Quoting Rogel Alpher on Israel’s plans to establish a “humanitarian city” in Gaza:

[…] They say – don’t say Nazis, don’t make comparisons. It’s no longer shocking. It’s clear to me that from my current position on the margins of Israeli society, I can only be shocked, not shock others. Most Israelis don’t see a connection between obsessive education about concentration camps from the Holocaust era and establishing a concentration camp for another people under brutal Israeli military control. What can even be done in the face of this tragic pathology?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced plans to establish what he termed a “humanitarian city” in Gaza to house the entire population of over 2 million people. Katz clarified that there would be no exit from the camp while promising an “emigration program” would be implemented.

Alpher acknowledges this is actually a concentration camp - a fenced compound of tents where the only way out would be through emigration from Gaza entirely - a moral horror that facilitates forced displacement and ethnic cleansing, noting the tragic irony that Israelis who were educated about #Holocaust now support creating concentration camps for another people under Israeli military control.

Israeli journalist Arad Nir faced backlash after describing the Israeli-planned “city of refuge” 🙄 in #Rafah for Gazans as a "concentration camp". He later apologized on social media, clarifying his intent was to criticize the plan as immoral rather than to offend. Other broadcasters present during the original remarks suggested the comparison was inappropriate and historically insensitive.

What’s really disgusting here is the fact that Israeli media now refers to the proposed Rafah concentration camp as a “city of refuge”, a facility being built to shelter and provide food to Palestinians whom they intend to isolate from Hamas. Interestingly, the same people who up until recently claimed that “there are no uninvolved” in Gaza...

Gaza has been a concentration camp with severely limited food supply for the past two decades, since Israel withdrew and imposed a relentless blockade. The blockade has created a cycle of poverty and dependence on the underground tunnel economy, which Israel then used against the Palestinians after October.
