Daniella Weiss, 78, the grandmother of Israel’s settler movement, who says she already has a list of 500 families ready to move to Gaza immediately.
“I have friends in Tel Aviv,” she says, “so they say, ‘Don’t forget to keep for me a plot near the coast in Gaza,’ because it’s a beautiful, beautiful coast, beautiful golden sand”.
She tells them the plots on the coast are already booked.
Mrs Weiss heads a radical settler organisation called Nachala, or homeland. For decades, she has been kickstarting Jewish settlements in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, on Palestinian land captured by Israel in the 1967 Middle East war.
Some in the settler movement have cherished the dream - or pipedream - of returning to Gaza since 2005, when Israel ordered a unilateral pullout, 21 settlements were dismantled and about 9,000 settlers were evacuated by the army. (Reporting from Gaza at the time, I saw many who were literally dragged out.)
Many settlers saw all this as a betrayal by the state, and a strategic mistake.
Looks like they beat Jared Kushner
Fucking vile.
This is the same shit the Nazis did. Boy, have the tables turned.
That’s not “settling”. That’s conquering.
What disgusting people.
Like another person in here said, fuck extremists of all sorts and creed.
If that’s what you mean, wholeheartedly agree.
If not, if you’re generalizing from extremist israelis to all jewish people, you should be deeply ashamed.
I mean the people the article is specifically about: people salivating at the thought on colonizing land after it has been ethically cleansed.
Dear residents of the world. What will you do when Jewish settlers come for your home?
fuck the extremists
I see what you mean, but settlers aren’t really extremists in Israel. Over there “All of Judea belongs to us, the chosen people, so we have the right to chase out and murder the subhuman Arabs” is a pretty common idea.
I would argue that’s how most extremists think… they’re superior to some other group they have defined subhumans. It’s disgusting
The fact that it’s widespread isn’t mutually exclusive with it being extreme. That’s a pretty extremist point of view
extremist /ĭk-strē′mĭst/ noun
A person who advocates or resorts to measures beyond the norm, especially in politics.
“….the plots are already booked…” like its a fucking vacation
Sounds like they want more Lebensraum.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Just ask Daniella Weiss, 78, the grandmother of Israel’s settler movement, who says she already has a list of 500 families ready to move to Gaza immediately.
Mrs Weiss proudly shows me a map of the West Bank with pink dots indicating Jewish settlements.
We meet Daniella at her home in the West Bank settlement of Kedumim, where red-roofed houses are spread over hilltops and valleys.
A few days later, Daniella Weiss is selling the idea of a return to Gaza over cake and popcorn at a small gathering, hosted by another settler in their living room.
In the shade of a sprawling tree, Yehuda Shimon is playing with his two young sons, who are in hammocks, hanging from the branches.
Outposts like his are multiplying in the West Bank, along with larger settlements, fragmenting Palestinian territory and stoking tension.
The original article contains 1,206 words, the summary contains 140 words. Saved 88%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
That’s one hateful grandma.
Read an interview with her a while ago. She’s all about “We don’t want violence. We just want the land.”
I don’t want a genocide, I just want lebensraum
Now where have we heard that one before… No, no, don’t tell me, let me think, I’ve hear this somewhere…
Canada?
Close, close…
I didn’t want violence, either. I just wanted my neighbor’s PlayStation 5.
I remember when Nazi Germany said they didn’t want to harm Jews, they just wanted them out of Germany, then they decided that all of Europe should belong to Germany, and then blamed the Jews for forcing their hand to violence by continuing to exist.
Genocidal leeches
Returning to Gaza? They were never there to begin with
