Netanyahu “working on it” all right: Completing his genocidal ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in Gaza
If a visitor from another planet came to earth and heard Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu say this about the Palestinians in Gaza, he might surmise Netanyahu was a pretty decent fellow:
“Our problem is finding countries willing to absorb Gazans…and we’re working on it.”
‘What a nice man to seek refuge for folks experiencing some sort of difficulty where they reside.’ the visitor might think. But if that visitor could get a glimpse of the genocidal ethnic cleansing with tens of thousands of bombs blasting nearly all Palestinians from their homes, cutting them off of virtually all food, water, medicine and hospital care, he would quickly view that ‘nice man’ as the monster he is.
Outside of the US government which is supporting and enabling Netanyahu’s genocide, the 191 other UN countries are horrified by Netanyahu’s campaign to remove every one of the 2.3 million Palestinians from Gaza. Even Netanyahu is beginning to squirm at the world’s condemnation of his massive civilian death toll which is destroying Israel’s moral standing in the world, possibly forever.
He first floated a trial balloon to send them all to live in tents in Egypt’s Sinai Desert. Egypt said ‘No way, Bibi.’ Just this week he began talks with the Congo to let them go there voluntarily, albeit using thousands of American’s best 2,000 bombs to encourage their volunteerism.
It would not take long for our interplanetary visitor to catch the next space ship back to his home planet to get as far away as possible from the grotesque madness being practiced on Palestinians in Gaza by Israel and America.
