LAND-STEAL: Israeli 'Settlers' Race into Gaza to Erect 'Symbolic' Outposts
Israeli settlers manage to break through Erez Crossing to set up outposts, yet we're told humanitarian trucks are unable to proceed
There is no secret about Israel’s objective in Gaza: Use U.S. bombs to steal more Palestinian land.
Top Israelis called for new Israeli settlements in Gaza because they said without these new outposts, there could be no real security in Israel after the 7 October Hamas attack.
Eager to stake claim to their new-found territory, a group of Israeli settlers “have built a symbolic house on the border with Gaza, as part of a campaign calling for new settlements on Palestinian land and the ethnic cleansing of the territory,” Al Jazeera posted on X.
+972 Magazine posted an image of these land-stealers who “stormed Erez Crossing at the northern tip of Gaza” on Thursday “in the most significant attempt to re-establish Jewish settlements in the Strip since the war began.”
The report went on: “They established an “outpost” in the style seen commonly in the West Bank, building for several hours without the army or police interfering.”
Hundreds of these Israelis made it hundreds of yards into Gaza and some “set up at least two buildings adjacent to the border fence, declaring it the rebirth of a settlement movement ended by Israel in 2005,” The Times of Israel reported.
The New Arab reported: The group carried orange ribbons, a colour associated with Israel’s extreme right-wing "return" movement which aims to reoccupy the illegal Gush Katif settlement in Gaza, which was abandoned during Israel's withdrawal from the Palestinian enclave in 2005.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich called for Palestinians to be removed completely from Gaza.
“We knew what that would bring and we tried to prevent it,” Smotrich has said. “Without settlements, there is no security.”
Ben-Gvir said there is no way to win the war “without the rebuild[ing] of Gush Katif and the Gaza Strip. It should be flourished with Jewish villages and Jewish cities.”
TRENDPOST: Ben-Gvir represents the extremists who gave Netanyahu a government and without the far-right’s support, Netanyahu would crumble.
