Analysis by Mahmoud Muhareb tracing the history of Israeli displacement plans targeting Palestinians in Gaza from the 1948 Nakba through the Gaza genocide, arguing that Israel's campaign in Gaza is part of a Zionist strategy of forced displacement rather than a response to October 7. The piece covers the post-1967 plans to displace Gaza's population to Sinai and South America, waves of official Israeli calls for displacement, public statement by Netanyahu and government ministers, proposed Knesset legislation to pay Palestinians to emigrate, and a January 2024 rally where ministers signed a settlement charter for Gaza. This piece is essential for research on Gaza displacement, the Gaza genocide, the Nakba, Israeli settlement policy, and the ongoing Nakba.
