The mainstream American media almost completely ignores the inflammatory statements made by Israeli officials, who openly say they want to remove the Palestinians from Gaza forever, according to an analysis by Mondoweiss.

The Israeli aggression against Gaza forced the residents of the Strip to flee from north to south, in light of declared Israeli intentions to deport Palestinians from Gaza to Europe and other places, such as Sinai and Jordan, amid a decisive Egyptian-Jordanian refusal that prevents the translation of these plans.

The occupation government is trying to impose deportation

Israeli army had demanded from the United Nations, since the beginning of the aggression on October 13, 2023, that 1.1 million Palestinians in Gaza should move to the south of the Strip within 24 hours. Israel did not hesitate at the time to announce that these residents “will not be able to return to Gaza City unless another announcement is issued allowing this.”

This is in addition to circulating media leaks about the Netanyahu government’s intention to put forward a plan to deport the Palestinians of Gaza to Europe and America, if it becomes impossible to transfer them to Sinai due to Egypt’s firm refusal to do so.

The website says that the mainstream media is protecting Israel by covering up far-right Jewish racists, who have gained more power there in recent years.

The media covers up calls for deportation

The site cited, for example, the New York Times, with a headline it published on January 5, saying: “As pressure mounts, an Israeli minister proposes a plan for post-war Gaza,” without mentioning calls for ethnic cleansing from National Security Minister Itamar Ben. Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich.

The “Israeli Minister” in the New York Times headline is actually Yoav Gallant, who holds the defense portfolio, and his “plan” does not mention ethnic cleansing, but rather calls for the formation of a “multinational task force” to eventually oversee Gaza. The reader will have to continue until the sixth paragraph to find the opinions of the extremists.

In a development that the website described as “cunning,” the newspaper says that Ben Gvir’s opinions came in a “Facebook post,” hinting that his opinions were improvised and in reality had little weight. The New York Times article succeeded in weakening Ben Gvir and Smotrich by sticking them in the lower paragraphs, even though the Defense Minister does not have any political followers, unlike Ben Gvir and Smotrich, who constitute two essential elements in the ruling coalition, and without them, Netanyahu’s government would fall and he would lose new elections. He will likely be put on trial.

"Hashtag Palestine": All this violence on the Internet

So far, The Washington Post has not mentioned Ben Gvir and Smotrich at all. American Public Radio mentioned their names in passing, but never quoted their calls for the permanent expulsion of Gazans from the Strip. The two never appeared on CNN either.

One New York Times opinion columnist, Michelle Goldberg, was the exception with a powerful column on January 5. Her first sentence got straight to the point: “Two far-right members of the Israeli government, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, caused an international uproar this week with their call to depopulate Gaza.”

Mondoweiss's analysis says that Goldberg, who resides in New York, found her way to the truth better than New York Times reporters who roam the ground in the occupying state and Palestine. She heard the "international commotion" that her colleagues somehow went unnoticed.

The site points out that this cover-up is more difficult to maintain now, because Benjamin Netanyahu depends on the extremists, who are now in his government, to stay in power, and “they are certainly not keeping silent about their true views.”
