Israeli defense minister: Europe should take in Gaza’s population

Population replacement in the West

“The people of Gaza should have the right to freedom of movement and migration, as is customary everywhere in the world”, said the Minister of Defense.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz praises Trump’s plans for the US to take control of the Gaza Strip.

He also emphasizes that European countries are legally obliged to take in Gaza’s Palestinian population and that their “hypocrisy will be exposed” if they refuse.

The Nordic Times has previously reported on Trump’s plans to take control of the Gaza Strip and permanently empty the area of Palestinians.

Like Netanyahu, Katz praises the plans, describing them as a “bold initiative”. He also claims that European countries are legally obliged to receive the displaced Palestinians and that he expects this to happen.

“Countries such as Spain, Ireland, Norway, and others, which have falsely accused Israel over its actions in Gaza, are legally obligated to allow Gazans to enter their territory. Their hypocrisy will be exposed if they refuse. Meanwhile, countries like Canada, which has a structured immigration program, have previously expressed willingness to take in residents from Gaza”, he writes.

“The people of Gaza should have the right to freedom of movement and migration, as is customary everywhere in the world”, the Minister of Defense further argues.

Mr. Katz announces that he has instructed the Israeli army to “allow any resident of Gaza who wishes to leave to do so, to any country willing to receive them”. The plan is to deport the Palestinian civilian population, partly via land crossings, but also by ship and airplane.

Unclear how Sweden will be affected

The Swedish government has so far refused to distance itself from or condemn the Israeli genocide in Gaza. Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson will not even answer whether the systematic bombing of Palestinian hospitals falls within the scope of proportionate self-defence.

Instead of pressuring Israel, he has chosen to focus on protecting Israeli interests in Sweden – for example, by monitoring parts of Stockholm with drones around the clock.

Historically, Sweden has also been hit very hard by mass immigration in connection with conflicts and wars in the Middle East – but there is no information yet on how many Palestinians the government plans to accept this time.

Fewer Swedish women want to have children: “A societal change”

Population replacement in the West

Published 15 April 2025

Birth rates across the Western world are at alarming levels

One in four young women now say they are unwilling or reluctant to have children in the future, while birth rates are at historically low levels.

Midwife and professor Tanja Tydén points out that there are things that society can do to try to get the birth rate going again, if only the political will exists.

The Nordic Times has previously highlighted the study from Uppsala University, which shows that only 75 percent of young women in Sweden today say they want to have children – a sharp decline from 91 percent just ten years ago.

Of those who answered why they did not want children, most said they simply had no desire to become parents. Health reasons were the second most common reason and the third most common was that they valued their freedom more than having children. Economic reasons came fourth and the fifth most common reason given by women was concern about alleged climate change and overpopulation.

– It’s a societal change… There are far more people now than before who do not want to have children. A quarter of women say they are hesitant or don’t want to, explains Tanja Tydén, a midwife and professor at the Department of Women’s and Children’s Health at Uppsala University.

“Some are afraid of the climate threat”

She points out that only in the last decade has there been a sharp decline in the proportion of women who want to have children, and that there are several different explanations for why family formation is less popular today.

– Some say they simply don’t want children, others say they value their freedom, and some say they fear the threat of climate change.

– One group has said that the economy is driving this, she continues.

Although some of the factors are difficult to change politically, she points out that society and politicians can actually create incentives to increase childbearing – for example, by making parental benefits more favorable for certain groups.

– When it comes to an issue like the economy. If you have studied for a long time and become pregnant at the end of your studies, you receive the absolute lowest parental benefit. Society has the opportunity to make a change here.

Same trend throughout the Western world

Last year, Statistics Sweden noted that the number of children born per woman in Sweden had fallen to 1.43 – the lowest figure ever recorded in the country. In order to avoid a negative population trend, an average of around 2.1 children per woman is needed.

Instead of focusing on increasing birth rates, both center-right and center-left governments in Sweden have over the past decades prioritized immigration from the third world – resulting in population growth despite declining native birth rates.

Sweden is not unique either – with the same trend visible across the Western world, and in the EU as a whole, the birth rate in 2023 stood at 1.38 children per woman – and significantly lower than that in countries like Spain, Italy and Poland.

Trump plans biggest mass deportations in US history

Donald Trump's USA

Published 14 April 2025

Trump campaigned on deporting millions of illegal migrants.

According to four current and former federal officials with direct insight into the planning, the Trump administration aims to deport at least one million migrants in the first year of the president’s return to the White House.

This would be the largest deportation program in US history, surpassing the previous record set during Barack Obama’s presidency when around 400,000 migrants were deported annually at its peak.

According to the officials, who spoke to the Washington Post on condition of anonymity, White House adviser Stephen Miller is working closely with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and other agencies on a daily basis to achieve the goal.

However, the sources say there is still much uncertainty about how the mass deportations will be realized – not least because the agencies that will carry them out are suffering from staff shortages and budget constraints. Lengthy legal processes are also highlighted as a problem, as most migrants currently have the right to have their cases heard in court before they are deported.

One possible strategy to achieve the goal is to focus on deporting some of the 1.4 million migrants who already have final deportation orders but have not yet been sent home because their home countries refuse to accept them.

The administration is reportedly currently negotiating with up to 30 countries to accept deportees who are not their citizens, including Mexico, Costa Rica and Panama. A legal document mentions that it hopes to send “thousands” of migrants to such third countries.

“Efficient mass deportation of terrorist and illegal aliens”

White House spokesman Kush Desai declined to answer questions about the administration’s goals, but wrote in an email to the newspaper that the Trump administration has a mandate from voters to repair the Biden administration’s handling of border security and illegal migration.

“The entire Trump administration is aligned on delivering on this mandate, not on arbitrary goals, with a full-of-government approach to ensure the efficient mass deportation of terrorist and criminal illegal aliens”.

During his election campaign, Trump promised to deport “millions” of migrants when he came to power – and the Vice President, JD Vance, mentioned last year that a million could be deported first. However, according to the administration’s own figures, the process is complex – as immigration court proceedings can take years at worst.

The Trump administration has already sent hundreds of migrants to a mega-prison in El Salvador and to the Guantanamo Bay detention center in Cuba – but these represent only a fraction of the millions of illegal immigrants in the country.

“Not just a switch you can turn on”

Finding the 1.4 million aliens with deportation orders who are in the US in the first place is also considered a very complicated project – despite a coordinated effort involving the FBI, DEA and ATF.

Therefore, the Trump administration has requested that Congress authorize additional funding to expand the effort and deploy additional personnel – although this is also expected to take time.

– The deportation process is time-consuming. That is not just a switch you can turn on, said former migration commissioner Doris Meissner.

Currently, an estimated 11 million illegal migrants are in the US.

Muslims use the Constitution to build Sharia enclaves in the US

Population replacement in the West

Sam Amin talks about his plans.

Islamic critic Amy Meek, founder of the Resistance Against Islamic Radicals (RAIR) Foundation, is sounding the alarm about what she describes as systematic attempts to abuse the US Constitution in order to establish Shariah enclaves in the United States.

In a social media post, she refers to a podcast in which Muslim real estate developer Sam Amin describes his efforts to create an exclusively Muslim community in Texas based on Islamic law.

Amin describes the project as more than just a housing development – but rather an Islamic enclave where the streets are named after Islamic conquerors and where condominium fees fund the local mosque.

He further testifies how legal tricks are used to discourage non-Muslims from moving in, and how frontmen with classic American-sounding names are used to hide the project’s true purpose.

– We’re making the laws… we’re putting those laws, Amin says in the podcast, also mentioning that “seventy-five percent of the fees go to the mosque”, while laughing at the use of names like “John Smith” in official documents to avoid unnecessary attention.

Amin also claims that he hires local experts – lawyers, engineers and planners – with ties to the municipality to smooth the way for the projects.

– I hired everyone the township knows… their attorney, their civil engineer, their planning commissioner. This is their boy.

“Using the Constitution as a cover”

Amy Meek reacts sharply, saying this is a strategy to replace the US Constitution with Sharia law, and she points to several similar housing projects in Texas – such as EPIC City in Plano and other areas of the state that now have Muslim-sounding names like “Medina Villas”, “Villas of Andalus” or “Alhamra Valley”.

“They are using the Constitution as cover to build a system that will one day replace it. Meanwhile, our government remains frozen, unsure how to stop this threat”, she writes, and continues:

“All appear branded for Muslims. All centered around mosques. They have Islamic street names and even mosques built into the housing ‘community’. All are believed to be functioning as de facto Islamic enclaves”.

“The American Dream – for Muslims”

In a widely circulated video clip, viewers are guided around what is described as an all-Islamic community in Irving, Texas, with the guide cheerfully declaring that “everybody is Muslim here” and the enclave reminds him of his “100% Muslim country“.

– Texas is the future, he states, declaring that this type of enclave is “the ideal life for Muslims”.

– This is the American dream – for Muslims, he says.

Amy Meek says these are carefully planned Islamist colonies, and calls on Governor Gregg Abbott to act.

“This isn’t assimilation. It’s replication. And it follows a well-known Islamic doctrine: Hijrah – migration for the advancement of Islam, not integration into host cultures”.

Trump withdraws half a million residence permits

Donald Trump's USA

A majority of those who lose their residence permits come from Haiti.
Editorial Staff
editorial@nordictimes.com

The US administration under Donald Trump has announced that around 530,000 citizens from Haiti, Nicaragua, Cuba and Venezuela will have their temporary residence permits in the United States revoked. According to the decision, affected individuals have 30 days to leave the country.

The decision, announced on Wednesday 24 April, applies to individuals previously granted temporary protection in the United States under the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program. This program has previously granted residency to nationals from countries deemed unsafe due to crises such as war, natural disasters or exceptional circumstances.

In its statement, the Trump administration justified the decision by saying that conditions in the countries concerned had improved enough for citizens to return and Homeland Security officials point out that TPS was meant to be a temporary solution – not a path to permanent residency.

For Nicaragua and Haiti, the changes will take effect from June 1, while for Venezuela and Cuba the decision will apply from July 1. Those who do not leave the country by the deadline risk deportation and face restrictions on future entry to the US.

Statistics from the US authorities show that around 300,000 Haitians, 140,000 Venezuelans, 60,000 Cubans and 30,000 Nicaraguans are affected.

In use since 1990

The TPS program, introduced in 1990, has previously been used to fly citizens from over a dozen countries, including El Salvador and Syria, into the US. During Trump’s previous term (2017-2021), there were several similar revocations of TPS status, decisions that his opponents tried unsuccessfully to appeal in court.

According to Homeland Security, individual waivers will be considered for people with pending applications for permanent residence or asylum.

The announcement has also led to loud protests from migrants and immigration activists who accuse the Trump administration of “racism” and of violating the rights of asylum seekers.

It can also be noted that a large majority of those who now lose their residence permits are Haitians – and that Trump as recently as last fall accused Haitians of killing and eating Americans’ dogs and cats.
