Agenda To Clean Gazans: Unravelling The Controversy Behind The South Africa–Israel Dispute 

South Africa has raised its concerns about the fact that several Gazans are being shifted to parts of South Africa, which is catering to ethnic cleansing in Gaza. Moreover, the South Africans state that the people who shall leave Gaza can never go back to Gaza. Thus , this caters to the larger agenda to clean Gazans. 

This has moreover strained the relations between South Africa and Israel in multiple ways. 

Ironically, the South African authorities face a significant dilemma: they cannot simply return the Gazans who landed on South African soil.  

A chartered aircraft landed in Johannesburg’s OR Tambo Airport. Moreover, not all the passengers had proper papers. The plane lacked a proper passenger manifest and had no flight plan.  

Moreover, the media worldwide called the plane a mystery plane. Thus, this has created immense confusion among South Africans. 

Moreover, different news channels and newspapers reacted differently to the incident. The New York Times speculated on several aspects of the “mystery flights” landing on South African soil, while reporting them as inexplicable apparitions. 

On the other hand, the Guardian announced that Pretoria shall “investigate” the “mysterious” arrival of passengers who were there in the Airport as they did not have travel papers”. 

Moreover, this article seeks to uncover the truth behind the mysterious flight full of Gazans that landed in South Africa. 

We shall also try to understand if this is aimed at ethnic cleansing on the Gaza soil. Many speculate that there is an Israeli agenda to clean Gazans from Gaza. 

 We will specifically refer to the debate on Piers Morgan’s Uncensored regarding recent events. 

What Are The Recent Courses Of Events, And What Was Discussed On Piers Morgan Uncensored About Israel’s  Agenda To Clean Gazans Of Gaza? 

Moreover, several topics were discussed on the podcast. Most of the podcast revolved around whether Israel is trying to commit ethnic cleansing or not. One of the two guests on the podcast also raised questions about whether South Africa was already aware of the flights’ operations. 

Moreover, there were two guests on the podcast and three people. The host himself, Piers Morgan, and two others, who included Ibrahim Rasool, Emili Schrader, who is an American Journalist of Israeli origin, the former South African ambassador to the United States, and Emily Schrader, who is an Israeli-American journalist. 

Other topics were also discussed on the podcast. Moreover, this included the other issues, such as the white genocide in South Africa and several other things. 

Let’s break down the entire conversation to understand it better.  

1. What Are These Planes, And Who Is Sending Them?

The host of the show, Piers Morgan, asks a couple of questions to Evrahim Rasool. Moreover, he asks what these planes are. Who was sending them? Furthermore, he also asks, do the people on them know where they are being sent? 

Moreover, Piers asks Rasool if the people on the planes are actually willing participants.  

Ebrahim Rasool states that he was not privy to the passengers’ motives on those planes. However, he states that South Africa has so far been able to uncover some of Israel’s motives. He specifically mentioned an Albanian connection in which the planes will not drop passengers at places like Nairobi and will bring them straight to Johannesburg. 

He specifically mentions that this was doen to put the South African Government in a quandary. Moreover, Rasooli calls it a state of quandary as the South African government remains firm in its position against the actions of Israel in Gaza. 

Therefore, the South African government was initially in a state of dichotomy over what to do with the passengers from Gaza. Thus, denying the passengers refuge would have gone against what the South Africans have been saying so far. 

However, the former South African ambassador to the USA states that the South African government later emphasized the moral grounds. Thus, they gave refuge to the People from Gaza on humanitarian grounds.  

However, the South African authorities do not want to participate in the efforts of ethnic-cleansing in the place as they think the Palestinians will never be able to return as long as the Israelis are controlling them. Hence, the South Africans do not want to cater to Israel’s agenda to clean Gazans. 

2. Are The Charges Of Ethnic Cleansing True? 

The host of the show, Piers Morgan, again highlights the fact that the people who had boarded the plane had voluntarily paid to ensure that they could leave Gaza. Thus, Piers states that the people were willing to leave Gaza, and it was good for them that they had reached South Africa and found refuge there. 

However, this raises questions about whether it should be called ethnic cleansing, as the people have been paid to get out of Gaza. 

Rasool replies that it may be true that several people chose to leave the place. However, the people who had voluntarily decided to go can never get back to their homeland. Moreover, this will happen as long as Israel controls the territory. 

3. Did South Africa know about The Recent Developments? What Did The COGAT State About This?  

The host of the show highlighted several things while moving on to the next question. Moreover, the IDF’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories force remains responsible for the crossing of the citizens of Gaza. Moreover, they only allow the citizens of Gaza to travel abroad when a country accepts them. 

The COGAT has stated that the South Africans had accepted the Palestinians in this case. Thus, Israel has clarified that South Africa already knew about this.  

Emily Schrader states that the Israeli authorities, and Prime Minister Netanyahu, had explicitly stated that if someone wants to leave Gaza willingly, they will be allowed to do so.  

On the other hand, when someone is willing to return to Gaza, they will also be allowed to get back to their homeland. Thus, she denounced South Africa’s claims.  She also talked about the Kenya connection.   

Thus, she implied that the South African authorities were already aware of what was happening. Hence, Israel did not have any agenda to clean Gazans. 

What Is The Big Jar’s Take On  Israel’s Agenda To Clean Gaza?  

We at Big Jar think it is not important to determine whether the Gazans are leaving voluntarily or not. The Gazans have indeed been paying for their flights. This is absolutely true. 

However, what matters is that the war has created terrible situations in Gaza. Thus, this has made it absolutely impossible for the citizens of Gaza to be there. Therefore, whether the departure from Gaza is voluntary remains questionable. 

The South Africans have raised the question of whether the people leaving will be able to return.  

However, the South African authorities have not held back from their empathy towards Gaza. Thus, the South African authorities have already accepted Gaza’s citizens. 

However, the question remains whether South Africans were already aware of the arrival of the Gazans in their country. However, there has always been an agenda to clean Gazans.
