Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly criticised the military’s proposal to construct a so-called “humanitarian city” in Rafah, warning that the project could take up to a year to complete and would cost billions.

During a closed-door security cabinet meeting on Sunday, Netanyahu and several ministers dismissed the Israeli army's timeline as unrealistic, according to a source cited by Haaretz.

Israeli officials estimate that building a so-called “humanitarian city” in Rafah could cost between $2.7bn and $4bn, according to Israeli media outlet YnetNews.

The proposed concentration camp which would hold up to 500,000 displaced Palestinians, has been widely denounced by rights groups as a form of forced displacement and ethnic cleansing. Critics say the plan amounts to corralling civilians into a zone they would be barred from leaving, with no return to northern Gaza allowed.

It's insane that the US, UK and Germany are enabling this genocidal perpetrator.

Three countries with strong histories of genocide helping another genocidal country... Honestly not that surprising (although it is incredibly disappointing).

Wait, what has Germany been up to?

[–] MrMakabar@slrpnk.net 7 points 6 days ago

Mainly supplying weapons parts to Israel, cracking down on protests and blocking EU sanctions. It is not even close to as bad as what the US is doing, but still not a good look.

As mentioned above by MrMakabar, also those three countries along with Egypt are on the Gaza genocide wiki page as potential complicity. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_genocide

(They are all complicit)

How? It is for half a million people. That is at most $8000 per person.

Alligator Auschwitz costs $450million per year to run for only 5000 prisoners. That is $90,000 per prisoner.

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Yup. And it's less prisoners to start, so your figure is conservative. This is bonkers, guys. What are we doing?

Someone should slam this pussy already
