A famous television producer in Israel has come under intense scrutiny following the uncovering of a series of inflammatory social media posts in which he called for a "Holocaust" against the people of Gaza.

Elad Barashi, who has worked in the Israeli entertainment industry for several years, sparked outrage after posting on X: "Good morning, let there be a Shoa (Holocaust) in Gaza."

In another post, he wrote, "I can't understand the people here in the State of Israel who don't want to fill Gaza with gas showers... or train cars... and finish this story! Let there be a Holocaust in Gaza."

What is their purpose in living in the west bank? Genuine question, don't deflect.

The reason vary. Security and ancient connection to Judea and Samaria are the main ones.

ancient connection

Not relevant to current geopolitics or international law.

Security

Settlers building houses way outside of Israeli areas does not enhance security in any meaningful way. Case in point, you literally just claimed they were being ethnically cleansed.

In 1947/48 Jews were ethnically cleansed from the West Bank and Jerusalem. Afterwards they were expelled from most Arab and Muslim countries.

Yes, many scholars think the settlements in the West Bank are against international law.

Settlements do something for security. Israel is a tiny country and the West Bank is the high ground overlooking the coastal plain. From some points in the West Bank attackers can shell the main population areas easily, as has happened in the past. So taking land alleviates that strategic weak point. An attack on a settlement is one less attack on Israel or gives advance notice of bigger attacks. It also gives the IDF legitimacy to operate in the area to protect civilians. That’s the reasoning behind them.

Now, I‘m against settlements and the land theft and oppression of Palestinians that results from it.
