        At least they put it in scare quotes and the very first paragraph points out it is a euphemism for ethnic cleansing. In this particular instance it's more on the zionists for adopting the term than this media outlet for not criticizing it and calling it like it is. If this were e.g. the U.S. mainstream media, they'd almost certainly be tripping over themselves to be complicit with, or even double down on, the apologetic propaganda.

    This is literally a reheated version of the Nazis' Madagascar plan.

      Which is ironic, because that plan was barely considered and the high command essentially laughed at it before unanimously deciding to simply exterminate the “subhumans”.

      I wonder if Israel will follow their logic.

    If you're going use language like this, why bother? We all know what it means.

      It gives the zionist libs plausible deniability, they get to pretend that this is a "humane" ethnic cleansing. It's to soothe their own supporters, not to convince people to their side.

        If you meant Israeli libs, they're most likely in the same camp of seeing all Gazans as Hamas, if you meant nonIsraeli Zionist libs, yeah that would track. There were some leftist Israelis on one of Hasan's videos talking about Israeli libs turning bloodthirsty after October 7th. The line between conservatives and libs is a lot harder to find in Israel.

          I was thinking more western or anglo zionist libs specifically. I do feel like the Israeli libs are just all in on this being an "us or them" genocide that this point.

          The only difference between a conservative and a lib is just how much they personally feel they've been scratched at this point, so they're only a few minor inconveniences away from each other really.

    Richard Spencer must have snapped his fingers and said, ‘Damn! Why didn’t I think of that? That sounds so much better than my ‘peaceful ethnic cleansing’!’
