After the deadly October 7 attacks by Hamas that killed 1,200 Israelis and the war that followed that killed over 44,000 Gazans, many pro-Palestinian supporters took to the streets and set up encampments on campuses, campaigning for a “free Palestine.” But what would a liberation of Palestine look like, and what will happen after?
"once Israel falls, there's a debate if we should let the Zionists flee to Europe or should we genocide them.
I am in favor of finishing them"

That’s what Iran-based Lebanese academic Hadi Dalloul tried to answer during an interview with a popular Lebanese YouTube channel, where he speculated that Israelis would either be allowed to flee to Europe or be subjected to genocide. Dalloul made such remarks when he discussed the recent attacks on Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam.
During an appearance with Lebanon On, a popular Lebanese YouTube channel, Dalloul, who was presented as a nuclear physicist and an international law expert, said that Israelis would either be killed or “deported” to Europe when an interviewer asked him about their possible fate following a potential "liberation" of Palestine.
"What will the liberation [of Palestine] look like? Will the Israeli soldiers leave the region? The Israeli population will..." the interviewer asked.

“There is still a dispute about this. Will the Zionists be allowed to flee? Will the Israeli soldiers be allowed to take off their military uniforms, put on civilian clothes, and flee with the civilians, or will they be arrested? Will they be killed, or will they be deported to Europe?” Dalloul began to answer.
He also claimed that Europe would be “adamant” against accepting fleeing Israelis into their borders, saying that it would say it is under some sort of crisis and would signal they would not be willing to accept “immigrants.”
“Europe is adamant against opening its gates to immigrants. They will not name them 'Israeli Zionists,' so it will not be considered racism. I expect them to say, at first, that Europe is in crisis because of COVID or whatever and is not ready to accept 'immigrants.' They will say 'immigrants' without specifying.” Dalloul said.
Your average "anti-zionist" right there.

Dalloul also made claims that Europe would shut down its borders because of a possible fear of Israelis staging a coup and establishing a second Israel in the continent, going so far as suggesting the recent attacks against Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam will provide a glimpse of what the presence of Israelis in Europe will look like.
“This will shut the door before the Zionists because if they go there, they will stage a coup and establish a second Israel. I think that what happened in the Netherlands proved to the Europeans what the presence of the Israelis in Europe will look like, let alone after their state was dismantled. So, the dispute right now is whether to carry out a genocide against them or will the civilians be allowed to leave? Honestly, there are many voices.”
Throughout the interview, Dalloul framed the situation as committing genocide against Israelis or deporting them to Europe and letting them flee. He also suggested that Israelis would establish refugee camps in Europe and later attempt to return to Israel.
Wake up before...
They spent a year trying to gaslight you about the meaning of "Intifada". Do you now understand what "Globalize the Intifada" really means? These savages are just getting started.

He also concluded that Europe would see them as a “nuisance” and possibly send them back, and suggested that it would be best to resolve the issue once and for all, hinting at a possible genocide.
"Should there be a genocide against them, or should they be deported? If I deport them abroad but they are not welcome there, there will be [refugee] camps. In these Israeli camps abroad, the first decision they will make will be to teach at school that 'Israel was over there' and that they should make arrangements to return to Israel. So, what have we accomplished? We will have to fight all over again. The [Europeans], for whom they will be a nuisance, will also make efforts to send them back. So it is best for us and for them to get it over with…” Dalloul said.
