Gaza

TheCatWoman

Trump has announced that he thinks all Paletstinians should be moved from Gaza and into neighbouring countries where they can live in nice new modern homes, America will take over Gaza and turn it into a massive resort and it will create lots of jobs and money.

Why should the Palestinians have to give up thier country?

Where would they go? Both Egypt and Jordan have said they can't/won't accept them and why should they, they both have the same pressure with migration the rest of the world has.

Does America intend to fund all these new homes etc and where would they be?

Who would staff all these hotels etc in this new resort?

Where would they live?

Who will profit from this enterprise

Any move to displace the Palestinians would break at least two international treaties, so will Trump be forced to take any notice of the treaties the US has made previously, or does he just intend to ignore them?

Does anyone else think this is a totally stupid idea?

  • Much of the political rhetoric pretends to be under the umbrella of Christianity, Islam or Judaism Just to add something positive of mainstream views on ethnic cleansing, here is part of the editorial from this week’s “The Tablet” which is an international Catholic magazine based in London: 

    The response to President Trump’s straight-faced proposal (“I don’t mean to be cute, I don’t mean to be a wise guy,” he explained) that the US could take over Gaza, decant its population and convert it into a shopping and bathing waterfront development – “the Riviera of the Middle East” – has ranged from Benjamin Netanyahu’s smug smile to a horrified UN secretary general Antonio Guterres warning of the less than cute examples from history of ethnic cleansing. In The Jewish Chronicle today, Jacob Jaffa writes that thousands of Jewish people in the UK who trace their roots to Poland, Russia, Iraq and elsewhere are united by having ancestors who were expelled from their homes after the nation that housed them declared that the land was not theirs. “The 7 October massacres were the latest in a long line of pogroms dating back to the first century, but we should know better than anyone that the answer is not ethnic cleansing.”
