Israel is adamant about expelling Palestinian by making their life a living hell in the besieged Gaza Strip, the occupied West Bank, occupied East Jerusalem, and also inside the Green Line, better known as historical Palestine, so Palestinian will forced to leave their homes and seek shelter elsewhere for safety.
The Israeli policy live, leave or die will not work. either the Israeli leave back to where they came from or live miserable live with their families with peace or security or recognize the Palestinian right to live free and independent like they aspire for themselves.
July 05, 2026, the Israeli daily Haaretz reported that, 175 Palestinian have been killed in Israel since the beginning of the year, including 146 members within the Green Line. That is a reference to 48-Palestinians community (Palestinians who never left Palestine when Israel was created). 14 of the victims were killed this week alone. No arrest was made in the killing of 146 Palestinians. Israel argues, it does not have enough manpower.
However, when an Israeli Jew is killed by a Palestinian,
1- the police identify the perpetrator within less than 24 hours.
2- the suspect gets hunted down, killed/arrested,
3- his home is demolished.
Thousands of Palestinian people have lost their homes to demolitions in what human rights groups say is a policy by Israel of “collective punishment” that may amount to war crimes. Israeli soldiers or settlers who kill Palestinians do not have their home demolished and if they ever arrested and found guilty, they usually get a slap on the hand or get home arrest for few days.
Remember the name of the Israeli official who called for expelling all Palestinians who hold Israeli citizenship? It was no other than the Israeli terrorist and repeat offender, the national security minister Ben-Gvir. The same Ben-Gvir who the Israeli Death Forces (IDF) banned him from compulsory military service when he was a teen, because it considered his views too extreme.
In February 2025, he told Ultranationalist rally in Jerusalem, " We should expel over 2 million Palestinians in Gaza and re-establishment of Jewish settlements in the Gaza Strip. He further called for, "Israel must “inherit” Jenin and Nablus in the West Bank as well." Source: The Times of Israel, February 27, 2025.
The ill treatment of Palestinian is a state policy
* Palestinian inmates in Israel's prisons are subjected to torture, rape, starvation and medical negligence.
* Daily attacks by settlers throughout the West Bank as well as stealing their life stocks.
* Daily humiliation at 450 Israeli military check all over the West Bank.
* An IDF soldier was seen yesterday throwing a stun grenade into a vehicle carrying a Palestinian family near Qalandia refugee camp, north of Jerusalem. Stun grenades can cause permanent hearing loss.

* Despite the so-called siege fire, the IDF continues the genocide in Gaza, by killing Palestinian on a daily basis and preventing the delivery of humanitarian aid.
Ben Gvir was banned from military service
No wonder Ben-Gvir was forced this week to cancel his U.S. trip out following a warning from NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani that he would be arrested for his crimes.
Ben-Gvir is the same person who the Israeli Death Forces (IDF) banned him from compulsory military service when he was a teen, because it considered his views too extreme.
Why Palestinians won’t leave their land
Finally, as Palestinian America lawyer, Ahmad Ibsais wrote an Op-ed in Al-Jazeera on October 7, explaining how Palestinian managed to resist the ethnic cleansing when he stated, "The more the occupier tries to make Palestinian life impossible, the more Palestinians come up with makeshift solutions to make it possible – whether it is a washing machine powered by a bicycle, a clay oven made from mud and straw to bake bread or an electricity generator assembled from random machine parts. These are just a few acts of stubborn perseverance, of sumud, crystalized."
