What an awesome idea. Cleanse the land. Build beach resorts and casinos

Hamas are absolute clowns. They soon won’t even have land ahaha. Love a bit of justice in this world.

Trump: US will ‘take over’ Gaza, level it and create ‘the Riviera of the Middle East’. Permanently relocating the coastal enclave’s entire population.

[arista]

Problem is
the People and Leaders
of Gaza refuse to leave.

[Nicky91]

congratulations (sarcasm) to those deluded MAGA supporters who voted for this orange moron hitler 2.0 in that huge majority

:facepalm:


USA sinking to new lows by the day it seems :skull:



Orban, Putin, Trump, the world is really returning to the 19th century



what a sad day for the world :(


those poor people of Gaza :sad:



at least Itahar Ben-Gvir knew he ****** up and resigned, while Netanyahu, Sa'ar continue to be stuck up and believing their mission is the only good cause and now they have the orange baby on their side as well :idc:




let us see what USA turned into, Nazi-America (mass deportations of illegal migrants from the us, a death camp created out of guantanamo bay, and now this)

:yuk:




Stay Strong people of gaza :hug:

President Trump is just wanting to "take Control" of lots of things that aren't his

[user104658]

This has nowt to do with Hamas or even Israel - a large enclave/colony (essentially) right on the edge of the Mediterranean as a gateway to the Middle East is a dream come true for the US. Just look at it on a map. You couldn't design a more blatant foothold.

I would also caution that Israel should be VERY wary of this -- if the US was to officially take and hold Gaza as territory, it massively impacts/limits what has traditionally been a very significant "strategic usefulness" of Israel itself. They don't need a proxy (ahem, excuse me, "a very close military and strategic partnership") if they can permanently hold a large military presence in Gaza on "their own" land.

no trouble came from that, right just 9/11 but whose paying attention

Do you think before you type?
Isreal will still be very useful for the US to have as an ally
the US wont want Gaza being all alone and the new Israel
Israel will be a buffer state at very least and recieve certainly more protection than currently given the US will be even more invested in the region.

He wants to Rebuild Gaza.


But the Locals will not leave

Will he bring in the diggers via the sea
to rebuild is unanswered

It's not his to rebuild, why should locals leave like some foreign leader wants them too? This is mental

No new boots on the ground, eh?

[Crimson Dynamo]

It was a stunning act of political leadership aimed at bursting the bubble of decades of intransigence and denial. He will now meet with Egypt and Jordan to see if he can persuade them to change their stance on taking the displaced population

Trump has shown little inclination to form strong alliances, you might be right but it wouldn't be long before "Hey, how about Israel becomes a state?" starts floating around. They sold a story about MAGA isolationism, but every move they make is expansionist, not isolationist.

[user104658]

:shrug: regardless of outcome it seems like a clear indication that the whole ordeal has indeed been a planned genocide, and given that it started under Biden and is continuing under Trump, it was one that's been orchestrated at a level that goes beyond either of them.

People often fail to remember that genocide can refer simply to deliberately displacing a population from an area - it doesn't inherently mean wiping them out or killing them. Just removing them by any means necessary. That is what has been done.

[Crimson Dynamo]

I understand if will alarm those who are happy with the status quo. Unfortunately that can't continue.

[Nicky91]

peace in the middle east?


never surrender to the disgusting USA





from the river to the sea, palestine will be free





Trump lay one greasy fat big finger on gaza, and we will end you

[user104658]

I understand if will alarm those who are happy with the status quo. Unfortunately that can't continue.

It's not even about alarm, just definitions. You can say that it was a necessary genocide - it would be a tough stance to take, but you could argue for it if you believe it - but you can't argue that it wouldn't be a form of genocide. If Gaza is repurposed in the way that's being suggested then it is - by objective definition - a genocide.

[Crimson Dynamo]

It's time for that small area to stop being a launchpad for terrorism and President Trump has put forward a bold new positive plan. The only people who won't benefit are murdering terrorists

[Maru]

I'm somewhat torn, because on one hand I see massively the strategic potential, because it does keep Hamas out and theoretically that could lead to having a stronger Israel, and a stronger Israel is beneficial to us in the West because it can help keep peace in the Middle East. (Again, theoretically.)

But I don't appreciate that our leaders can just walk into places and play Legos with taxpayer money on a whim. I'd rather we rebuild here and focus on becoming a better example for ourselves. For instance, we need to show each other we can heal our own divisions before preaching to others. That said, I don't feel a need to prove anything, but I do very much want to leave a more peaceful future to our children.

defending genocide ain't a good look


i don't care what is beneficial to us in the west, i don't want that sort of blood on my hands, but that Trump is a Hitler wannabe not my problem how deluded President Oompa Loompa is

[user104658]

It's time for that small area to stop being a launchpad for terrorism and President Trump has put forward a bold new positive plan that involves a small amount of genocide. The only people who won't benefit are murdering terrorists

Sure if you hold that opinion but the bit in bold would still be accurate.

[bots]

it would put an american sovereign region within direct range of attack by iran. I don't see that as a situation that would improve world security. We also had terrorist attacks on Tunisia, i can see this shapimg up exactly the same

[arista]

I assume as
he wants them away
from his mate, next door.



Of course, they have every right
to stay in the nation they were born in.

Trump's approach generally seems to be to make an outlandish statement or intention, cause a lot of panic and then negotiate something much more pragmatic. It's just worked with tariffs and it's probably the aim with Greenland and here. It might force the Arab world to be more proactive in building a lasting peace and providing solutions rather than just wash their hands of it.

That's so true and most people can't be arsed what he says anymore and even does. The remaining factions that do heavily attach themselves to media chatter and it's that media that "panics". But I think at this point, they're played for fools and have become tools of the opposition. It's like throwing out food to seek out the vultures who wait to feed... their reaction is too predictable.

[bots]

the thing is, if Trump keeps doing this type of thing, forcing sides to negotiate, it also can lull people into a false sense of security

He also weakens his negotiating position every time he makes grand threats and then settles on more reasonable grounds, because the grand threats will be increasingly dismissed as bluster. His ability to continue this tactic is severely time-limited... or perhaps more worryingly... for it to continue to work, he'd have to "seemingly randomly" follow through on a few grand threats, for no reason other than to have the threats continue to be plausible.

It's obviously a business tactic and one that's been effective for him long-term but the difference is business deals are happening as individual events, so what's worked on one deal can continue to work on other deals.

In this case, the world is watching, and the leaders he'll be negotiating with are not only watching but assessing and analysing.

It's a beautiful stretch of Mediterranean coastline. They could make billions from tourism. But Palestinians would rather live in the dark ages with all their hate.

Yes President Trump has stated
No USA Troops at all.


I am sure that will please Hamas

I wonder what the reaction would be if he offered jobs and homes to the current residents.

I think their reaction would be to say he's a blasphemous infidel and call for his beheading.

Trump gifted a golden pager by Netanyahu to commemorate the devices that blew up
terrorists in Lebanon

Israel orchestrated an attack dubbed 'Operation Grim Beeper' on Hezbollah in
September when they exploded thousands of handheld pagers and walkie-talkies
simultaneously in separate events in Lebanon and Syria.

The attack killed at least 42 people - and at least 12 civilians.
