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!
