“Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu, together with Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, want to establish what they call a ‘humanitarian city’ in Gaza, where more than 600,000 people would live — a city almost double the size of Tel Aviv,” the Yesh Atid leader said.
“What will the soldiers do if children want to leave the city? Who will feed them? Who will be responsible for water and electricity? What will happen if there are epidemics and diseases? Who will treat them?”
“Most relevant for Israeli citizens: How much will this cost us?” Lapid pressed, adding that the most conservative estimated cost for the project is about NIS 15 billion (around $4.5 billion), while other estimates, including from the IDF, suggest it could cost upward of NIS 20 billion.
I would say this is the Israeli equivalent of libertarian criticizing U.S wars due to that
But nah, this is more like the Israeli equivalent of a socdem criticizing Nazi concentration camps, only because it’s quite draining to the taxpayers
Too expensive? That’s your problem with it?
“Nooooo, this concentration camp is too expensiiiiiiiiiive!”
“Can’t we do this more economically? How about shove them all in one giant chamber and gas them. And then instead of expensive burials we cremate the bodies”
On Sunday, MK Gilad Kariv of left-wing The Democrats party wrote on Facebook that the planned zone would be “not ‘a city’ and not ‘humanitarian,’” and that the plan was untenable “from a security perspective,” but also “from an ethical and moral perspective.”
I guess not all have lost their minds. If enough Israelis don’t snap out of their psychosis, they’ll end up in the position of an autocratic Gulf state pronto.
Slam!
Gotta find more efficient ways to do our ethnic cleansing.
