Transcript

0:00

the world is seeing a textbook case of

0:03

ethnic cleansing happening right before

0:06

our eyes top Israeli government

0:09

officials have publicly admitted that

0:12

their goal is to ethnically cleanse the

0:15

Palestinian indigenous population of

0:17

Gaza that is more than 2 million people

0:21

and an Israeli government Minister said

0:24

that they are carrying out a new NECA

0:27

this is a reference to the ethnic

0:29

cleansing of Palestinians in 1948 that

0:32

led to the creation of the state of

0:34

Israel it is not just one Israeli

0:37

official who has admitted this there is

0:40

a mountain of evidence that continues to

0:42

grow and today I'm going to look at the

0:44

evidence showing how the United States

0:47

government is supporting ethnic

0:49

cleansing right now Israel is carrying

0:52

out ethnic cleansing in Gaza and it has

0:55

the full support of the US government

0:58

and meanwhile the US government is

1:00

holding the United Nations hostage and

1:03

preventing any action to stop this

1:06

ethnic cleansing from happening I want

1:08

to begin this analysis today looking at

1:10

the latest death toll as of the 13th of

1:14

November Israel has killed more than

1:17

11,000 Palestinians in Gaza that is one

1:21

out of every 200 people as the

1:24

Washington Post reported and what the

1:27

Washington Post points out that among

1:28

those killed by Israel are doctors

1:31

journalists professors and Poets roughly

1:34

2third of the Palestinians killed by

1:37

Israel have been women and children

1:40

including more than

1:42

4,500 children and more than

1:45

3,20 women according to the World Health

1:48

Organization that means that Israel

1:50

kills a child in Gaza every 10 minutes

1:55

and now some Israeli officials are

1:57

becoming more honest about what their

1:59

real intentions are and it is ethnic

2:02

cleansing this was acknowledged by a

2:05

minister in the Israeli government Aid

2:08

dictor who said that their goal is a new

2:11

NECA I'm reading from the top Israeli

2:14

newspaper harit he said quote we are now

2:18

rolling out the Gaza neba and he said

2:22

Gaza neba

2:24

2023 that's how it'll end and once again

2:28

this is the minist

2:30

Avi dictor he is the Minister of

2:32

Agriculture he's also a member of the

2:35

security cabinet and he is an ally of

2:39

prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu from

2:42

the same far-right lud party now when he

2:45

says that Israel wants a new NECA for

2:48

2023 what does that mean well if you go

2:51

to the United Nations website they have

2:53

a brief summary that explains that this

2:56

was again a textbook case of ethnic

2:59

cleansing

3:00

NECA means catastrophe in Arabic and it

3:03

refers to the mass displacement and

3:05

dispossession of Palestinians in

3:08

1948 and the UN notes that Palestine was

3:12

a multiethnic and Multicultural Society

3:15

and militias as part of the Zionist

3:18

movement that sought to create a Jewish

3:20

state in Palestine with the support of

3:22

the western Colonial Powers originally

3:25

with the support of the British Empire

3:27

going back to the Bal declaration and

3:29

then the other Western Colonial Powers

3:32

these Zionist militias carried out a

3:35

terror campaign and they ethnically

3:37

cleansed hundreds of thousands of

3:39

indigenous Palestinians and created the

3:42

state of Israel in 1948 and the United

3:45

Nations notes on its website here that

3:48

quote as early as December 1948 that is

3:52

a few months after Israel was created

3:55

the UN General Assembly called for

3:57

Refugee return property res tion and

4:01

compensation however 75 years later

4:04

despite countless un resolutions the

4:08

rights of the Palestinians continue to

4:10

be denied there are more than 5 million

4:14

Palestine refugees that are registered

4:16

with the UN specifically with the UN

4:18

relief and works agency known as unra

4:22

and Palestinians continue to be

4:24

dispossessed and displaced by Israeli

4:27

settlements evictions land confiscation

4:30

and home demolitions and the UN notes

4:33

that the the NECA anniversary is a

4:35

reminder not only of those tragic events

4:38

of 1948 but of the ongoing Injustice

4:42

suffered by the Palestinians and now we

4:45

have top Israeli officials admitting

4:47

they want to carry out another NECA now

4:50

I mentioned that it was not just one

4:52

Israeli Minister who has acknowledged

4:55

this is Israel's goal in fact the

4:57

Israeli media Outlet 997 2 obtained a

5:01

Smoking Gun this is a document from an

5:04

Israeli government Ministry and they

5:07

published this in an article titled

5:09

expel all Palestinians from Gaza

5:12

recommends Israeli government Ministry

5:15

and this article was published in

5:17

collaboration with a local Israeli media

5:19

outlet and they got access to an Israeli

5:23

Ministry of intelligence document that

5:25

recommends the forcible and permanent

5:27

transfer of the Gaza strips 2.2 million

5:31

Palestinian residents to Egypt's Sinai

5:34

Peninsula and it recommends a full

5:37

population transfer as Israel's

5:40

preferred course of action again this is

5:42

textbook ethnic cleansing 972 published

5:46

an English language translation of this

5:48

original Hebrew language document from

5:51

the Israeli intelligence Ministry this

5:53

memo was dated on the 13th of October

5:57

and if you go in the document you you

5:59

can see that the Israeli intelligence

6:01

Ministry recommended three options for

6:04

Gaza and one of them option A was the

6:08

population remaining in Gaza and the

6:10

import of Palestinian Authority rule the

6:14

PA already rules the illegally occupied

6:17

West Bank that is ostensibly Palestinian

6:19

territory that is has been illegally

6:22

occupied by Israel since

6:24

1967 option b was the population

6:27

remaining in Gaza along with the

6:29

emergence of a local Arab Authority and

6:32

option C which is recommended by the

6:34

Israeli intelligence Ministry is the

6:37

quote evacuation of the civilian

6:39

population from Gaza to Sinai so ethnic

6:42

cleansing now the intelligence Ministry

6:44

wrote that option C is the option that

6:48

will yield positive long-term strategic

6:51

outcomes from Israel and they said that

6:53

options A and B suffer from significant

6:56

deficiencies so they do not support the

6:59

creation of a new government in Gaza

7:02

they're they're recommending the Israeli

7:04

intelligence Ministry is recommending

7:05

ethnic cleansing and they know that

7:07

option A that is making a government in

7:10

Gaza that is ruled by the Palestinian

7:13

Authority they say that's the option

7:14

with the most risks because quote the

7:17

division between the Palestinian

7:19

population in Judea and Samaria West

7:22

Bank and scare quote so that that's this

7:24

is the settler colonialist term that

7:27

Israeli colonialists use to refer to the

7:29

West Bank which is Palestinian territory

7:32

that Israel occupies and prime minister

7:34

Netanyahu has promised for many years

7:36

that he's going to Annex this completely

7:38

so this is completely colonialist but

7:40

anyway the ministry of intelligence

7:42

wrote that the division between the West

7:44

Bank and Gaza quote is one of the

7:47

central obstacles preventing the

7:49

establishment of a Palestinian state so

7:51

of course Israel never wants a

7:53

Palestinian state to exist and never

7:55

will in a million years allow it because

7:58

it will prevent their Colonial control

8:00

over the region so that's why they

8:02

oppose the other options and that's why

8:04

the Israeli intelligence Ministry is

8:06

calling for ethnic cleansing and if you

8:09

go down in the document the Israeli

8:11

intelligence Ministry said that their

8:13

first stage is to create 10 cities in

8:17

Sin this is the desert of Egypt and then

8:20

they will create a so-called sterile

8:22

zone of s several kilometers inside

8:26

Egypt and they say quote The Return of

8:28

the ation to activities or residences

8:31

near the border with Israel should not

8:34

be allowed so this is permanent it's

8:37

permanent displacement of Palestinians

8:40

permanent ethnic cleansing and the

8:42

Israeli intelligence Ministry admits in

8:44

this document that this ethnic cleansing

8:47

quote may present challenges in terms of

8:51

international legitimacy that's their

8:53

polite way euphemistic way of saying

8:55

this is completely illegal it is a crime

8:58

against humanity ironically they also

9:00

acknowledge in the document that quote

9:03

Israel will not have the ability to

9:05

control the plan since it will be

9:07

implemented outside its territory

9:10

obviously so not only is Israel carrying

9:13

out crimes against humanity and ethnic

9:15

cleansing but it's violating the

9:17

sovereignty not only of the Palestinian

9:18

people but of Egypt and Israel with us

9:22

support is telling a sovereign country

9:25

in North Africa that it has to give over

9:29

its territory colonize its territory on

9:32

behalf of Israel for pal indigenous

9:34

Palestinians because Israel is

9:36

ethnically cleansing them from their own

9:39

homeland in Palestine where they have a

9:41

legal right under international law to

9:43

live and this ethnic cleansing is not

9:46

just a hypothetical that could

9:47

potentially happen it is happening right

9:49

now as we speak in fact Israel's Channel

9:53

12 News reported that Israel's cabinet

9:57

has Intelligence that one 1.7 million

10:01

Gins out of the total population of 2.2

10:04

million have already been forced out of

10:07

their homes their homes have been

10:09

damaged or destroyed so that's to say

10:11

that

10:13

77% of the Palestinian population of

10:15

Gaza more than 3ars of gazans have

10:18

already been displaced as part of this

10:21

ethnic cleansing process because Israel

10:24

is destroying everyone's house many

10:27

other Israeli officials have

10:29

acknowledged that this is the plan the

10:31

former director of Israel's Ministry of

10:34

intelligence services and the ministry

10:36

of strategic Affairs who was the deputy

10:38

director of mosad which is the Israeli

10:40

CIA Ram Ben Barak he said in an

10:44

interview on Israel's Channel 12 that

10:46

the more than 2 million Palestinians in

10:49

Gaza should be distributed all around

10:51

the world he said 100 countries should

10:54

each take 25,000 Palestinians and he

10:57

said that it's better to be a refugee in

11:01

Canada than in Gaza so this is a blatant

11:04

call once again for ethnically cleansing

11:08

Palestinians furthermore an Israeli

11:10

Think Tank closely tied to prime

11:12

minister Netanyahu also published a

11:15

blueprint calling for the complete

11:18

ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from

11:20

Gaza we have also seen explicitly

11:22

genocidal rhetoric from top Israeli

11:25

officials netanyahu's national security

11:27

minister it's Tamar Ben gavier who is a

11:30

far-right extremist he said in a live

11:34

interview on an Israeli media outlet

11:36

that everyone in Gaza who supports Hamas

11:40

is a terrorist he said quote to be clear

11:43

when we say that Hamas should be

11:44

destroyed it also means those who

11:46

celebrate those who support and those

11:49

who hand out candy they're all

11:51

terrorists they should all be destroyed

11:53

so he's referring to essentially the

11:55

entire population of Gaza this was also

11:59

the rhetoric of Israel's president isach

12:02

Herzog who gave a speech in which he

12:04

said that there are no civilians in Gaza

12:07

he said quote it is an entire nation out

12:09

there that is responsible it is not true

12:12

this rhetoric about civilians not being

12:14

aware not involves it is absolutely not

12:16

true once again this is a textbook

12:18

example of an incitement to genocide

12:20

genocidal rhetoric of Israel's president

12:24

saying that the entire population of

12:26

Gaza is a target for this massacre and

12:30

Israeli officials are not only

12:32

threatening the civilian population of

12:34

Gaza but also Lebanon which was

12:37

militarily occupied by Israel for many

12:40

years and Israel's defense minister yav

12:44

Galant he said that Lebanese citizens

12:47

Lebanese civilians quote all of the

12:50

citizens of Lebanon will quote pay the

12:54

price if there is a wider Regional war

12:57

and then he added quote what we do in

12:59

Gaza we know how to do in Beirut so this

13:03

is a clear ad admission by Israel's

13:05

defense minister that not only is the

13:08

Israeli apartheid regime massacring

13:10

civilians in Gaza but it's more than

13:12

willing to Massacre civilians in Lebanon

13:15

as well the Israeli journalist David

13:17

Sheen also published a video of an

13:20

Israeli military officer giving a speech

13:23

in which he says this is the happiest

13:25

month of my life and of course this is

13:28

at a time when more than 11,000

13:30

Palestinians have been killed including

13:31

more than 4,500 children so this is the

13:34

kind of sadistic rhetoric from Israeli

13:37

military officers and in this speech the

13:41

Israeli military officer said quote the

13:43

land is ours the whole country all of it

13:46

including Gaza including Lebanon the

13:50

whole Promised Land we're we're going to

13:53

come back big time so Israeli military

13:56

officers are not only talking about

13:58

ethnically cleansing and colonizing

14:00

Palestinian land but also colonizing

14:04

Lebanon this is why legal experts around

14:07

the world are warning that Israel is

14:09

committing genocide and in fact the

14:12

center for constitutional rights in the

14:14

United States has announced that

14:17

Palestinians are suing the US president

14:20

secretary of state Anthony blinkin and

14:23

the defense secretary Lloyd Austin for

14:26

their support for Israel's genocide

14:29

the legal experts at the center for

14:31

constitutional rights said that the

14:33

Israeli government is committing

14:35

genocide against the Palestinian people

14:37

in Gaza with unconditional us support

14:39

and they noted that this is clearly

14:41

defined by the international genocide

14:43

Convention of

14:45

1948 numerous Israeli government leaders

14:47

have expressed clear genocidal

14:49

intentions and deployed dehumanizing

14:52

characterizations of Palestinians as

14:55

human animals and the center for

14:57

constitutional rights noted quote the

15:00

United States is failing to uphold its

15:02

legal obligation to prevent genocide and

15:06

President Biden and other highlevel

15:08

officials are actively aiding and

15:10

abetting the Israeli government's

15:12

genocide of the Palestinian people

15:15

furthermore the government of Algeria

15:17

has announced that it is working on a

15:20

formal legal complaint against Israel in

15:23

the international criminal court and

15:26

Colombia's president Gustavo Petro has

15:28

announced publicly that the Colombian

15:30

government is joining the Algerian

15:33

government in filing this formal

15:35

complaint legal complaint with the

15:38

international criminal court accusing

15:40

Israel and specifically prime minister

15:42

Netanyahu of war crimes against

15:45

Palestinian civilians and in particular

15:48

children now the international criminal

15:50

court is extremely biased in the

15:52

interest of Western governments as of

15:55

2016 only Africans had been been tried

15:59

at the court for the worst crimes on

16:01

Earth it's essentially the international

16:03

Colonial Court I explained in a previous

16:06

article and video which I will link to

16:08

in the description below how the current

16:11

ICC prosecutor Kareem Khan is extremely

16:14

biased he himself is a British national

16:17

and in fact the Israeli media reported

16:19

that Israel and its allies of course the

16:22

US they behind the scenes were lobbying

16:25

to appoint him to elect him as the new

16:28

Chief prosecutor of the ICC because they

16:30

knew that he would not investigate

16:33

Israel's war crimes and crimes against

16:35

humanity and by the way the current

16:37

British ICC Chief prosecutor Kareem Khan

16:40

he also dropped the US Military and the

16:43

CIA from the investigation into war

16:46

crimes committed in Afghanistan so he

16:48

has shown himself to be a complete

16:50

puppet of the West and the ICC like

16:54

these other institutions like the United

16:55

Nations is being held hostage by the the

16:58

United States despite the fact that the

17:00

US and Israel are not part of the

17:03

international criminal court they are

17:05

not State parties to the Rome statute

17:08

which established the IC so this is the

17:11

example of this Western hypocrisy where

17:13

the US supports the IC when it is used

17:16

as a political weapon against

17:17

Washington's adversaries like Russia for

17:20

instance and yet the US is not a member

17:22

of the ICC and Israel is not a member of

17:24

the ICC and they prevent the ICC from

17:27

taking action against the US for its war

17:30

crimes and Afghanistan or against Israel

17:33

for its crimes against humanity against

17:35

the Palestinian people and we can see an

17:37

example of this cowardice in

17:39

international organizations like the

17:41

United Nations because for instance on

17:44

the 13th of November the Secretary

17:46

General of the UN Antonio gutterz he

17:49

said that that Israel has killed more

17:53

than 100 un staff this is the most UN

17:57

staff killed in any conflict and yet he

18:01

was s such a coward that he refused to

18:03

say the word Israel because the United

18:06

Nations is completely held hostage by

18:08

the United States every time there's a

18:11

vote in the UN Security Council the US

18:13

uses its veto power being a permanent

18:16

member in order to prevent any

18:18

resolution that would take action

18:20

against Israel for its war crimes and

18:23

the UN headquarters is physically

18:25

located in New York the US provides

18:28

significant funding to the United

18:30

Nations and top un officials are very

18:33

disproportionately from Western

18:35

countries from North America and Europe

18:38

This is an institution that is

18:40

completely Colonial and held hostage by

18:43

the US which is why not only is there no

18:45

punishment while Israel is committing

18:47

genocide and ethnic cleansing but top un

18:50

officials like Antonio gutterz are too

18:52

afraid to even mention that Israel is

18:55

killing their staff members meanwhile

18:58

the World Health Organization is

19:00

reporting that Israel is attacking

19:02

hospitals in Gaza including ashifa

19:05

Hospital the largest most important

19:07

hospital and they reported that some

19:10

Palestinians civilians who are fleeing

19:12

from the hospital have been shot wounded

19:15

and killed and yet once again they are

19:18

too afraid to mention Israel they don't

19:21

mention the word Israel as Israel is

19:24

killing civilians is killing nurses and

19:27

doctors and patients what this all shows

19:31

is that the international political and

19:33

humanitarian institutions that exist are

19:35

completely Colonial they are controlled

19:37

by the United States and the US uses

19:40

them to hold the world Hostage to

19:43

advance its geopolitical and economic

19:44

interests and to Shield us allies and

19:48

extensions of the US Empire like Israel

19:51

from any consequences there are zero

19:53

consequences for Israel as top Israeli

19:57

officials are admitting they are

19:58

carrying out ethnic cleansing they're

20:00

referring to it as a new NECA they are

20:03

doing it and the entire world can see we

20:05

have advanced technology this is not

20:07

1948 people cannot pretend like they

20:09

don't know what's happening in 1948 we

20:12

didn't all have camera phones but today

20:14

Palestinians do and they are live

20:16

streaming the genocide that Israel is

20:19

carrying out against them with the full

20:21

support of the US Empire there is

20:24

absolutely no excuse you cannot pretend

20:27

that you are ignorant about what is

20:29

happening and if you're watching this

20:31

you're probably in a western country you

20:34

probably speak English you're maybe in

20:36

the US Canada maybe Europe or many other

20:39

countries and it's likely that your

20:41

government is supporting this genocide

20:43

and ethnic cleansing that's why there

20:46

have been so many huge protests across

20:49

the world huge protests with more than

20:51

300,000 people marching in Washington DC

20:54

also hundreds of thousands marching in

20:57

London to Pro protest their government

20:59

support for this colonial genocide and

21:02

it goes to show that in the 19th century

21:05

the Western Powers were blatant about

21:07

their colonial intentions and their

21:09

genocidal crimes they didn't even

21:11

pretend that they were supporting human

21:13

rights and democracy and today those

21:15

same Western governments are just as

21:17

complicit in genocidal crimes against

21:20

humanity and yet now they claim to be

21:22

supporting democracy and human rights I

21:24

mean this is the Deep hypocrisy of these

21:28

Western Colonial powers and it is so

21:31

blatant for the entire world to see it

21:33

cannot be denied and the vast majority

21:36

of the world population living in

21:38

countries in the global South they are

21:40

not tolerating this as I have shown in

21:42

my other reports I will link in the

21:44

description below to my report on Latin

21:47

American nations many governments in

21:49

Latin America are cutting ties with the

21:52

Israeli aparts side regime formally

21:54

accusing Israel of genocide and speaking

21:57

out publicly trying to take action to

22:00

support Palestinian human rights and yet

22:02

once again these International

22:04

institutions like the UN are being held

22:05

hostage by the US which is what's

22:07

preventing them from actually defending

22:10

Palestinian human rights well on that

22:13

note I'm going to conclude here it's a

22:14

very sad note but it's also the

22:16

realistic one I'm not going to sugarcoat

22:18

what's happening this is very clear and

22:21

in history it will be very clear which

22:25

side people were on which side countries

22:27

were in support of genocide or against

22:30

genocide for ethnic cleansing or against

22:32

ethnic cleansing in the new necka of

22:35

20123 like the NECA of

22:38

1948 on that note I'm going to conclude

22:41

I am Ben Norton this is geopolitical

22:43

economy report I want to thank everyone

22:45

for joining me today it's very horrific

22:48

news but I think it's important to to to

22:51

cover truthfully without whitewashing it

22:54

and I will be back very soon for more

22:56

reporting see you next time time
