Much of the world’s media has chosen to report on Israel’s intention to enlarge the city of Rafah so that it can accommodate another 600,000 Gazans (the total population of Gaza is 2.2 million), as if what was being planned by those endlessly wicked Israelis was an internment camp or, worse still, a “concentration camp.” That is not what is planned, but everyone seems determined to mislead, in order to blacken Israel’s image in the world even more than has already been accomplished. More on this latest example of misreporting can be found here: “Media’s Grotesque Holocaust Dog Whistle: ‘Internment Camp’ Lie Built on Retracted Reuters Claim,” by Rachel O’Donoghue, HonestReporting, July 10, 2025:
The Guardian described Israel as having drawn up “plans for an internment camp on ruins of Rafah,” in an analysis piece by Emma Graham-Harrison, the paper’s newly appointed Jerusalem-based Middle East correspondent.
Emma Graham-Harrison, in the far-left and determinedly anti-Israel Guardian, gets the Israeli plan exactly wrong. The Israelis are not building “an internment camp on the ruins of Rafah,” but instead plan to clean the rubble from Rafah, and to build not a camp, but an addition to the city that will be able to accommodate 600,000 more people. Those people will be moving to safer quarters from their current tent cities in Al-Muwasi. There will be no forced “internment.” Anyone who wants to leave will be able to do so. But the Israelis are betting that few will want to turn down the “new and improved and enlarged” city of Rafah, and the humanitarian aid that can more easily and more safely be distributed there, that they are hoping to build.
The BBC reported “plans to move Gaza’s population to camp in Rafah.”
ABC Australia ran a headline referring to the construction of a “large-scale camp,” citing so-called “human rights lawyers” who had denounced the proposal.
How can those “human rights lawyers” denounce a proposal that they clearly do not understand? Israel is not going to construct a “large scale camp,” but will merely be enlarging, after cleaning the rubble from, the city of Rafah. Why not explain that, instead of scaring people with the use of the terms “camps,” “internment camps,” and “ghettos”?
Germany’s DW News presented it as a foregone conclusion: “Israel to confine Gazans in camp near border.”
And the Irish Times went even further, dropping the pretense. A recent op-ed accused Israel of creating “ghettos” for Gazans.
The implication is chillingly clear. The Jewish state, they suggest, is now echoing the crimes once committed against its own people. Israel, the inheritor of Holocaust memory, has become a Nazi regime. The grotesque irony is not lost on the editors who chose these headlines. It is intentional.
And it is also clearly a lie.
The claim that Israel is planning “internment camps” or “ghettos” is not grounded in fact. It stems from a statement by Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz, who said he had instructed the IDF to prepare a plan to establish a “humanitarian city” in the southern Gaza Strip. At no point – in English or Hebrew – did Katz use the word “camp,” nor did he imply mass internment or forced confinement.
According to Katz, the plan involves relocating approximately 600,000 Palestinians, primarily from the al-Muwasi area, into a new protected zone where humanitarian aid could be safely delivered. Individuals would undergo security screening to prevent Hamas terrorists from embedding themselves among civilians.
Even Haaretz, hardly a defender of the Israeli government, reportedthat the plan is unlikely to move forward due to concerns over its feasibility. There is no finalized proposal. No construction has begun. No orders have been given. It remains a theoretical contingency in a war where Hamas deliberately uses civilians as shields, and aid delivery is perilously complicated….
The media’s casual flirtation with Holocaust inversion is not just offensive. It is factually wrong and morally repugnant. And in an era of rising global antisemitism, it must be called out for what it is – incitement against Jews.
What kind of concentration camp must Gaza be, if 100,000 people have been allowed to leave the Strip, without the slightest hindrance, since the war Hamas started began on October 7, 2023? What kind of “camp” — internment or concentration — provides new housing for its inhabitants? What kind of internment camp has no guards, no barbed wire, no searchlights, no menacing German shepherds, and exists only to provide its inhabitants with safer quarters and easier access to humanitarian aid? The Israelis call what they are intending to construct a “humanitarian city,” yet not a single account in the media has made clear that that is Israel’s intention. Why not?
Meanwhile, we Jews grow angrier by the day.
Why not impose a final solution on the Muslims?
…and on the politically left of center too??
the angry Jew. Now that’s a nubie for going into Shabbos.
Plays have been written and performed about the ‘angry black man’ –
Angry Jew, not so much….like Hebrew people aren’t pissed at the antisemitism and relentless persecution and genocide of our people?
October 13, 2023 – I read the news with my morning cup of jo’ – a wound in my heart. and anger, 10-13-2023 followed by the tsunami of antisemitism that has become so fashionable, vogue and hip.
I must focus. I used anger to defeat depression. With life experience from years of discipline, anger gives way to focus and action to take on the enemy and defeat out foes.
Anger is legitimate reaction to events. The anger must yield to focus, strategic planning and action for desired results,
There are so many Jewish comedians for a reason.
I recently came into possession of a double CD of Woody Allen doing stand-up. He goes into the subject sideways.
“I told (an enemy) to be fruitful and multiply. Not exactly in those words” …
Shit man, was it us we who invented flipping the bird? If not, it should have been.
And here I thought Gaza already was the ‘open air’ prison that the supercharged over-the-top left and the Muslims always call it.
You know, the place where the poor swinestinians are starving in the midst of endless population increases, where the population is always being killed by the IDF food riots, and the suffering at the hands of the Hamasimeans terrorists never ends.
High ries with Color TV and AC deemed internment/ Concentration camp because there is no Olympic size pool. Clearly crime against humanity..
Israel has to reclaim Gaza and Palestine. It is too dangerous to allow enemies of Israel to occupy Israeli land.
Wouldn’t these people be better off in land by the wealth Arab Emirates that are also myzzlym? They can start educating these people’s young to compete in the world that President Donald J Trump 47 if bringing to the world.
Unprecedented, but yes, once again, USA leads the way to peace. harmonic cooperation and prosperity for all participants.
Give President Donald J. Trump 45 & 47 a Nobel Peace Prize!
Given that there will be Muslim and Christian areas on both sides of Israel, Israel should try to attract dissident Muslims to the region.
Artists, Persian film makers, Muslims musicians, and so forth…..the Muslims who are rejected by Islamic dogma.
Most all the news is Fake we all know the NYT’s is all Fake News
that israel is providing any assistance to the fakestinians , tents , rebuilding , assistance to resettle somewhere , is beyond any kind of logic . giving them what most people would be appreciative of would work if they werent arabs . no matter what you provide they will still want to murder jews . the west would do it but they are hoping their proxies will do the dirty work for them . hence the west siding with hamas and reporting the lies straight out of hell . leave the miserable murderers in the tents they currently live in . lets see how many tunnels they dig to get out of gaza to forge a new existence elsewhere ., just dont give them money , concrete and pipes . martyrdom is their highest goal in life , oblige them whenever the opportunity arises .
Psalm 2….. “Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, (Israel) saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
