The Gaza problem is not just our problem. The world should support humanitarian emigration, because that’s the only solution I know.
We will do what is good for the State of Israel: the migration of hundreds of thousands from Gaza will allow the residents of the Gaza Envelope to return home and live in security and protect the IDF soldiers.
Today it is clear to everyone that all Gazans must be destroyed.
We must promote the solution to encourage the migration of Gaza residents. This is a correct, just, moral and humane solution. We have partners around the world that we can help. Encouraging the migration of the residents of Gaza will allow us to bring home the residents of the Outaf and the residents of Gush Katif.
Our problem is [finding] countries that are willing to absorb Gazans, and we are working on it.
If there are 100,000 or 200,000 Arabs in Gaza and not two million, the whole discourse about the day after will be different
It is impossible to win a war against a cruel nation like the Palestinians with humanity. They are all, from the greatest to the smallest, a criminal nation of rapists, child murderers, and kidnappers of the elderly and children. Their fate is one – death.
We were meant to fight this war against Hamas, as is happening now, and luckily for us it came from the heavens
We’re facing monsters, monsters who murdered children in front of their parents ... This is a battle not only of Israel against these barbarians, it’s a battle of civilization against barbarism.
I saw the report [of IDF snipers shooting at a church] this morning. There are no churches in Gaza, so I'm not sure where the report is talking about. Unfortunately there are no Christians because they were driven out by Hamas ... I don't know what happened, I don't know who was attacked, I didn't see the report.
Conquest, expulsion, settlement!
The entire Gaza Strip should be emptied and leveled flat, just like in Auschwitz. Let it become a museum, showcasing the capabilities of the State of Israel and dissuading anyone from living in the Gaza Strip. This is what must be done to give them a visual representation.
So I ask again, what is the meaning 'humanitarian' ceasefire? There's no such a thing. This is a- one big lie! A whitewashing of the truth! A humanitarian ceasefire means a terrorist-saving ceasefire. We're not stupid. This resolution only seeks an end to the war against Hamas nazis. Sorry for the words, you don't give a damn about Israel and our future. An end to the war means turning our backs on the hostages. It means ensuring Hamas's continued rule in Gaza. I don't get it. We're 18 years of oppression in Gaza- by the way against Palestinians digging terror tunnels into our soil- into our territory, and indiscriminate rocket fires, thousands and thousands on Israeli civilians. That wasn't enough for you? All a ceasefire secures is a future for the genocidal jihadists. It is only Hamas that this resolution is defending. Stop hiding your intentions behind your suits and diplomatic wording.
There are so many buildings in Shujaiyyah that are still standing. Shujaiyyah must be razed to the ground.
What I want to urge is against just saying two-state solution. Why? Because there's an emotional chapter here that must be dealt with. My nation is bereaving. My nation is in trauma. The cup of poison that Israelis have seen, seen as being filled. In order to get back to the idea of dividing the land or negotiating peace and talking to the Palestinians, etc., one has to deal first and foremost with the emotional trauma that we're going through and the need and demand for a full sense of security for our people.
There are no uninvolved, neither in Khan Yunis nor in Saja'iya. They are all deserving of death. This must be the working assumption. Bombard without mercy from the air! Ground maneuvers only after flattening buildings. Every Gazan who did not heed the IDF's request to leave is a terrorist assistant. And if [President] Biden or any other kind-hearted person has a problem with this working assumption, he is welcome to enter Gaza himself.
The whole Gaza Strip needs to be empty. Flattened. Just like in Auschwitz. Let it be a museum for all the world to see what Israel can do. Let no one reside in the Gaza Strip for all the world to see, because October 7 was in a way a second Holocaust.
If it were up to me, I would have dispatched D-9 bulldozers and put them behind the mounds of dirt and would have given the order to cover all these hundreds of ants, while they're still alive. [...] They aren't human beings and not human animals. They're subhuman and that's how they should be treated. [...] Eradicate the memory of Amalek, and never forget.
Bombard from the air without mercy!! Enough with having mercy on the cruel at such painful costs. Enough with having mercy on 'uninvolved' Gazans. There are no uninvolved. Every Gazan who remains in a place of combat is an assistant to a terrorist organization. Enough! Change tactics. Destroy every place where there are terrorists and terrorist assistants. From the air!! Do not risk soldiers' lives if it is possible to bombard from the air!
Go fuck yourself, from KAN Digital
Not to write how ugly the architecture in Gaza is and it's good that it was destroyed and it's a shame they don't do the same to Netanya; Not to write how ugly the architecture in Gaza is and it's good that it was destroyed and it's a shame they don't do the same to Netanya; Not to write how ugly the architecture in Gaza is and it's good that it was destroyed and it's a shame they don't do the same to Netanya.
There are no Israeli rape victims providing testimonies from Oct 7 because they were murdered.
There are no innocents in Gaza
... and when the general assembly called for a ceasefire, I declared loud and clear that there will be no ceasefire, never.
There's no such thing as uninvolved (civilians) in Gaza.
The enemy will meet first the bombs of the Air Force, and after that the shells of the tanks and artillery and the scoops of the D9 bulldozers, and finally gunfire of the infantry troops. We will fight the entire strip.
At this very moment, aid trucks continue to enter the Gaza Strip! enough! How long will we bow our heads and endure the shame? That's not how you defeat terrorism. stop everything immediately bring back a total blockade. Return instructions to open fire in the north of the Gaza Strip against all incoming Gazans.
My instructions are clear: There are to be no expressions of joy. Expressions of joy are equivalent to backing terrorism; victory celebrations give backing to those human scum, for those Nazis.
We must destroy Hamas, occupy the entire strip and return it [to Israel].
After we turn Khan Younis into a soccer field […] we need to take advantage of the destruction to tell the countries that each of them should take a quota, it can be 20K or 50K. We need all 2 million to leave. That's the solution for Gaza.
There is no other way than to control the whole of Gaza, Full control that will include full flourishing settlement in all of the strip. Not like the Gush Katif settlements that focused on small areas - but settlements in all of the strip - width and length.
Who's left in Gaza? Are there citizens? There are only tunnels, Hamas, and accursed terrorists who murdered children and are holding children hostage. We have to crush Gaza, Gaza is Hamas.
I said burn Gaza, why should we be ashamed? Are there civilians in Gaza? Suddenly they put fuel in the Gaza Strip, they murdered children, why should we put up with something like this? What's left in Gaza? Tunnels, Hamas, and the damned terrorists who hold children captive.
I want the possibility to behead head after head, head after head of the Nukhba.
Our fighters, who went to war ... for revenge for the terrible massacre carried out by the Nazi terrorists ... will return to peace with the hostages, only after they have cut off the foreskins of all these accursed.
Israel is not fighting a terrorist organization but against the State of Gaza.
We are too humane. Burn Gaza now. No less!
A return to Jewish settlement in the northern Gaza Strip is a correct and logical answer to the murderous terrorist attack by Hamas! The settlement will help restore security, and fix the image of Israeli victory in the eyes of our enemy.
The name Gaza should be erased from streets and institutions.
1. Annexing Area C is necessary, because if not, everything that happened to us in the Gaza envelope will happen to us in Kfar Saba, Herzliya, Ra'anana, and more. It's just a matter of time. 2. Annexing the northern Strip of Gaza is necessary, because if not, the residents of the Gaza envelope are again in existential danger. 3. We lost our reading of the security map since we called settlement 'settlement', since we called the pioneers 'hilltop youth'. It's important to note that the value of land is not only biblical but also grants us geopolitical depth and a grip on the territory which allows us to ensure our right to exist. We must return to the roots; the Maccabees, of blessed memory.
Unfortunately underneath Shifa [hospital] there is a huge, huge terror base. Actually the headquarters, the headquarters, of Hamas-ISIS operations is underneath Shifa!
We are now rolling out the Gaza Nakba ... There is no way to wage a war – as the IDF seeks to do in Gaza – with masses between the tanks and the soldiers ... Gaza Nakba 2023. That’s how it’ll end.
Instead of funneling money to rebuild Gaza or to the failed UNRWA, the international community can assist in the costs of resettlement, helping the people of Gaza build new lives in their new host countries. Gaza has long been thought of as a problem without an answer.
I think the Arabs in Judea and Samaria have no right to ask for rights or take part in elections for the Knesset. They lost their right to vote for the Knesset. They will never get this right.
No electricity, no food, no water, no gas. It's all closed. We are fighting animals and are acting accordingly.
[t]o be clear, when we say that Hamas should be destroyed, it also means those who celebrate, those who support, and those who hand out candy — they’re all terrorists, and they should also be destroyed.
We will hold Gaza after the war too, we will not trust international forces.
The word genocide is being thrown around so much it's losing all meaning -- a lot like antisemitism. This is in itself dangerous.
First of all, the plans for 'the day before' – is to win the war with a total victory, not close, not pretending, a total victory! To imprint the notion of Nakba 2 in their minds. As for the question of 'the day after'? It should look like this: Gaza returns to its state from 56 years ago, where they are small, wounded, battered, busy burying their loved ones, and above all, very frightened!
We can certainly bring back the settlements of Gush Katif [evacuated in 2005], there is no status quo and nothing is sacred.
