oatmeal<p>Quoting professor Avishai Ehrlich on Trump's "transfer" endorsement and the reshaping of global order:</p><p>[…] While Israelis are drawing comparisons between the condition of returned hostages and the 'Muselmann' in Nazi concentration camps [a derogatory term meaning “Muslim”, as in ‘barbaric’ or ‘fatalistic’], the world views what is happening in Gaza as genocide. Gazans will not leave voluntarily, and Trump will not transfer Gaza's population using the American military, nor through private military companies. Will the Israeli army once again destroy the ruins, bomb the survivors in refugee camps, and exterminate those who are starving? All of them? As Bialik [a poet] said: 'Vengeance like this, for the blood of a child, Satan has yet to devise.' How will we live afterward in the Middle East? How will we live in the world? How will we live with ourselves?</p><p>Ehrlich argues that Trump's support for the "transfer" (ethnic cleansing) of Palestinians from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gaza</span></a> is part of a broader shift in the global order. He connects this endorsement to the historical Zionist concept of transfer, noting that it has been a central idea since before <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Israel</span></a>'s establishment and implemented through various expulsions and dispossessions. He contends that a military victory over <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Hamas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hamas</span></a> is impossible, and that the only way to obtain it is to get rid of the population.</p><p>Ehrlich is a professor of political sociology, and has extensively researched the Israeli-Arab conflict, arguing that Israeli society cannot be understood separately from the conflict, which he terms a "Permanent War society". He views the conflict through the lens of "world-systems" theory, where global power dynamics shape local conflicts. He also researches the concept of "Low Intensity Ethnic Cleansing," where administrative measures create conditions for mass migration, and the rise of Private Military Companies (PMCs), which erode state accountability and international law.</p><p>Hebrew <a href="https://zoha.org.il/135356/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">zoha.org.il/135356/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/israel" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>israel</span></a></span><br><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/palestine" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>palestine</span></a></span><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IsraelOccupation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IsraelOccupation</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IsraelWarCrimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IsraelWarCrimes</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EthnicCleansing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EthnicCleansing</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Transfer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Transfer</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Zionism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Zionism</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DataCapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DataCapitalism</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PrivateMilitaryCompanies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PrivateMilitaryCompanies</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PermanentWar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PermanentWar</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OatmealQuotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OatmealQuotes</span></a></p>
