The group of seven experts called for an end to the atrocities and expressed concern that the enforced disappearances will discourage Palestinians from accessing food distribution points, increasing the risk of starvation.

Is there any doubt at this point that this is Israel's plan? As in, yes: That's the idea. This is how genocide happens. Israel wants the Palestinians gone. Dead. Done. Over with.

If there's no Palestinians in Gaza they can absorb it into Israel which was the entire point of imprisoning them there in the first place.

They're following the American playbook on this one. Not Hitler's. The Israeli government is betting that 100 years after the (successful) genocide, no one will care what they did. Because by then, it'll long since be too late.

The thing is: In 100 years no one will care because some other conflict will have replaced this one. My guess: It'll be Isrealis VS Israelis in a great big civil war that will go on seemingly forever. It'll go on so long, in fact, that peoples of the future will stop thinking of the two sides as one people and will start referring to them with terms like, "Palestinians" and "Jews".
