The camp is only the first step. Israel's Defence Minister has made it clear that emigration would follow.

Ehud Olmert says forcing people into camp would be ethnic cleansing, and anger at Israel is not all down to antisemitism

"Humanitarian City" is just such obvious double speak.

When I was younger reading history, I would see obvious double speak and names like "The Cultural Revolution" that were just grand titles for police state actions. I always thought that was something that may work pre-internet before people had access to information.

One thing that's become really obvious, it still works.
 

It raises the uncomfortable question: Why is a "humanitarian" city necessary? Is that not an admission by Israel that the conditions they have imposed on the Palestinians of Gaza are inhumane?
