What Does Netanyahu Want to Do in Gaza? What is Israel's Plan for Gaza?

Netanyahu rejects "unilateral recognition" of a Palestinian state. Moreover, he has vowed to maintain full security control over all territories west of Jordan, including the occupied West Bank and Gaza, where the Palestinians seek an independent state.

There are two major Jewish communities in the world, you know.  One is the Sephardic (Sefardi) Jews from the Iberian Peninsula, Spain and Portugal, who scattered or rather fled the world under the wrath of Ferdinand the Catholic and Isabelle the Catholic; and the other is the Ashkenazi Jews of Central and Eastern European origin. I am referring to the Jews who resisted becoming "Conversos" or "Marranos" in order not to convert to Christianity, and who fled leaving all their savings behind. Suffice it to say that the number of "Dönmeler" (converts) called "Marranos" or "Conversos", i.e. those Jews who remained, increased like an avalanche later on. By the way, let me also say that there are thinkers who do not use the word "Conversionist" in the same sense as "Marrano". As it is written in a truck article, "the matter is deep". Sir, although this community that emerged in this way was treated normally and accepted within the Christian community at first, later on, due to their social position and wealth, they caused the reaction of different segments of society. In addition, the perception of "false Christians" gradually took root among Christians. (1) 

Sephardic Jews speak "Ladino Spanish", a mixture of Spanish-Hebrew, while Ashkenazi Jews speak "Yiddish", a mixture of German-Hebrew. "Hebrew", which was an archaic language of worship and writing until the beginning of the last century, has been preserved and carried to the present day. The transformation of Hebrew into a spoken and daily language of communication among Jews owes much to the efforts of a Belarusian-born linguist named Eliezer Ben-Yehuda. Ben-Yehuda began his studies in Jerusalem, where he settled as an Ottoman citizen in 1881, and continued his work intensively until his death in 1922, leaving behind thousands of articles and a huge 17-volume Hebrew dictionary. (1) 

So, dear readers, I am trying to explain the importance of language in order to understand the fundamentalist occupation today. The first condition of occupation is to wait patiently and not to forget your language in any way. Yes, you continue to be a stateless nation, you wait patiently for centuries, but when you find the opportunity? You can quickly invade someone else's land. This is the system. The head of this system is the general of politics and the rabbi of war is the Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, who breaks the codes of politics and war, who smears the pages of peace papers with gunpowder and blood. I am talking about a Netenyahu whose spirit of Zionist leadership has taken hold of him and who insists on surpassing Herzl, the first theoretician of the Zionist project, David Ben-Gurion, the founder of the State of Israel, Izak Rabin, Shimon Peres and General Moshe Dayan, the pillars of the founding period, war and politics. Netanyahu, Israel's first prime minister born in the Land of Israel, is an Ashkenazi Jew, born in Jaffa to an American Jewish mother and a father who immigrated from Poland. Let's not forget that most of Israel's political leaders since its founding have been Ashkenazi Jews of Eastern European origin. (2)

But these two groups of Jews are so distant from each other that you would be surprised. Even more than that, Hasidic Jews, a subset of Ashkenazi Jews, are just as fanatical. The ultra-conservative Hasidic Ashkenazi families do not allow their children to study in the same class with other students who are Sephardic Jews, and the families even object to their daughters sharing classes with the daughters of Sephardic Jewish families. Extremely conservative, extremely angry Hasidic Ashkenazi families have even received prison sentences for refusing to allow their children to study in the same class with other Sephardic Jewish students. In August 2010, the Israeli Supreme Court ruled that Sephardi girls should study with Ashkenazi girls. In response, some Ashkenazi parents withdrew their daughters from school. (4) 

Yes, dear readers, it is these fundamentalist Hasidic Jews that the Gazans are fighting. Their greatest misfortune is that they have the misfortune to be their victims. However, we all know that Islam considers all human beings to have equal rights, upholds the right, rejects exploitation, and does not accept anyone to be a servant or slave to anyone. That is why throughout history, Zionism has always targeted Islam, which upholds the right. Whether you look at the falsified Torah or the Kabbala, you will see that the creed of Zionism is as follows:

First, Beni Israel is the superior race. Secondly, Beni Israel is the master of the world and the others are slaves. The other races were created as monkeys and then turned into human beings. Because other people were created to be servants of Beni Israel. The ultimate goal is to establish Zionism's world domination. In the first step, the exiled Jews will be gathered in Palestine. In the second step, Greater Israel will be established in the promised land between the Euphrates and the Nile. In order to ensure the security of the State of Israel, the administration of 28 countries from Morocco to Indonesia will be retained, divided and dismembered. For the security of Israel, there will be no independent state in Anatolia, the heir of the Seljuks and Ottomans who repelled 19 Crusades. The Temple of Solomon will be rebuilt in place of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and when all this happens, the Messiah will descend to earth and sit on the throne of David as a Jewish King. Already the menorah, the man-sized 7-armed candelabra of solid gold that will be placed in the dome of Solomon's Temple, has been prepared. The columned tombs you see in Jewish tombs are a reflection of this expectation. The Jewish king will consolidate world domination forever. This is the belief of Zionism. This is the religion of Israel. (5) 

Let us now turn to Binyamin Netenyahu's Gaza Plan. As the genocidal war in Gaza enters its fifth month, Netenyahu is busy preparing a horrific final scene for the hell he is inflicting on the Palestinians. Rafah on the Egyptian border. What awaits the 1.5 million people swept into Rafah, 30,000 of them buried, 7,000 of them buried under rubble, 70,000 wounded? They are not waiting for Israel to saturate them with blood in the open or in a flimsy tent, they are waiting for what kind of atrocities will be committed. 

First of all, it is useful to accept the following. First of all, there is no such thing as a fully independent, let alone independent, Palestine, let's say it again, there is no such thing as a Palestinian state. Although Palestine's status is recognized by 138 UN members, it has been a "non-member observer state at the United Nations" since 2012. It used to be an "observer" state with no status whatsoever. These are not well known. In 2012, like the Vatican, it fought for and won the status of "non-member observer state". However, it was also seen that this was of no value. It is not possible to understand whether Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas hopes to become the pope of the Palestinians with this status. This is the reason why President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is crying "state by state" wherever he goes, beating himself up and beating himself up. 

To cut a long story short, first and foremost, the State of Palestine must be declared immediately. This is a largely symbolic and necessary step. But Palestinian leaders argue that it would at least define the territory on which they want to establish a state (which is shrinking with the rapid expansion of Israeli settlements) and would mean official recognition.  Don't die, don't die, don't leave me in the field! But for some reason, the "don't leave me in the field" part was later evolved and dropped from this aphorism. In fact, there is a continuation of it. "Come spring, let the clover grow, let the grass grow, let it be enough for you", and you will understand what I mean. A hopeless wait can only be described so well.  What is the conclusion? If you say, Palestine cannot apply to the Hague Court of Justice on its own because it is not a state. For this reason, this problem of statehood must first be solved. 

Indeed. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has issued an interim injunction. This decision does not mention the Palestinian state. There is only the protection of the civilian population. Namely; "1. To refrain from action 2. To ensure that measures are taken to prevent genocide." It reads. "Israel's killings, attacks and destruction against the residents of Gaza". HAMAS alone is not a party to the case. Neither can Mahmoud Abbas, the leader of Fatah. MAD has issued a statement regarding the request made by the Republic of South Africa on February 12 for urgent additional measures to halt Israel's actions in Rafah. On January 26, the International Court of Justice ruled that Israel must take all measures within its jurisdiction to prevent acts of genocide in Gaza. In its latest statement, the Court emphasized that this ruling also applies to Rafah and that no additional temporary measures are necessary. In its statement, MAD also recalled as a gesture of goodwill the statement of United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres that the latest developments in the Gaza Strip, and in Rafah in particular, "will exponentially increase what is already a humanitarian nightmare and will have regional consequences". 

There is also an American paradox in the region. The US administration, which has not learned the lessons of the war on terror and the defeats in Iraq and Afghanistan, is now promoting a genocide project in Gaza through the Zionist Israeli regime. On the other hand, both Sisi and the deaf Sultan in Egypt know that the US is encouraging and financing a proxy war in Ukraine that has killed and injured hundreds of thousands of people, forced millions to migrate and caused massive destruction across the country. The Roman 'libido dominandi', the lust for power, the desire for power and the tyranny of having control over others, no longer resonates as much as it used to for the US, especially for the Biden administration. So? That is to say: It's past Bor's market, ride your donkey to America, put the Monreo Doctrine in front of you, don't go beyond your borders, you are no longer loved, O America.

Now let's come to Netenyahu's expectations and plan. According to the plan, Israel resists the idea of a Palestinian state at all costs. More precisely, in his list of long-term goals, Netanyahu rejects "unilateral recognition" of a Palestinian state. Moreover, he says he will maintain full security control over all the territories west of the Jordan, including the occupied West Bank and Gaza, where the Palestinians want to establish an independent state. 

Netanyahu's primary goal for Gaza in the medium term is disarmament and de-radicalization. While there is no detailed information on when this intermediate phase will begin or how long it will last, the complete demilitarization of the Gaza Strip, which has been largely destroyed by the Israeli offensive, is an open-ended vision for the reconstruction of the Strip. According to the plan, after the end of the war, Gaza's civilian affairs will be run by local officials with "administrative experience" and "no links to countries or organizations that support terrorism".

Netanyahu also proposes the presence of Israeli forces on the border with Egypt in southern Gaza and cooperation with Egypt and the United States to prevent smuggling attempts, including through the Rafah border crossing. He also calls for the closure of the United Nations (UN) agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, and its replacement by other international aid groups. (6) 

Yes, dear readers, although the two-state solution has long been one of the West's main policies in the region, there has been very little progress on Palestinian statehood since the Oslo Accords were signed in the early 1990s. The cessation of fire, blood and tears requires first and foremost a No-Fly Zone in Gaza and a total ban on military measures in exchange for the release of hostages. In order to ensure peace, tranquility and tranquility, a UN peacekeeping mission should be established and sent to the region. UN-supervised elections should be held in Palestine, direct negotiations should be initiated between the newly formed government and Israel in order to reach a settlement, and an independent Palestinian state should be declared immediately.
