"Israel should have exploited the repression of the demonstrations in China, when world attention focused on that country, to carry out mass expulsions among the Arabs of the territories." -- Benyamin Netanyahu, Deputy Foreign Minister, November 24, 1989 https://x.com/R34lB0rg/status/1861619654784942120/photo/1
Yosef Weitz's statement, advocating for the transfer of the Arab population from Palestine, would be considered a violation of contemporary international law:
Geneva Conventions: It would breach protections against forcible transfers or deportations, especially in occupied territories.
Rome Statute: Such actions could be classified as war crimes or crimes against humanity, particularly if seen as ethnic cleansing or forcible transfer of population.
Today's legal framework focuses on preventing ethnic manipulation, ensuring self-determination, and upholding human rights, all of which would directly oppose the policies Weitz suggested.
"It must be clear that there is no room in the country for both peoples... If the Arabs leave it, the country will become wide and spacious for us... The only solution is a land of Israel... without Arabs. There is no way but to transfer the Arabs from here to the neighboring countries, to transfer all of them, save perhaps for Bethlehem, Nazareth, and old Jerusalem. Not one village must be left, not one tribe." -- Yosef Weitz

The article "Unraveling the Mindset of Victimhood" by Scott Barry Kaufman in Scientific American discusses the psychological concept of interpersonal victimhood, where individuals see themselves as perpetual victims in social interactions.
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/unraveling-the-mindset-of-victimhood/
Characteristics of Victimhood: People with this mindset constantly seek recognition for their victimhood, exhibit moral elitism, lack empathy for others, and frequently ruminate on past victimizations.
Victimhood vs. Victimization: The article distinguishes between experiencing trauma or victimization and adopting a victimhood mindset, noting that one can exist without the other.
Cognitive Biases: It highlights how this mindset leads to interpretation, attribution, and memory biases, where minor offenses are seen as severe, and there's a tendency to anticipate hurt in ambiguous situations.
Impact on Forgiveness: Those with a victimhood mindset are less likely to forgive others, fueled by cognitive biases that skew perception and memory towards negativity.
Social Implications: The mindset can perpetuate conflict and reduce empathy, affecting both interpersonal relationships and group dynamics, with historical and cultural examples provided.
Moving Beyond Victimhood: The article suggests that while acknowledging injustices is crucial, moving past a victim identity can foster personal growth and better relationships.
The piece encourages understanding these dynamics to promote healthier social interactions and personal development.

Geneva Conventions: Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention specifically prohibits forcible transfers or deportations of protected persons from occupied territory to the territory of the Occupying Power or to any other country. This is considered a grave breach of the Convention.
Rome Statute: The International Criminal Court (ICC) categorizes "deportation or forcible transfer of population" as both a war crime and a crime against humanity when committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against any civilian population.
