I'd like to know how how this sits with the idea the Israel isn't at all interested in just taking everything from the river to the sea, and how the people of Gaza should just turn over Hamas and trust that the good leaders of Israel don't actually have other plans like starving and bombing them to death so they can finally get that beach front property. No, I'm not exaggerating here.

Israel’s far-right finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, announced the seizure of 10 square kilometers (3.8 square miles) of Palestinian territory in the West Bank on Friday. The move marks the single largest land seizure by the Israeli government since the 1993 Oslo accords, according to Peace Now, a settlement watchdog group.
“While there are those in Israel and the world who seek to undermine our right over the Judea and Samaria area and the country in general,” Smotrich said Friday, referring to the territory by its biblical name, “we are promoting settlement through hard work and in a strategic manner all over the country.”
Israeli settlements in the West Bank are considered illegal under international law. Still, Israel has used land orders like the one issued Friday to gain control over 16 percent of Palestinian-controlled lands in the West Bank. The newly seized area includes parcels in the Jordan Valley and between the settlements of Maale Adumim and Keidar.

Who wouldn't want a house on the beach? For some on Israel's far-right, desirable beachfront now includes the sands of Gaza.
Just ask Daniella Weiss, 78, the grandmother of Israel's settler movement, who says she already has a list of 500 families ready to move to Gaza immediately.
"I have friends in Tel Aviv," she says, "so they say, 'Don't forget to keep for me a plot near the coast in Gaza,' because it's a beautiful, beautiful coast, beautiful golden sand".
She tells them the plots on the coast are already booked.

But I'm sure our resident death merchants here will still proclaim their embarrassment for Canada doing the smallest of something, anything to not assist with this, lets call it what it is now, a planned genocide. It would be refreshing if Israel would just come out and admit it at this point. I don't see how a sane person with a functional brain can look at the facts around this and not see what is happening.
