Summary

Donald Trump stated that Palestinians displaced by Israel’s military actions would not have a right to return to Gaza under his plan.

Instead, he proposed resettling them in Egypt and Jordan, despite both nations rejecting the idea.

Trump suggested creating permanent refugee communities funded by the U.S., calling Gaza a “real estate development for the future.”

His proposal has drawn condemnation from Arab nations and legal experts, with the UN warning it could constitute ethnic cleansing and violate international law.

Israel’s far-right settlers welcomed the plan.

    Biden’s Gaza policy was tragic, but still, fuck anyone that voted to throw gas onto that fire.

    Guy behind the Muslim ban, with the Christian nationalist base, was always going to make things worse.

      What gas? Biden tried to do ethnic cleansing as well. Biden tried pushing Egypt to accept Israels ethnic cleansing plan behind closed doors and push the Palestinians out of Rafah. Egypt refused.

      Biden helped Israel cleanse the West Bank. Do you believe they have right to return over there?

      Trumps difference is he is saying the quiet part out loud. And all it does is piss off Egypt and Saudi.

    The sheer audacity of treating sovereign territories like Monopoly properties reveals the bankruptcy of modern geopolitics. Trump’s alleged “Gaza swap” proposal – offering Egypt debt relief for absorbing a war-torn enclave – reeks of casino diplomacy where human lives become bargaining chips. This isn’t statecraft, it’s a foreclosure auction on human dignity.

    Egypt’s immediate rejection proves even authoritarian regimes recognize some lines shouldn’t be crossed. But the real tragedy lies in normalizing this billionaire’s mentality that every crisis is a leveraged buyout opportunity. From the Abraham Accords to this Gaza garage sale, it’s all about transactional trophy deals while ignoring root causes.

    The Mediterranean doesn’t need another real estate mogul playing Risk with refugee camps. This isn’t solving conflict – it’s outsourcing oppression through financial blackmail. The message is clear: human rights have become adjustable-rate mortgages in the hands of dealmakers.

    Friendly reminder: The crescendo of the first six months of project 2025 is using civil unrest to deploy the US Military as a domestic police force. The accompanying suspension of habeus corpus is absolutely needed for them to turn up the heat even more.

    They’re laying the groundwork for defanging the judicial branch as we speak - it’s their last obstacle.

    From https://constitutioncenter.org/the-constitution/articles/article-i/clauses/763 (emphasis mine):

    "The Suspension Clause protects liberty by protecting the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus. It provides that the federal government may not suspend this privilege except in extraordinary circumstances: when a rebellion or invasion occurs and the public safety requires it. "

    Long story short, when people are hungry and broke and without a place to live, they become desperate, but then when you do something that really makes them angry. They stop being desperate and they start becoming violent. Not just people in the Middle East mind you I’m talking all people from British colonists to French students yelling about revolution all the way down to Germans, who survived the World War I only to see part of their country, giving away the treaty of Versailles. 

     Donald Trump‘s plan is just asking for further acts of terrorism against America and our interest overseas

    I feel sorry for any service member who is killed because Donald Trump wants to build another hotel that will inevitably go bankrupt

    The real lesson of trump: you can get away with anything after you’ve conditioned your victims enough.

    I read recently that all conservatism is is “I’m a good person and anyone who says otherwise deserved whatever I did to them.”

    Pretty sure this is how it all started in the 1930s.

          I voted for Harris, but I also recognize the great value of people refusing to vote for a Democratic candidate when they move too far to the right. If there is no consequence for drifting right, the candidates will continue to do so.

          The whole “preserve democracy” thing sounds good if you don’t think about it too hard, but it doesn’t hold up to scrutiny. The Biden/Harris team proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that they weren’t capable of defending democracy. Nominating Garland proved that. The dems pathetic response to Trump’s current lawlessness has proven that.

          You can’t “defend democracy” just by saying the words “defend democracy.” You actually have to do it. And they proved that they were either unwilling or incapable of actually defending democracy. That’s why that talking point so fell flat.

          But the Palestinian people didn’t vote for Kamala. That is like saying, us sophisticated Kamala genocide fans are smarter than you Palestinians & know what is best for you. So I ask again why do you not respect the Palestinians & what they wanted?

              The Palestinian people who are not US citizens do not get a vote at all.

              Here you assume that there are no Palestinian Americans, very racist.

              Those that are US citizens chose to throw away their vote so they’re in the same camp as those who are not US citizens.

              Here you claim that Palestinians that didn’t vote for Kamala are US citizens, but you don’t consider them to be US citizens… more racism.

              Palestinian people who were US citizens chose the worse of the two options

              Here you claim that Palestinians don’t know what is best for them, which is more racism.

              the Palestinian people who were not US citizens had a vote here

              More racism by you attempting to claim that there aren’t Palestinian Americans.

              They do not have enough power, militaristicly speaking, to have autonomy over their own region, and are unfortunately at the mercy of Israel and their close allies (e.g. the USA right now), to control their fate/future.

              Weird how you could have voted for someone else that didn’t support genocide & unconditional support of Israel, which would have given them more autonomy but you chose not to.

              Palestinian Americans and allies who could have voted and chosen a less evil/less terrible path ahead, and they flubbed things in the name of making a point

              Weird how you claim to always know what is best for them. Just like the white man always knows what is best for African Americans. Very racist of you.

      Biden suggests to move Palestinian to Egypt and Jordan as early as October 2023. So did previous US administration it goes back to 80s.

      Saying the quite part out load is what is different now and the Democrats pretend they are upset while Both Kamala and Biden saying their proud Zionist.

      What is now different is that Trump want the place for himself not for Israel nor the US.

    Mexico is currently building the deepest hole in the world!

    It’s part of the plan to toss all my fellow Mexicans in the hole, then we’ll rename the Mexican Riviera to the American Riviera. The Yucatán peninsula will now be “Extraflorida” or southflorida.

    Yeah, I see where all this is going. Eventually well have east America … Land rich in diamonds.
