🧵: Historically, Israel has tried to control Palestinians by isolating insurgents from their communities.

After the humiliation of 7 October, the aim is now to eliminate them both, argues Palestinian researcher Raja Abdulhaq in his column ⤵️
middleeasteye.net/opinion/jabali…
"Since the 7 October attack, Israel has adopted genocide as a population-centric counterinsurgency strategy," writes Abdulhaq.

"While this follows Israel’s historical perpetration of ethnic cleansing during the Nakba in 1948, the objectives of these two events are distinct" Image
In the Nakba, ethnic cleansing was used as a tactic of displacement for new European settlers.

“However, what has been unfolding in Gaza in the past year, especially in the north and in Jabalia recently, is a genocide aimed at the total subjugation of Palestinians” Image
