Trump’s proposal has no funding or approval of any country but Israel. And it would put US troops in a war zone. 
In a video announcement with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump says “The US will take over the Gaza strip and we will do a job with it too. And we will own it.“
Here’s another video worth watching: President Trump says the Gaza Strip will become the “Riviera of the Middle East” just minutes after saying the U.S. would “take over” the Strip.
Please consider Trump says ‘US will take over the Gaza Strip’ — after relocating ‘all’ Palestinians
President Trump proposed a US takeover of the Gaza Strip Tuesday — shortly after proposing removing “all” Palestinians living there.
“The US will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it too,” Trump said at a press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“We’ll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site, level the site, and get rid of the destroyed buildings — level it out and create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area.”
Trump said that the roughly 2 million Gaza Strip residents would be relocated to neighboring countries.
“Just can’t go back. If you go back, it’s going to end up the same way it has for 100 years,” he said at the press conference.
Five Problems
- Trump said he would deploy US troops to the territory “if it’s necessary.” Well, it would be necessary.
- Egypt, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan all disagree. They do not want Palestinians and the associated violence.
- The US does not want Palestinian refugees. Nor does Israel. Nor does the EU.
- The Palestinians do not want to be forcibly be removed and no country wants them anyway.
- There is no funding for Trump’s proposed military operation or cleanup operation.
Arab Countries Reject Trump Proposal
Fox News reports Arab countries reject Trump proposal to move Palestinians from Gaza into Egypt and Jordan
The foreign ministers of Qatar, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt, as well as the Secretary-General of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Secretary-General of the League of Arab States met in Cairo, Egypt, on Saturday, and released a joint statement afterward detailing matters that the leadership of the powerful Arab countries agreed upon.
Their agreements included “expressing the continued full support for the steadfastness of the Palestinian people on their land and their adherence to their legitimate rights under international law.” The statement said the officials “affirmed their rejection of any violation of these inalienable rights, whether through settlement activities, the expulsion and demolition of homes, land annexation, or the displacement of Palestinians from their land.”
“They also rejected any efforts to encourage the transfer or uprooting of Palestinians from their land, under any circumstances or justifications,” the statement, released in English by the Qatari government, said. “Such actions, they noted, threaten regional stability, exacerbate the conflict, and undermine the prospects for peace and coexistence among the region’s peoples.”
“I’d like Egypt to take people,” Trump said. “You’re talking about probably a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing and say, ‘You know, it’s over.’”
“It’s literally a demolition site right now. Almost everything’s demolished, and people are dying there,” Trump said of the destruction caused by the 15-month war. “So, I’d rather get involved with some of the Arab nations, and build housing in a different location, where they can maybe live in peace for a change.”
Last week, President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi said the transfer of Palestinians from Gaza “can’t ever be tolerated or allowed.”
“The solution to this issue is the two-state solution. It is the establishment of a Palestinian state,” he reportedly said at a news conference. “The solution is not to remove the Palestinian people from their place. No.”
Jordan’s Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi also said that his country’s opposition to Trump’s idea was “firm and unwavering.”
Ready, Fire, Aim
This could easily take months of negotiation in Congress. And so can Trump’s economic agenda which now seems to be on the back border.
But the Gaza strip idea is not going anywhere unless Arab states reconsider their clear position. I view that as unlikely.
No problem; Truck ’em all to Syria as we di di mau, finally, leaving them for the Turks and Kurds and Copts and Russians to sort out or give “em the option of getting dumped in the current West Bank nirvana, formerly Jordan, as the new Gaza beach front destination resort will take two decades to build out given all the below an above ground damage. However, maybe a colder climate with much less population would be more appropriate, like peaceful resource rich Danish Greenland since Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan are out. .
Won’t the Ayatollahs take them? Iran supports Hamas, Hezbollah etc. They support the Palestinians. Sen them to Iran who should welcome them with open arms.
You support the Israelis and criminals….why don’t you offer your country / home / family to them…..I hear they love little goyim .
Trump wants to protect Israel’s borders. Yet he can’t even protect US borders. That’s why he wants Canada and Mexico to help with 10,000 troop each. Because the US can’t seem to guard it’s own borders by itself.
Perhaps in a month’s time he will threaten more tariffs unless Mexico and Canada send 10,000 troops each to Gaza.
“……send 10,000 troops each to Gaza.”
Lol! May as well ask China too.
Its a foot hold that will allow the USA to finally take back Italy. I look forward for a nice 2 week vacation at DisneyWorld Gaza. With a little effort the US could take the entire Mediterean Sea and most of the Sahara.
We’ll need all that sand for all the concrete we’ll have to pour to build the Dams, Highways and Tunnels, not to mention the SkyScrapers and Water Parks.
Its a win-win. Its a small world after all.
Yasser Arafat Mountain ride …
Somebody said Trump lost a lot of his base with this move. Caitlin Johnstone replied:
“No he didn’t. Trump supporters will overwhelmingly support him no matter how bad he is on Gaza or anything else. At most they’ll get mad for a day or two and then come back around when right wing pundits start amplifying some story about a drag queen driving an ice cream truck.” LOL
But what if he never ment it in the first place and just said so, so that all the Arab states would agree on an alternate of their own and Trump could just let them do the job one else wants? (I hope)
Trump says all the words.
Literal babble.
Simple and vile ethnic cleansing. Anyone supporting this should be ashamed.
Of course, but the US did this sort of thing after ww2. There is a precedent.
The US kicked all the people out of Europe before they helped them rebuild?
how else could they do it so fast? I’m pretty sure there is a youtube video. They put everybody up in Malta during construction.
I thought Trump would do good by Israel but this is GREAT! If he can pull this off, he will have single-handedly made it possible for Israel to gain security and peace by expelling the Palestinians not only from Gaza but from the West Bank also. He will certainly deserve the Nobel Peace prize.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuck Israel. Fuuuuuuck Jared with a rusty chainsaw sideways.
Do you feel better now? Your outburst accomplishes nothing though.
Perhaps you can help and offer your country and home to the Israeli rapists and criminals ?
No mention of the sea rights and hydro-carbons adjoining the Gaza strip.
Iran suggested it would be easier to move the American/European settlers from Israel to new housing in Greenland; although people are fond of saying that Israel is the only home for Jewish people, they also have the Jewish Autonomous Oblast in the far East.
a splendid idea, do you know how hard it is to get good rye bread in Greenland?
Most Israeli Jews are from Europe. Maybe London or Paris would be a better fit. Greenland is for the polar bears.
not true. most are descendant from the 900,000 expelled from Arab countries when Israel was formed. The European ones are in Europe because they were expelled by the Romans. last time there wre millions of jews in europe they were actively exterminated. there’s no other Jewish homeland. there are 22 Arab nations, and the historical Palestine was much larger than Israel, and included parts of Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Syria.
How about sending them to Turkey? Turkey has a large territory including lands that they pogromed from Greeks and Armenians last century and parts of southwestern Turkey near the Syrian border are Arab anyways.
As for Egypt taking them, not a chance that a country with 110 million people, a massive water shortage and reliant on the 15 million Egyptians working overseas to send remittances to their relatives to make ends meet want another 2 million fanatics to stir up the mess that Egypt is in.
And Egypt is my home
Saudi Arabia is demanding an independent state for the Palestinians. Well, SA has plenty of unused land. They only have 37 million people living in a large country and a large amount of empty land.
If they believe in a Palestinian state so fervently, then let’s carve a small parcel of land out of SA and move the Palestinians there.
But of course, SA wouldn’t want to transfer any land that might have oil under it. [lol]
The Jews already had a place: the Jewish Autonomous Oblast. Let ‘em all be sent there.
Less than 900 Jews are living in the JAO, which is Siberia, land of the Gulag, brown bears, shamans and hydrocarbons. You should go visit.
Though I like your sentiments there are huge impracticalities to Saudia carving off a chunk of territory. Mainly no water. The Empty Quarter is a hell hole that makes Death Valley look pleasant. They import water indirectly by growing fodder in the US using your underground water resources, lots of fruits and vegetables from Egypt and elsewhere, grains from the West etc.
What about a chunk of Syria? That country is already fragmented and a few million of its inhabitants have left to Europe, Turkey and Egypt so that means they have plenty of vacated areas.
Japan is currently undergoing depopulation via infertility and lack of children. Perhaps Israel could relocate to Haikado ?
Welp all that goodwill Trump had garnered with the young people by his appearances on podcasts, defending TikTok, etc., he just flushed all that right down the toilet in one fell swoop.
Its early, wait until the mid-terms if you want to see media madness. oh my feelings….
Vote for clowns and get a circus.
Never a dull moment since Jan 20 2025. We voted or change and he is exceeding our wildest exectations. MGGA
MAGA not MIGA
If we’re going to level a God-forsaken strip of land, expatriate its inhabitants and rebuild it to something nice, shouldn’t we start with Chicago, Detroit or Baltimore?
America First, right?
Its ethnic cleansing on a mass scale. The Gazans have every right to be there. This evil needs to end.
There’s no more example of satanic gaslighting then bombings people homes to hell and then pretending to offer in the spirit of ‘caring’ to move them so you can ‘rebuild’.
All the Israelis and their allies do truly has a satanic spirit to it.
How bout systematic gang rape and killing of babies and elderly during a military raid. What kind of spirit is that? That precipitated the anticipated retaliatory strike that any rational nation would do to protect its people and root out the war criminals. But the perpetrators, of course, hid in tunnels under apartment buildings and hospitals like the cowards they are. And that’s where we are today…
Do you mean the ones that began in the 1930’s or the 1940’s??
Israelis have massacred, lied and murdered to steal that land, and this is a continuation. A short and selective memory is what enables this crime of the last 60 years.
‘Systematic gang rape and killing of babies and elderly during a military raid’.
Oh, and Israelis did that too. In the 1940’s, the 1970’s, the 1980’s … YOu know that too right??
Its repugnant watching zionist justify their crimes while literally calling the rest of humanity subhuman.
Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.
We are broke. We can’t help.
In a 55,000-page set of documents the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) is for the first time allowing the public to access data Pfizer submitted to FDA from its clinical trials in support of a Covid-19 vaccine license.
This follows U.S. District Judge Mark T. Pittman’s decision on January 6 to deny the request from the FDA to suppress the data for the next 75 years, which the agency claimed was necessary, in part, because of its “limited resources.”
When Pfizer applied for FDA approval, they were aware of almost 158,000 adverse events. This really does not paint them in a favorable light. And now, a 38-page report features an appendix with a list that says Pfizer’s COVID vaccine has 1,291 side effects.
The list includes acute kidney injury, acute flaccid myelitis, anti-sperm antibody positive, brain stem embolism, brain stem thrombosis, cardiac arrest, cardiac failure, cardiac ventricular thrombosis, cardiogenic shock, central nervous system vasculitis, death neonatal, deep vein thrombosis, encephalitis brain stem, encephalitis hemorrhagic, frontal lobe epilepsy, foaming at mouth, epileptic psychosis, facial paralysis, fetal distress syndrome, gastrointestinal amyloidosis, generalized tonic-clonic seizure, Hashimoto’s encephalopathy, hepatic vascular thrombosis, herpes zoster reactivation, immune-mediated hepatitis, interstitial lung disease, jugular vein embolism, juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, liver injury, low birth weight, multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, myocarditis, neonatal seizure, pancreatitis, pneumonia, stillbirth, tachycardia, temporal lobe epilepsy, testicular autoimmunity, thrombotic cerebral infarction, Type 1 diabetes mellitus, venous thrombosis neonatal, and vertebral artery thrombosis among 1,246 other medical conditions following vaccination.

You just can’t stay on topic.
I had to interrupt the topic with BREAKING NEWS.
Breaking Bad… News…
For the vaxxed…
I am on the island of Koh Samui at a fitness retreat for a month… the ambulances never stop … I must have passed 10 on the road in the first two weeks alone… and I have heard a few early in the morning (they wake me up).
Everyone is vaxxed here… it’s a shit show
Try the Salmon, I hear its great…
drip, drip, drip…………… wrong topic again.
Don’t you get bored posting this drivel.
Take up a hobby, stamp collecting or similar
Just want the Vaxxed to understand that when they drop with an injury… that it was not bad luck…
It was the Vax. At least you now have a reference… so when it happens you can check…
most people don’t want to know. like all things in life, it will continue to happen til it can’t be ignored and then the chorus of “nobody told me” begins…
One frequently wonders if the ShitShow in DC is just media cover, so no one wonders why they had to roll up their arms for a mystery juice shot, and why so many are so sick with so many mystery ailments not normally seen in people of their age groups.
I miss the free donuts and the open freeways and the opening broadcasts with the current death toll. the fear was palpable.
We reap the wind.
It’s not over… something is brewing in the bodies of the Vaxxed…
I follow the NHL and never have I seen so many games missed due to flu… due to taking vaccines that damage the immune system…
Why so many turbo cancers? Cuz the immune systems are damaged…
3rd February 2025 – (Tokyo) A nationwide influenza outbreak of staggering magnitude has brought this island nation to its knees, shattering all recorded case data and leaving a wake of overwhelmed hospitals, scarce medical supplies, and tragically, fatalities. The untimely death of Taiwanese actress Barbie Hsu from flu complications at just 48 years old highlights the severity of the virus’s impact. https://www.dimsumdaily.hk/panic-grips-japan-as-deadly-flu-outbreak-rages-a-warning-for-travellers/
War crime.
Easy Fix! Since all Palestinians have Arab roots-just load them all up in transport planes and drop them down into most rich Arab countries, start with Qatar, Quwait, UAE, Saudi Arabia etc…
most all jews are arab or russian/asian maybe we can move them to a more traditional homeland rather than a Rothschild real estate development like the Balfour agreement.
By that criteria you can forcibly resettle all descendants of white European settlers from the USA and repatriate them back to their respective origins , restoring the USA to its original settler, Native Americans.
So the people that bragged how the US wasn’t involved in wars in 2016-2020 and Trump was going to end all wars on day one now wants to invade/attack Somalia, Palestine, Greenland, Canada, Panama, Mexico, Colombia but it’s only been a few weeks since he got into office so I expect more nonsense in a few days.
He’s also announced tariffs on the EU too, may as well invade the EU.
This clearly isn’t the same Trump from 2016-2020. His actions are increasingly concerning.
Early onset dementia, elderly male babbling drivel, we saw it with the last occupant of the white haus too.
“He’s also announced tariffs on the EU too, may as well invade the EU.”
You are saying it like that is a bad thing because you clearly have no idea what is like to be a subject of this evil dystopian globalist monster and how many of us are praying for Trump to wreck it and give us back our freedom.
And if by some miracle he also ends the criminal enterprise called NATO and closes US bases in Europe (my homecountry, Italy, is still an occupied country 80 years after the end of WWII and after many decades of being a close friend and ally of the US) he will be remembered and cherished by many of us as the greatest US President ever…
Monkey, I could quibble with some of your characterizations, but I gave you a thumbs up because I’m so pissed at Trump.
Funny isn’t it a focus for your anger, a distraction to limit reaction. Maybe its the old magician’s trick, distraction. look around you at what’s not being reported, there probably lies the truth.
Clinker Stinker of an idea. We have plenty of challenges in the U.S.A. and this foreign policy adventure has great potential to be a black hole of such intensity its gravity will suck much oxygen out of Trumpworld. Let Bibi deal with his problem. Then again a Las Vegas donor who put a ton of cash into his campaign probably had a different plan?
You get what you voted for.
i bet 100$ trump won’t find Gaza strip or Israel for that matter on world map W/OUT LABELS!
I bet 1000$ he wont find Taiwan on map !
he is just a monkey that throws a sh11it to the wall, hoping some stick
alx
This is simply ethnic cleansing, equal to genocide according to all internationally approved legal texts on the subject. A shame for the USA. What have the Democrats to say about this? Also afraid of the Jewish lobby and fearful for their political careers? Sad.
Hey, if China and Russia can do ethnic cleansing, why can’t the USA?
You can see Trumps real estate developer mind at work. Probably augmented by whispers from his evil son-in-law. But of course the Palestinians are not going to leave except by force.
Is the US going to kill them all? That would be insane
My guess is one of the big things Netanyahu was here for was to prevent the release of any JFK murder documents implicating Mossad
Where is the release of those documents anyway?
It is a literal crime against humanity to forcibly relocate populations.
But it is the closest thing to an actual solution anyone has proposed.
stalin did in 20th century. not once.
actually by the end of his life in 1950xx he wanted move je11ws
in USSR into one place but he died.
This is seriously fucked up. MAGA not MIGA.
When Miriam Adelson gave $100 million to Trump’s campaign she expects results.
Miriam Adelson is a Palestinian.
and damn sexy too..
Does he want to build hotels there?
This is the right comment. Always run any Trump statement through “how does he benefit?”
Sounds like another Trail of Tears. Except this time they have nowhere to go.
Not true…

Trump says “US Will Take Over the Gaza Strip and Relocate All Palestinians”
Mr. Mish, how much is this going to cost? I just want to know so I know how many more years I am going to need to work to pay for all the inflation and higher taxes.
i bet trump wants surrounding countries pay for that
We are going to trim $2 trillion from our budget. We will have plenty of extra money!
What I see is a man who wants to fister peace. What I also see are Arab nations who speak in favor of the Palestinians but do not directly criticize how we got here nor want them in their own homeland. For me, their voices speak volumes. If you are not part of the solution, you are PART OF THE PROBLEM.
Our President is a pragmatist and wants the ME to be a safer place.
Ok Marc with a “c”
Like pretty much everyone else here I think this is a very bad idea.
Even if we set aside the idea of relocating the people of Gaza, there is the question of the money required to rebuild the area. There is no money for it given there are countless things that need money here in America (eg. 50 sq miles of LA just burned to the ground. That’s only 1/3 the size of Gaza and yet we aren’t sure where the money for that is coming from).
Mr President you campaigned on the the idea of America first. So the rebuilding America HAS to be a priority over rebuilding Gaza or anywhere else.
Hey, Kushner Heights isn’t going to build itself.
Funny. But having been to Gaza I’d point out that there are no high points to speak of. Maybe Kushner Bay or Jared Beach?
As for funding nations like Qatar funded Hamas so maybe they can fund the relocation? Though who wants to import fanatics who train little kids to kill the infidel? And with these fanatics the infidel includes other muslims who do not support their particular Salafist interpretation which would include all the rulers of the Gulf States. Nobody wants them, that’s the main problem.
“…there is the question of the money required to rebuild the area.”
In the United States of Israel we are just the tax cattle, so you better get back to work to pay for all the taxes and inflation.
Trump is the puppet Netanyahu is the ventriloquist he’s doing the wish of his money Masters the Jewish Lobby
Let’s be honest. This is the United States of Israel, no matter who is POTUS.
Trump has that scuzzy son in law Jared, and Kamala has her husband who impregnated the nanny and whose daughter thinks she’s a boy. Jared might be the antichrist, so he’s worse.
Sounds crazy on the surface but then again I’m not a multi billionaire whose been elected president three times.
Nice finish TenYear!
Let’s see what happens when the body bags come back at Andrews Air Force base, with Manicula saluting their arrival.
I call him Manicula, because Trump is our version of Caligula.
perhaps creating words is not your strong point..
What a morally despicable plan. That’s their home and their ancestors’ homes.
This is just a really dumb idea. Trump had been rolling along pretty impressively but this is just asinine. Hello Beirut….
Dump them in LA? They should feel right at home….
Understand Newsom and Obama have several mansions…I am sure they will take some in out of the goodness of their hearts.
the northern counties of California have been devasted by loss of marijuana growing since the legalization. there’s lots of fine land and lumber to build new homes. maybe we could move Palestine to N,Calif and Israel to Southern Oregon and the wars can continue where we can keep an eye on things and throw some cold water of them whenever they get out of hand like always..

To put it succinctly, the so called two state solution is a pig in a poke. But no one will say it. Trump just did. Where are all those Dems with their re-imagining? Turning all Gazans into transgender Marxists is not a plan either.

I saw Trump’s press conference where he said America would take over and develop Gaza. Given the level of conflict in the Middle East….why would Trump want to put Americans into that violent, political and religious mess? Gaza is a failed state and there’s something to be said for moving the Gazans to a nearby Arab country that is a success, but who would take them? Given the history of Gaza, no country would want terrorists and violent factions inside their country. Most Arab countries, maybe all Arab countries don’t want to import trouble and violence. Trump has spoken about taking over the Panama Canal, Greenland, Canada and now Gaza. These are all terrible ideas but putting Americans into Gaza is a risk not worth taking and the worst idea of them all. Nor do I want America on the financial hook to develop Gaza, which is now a hellscape and failed state. Who knows what rebuilding Gaza would cost? Congress would never approve such a plan.
“Gaza is a failed state and there’s something to be said for moving the Gazans to a nearby Arab country that is a success, but who would take them? Given the history of Gaza, no country would want terrorists and violent factions inside their country.”
If Gaza is a failed state, it is because Israel blockades all exports, imports, and won’t allow sea or airports. Much like the West Bank, Israel takes most of its water for Israeli agriculture, won’t allow Palestinians to build anything, and subsidizes illegal construction by Israelis in Palestine. If Palestinians are violent, it is in reaction to Israel oppression, violence and Israeli incremental takeover of Palestine (1967 borders).
Israel is the aggressor. Fix that and you might stumble on a solution. Denial and projection won’t get you there.
Putting aside that Gaza enjoys a long border with their fellow Muslim country, Egypt, and may bring anything in or out of Gaza, Israel did not block exports or imports. Israel tried to block entry of cement, after determining that more cement was being imported then could be used for the amount of above ground construction Israel observed (Obviously this was used in the hundreds of miles of terror tunnels). But, Pres. Obama forced Israel to let the cement in. Some blockade, the Palestinians brought in at least 24,000 missiles (that is what the fired at Israel since 10/7/23), thousands of missile launchers, thousands of tons of RPG’s, anti-tank rockets, grenades and other explosives, thousands of tons for military equipment, including communications, observation, rifles, tens of thousands of tons of ammunition, Military clothing (including those green headbands), helmets, body armor, tactical glasses, equipment belts and vests; plus all the new white pick-up trucks with machine guns attached to the rear beds, and the ammunition. If there was a blockade, it was the most porous in history.
Gaza has an airport – it is just not functional. Israel offered to build Gaza a port and the offer was declined. The Palestinians had more than enough aid to build their own port, but prioritized building hundreds of miles of underground tunnels and acquiring military hardware.
There is an aquafer under Gaza that could easily supply more water than the Palestinians could use, but it was not maintained and much of the water is fouled. Before 10/7, Israel supplied Gaza with water (and electricity) for free. This is over now.
Suggesting that Israel, prevented Gazans from building anything, is just silly, unless all the rubble we see on TV was dropped in by weather balloons.
If the Arabs had not attacked Israel in 1967, no land would have been lost to anyone – but most Palestinians would be living in Egypt or Jordan today.
But go ahead Three Blind Mice and keep spouting the usual fairy tales. It has worked out so well for the Palestinians.
This is “VIETNAM MOMENT”.
US invaded Vietnam after French.
Miserably failed and fail again.
the CIA needed an exercize area to test their equipment, methods and theories and also to develop opium poppy farms in Laos and Cambodia, it was South Eastern Asia base of operations, and it was a CIA success and an American failure.
Never confuse CIA interest and American interests, they are mutually exclusive.
Trump should consider going on a 30 day Meditation Retreat. He can’t see or hear from the outside world for 30 days and the rest of us won’t hear from him. Can the Donald give us 30 days of peace? Gaza can wait for 30 days.
He should take a dirt nap and spare the world.
When offered a choice between war and peace, the Palestinians have always opted for war. Hamas has already announced they are gearing up for the next war against Israel. No one is going to invest in rebuilding Gaza with Hamas still in charge. So, the choice presented is get a free brand-new house in Egypt or Jordan and live in peace or stay in Gaza as is. I expect the Palestinians who stay in Gaza will enjoy their tents – because that is their future as things stand.
As long as Israel occupies the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem, they are the aggressors; Palestinians have every legal and moral right to attack Israel. Is that what you mean by “opted for war”? Yes, they are fighting for their land.
Oh please. Before the 1967 war The West Bank and Gaza was controlled by muslims in Egypt and Jordan(where the 90% of palestinians that wanted peace and got their land there) The other 10% died 40 years ago and this is their kids grandkids and even great grandkids imprisoned at much by hamas as all the muslim countries as much as Israel so go cry a river some _ucking other place pal…. You are probably to young and ignorant to even understand that……….And now their Gazans??? Hamas has taken probably 100 billion dollars and what do you have to show for it? Tunnels that are better than our NYC subway tunnels, missiles and oh, caviar and prostitutes for your hamas leaders giving orders from Qatar.. Seriously pal you are so _ucking clueless
Are you saying that Israel isn’t illegally occupying Palestine? Or that Israel didn’t kick Palestinians from their homes and kept their homes in Israel proper? Let’s stay on topic.
What evidence do you have Israel kicked Palestinians from their homes?
Yes, Israel isn’t illegally occupying what was formerly called Palestine.
The UN partitioning in 1948 gave Israel the land it occupies. At that time, all Arabs (nee now called “Palestinians”) were given the opportunity to become Israeli citizens with the same exact rights that the Jews had. 20% accepted. The remainder refused and called themselves refugees, refusing to move.
In response, instead of forcing these left-over Arabs to move, the bleeding heart UN created an agency to support these “refugees” called the UNRWA. It was only supposed to exist for a maximum of a generation until the then current Arabs died out. But UNRWA didn’t go away and instead turned its mission into something that passed from generation to generation as the Palestinian birthrate exploded.
It’s finally time for the left-over Palestinians in Israel territory to move.
Europe colonised the Middle East and broke up ethnic communities.
When they got tired of have colonies they tried to solve their jewish ‘problem’ by sending them to Palestine to dispossess the locals and set up a western enclave.
But yea it’s all the locals fault.
Whose land was occupied? Israel originally captured Gaza in 1967, from Egypt, after Egypt participated in yet another war against Israel. Later, Egypt signed a peace treaty with Israel stipulating that Israel may keep Gaza (Egypt recovered the Sinai Peninsula).Israel left Gaza to the Palestinians in 2004, and have not “occupied” the area since.
In the 2003 Oslo accords, the West Bank was divided into areas A, B and C. Areas A and B, where most of the Arabs live, is ruled the Palestian Authority – duly elected by the Palestinians roughly 20 years ago. Area C is ruled by Israel. This area was captured from Jordan, who later signed a peace treaty with Israel and ceded this area to Israel. Jews were the majority in East Jerusalem until they were ethnically cleansed by Jordan in 1948. Israel recaptured East Jerusalem in 1967, after being attacked by Jordan, and after the Jordanian army was nearly decimated until they retreated.
What right do Palestinians have to any of this land? Israel, with Bill Clinton’s mediation, did offer the Palestinians 97.5 percent of the West Bank, plus land swaps from Israel to get them the equivalent of 100% of the land, with East Jerusalem as their Capitol. The Palestinians, through their leader, Yassar Arafat, turned the deal down flat – no counter-offer. Afterward, Arafat explained that in exchange the Jews wanted a cessation of all hostilities and, according to Arafat, no Arab leader would agree to that (since proved to be 100% accurate). So, no, the Palestinians have no legal or moral right to this land. You are correct that the Palestinians always want war – since 1920 that has been the case. I trust the Palestinians enjoy their tents in Gaza, as that is where they will live for the foreseeable future.
the entire mideast needs a nice HOA. That would allow them to focus their angers upon the Home Owners Association, and not each other. Much like America has learned to do.
A good HOA could have them so busy getting into accordance with the bylaws, they’d have no time for war or hate.
You should print that on a sign and go marching with it wherever you live. Then you’ll see how few give a crap.
I wonder what the moral answer is in all this……again why are we even bothering with it.
The US funds Israel. It could tell Israel to get off Palestinian land and stop blocking their state. It could withhold the weaponry being used to kill tens of thousands of Palestinians and destroy every standing building in Gaza. The US could also be the 145th country to recognize Palestinian statehood, following recent European acknowledgements. It should exercise the leverage it has to force Israel to behave morally and conform to international law. That would be the moral answer.
Yes, the USA could withhold weaponry from Israel. But then, Israel could easily use its reported nuclear arsenal to defend herself. Not a bad idea considering a single missile would solve all the problems.
apparently you have never heard of mutual assured destruction. MAD…
look it up.. or watch Dr.Strangelove…
There are no good ideas for Gaza, just varying degrees of bad ones. Thank the Gazans themselves for enabling Hamas. Nice job, morons. Not even your Arab brothers want anything to do with you. Egypt built an impenetrable wall to keep you out.
That said, if we follow Trump’s pattern of saying something and that being the opening salvo of a negotiation, it’s not yet known what the end goal is. I hope it’s not this. I’m not sure what the ‘best’ idea is.
Yes, Gazans should be relocated to US and EU. Both Trump and Gazans will be happy.
Just send the 12 year olds. Central and South America will eventually stop sending the kids. We need the kids!
Will they all fit in Guantanamo? Tropical paradise …
Probably the hardcore Hamas supporters would.
Did you see where El Salvador said they would take our really bad illegals and house them in the mega-hard core jail?
Yes and at a fraction of the cost of housing prisoners here in America.
It’s a huge win-win and Trump needs to seriously consider it.
Yes, excellent idea! Here is a story about El Salvador prisons:
Guatemala would be better, its farther away from contintenal USA, and the weather is nice all year long. course the earthquake and mosquitos could be a problem, every paradise comes with a little bit of hell.
I forget the guy’s name but a Jewish Zionist in the late 1800s was making the rounds of European courts to try and find a site for a Jewish State, proto Israel. I think they picked the Congo or somewhere similar in Africa, but the backing for it fell through.
