This is genocidal language. It reflects the eliminatory and genocidal attitudes of the right-wing of Israeli society. It's also related to their support of and belief in Biblical stories of genocide.
According to a poll, nearly half (47%) of Jewish Israelis agree with the statement that the IDF "when conquering an enemy city, should act in a manner similar to the way the Israelites acted when they conquered Jericho....namely, to kill all its inhabitants?
In the same poll, 82% backed the transfer (expulsion) of Palestinians from Gaza to other countries.
We must come to grips with the fact that Israel has itself been conquered by religious zealots and right-wing nutcases and that it is clearly a rogue state bent on completing a GENOCIDE. There should be NO ARGUMENT now about that.
Or perhaps this is what Israel was bound to become, once given a free hand to do what it has always wanted to do - eliminate Palestinians from what it sees as its holy land - and no one else's - The Land of Israel. If only we could have known! If only Israel had given us a clue in the last 77 years!
"Judea and Samaria will not be handed to any foreign administration; between the Sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty."

The US has officially put its stamp of approval on this brazen, illegal land theft
During tour of ancient site of Shiloh, envoy praises Jewish settlers, invokes biblical claims to the land and says those who oppose them 'do not stand with God,' marking a sharp departure from previous American diplomatic protocol
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee on Wednesday became the first sitting American envoy to make an official visit to an Israeli settlement in the West Bank, holding a formal meeting with leaders of the Yesha Council, the umbrella group representing Jewish communities in the territory.

“For the first time, at the invitation of the Yesha Council, US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee made an official visit to the Ancient Shiloh site in Binyamin,” the U.S. Embassy said in a statement. “The Ambassador met with heads of the regional councils as the guest of Yisrael Ganz … and was welcomed at a festive event.”
During the tour, Huckabee expressed strong support for Israel and for the Jewish presence in the area, using the biblical term “Judea and Samaria” to refer to the West Bank.
“I’ve never used any term other than Judea and Samaria,” he said. “It would be a historical injustice and a denial of the Bible to use anything else. President Trump loves this land. You have sacrificed greatly to live here—you’ve paid in blood, sweat and tears. This place is a miracle. Only God’s existence can explain your presence here.”
