Ethnic cleansing

But what they could not do was produce the weapons and require ammunition for themselves.

Section 2, Ethnic Cleansing.

Thucydides illustrated how the process works in both directions.

Migration usually leads to war, but war can also lead to migration.

For after war takes place, one of the common consequences is the forced migration that is currently known as ethnic cleansing.

Some of the earliest migrations of this kind are recorded in the Old Testament.

The Assyrian kings had an established policy of exiling half the population from the lands they conquered, one they followed after conquering the kingdom of Israel.

Especially after, you know, the last major Jewish populations have migrated to Israel in the United States.

She's quite a fan.

And also she wrote after October 7th all about how much Israel is about to perform ethnic cleansing on the Gazans, which in retrospect, frankly, should have happened, but it didn't, unfortunately.

Israel has done nothing close to relocating the Gazans after October 7th.

And I would love to go more deep into this issue of ethnic cleansing.

I think it's a very interesting topic.

I'd love to share, first of all, the tweet that shows that he actually seems to be quite fond of this terrorist organization.

So this is what she has to say within that context.

Netanyahu told 1.1 million Palestinians they had 24 hours to evacuate.

When I was in high school, a friend of ours downloaded a game.

I believe it was called Ethnic Cleansing.

and it was your dude and you went through the hood shooting black people and they made monkey noises a white supremacist uh record label put it out wow and just a

Sometimes art imitates life.

Is this the Race War one?

Yeah, this is ethnic cleansing.

Oh, this looks like a Doom skin or something.

The Siege of Sarajevo remains a stark reminder of the depths of human cruelty and resilience in the face of unimaginable adversity.

Ethnic cleansing.

Against the backdrop of the Siege of Sarajevo, a horrifying parallel narrative of ethnic cleansing unfolded across Bosnia and Herzegovina.

This systematic and brutal campaign aimed at removing Bosniak and Croat populations from Serb-controlled areas involved the mass expulsion, and in many cases, the horrific killing of civilians based on their ethnicity.

Entire villages were razed to the ground, leaving behind haunting scenes of desolation and loss.

I refuse to send American troops to fight a war in Bosnia, but I believe we must help to secure the Bosnian peace.

I want you to know tonight what is at stake, exactly what our troops will be asked to accomplish, and why we must carry out our responsibility to help implement the peace agreement.

Implementing the agreement in Bosnia can end the terrible suffering of the people, the warfare, the mass executions, the ethnic cleansing, the campaigns of rape and terror.

And I sit down and wonder, that is a hell of a move by Steve Miller.

Because how can you immediately call it a genocide? How can you immediately call it, uh, I shouldn't call it genocide, but ethnic cleansing.

How can you immediately call it ethnic cleansing if some of the ethnic cleansers look like those who are being cleansed? I mean, I want you all to think about...

You know, I-- Don't look at this stuff happening in slow motion and don't understand what's happening.

Right now it is those folks, but it is eventually going to be you, especially those who say, "We object to this evil." Any objector to the evil will eventually find themselves housed in Trump's building gulag.

And, uh, you know, uh, they were supporters of humanity, and they paid with their lives.

And many other supporters of humanities that we are yet to know of pay with their lives.

So for those who think this is just happening to the others, for those who see the makeup of ICE and say, "Okay, I guess it's not ethnic cleansing after all," no, it is ethnic cleansing.

that undermined Israel's security, undermined Israel's global standing, killed a bunch of hostages, obviously killed tens of thousands of Palestinians, civilians, did not destroy Hamas, did not put, you know, it just, it failed on almost every account, but it succeeded in sustaining Benjamin Netanyahu's political life.

That and it also succeeded in at least getting them down the path of this very radical ethnic cleansing.

I mean, I listened to Ben Gavir.

I listened to Smote Rich.

And that introduces a term into the global lexicon that defines the tragedy.

Ethnic cleansing.

It sounds like an administrative adjustment, but the reality is pure terror.

Yeah, the term was coined during this conflict.

And ethnic cleansing is not a byproduct of the war.

It was the strategic objective.

What did that actually look like on the ground?
