Do nation states committing genocide call it genocide? I real headscratcher for the ages
So ethnic cleansing in the headline is a confirmed journalistic liberty taken?
Thank you.
Israeli officials have told the Biden administration and humanitarian organizations how they plan to start forcibly expelling Gazans from Rafah ahead of a likely ground invasion—a move critics have likened to the ethnic cleansing of Palestine's Arabs during the establishment of the modern state of Israel.
Politicoreported Friday that Israel Defense Forces (IDF) officials informed the U.S. government and aid agencies that a plan is in place to remove Palestinians from Rafah, where approximately 1.2 million refugees forcibly displaced from other parts of Gazaare precariously sheltering alongside around 280,000 local residents in the embattled strip's southernmost city.
According to an unnamed U.S. official and two other people familiar with the plan, Israel would "move people out of Rafah, the main humanitarian hub in the enclave, to al-Mawasi, a small strip of land on the southern Gaza coast." *Politico *also obtained a copy of a map containing some details of the plan.
I'm not debating that Israel has the plan, I'm criticizing the journalistic integrity of the headline.
I don't think for a second you misunderstood that.
WTF is this news source? The fucking white noise with this war is off the charts.
