The far-right conference urged the government to set up new Jewish settlements in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

Spoiler: it’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir once again (joined by 11 other ministers this time)

    It’s an interesting thought, but is genocide actually better than merely trying to force people to believe in your extremist religious views, at risk of death? I guess Zionism is geographically limited to the Levant.

      They’re not trying to force people to convert to Judaism. They’re literally stealing Palestinian homes and carrying out an ethnic cleansing campaign. Settlers attack Palestinians in the West Bank on a regular basis. They even uproot olive trees owned by Palestinian farmers.

      Check out the Wikipedia article of one of the settler party leaders, Itamar Ben-Gvir. He’s the current Minister of National Security. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itamar_Ben-Gvir

      It might be slower than a typical genocide but the settlements are absolutely about ethnic cleansing.

        Yes, it’s ISIS that I thought wanted everyone to convert everyone to their extreme religious views, not genocide or ethnically cleansing.
