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?

  • I see Trump has now confirmed that this will be ethnic cleansing as the Palestinians will not be allowed back after he deports them to their new homes:

    US President Donald Trump has said the two million Palestinians who would be resettled in neighbouring countries under his plan to take over and rebuild the Gaza Strip would have no right of return.

    "No, they wouldn't, because they're going to have much better housing," he told Fox News. "I'm talking about building a permanent place for them."

    It is chilling that he is so comfortably blatant about this.

    Today’s ’Haaretz’ reports that Israeli police arrested two lovely people I know and care about. I used to spend much of my free time in this shop when I lived in Jerusalem. It is owned by Arab Palestinians but good customers have always included israeli Jews and Palestinians, along with many oversees visitors and well known british journalists. Rarely would this sort of thing make the news, but the raid and arrest was also reported by the BBC, probably because BBC journalists stay nearby and rely on this shop. Sadly, these sort of raids but worse are happening all over the West Bank, but the Gaza situation deflects attention. I don’t care about sides, I care about human rights abuses.
