(4,585 posts)Dropping leaflets is not safe passage. This is the first time "safe passage" is being offered. So 300,000 people have 4 hours now to drive/walk up to 10 miles on a broken, impassable road. Gas for cars if it were passable? Walking with children and elderly? What happens if they are still on the road? Seems like an unsafe, dangerous undertaking. It's an impossible choice but works to provide cover for Israel.
Now that they've been offered "safe passage" they will be blamed for not taking it and will be considered "enemy combatants". This is how the coming genocide will be explained away.
I didn't see you refuting any of my points though which is natural when you can't refute history. However you can cast doubt on the knowledge and intelligence of the messenger so that's the route you took. Too bad.
Allow me to give you a refresher on Plan Dalet in the context of Nakba. Ethnic cleansing or "transfer" as it was euphemistically called.
"On March 10, 1948, Zionist political and military leaders, including Ben-Gurion, met in Tel Aviv and formally adopted Plan Dalet (or Plan D). The operational military orders specified which Palestinian population centers should be targeted and laid out in detail a blueprint for their forcible depopulation and destruction. It called for:
Mounting operations against enemy population centers located inside or near our defensive system in order to prevent them from being used as bases by an active armed force. These operations can be divided into the following categories:
Destruction of villages (setting fire to, blowing up, and planting mines in the debris), especially those population centers which are difficult to control continuously
Mounting search and control operations according to the following guidelines: encirclement of the village and conducting a search inside it. In the event of resistance, the armed force must be destroyed and the population must be expelled outside the borders of the state.
The Haganah (soon to be Israeli army) launched military operations under Plan Dalet at the beginning of April 1948. Although attacks by Zionist forces against Palestinian population centers actually began a few days after the UN Partition Plan was passed on November 29, 1947, with the adoption of Plan Dalet expulsions accelerated and became systematic, marking a new phase in the conflict in which Zionist and then Israeli forces went on "the offensive," in the words of Israeli historian Benny Morris.
Following Israel's establishment on May 14, 1948, the new Israeli government set up an unofficial body, the "Transfer Committee," to oversee the destruction of Palestinian towns and villages or their repopulation with Jews, and to prevent displaced Palestinians from returning to their homes. In a report presented to Ben-Gurion in June 1948, the three-man committee, which included the JNF's Weitz, called for the "destruction of villages as much as possible during military operations."
