AP finds an Israeli group discreetly organized the mystery flights evacuating Palestinians from Gaza

> whose founder adamantly supported U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal Maga has infected the f****** world.

Clethnic Ensing.

Yeah that's called Ethnic cleansing.

Well, it's not Madagascar, but pretty close.

A bit of a long shot but I wonder if there are some legacy ties to Apartheid there.

"Congratulations! You're the lucky recipients of an all-expense-paid ticket to Get Right the F*** Out of Here and Die!"

I \*fully\* thought they were just helping people escape somewhere dangerous. I can't believe I'm still this f****** naive sometimes.

Exile is better than a bullet, I suppose. But yeah, this is all incredibly fucked up.

I literally went, “Finally, good news” and then realized the headline mislead me a bit lol

Yeah went through the same mental process there. 

It's literal Holocaust shit, except being done BY jews this time

And these are the "nice" monsters because they are relocating them. Plenty of Palestinians are just being killed wholesale.

I'm honestly surprised that so many people had such a reaction. When I read that it was an Israeli group, it was instantly apparent that this would be an act of ethnic cleansing. I wouldn't expect anything else from them. 

The entire genocide is Gaza is because the Israelis want the land under them. People think they are killing them because they just hate them and they are evil. They feel nothing for the Gazans except indifference. They are exterminating them because it was the most cost effective option to them. They would have done this to anyone who was living on that land.

“There’s no place here what were you expecting? No room for both, just room for me”

Hmm… Perhaps some sort of scrubbing or cleaning of a group of people sharing racial and cultural traits…. _But what could we call it?_

Forced Relocation? Ethnic Cleansing? Cultural Genocide? F****** Batshit?

also egypt

Um history is a hell of a redundancy

There's [another Israeli charity](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yad_L%27Achim) that specialises in breaking up interfaith marriages. Under the guise of saving women from abuse. But it's only ever Jewish women, and the men are always from another religion, and usually Arab.

Nah it's not specifically bibis israel

There's no such thing as a "government only" genocide. Genocide is a whole societal action against an ethnic group that can only be completed with the cooperation (tacit, or otherwise overt in some cases like this one) of the population.  As the saying goes "if 10 people are sitting at the table and one of them is a Nazi, then you have 10 Nazis" (the irony is not lost on me that this phrase was coined by the very genocide that created Israel). Obviously this doesn't mean that *every* member of the society, or even the perpetrating group agrees with it (see: Oskar Schindler - there were even good Nazis). But the phrase exists because genocide doesn't happen without a very large support base in the population. As such, it should come as no surprise that the Israeli people are pro-genocide too. They're sitting at the table.

My views aren't aligned with the group who planned these flights. But I don't see how letting people leave, of their own volition, is ethnic cleansing? And if Palestinians aren't allowed to leave then its an "open air-prison"... so what's the ethical choice here?

It’s been that way since 1948, you were just asleep at the wheel. 

And hardly “evacuating” them, as AP inaccurately describes it. 

Deporting implies it was involuntary. This is more like paying for a greyhound bus ticket for the homeless guy camping in the green space behind your house.

This might be the most disingenuous, cynical, and dark false binary I've ever seen.

I mean they were coerced by the whole living in the world’s largest open air prison thing. If I come into your home and point a gun at you and offer to call you a cab to go somewhere else are you freely making the decision to take the cab?

Right. Both sides want to use them as pawns. 

Forcefully? They asked to leave.

Were they forcefully relocated? Were they forced to board the planes?

They view it as defending themselves. It's really tempting to ignore the innocents being harmed when you've been running to bomb shelters at 3:00AM every other night for years because Hamas/Hezbollah /Houthies have been lobbing explosives in your general direction indiscriminately, gunning down your kids at music festivals by the hundreds, or watched suicide bomber's detonate school busses full of children. There's almost no one in israel that doesn't know someone killed or maimed in a terror attack.

There is outrage from the Israeli people. I admit we’ve become the minority though.
