really heartbreaking that Israeli propaganda is now demonizing UNWRA and leading some countries to cut off aid. So, my sympathy and support is entirely on the side of UNWRA, and I hope it can long continue to play the vital role it has always played in supporting the Palestinian victims of Israeli aggression.

UNRWA provides food and flour distribution for the entire 2.2 million population of Gaza. Defunding UNRWA will lead to mass starvation and death.

Here’s your Zionist quiz for the day: Why did Israel launch a full-blown media blitz on a United Nations relief agency (UNRWA) on the same day that the International Criminal Court of Justice (ICJ) released its historic genocide ruling?
- —To divert attention from the fact that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza
- —To inform the public that new intelligence had serviced revealing Hamas involvement in the United Nations Relief and Works Agency
- —To assure people everywhere that Israel’s main concern is fighting terrorism
- —To activate the final phase of their ethnic cleansing operation
If you answered “4” then pat yourself on the back because that is the right answer. Of course, it’s also true that Israel wanted to divert attention from the ICJ’s announcement, but that pales in comparison to the launching of the final phase of its ethnic cleansing operation. This is the real coup de grâce, the final death blow to the two-state solution and a practical remedy to Israel’s nagging demographic problem. This is also the critical puzzle piece that makes sense of the last 100-plus days of relentless bombardment, airstrikes and other forms of state terror. It’s as if Israel is boldly laying down its cards so the entire world can see the strategy it plans to employ to eradicate the native population and fulfill the Zionist dream of a Jewish state from the river to the sea.
And what might that strategy be?
To disperse 2 million Palestinians to the four corners of the earth via mass immigration.
But, how will they do that, after all, haven’t a number of countries already refused to take the Palestinians?
Indeed, they have, but that is before the (soon to-be-published) photos of starving women and children flooded social media sites around the world generating an unprecedented outpouring of sympathy for the beleaguered population. And as public sympathy leads to widespread outrage, more and more people will demand that their governments take action to relieve the suffering through mass immigration. This is how Israel intends to rid itself of its native population and create Zionist Valhalla, a Jewish majority into perpetuity.
This is why Israel has launched its ferocious attack on UNWRA, because UNWRA—more than any other humanitarian organization operating in the Middle East—helps to keep the Palestinians fed and housed which is at-odds with Israeli explicit intentions. The last thing Israel wants is for the Palestinians to establish a massive refugee camp near Rafah that will balloon in size in years to come. That phenom has already taken place in both Jordan and Lebanon where nearly 3 million Palestinians still languish in refugee camps (75 years after the creation of the Israeli state) and are still determined to return home sometime in the future. That is not what Israel wants. Israel wants the Palestinians to ‘vanish into thin air’ which is why they want them dispersed around the world so even the thought of returning home, will never enter their minds.
So, while Israeli leaders do not relish the reputational damage they are experiencing due to their treatment of the Palestinians, they are willing to endure it in order to achieve their broader strategic objectives which are the complete eradication of the Arab population and the strengthening of a permanent Jewish majority.
Israel’s overall strategy was best summarized by Daniella Weiss, a former mayor of a West Bank settlement, who said the following in a short interview on Tik Tok:
“They will move. They will move. The Arabs will move….. So, we don’t give them food, we don’t give the Arabs anything, and they will have to leave. The world will accept them.” (Middle East Eye, Tik Tok)
That’s Israel’s plan in a nutshell.

Its past time to remove the terrorists and blackmailers in the illegal state of isn’treal .palestine needs freed.
Very often in my comments I go against accepted dogma and accordingly don’t have many takers. If we consider war itself a proven sign of barbaric creatures, condition affecting all of us for the foreseeable future, then The Zionist military tactics of Totalen Krieg (in Nazi Germany’s mold) in Gaza, are perfectly justified because we can not judge them from a moral perspective that would make them unacceptable. War is hell brothers and sisters, and must be pursued to destroy the enemy without hesitation.
Zionist leaders and their supporters for many decades even before Israel’s foundation in 1948, have openly declared their genocidal goals against an inferior race. Meaning Palestinians, Arabs and in fact if necessary, any and all of those not part of the Judaic tribe including Americans themselves, fact stupidly ignored by the US masses. Therefore, there is no alternative but use the same approach against them in the present conflict. The political and moral consequences of the elimination of this entity, will greatly advance the cause of the future job of dismantling other centers of Zionist power around the world, task that must be accomplished without delay.
Gaza is just the first stage of a comprehensive clean up job for the civilized world.
Nazi Zionist Israel is a vicious, hideous perversion of the idea of nationhood and must be destroyed and eradicated.
Under the leadership of Netanyahu’s Likud as well as other parties even further to the ultra-nationalist right, ethnic cleansing of Palestinians out of the home they have had for thousands of years is taking place. As the US and other Western nations condemned ethnic cleansing in the Yugoslav War in the Nineties, so must the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians be condemned by all nations who oppose such murderous racism. The present failure of the US to condemn Israel’s ethnic cleansing and its supplying them with the weapons to destroy Palestine is itself a serious war crime. We should hold the Biden administration responsible for this ongoing crime against humanity/
Does anyone need any more information to prove who is in control of most governments of the world? Ariel Sharon and Bibi Miliekowski have demonstrated repeatedly that western-govts. are controlled by the same satanic organisation using the 57, 000 US troops based in the Middle-East.
Kindly stop shooting the I$ra€£i decoy ducKKK and focU$ on the WA$P puppeteers behind the arras $moKKK€$creen.
The Tel Aviv crew of Fort Zion cannot function without the supp£i€r$ in Wa$hington, £ondon, B€r£in, Pari$….and the other first responders to Netanyahu’s smear of UNRWA as misdirection from the ICJ’s findings.
Note, for starters, the alacrity with which UNRWA’s funding was staunched and comare it to the vaccillations when Bibi ‘mows the lawn’ in full public view with predictable regularity. Never a tut from the mora£i$€rs of the one-cardinal-point ‘West’-£ocKKKed compass (a functioning compass has 4 cardinal points).
I$ra€£ is not a ‘Jewish’ creation, its was created to put the cherry on Adolf’s caKKKe of Teutonic white supremacism, coU$in of the Ang£o-$axon strain, and gives finale to his solution of Europa judenrein.
No matter how we try to like Israel, it just isn’t possible. They are twisting reality to pedal their rubbish, and many fools in the west swallow it whole! I pride myself on being part of a multicultural family, with children born in three distinct countries. I have always tried not to press my way of thinking on them, but they have all come to their own conclusions about the middle East, and I can only hope it reflects the opinions of others in their age groups.
Christians are a strange lot, always eager to kill in the name of Christ..
You’re right Doug, hypocrisy is their middle name, That reminds me of the old guru who long ago told us: ‘Religion is the opium of the masses’. Truer words were never spoken, hallelujah.
“So, while Israeli leaders do not relish the reputational damage they are experiencing due to their treatment of the Palestinians, they are willing to endure it in order to achieve their broader strategic objectives which are the complete eradication of the Arab population and the strengthening of a permanent Jewish majority.”
In parallel with this mad dash effort is the awareness among Jewish leaders both inside and outside Israel that the public will realize that the Jewish communities in their own countries are part of the Israeli effort. Both in Israel and in the USA, the overwhelming majorities of the Jewish communities are sanctioning the slaughter of Palestinians. This is dangerous for all of Judaism, because all of Judaism is involved with this effort, except for a few self haters.
But these leaders must’ve made the calculation, figuring they can beat back protests against Jews, in a tremendous effort to condemn such protests as the most horrible thing on the planet. It’s not horrible. It’s an attempt by these protestors – many of whom are Jewish – to condemn the source of the western political support the Israeli Jews need to get away with genocide.
I hope for Palestinians & Israelis that opportunities will arise where individuals among these have the intellectual bravery to reach out & ‘debate’ (French ‘de’ = ‘undo’ + ‘bate’ = ‘the-fight’) with each other. Both-sided, Equal-time, Recorded & Published DIALOGUE, easily sorts our disputes, aggressions & war because being answerable for what one says, one’s reputation & the integrity of one’s actions are core human values.
While I come from mixed Christian & Jewish (3 branches) family, it is among my Palestinian & Arabic friends that I find individuals willing to formally dialogue. I am particularly disappointed by Christian & Jewish Zionist friends & family, who as Chauvinists, aren’t curious & don’t leave opportunity for what they don’t know or fear in-group rejection & hence fear recorded public dialogue & act from group propaganda fantasies violently.
Oligarch commanded & controlled Colonial humanity is indoctrinated, trained & behaviour modified into INTELLECTUAL COWARDICE with mandated Fake one sided MONOLOGUES in: ‘Education’ (Latin ‘educare’ = ‘to-lead-forth-from-within’), ‘Religion’ (L. religio’ = ‘to-relate’), ‘Finance’ (Fr. to conclude or ‘end’ obligation), ‘Militarism’ (‘activate’), Business, ‘Media’ & ‘Medicine’ (L ‘medium’ = ‘middle’ or ‘balance’),
Ashkenazi invading Palestine 120 years ago did not engage their Palestinian confreres in formal Dialogue for possible collaboration. The opportunity exists for Israeli Ashkenazi to join with their Palestinian neighbours in such formal dialogues for understanding truth & collaborative pathways forward. https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/d-participatory-structure/1-both-sides-now-equal-time-recorded-dialogues
Our media needs to live up to origins, with licenses given only to those who engage both sides. Social media can for example have a ‘Debate’ button enabling those wishing to engage authors & other commenters to build organization for a ‘debate’ on line in chats & comment sections. We don’t need Censorship or Cancelling in any regard, but desperately do need ‘Dialectic Rights’ as Socrates arranged as the core of Academia over 2500 years ago or Mohandas Gandhi helped facilitate as ‘Satyagraha’ (Hindi ‘Truth-search’) 80 years ago in realizing India’s ‘Swaraj’ (H. ‘self-rule’) & the economic collaboration of ‘Swadeshi’ (H. ‘indigenous’ aka ‘Self-sufficiency’, which brought the necessary unity. https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/d-participatory-structure/1-communication-converting-social-media-from-mono-to-dialogue-libya
