In this thread, I'd like to prove to you that what Israel is doing in Gaza is premeditated slaughter that preceded October 7 by decades.

I will use quotes from zionist colonizers themselves.

1. Calls to ensure the total subjugation, decimation, and humiliation of the native population.

“We shall reduce the Arab population to a community of woodcutters and waiters”—Uri Lubrani, PM Ben-Gurion’s special adviser on Arab Affairs, 1960.

“When we have settled the land, all the Arabs will be able to do about it will be to scurry around like drugged cockroaches in a bottle.”—Raphael Eitan, Chief of Staff of the Israeli Defence Forces, New York Times, 14 April 1983.

“We have to kill all the Palestinians unless they are resigned to live here as slaves.”  Chairman Heilbrun of the Committee for the Re-election of General Shlomo Lahat, the mayor of Tel Aviv, October 1983.

"[The Palestinians] would be crushed like grasshoppers … heads smashed against the boulders and walls."—Yitzhak Shamir in 1988:

2. Calls to Make Life Miserable to Cause “Voluntary Migration”

Joseph Weitz, 1940: "​We must do everything to ensure they never return... not one village, not one tribe must be left."​

Rehavam Ze’evi, 2001: "​We must encourage them to leave. We must make life so difficult for them that they will want to leave."​

Moshe Feiglin, 2014: "​We must encourage emigration from Gaza. We must make it clear that there is no future for them here."​

Bezalel Smotrich, 2023: "​We should offer emigration packages to Palestinians in Gaza. It's the humane solution."​

Moshe Feiglin 2014: “Gaza is part of Israel, and should remain as such forever...that strip of land should become part of sovereign Israel to be populated by Jews...Israel should invest a lot of money...so in 10-15 years the Arab population in Gaza will be much smaller.”

3. Calls to replace Palestinians natives with imported foreign Jews.

David Ben-Gurion, 1937: "​We must expel Arabs and take their places."​

Ariel Sharon, 1998: "​Grab more hills, expand the territory. Everything that's grabbed will be in our hands. Everything we don't grab will be in their hands."​

Zeev Jabotinsky, 1923: "​Zionist colonization must either stop or proceed regardless of the native population."

4. Calls to genocide and/or ethnic cleansing

Bezalel Smotrich, Feb 2023: "​Huwara needs to be wiped out. I think the State of Israel should do it."

Moshe Feiglin, 2014: “Gaza should be conquered and flattened… its population encouraged to emigrate.”

Joseph Weitz 1973: “The only solution is Eretz Israel, or at least Western Eretz Israel [all the land west of Jordan River], without Arabs. There is no room compromise on this point … We must not leave a single village, not a single tribe.”  

Benjamin Netanyahu 1989: “Israel should have exploited the repression of the demonstrations in China, when world attention focused on that country, to carry out mass expulsions among the Arabs of the territories.”

5. Admissions that they came as conquers and colonizers

Theodor Herzl, 1895: "​We shall try to spirit the penniless population across the border by procuring employment for it in the transit countries, while denying it any employment in our own country."​

Vladimir Jabotinsky, 1923: "​Zionist colonization must either stop or proceed regardless of the native population."​

David Ben-Gurion, 1947: "​We must expel Arabs and take their places."​

David Ben Gurion 1970s:  "If I were an Arab leader, I would never sign an agreement with Israel. It is normal; we have taken their country...we have stolen their country. Why would they accept that?”

6. Calls for continuous conquest and expansion of zionist Jewish supremacy throughout the region.

Ben Gurion: "The present map of Palestine was drawn by the British mandate. The Jewish people have another map which our youth and adults should strive to fulfill — From the Nile to the Euphrates.”

Moshe Dayan 1952: “It lies upon the people’s shoulders to prepare for the war, but it lies upon the Israeli army to carry out the fight with the ultimate object of erecting the Israeli Empire.”

7. Honesty among themselves

Moshe Dayan 1969: “Jewish villages were built in the place of Arab villages. You do not even know the names of these Arab villages, and I don’t blame you because geography books no longer exist, not only do the books not exist, .The Arab villages are not there either. Nahal arose in the place of Mahlul; Kibbutz Gvat in the place of Jibat; Kibbutz Sarid in the place of Huneifis; and Kfar Yehushu’a in the place of Tal al Shuman. There is not one single place that did not have a former Arab population.”

Ben Gurion 1938: "Let us not ignore the truth among ourselves … politically we are the aggressors and they defend themselves… The country is theirs, because they inhabit it, whereas we want to come here and settle down, and in their view we want to take away from them their country. … Behind their terrorism is a movement, which though primitive is not devoid of idealism and self sacrifice.”

there's sooo much more than this, but hopefully this demonstrates my point that zionists have been trying everything for decades to destroy what remains of the native Palestinian population and steal all they possess of land, home and heritage. But our love and attachment to our roots is stubborn. So now they have arrived at a "final solution," unfolding before the world's eyes in the fullness of the horror and moral abyss that is zionism.
