three ministers in Israel's far right government have called for depopulation of gaza and replacement of the arab population with jewish colonists

the finance minister Bezalel Smotrich (author of the 2017 Smotrich plan for ethnically cleansing the palestinian territories) said that the solution to the war was "to encourage the voluntary migration of Gaza’s residents to countries that will agree to take in the refugees" adding that "Israel will permanently control the territory of the Gaza Strip"

security minister Itamar Ben Gvir said that the war was "an opportunity to concentrate on encouraging the migration of the residents of Gaza" and added that "
“We cannot withdraw from any territory we are in in the Gaza Strip. Not only do I not rule out Jewish settlement there, I believe it is also an important thing"

intelligence minister Gilia Gamliel also called for "voluntary resettlement" for gazans outside of gaza in an article for the jerusalem post

can migration really be called voluntary when the alternative is being killed? is ethnic cleansing ever a legitimate form of self defence? 

the USA has rebuked two of the ministers

You've claimed, "The world of Islam isn't different from Hamas." so what do you mean by "the world of Islam"?

I mean Hamas is Islamic.  Reading some around here one could be forgiven for thinking Islam plays no part in that organisation.

so... a coupla cabinet ministers say that Gaza should be razed - - isnt govt policy (despite their status)

but every one in Islam is supporter of Hamas....

Sounds as tho Netanyahu has a cabinet full of Jesuits doesnt it  ( Jays full of hair splitting, and 'let us call a thing another thing')

only on AB folks

No one said any of that, Peter Pedant.  Only on AB folks.
