Barely a week has passed and you’ve screwed things up, Donald Trump. The reason is simple: You didn’t consult Israel on how to deny entry into your country without rousing half the world against you. But when it comes to your other promise – actual expulsion – you still have time to consult us.

For a lack of patience and space only two types of expulsion will be discussed here – two of the many types we’ve become experts at: the expulsion of native Palestinian Jerusalemites from their city, and the expulsion of West Bank residents from their homes.

Rule 1: Quiet. Don’t publicize the expulsion policy. Let every person being expelled confront the decree alone and believe that the problem lies with him. Personally. At some point, starting in late 1995 (during the reign of the Labor Party and “Oslo”), the Palestinians realized they were losing their residency status in Jerusalem if they were living where they had already lived years earlier: outside the boundaries of annexed Jerusalem, or abroad.

Rule 2: Astonishment. Insist that after all nothing has changed and that these laws have been there since time immemorial. That’s what the Interior Ministry claimed in 1996 when more and more Palestinians from Jerusalem discovered that their ID cards had suddenly been revoked and they had become illegal residents in the city and land of their birth.

Rule 3: Gradualism. Expulsion is built one step at a time, as if by chance. Annexation and the expropriation of land. Prohibitions against building in the area that remains. Recruiting God. Intolerable crowding in the houses and astronomical rents. Ignoring drug dealers. Neglecting infrastructure and schools. Increasing the tax burden. Few jobs. Planting professional molesters (aka settlers) in the heart of neighborhoods with security guards surrounding them.

And the main thing: residency status based on the Citizenship and Entry into Israel Law that can expire any moment. As if the Palestinians from Jerusalem had entered Israel and chosen to live under its boot as non-Jewish immigrants. As if Israel hadn’t violently burst into their lives in the city where their mothers’ mothers were born.

Rule 4. Legal support (A). Then-Supreme Court President Aharon Barak and his colleagues, Gabriel Bach and Shoshana Netanyahu, already gave the court’s approval for another mass but latent expulsion. In 1988 they ruled that it was legal to expel a Palestinian born in 1943 in Jerusalem because he also had foreign citizenship. (Mubarak Awad, who accidently also advocated for Palestinian civil disobedience.)

Rule 5. Variety. Don’t stick to one excuse, Mr. President. We successfully rely on a raft of excuses for expelling Palestinians from their land, their homeland, their homes: political (opposition to our rule), administrative (they missed the census or extended their stay abroad), a firing zone, a nature preserve, proximity to the border, proximity to a highway, proximity to an outpost, an archaeological site, state land, rejection of master plans, the separation barrier, building prohibitions, planting professional molesters and security personnel, citations from the Bible.

Rule 6. Legal support (B). Our judges avoid ruling against the policy of unequal zoning and construction for Jews and Arabs.

Rule 7. Scant water supply. Cut back on water, Trump. Rule that every Muslim or Mexican will be eligible for only a quarter or less of the water consumed by an average WASP. Decide that wherever Mexicans or Muslims live will be cut off from the water supply grid. Look at the Jordan Valley. It’s an outstanding tool for thinning out an undesirable population. Trust us.

Rule 8. The support of the elites. Send aides to Israel. They’ll get tips on how routine expulsion activities are greeted by the silence of most of the enlightened educated intelligentsia, the salt of the earth, graduates of the Israel Defense Forces, who nest at the universities and frequent the concert halls. Their compliance is absolutely fantastic.
