Israel: Gaza Conflict Ends 'When Our Goals Are Realized'

48. "Genocide" may be to harsh a word, but it is clear Israel wants these people gone..

Thus the position that these "Arabs" should be resettled in other Arab Countries, instead of the country they came from. The general international rule as to refugees, is they are to return to the country they came from when it is safe to do so. Furthermore it is the responsibility of that country to move them back and to care for such refugees till they can move back.

Israel has refused to accept either rule, they dare NOT say that publicly for that would be in violation of the UN Charter, but the US has supported Israel in they refusal to take these refugees back.

Now, the Refugees have constantly said they want to return to Palestine. Israel says it is NOT Palestine, but Israel is the legally accepted successor to Palestine and as such where these refugees should be returned to. Israel is also the ONLY Country these refugees can be sent back to. Thus unless Israel accepts them back they will die in these refugee camps. That appears to be want Israel prefers rather then the have them back. In cases where Israel has been in a position to have others kill off such refugees, that has occurred (remember Lebanon in the early 1980s?). Israel wants these refugees gone, but also does NOT want to get the blame for killing them. Thus they are left to fester and Israel slowly builds a case to destroy these camps. To many eyes are on Israel right now for Israel to do anything drastic, but the same could be said of Hitler in 1939. The Holocaust only started in 1942, after the US entered the war against Germany and with that declaration of war, Hitler no longer had any reason NOT to kill off the Jews. The same fore Israel, if the situation arrives where no one would punish Israel for destroying those camps, Israel will. Right now such a situation is not occurring, but Israel, like Nazi Germany in the 1930s, is building up an internal case for such a mass killing. Thus it is only international pressure that prevents a Palestinian holocausts. Whenever that pressure can no longer be applied, then this may get a mass killing, but not before. On the other hand if the US gets to involved in something else, then all bets are off.
