Opinion: Gaza transfer plan: The banality of ethnic cleansing
Widespread support for the idea of transferring the population of Gaza to other countries, alongside the notion that “there are no innocent people” in the Palestinian enclave, constitute a betrayal of every moral principle that should guide a people who endured the Holocaust.
All those who support the “voluntary migration” proposal should understand: the Palestinian people are not going anywhere.
The fact that polls show overwhelming support among Jewish Israelis for the idea of expelling Palestinians from Gaza is horrifying, and it demands deep soul-searching - especially for a people who suffered the barbarities of the Holocaust, racism and mass murder.
Their willingness today to adopt a concept that echoes these horrors reflects a serious moral distortion.
