Well yeah they should move them in camps while trying to find a final solution to the Palestinian problem.
Wait, I feel like I've heard of something similar somewhere.

While they're at it, let's have them make things while in the camps. Because after all, work makes you free, right?

Maybe they’ll send them to Madagascar.

The authors mention the necessity of “creating ideological change” in the Palestinian population through a process of what it likens to “de-Nazification,” requiring Israel to “dictate the school curricula and enforce its use for an entire generation.”

Ah yes, the "de-Nazification" card... right after keeping a whole generation imprisoned under Hamas rule. How convenient. 😒

They're "de-nazifying" Palestine much the same way that Russia is "de-nazifying" Ukraine (ie - murdering tons of civilians with the express purpose of ethnic cleansing and area to steal land)

If you are going to push for moving 2.2 million people to the Sinai Penninsula (population 600k), you might want to ask Egypt if they are okay with that since that is their territory. Considering their hostility towards Palestinians in the past, I am guessing they would not be keen on the idea.

But let's just call this idea what it really is: ethnic cleansing.

Am I off base in seeing some similarities between this and the genocide of the Rohingya in Myanmar?

Propaganda is running well when Israel can casually do holocaust...

So, Hitler, pretty much.

This source doesn't seem terribly credible, and I don't have the capability of evaluating the Israeli website for its credibility either. If this gets picked up by a major news organization, as credible it would put a very interesting spin on the global politics.

Not sure how they're going to get Egypt to agree to absorb 2 million refugees. Egypt has been explicit about not wanting more Muslim brotherhood supporters in their borders. Egyptian officials have even made statements to the effect of, if the West cares so much, they should accept the refugees.

From a military perspective, Egypt would be insane to accept the refugees, because now Israel would have a military target to attack next time the displaced population lashed out. They would start attacking Egyptian military installations, on the theory that you need to be controlling your people. And I'm sure Egypt wants to keep its military equipment intact

There's a link to The Calcalist saying the same thing. That's an Israeli paper - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcalist
