> Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has accused Israel of undertaking an “act of cleansing of the entire population of Gaza”.
> The Islington North MP said Israel’s response is in “no way proportionate” to the “appalling events” of October 7, which saw 1,200 Israelis killed when Hamas carried out its attack.
Regardless how how you think who has done what to who. There is clear evidence than Israel have now dehumanised the Palestinian population
“Human animals” … there is another political group that compared a population to animals…. Hmmm can’t think of who it was now.
It’s difficult to know his precise words from this article. But it’s noticeable how reluctant he has been to either mention Hamas by name , specify their crimes or criticise them directly. There is some irony in his frequent use of ‘all lives matter’ and ‘both sides’ *type* language and generalisations considering how the progressive left feel about such equivocation in other contexts.
That being said the idea of what *exactly* is and isn’t a proportionate response – where that line gets drawn , is not an easy one.
The same jeremy corbyn that got the labour party in trouble for refusing to meet with Israeli representitives, while meeting ones from hamas referring to them as his friends? Yeah that’s the one
Its quite literally impossible to deny its an ethnic cleansin.
Im sure there will be some exceptionally good faith 2-month old accounts jumping in to explain why forcible removal of people off their land isnt ethnic cleansing; but this is quite literally the most clear cut case imagineable.
Jeremy Corbyn talking about the Middle East? I’m sure this comment thread is going to be filled with reasoned debate and nuance…
If Hamas was based in an area of Israel…would they be doing the same as they are to Gaza right now, just bombing the hell out of them and not giving a shit if innocents are in the way…of course not cuz their people matter…so why is it perfectly okay to bomb Gaza the way they are.

Everyone was told to evacuate the north; which is now razed. Then the middle, which is being razed. Now [the south is being parceled up and is being invaded](https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/new-idf-map-splits-gaza-into-hundreds-of-zones-residents-will-be-warned-of-active-combat/). Trying to push the remaining population into egypt. Not even to mention the IDF protecting settlers who are destroying entire villages in the west bank.
For over a month now senior Israeli officials and the intelligence ministry have called for [the population of gaza to be divided up and forced to leave; either into the sinai or to other nations](https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2023-10-30/ty-article/.premium/israeli-govt-document-suggests-possible-relocation-of-gazans-to-northern-sinai/0000018b-7ff6-d1da-a1bb-7ffe83ed0000) [2](https://www.timesofisrael.com/intelligence-ministry-concept-paper-proposes-transferring-gazans-to-egypts-sinai/)
