I. Against the Palestinian people/ endorsing genocide and forceful transfer of Palestinians within the Gaza Strip

 

Yisrael Katz, Defense Minister, Likud Party

“In response to various publications - my position on Gaza is clear. After we defeat Hamas' military and governmental power in Gaza, Israel will have security control over Gaza with complete freedom of action, just as it did in Judea and Samaria.[1]. We will not allow any terror to be organised against Israeli communities and Israeli citizens from Gaza. We will not allow a return to reality before October 7.”

“From the territories where terrorists came out to kill, new Jewish communities will flourish. Today, we participated in a field tour of the Gaza border, together with lobby members for the renewal of settlements in the Gaza Strip, led by MK Tzvi Succot and me, and with the Nahala movement. The tour included a comprehensive review of Givat Kobi in Sderot, a visit to the entrance to the Netzarim axis, and an in-depth discussion with the families of the settlement cores.

The vision is clear: Settlement in the Gaza Strip is the Zionist security and moral response to our enemies[2]. Along with the return of the abductees, this is the only consolation we can have as a people. From the points they set out to harm us, we will establish settlements to strengthen security and bring justice to the people of Israel. (…) The people of Israel will not surrender to threats, nor will they be content with survival. We are here to win. Together, we will return Jewish settlement to the Gaza Strip and ensure a better future for the State of Israel.”

“I toured near the Netzarim axis together with the lobby for the return of settlements in the Gaza Strip, led by MK Limor Sonhrmelh and Tzvi Succot, and with the Nahala movement - I saw with my own eyes the excellent work that IDF[3] did and continues to do in Gaza. Leaving the Netzarim axis would jeopardise the security of the State of Israel and give Hamas an appearance of victory. The hostages should be returned by stopping gas supplies. Humanitarian aid must be in return for the other side’s humanitarian attitude. Encouraging voluntary immigration [of Palestinians] and resumption of settlement enterprise are right and moral steps. They are logical and necessary steps we must take.”

“Returning the kidnapped, settling and encouraging voluntary immigration equal victory and security. If you want it, it is not a legend (a phrase taken from the Jewish Torah.) A video is attached to the post, showing her and Ben Gvir talking:

Ben Gvir: "Today, we arrived near the Netzarim axis; we are looking at it together with MK Limor Sonhrmelh. We came to say more simply and more clearly that it is forbidden to pose a danger to the security of the residents of Israel; it is forbidden to leave the Netzarim axis! This statement is obvious. To return the hostages, the humanitarian fuel must be stopped only in exchange for humanitarian aid. There will be more land and more land to occupy. We say very clearly that we should encourage voluntary migration (of the Palestinians.)

Limor: "I think we must be guided by the line, which says, if you want it, it’s not a legend. The State of Israel has proven that such tasks become too small for us if it wants something to be done. All we need to do is to encourage settlements, security, and this migration. Only when we are truly willing can this thing happen very easily. Israel is capable of more complex things, and also this thing .”

“Of course, it is mandatory. Of course, it is realistic. Herzl once said, ‘If you want, this is not a legend.’ The establishment of the State of Israel was much more fantastic than the establishment of a Jewish settlement again in Gaza. With God's help, we will establish settlements here. We will pass on a message to all our lovers: Whoever attacks us is a loser, a big loser. Is it only in the northern Gaza Strip or the entire Gaza Strip? We do not currently have actual plans, but wherever we can build, we will build. We must take from them as many as possible."

As early as January 2024, I appealed to the Knesset Presidency, together with the B’tsalmo organisation, demanding an urgent discussion on the issue, and I made it clear that the existing policy harms Israeli deterrence and encourages terrorism.

“Today's High Court decision was supposed to be trivial. The State of Israel must ensure that the Nuchba[8] terrorists receive the bare minimum that will keep them alive until they are brought to justice and sentenced to the death they deserve—only the bare minimum and not an ounce more. If we fell short of this standard, it would suit the court to monitor it.

The problem is that no one in the country can guarantee that the court will be content with maintaining this minimum and will not make absurd demands about living space, vegetables and fruits in five colours, or ensuring an adequate amount of time for the terrorists' hobbies. At the same time, we have hostages languishing in Hamas tunnels. This is the problem in the Israeli legal system. The enormous disconnect between the High Court's ivory tower and the healthy and logical feelings of the people of Israel is the real root cause of the glaring lack of trust in the judicial system. Therefore, a probation order that was supposed to be trivial becomes an event that puts everyone under stress. Together, we must fix this.”

For many years, agriculture in Judea and Samaria was treated as ‘second-rate,’ and farmers in the region suffered from ongoing discrimination. The government we lead is correcting a historical injustice and strengthening agriculture as part of a broad Zionist vision. Our policy is aimed at preserving national land reserves, creating security and strategic territorial continuity, and curbing Palestinian efforts to expand their illegal control over lands in the region. I am proud to lead a reformed policy that supports farmers and ranchers in Judea and Samaria and ensures the strength of the State of Israel on all fronts.”

“Since its establishment, this Knesset has understood the harm and folly of withdrawing from the territories of our country. The October 7 massacre sharpened the danger for all of us within the framework of the enemy homeland in the territories. The Knesset has since passed a resolution by a large majority stating the obvious: the establishment of a Palestinian state between the Mediterranean and the Jordan River would constitute far beyond a security and existential threat. Today, at the initiative of the Land of Israel Lobby, together with my colleagues in the leadership of the lobby, MK Yuli Edelstein and MK Limor Sonhrmelh, we seek to determine that handing over territory to a foreign political entity such as the Palestinian Authority will require a majority of 80 Knesset members. We hope this law will never be used because no government will be established in the State of Israel that would have the imagination to promote such an irresponsible step."

“The student law discussed today in the education committee seeks to stop the prevalent phenomenon in universities and institutions of higher education, in which student cells that support terrorism are established and operate freely. In addition, we request to legislate that a student convicted of terrorism will not be able to return to the study desk as if nothing had ever happened. This is a law that should be self-evident. Academic freedom is important, but there is nothing between it and terrorist-supporting student cells that directly threaten the faculty and students. In addition, higher education institutions have disciplinary regulations that prevent the return of students for disciplinary offences. A terror conviction is a thousand times more serious. This is why we asked to amend the law there as well.  I have no expectations from the Arab parties. They are supporters of terrorism.” (…)

V. Additional Examples

 

Bezalel Smotrich, Finance Minister, Chairman of Religious Zionism Party

“With more than 23,000 dunams of land benefitting the settlement in Judea and Samaria, we determine facts on the ground and thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state!”

Video text: "Under the table, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich confiscated thousands of dunams of land for settlement in Judea and Samaria. In the Centre, the expansion of existing settlements is evident alongside the establishment of new ones. Our correspondent Eli Aviv brings us the story with the first publication (…)

0:40: Smotrich: We are establishing facts on the ground.

Reporter: Ma'ale Adumim[11] will be the first city to benefit from this dramatic announcement. It will expand by 2,600 dunams towards the south by creating a settlement sequence connecting it with the settlement of Kedar.

Smotrich: We are here to survive. We build. We organise. And we establish settlements. We create reserve land; we pave roads.

Reporter: The talk is about a road called Area G, one of the most densely populated areas in the settlement, because it cuts off the chain of illegal Palestinian Bedouin construction in the area. T

Guy Yifrah, head of Maaleh Adumim Council: This is an opportunity to thank my friend, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, and the Civil Administration, who worked hard and declared Area G, the area between Ma'ale Adumim and Kedar, state land.

Meir Deutsch: This is a strategic and essential event for the State of Israel for a simple reason: it is the first time that the State of Israel has said, ‘This area here is ours.’

Reporter: In the settlement of Migdal Oz in Gush Etzion[12], this is not just a declaration but an actual doubling of the settlement area by adding 281 dunams, on which about 500 housing units can be built in a relatively short period. Not far from here, the settlement of Susya[13] was expanded to 109 dunams, where they will build an educational compound and industrial complex.

Yisrael Gantz, head of Benyamin Regional Council: Strengthening settlements in Judea and Samaria is critical, as procedures have been taken to turn tens of thousands of dunams that until now have not been considered state land into an integral part of the territory of the State of Israel.

Reporter: The last areas that will be declared state land are located in the area of ​​the settlement of Yafit in the Jordan Valley and will include an additional area of ​​more than 20,000 dunams, an expansion that constitutes a unique opportunity for developing settlement in the Centre of the Jordan Valley. Since the Oslo Accords, until December a year ago, about 50,000 dunams were declared state land. Hence, the scope of the new declaration at this moment amounts to half of the lands declared so far; before the official declaration, the Palestinians and left-wing organisations tried to undermine this move by explaining that this would thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state.

Smotrich: We have completely changed direction in response to the enemy's attempts from the roadmap to establishing facts on the ground. We are preparing the infrastructure for fully normalising settlement in Judea and Samaria. God forbid an Arab terror state[14] is established that threatens the establishment of the State of Israel.”

Well, some people have raised this defamation against Israel and the IDF since the beginning of the war and before. I think the first people who claimed that Israel was committing genocide in Gaza said it on October 8. All these accusations hit the heart and roots of Israel. They aim to delegitimise the state we live in. They claim that this state is carrying out genocide. Yet, it is not doing that. They claim this state is carrying out ethnic cleansing while it is doing the opposite. They argue that it is an apartheid state, and it is the opposite. Still, these accusations must be uprooted.
