THE UGLY AMERICAN HAS RETURNED!!! – This time more arrogant, cruel, stupid, corrupt, and crazy – and – totally uncaring about what the PEOPLE OF GAZA want.
Unable – so far – to conquer the Panama Canal, to buy Greenland, to make Canada the 51st state, to lower the costs of American’s food “on day 1”!!!!!!!!, to follow the Constitution and numerous American laws; the “winner” of the 2024 election with 49.9% of votes – NOW proposes America can “solve” the problem of 2 million Gazans – recently bombed back to the Stone Age, by, is it permanently?, or, “temporarily?, forcing theses innocent, traumatized people to leave their homeland for someplace else – with little or no money, no jobs, no housing, few if any possessions. – SO. – America can create a brand new Middle East “tourist area” in WHAT. USED. TO. BE. THEIR. HOMES ??????? Typical Donald Trump “thinking” – “temporary’ pain for somebody else.
Maybe somebody can think of it – but – has ANY American president EVER suggested such a CRUEL, STUPID. plan? Leaving aside other issues – de-stabilization of the entire Middle East; no surrounding countries accept this; WHERE are 2 million displaced, poverty-stricken people going to live; Where do they get FOOD & WATER; how do they find JOBS; WHO will establish SCHOOLS for their children; – what normal human being, in the face of immense tragedy and suffering already inflicted on Gazans, would even jokingly – suggest such CRUEL, STUPID, UNCARING ‘plan”?
According to “Trump suggests U.S. ‘ownership” of rebuilt Gaza [A.Madhani, T.Goldenberg, Z.Miller; Assoc. Press; 2/5/25]: Trump’s top aides said a 3-5 year reconstruction timeline as currently discussed “is not viable.”
SO – WHERE do 2 million Gazans live for over 5 years, if not in THEIR. OWN. HOMELAND ????????
“…asked in an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier that aired Monday if Palestinians in Gaza would have a right to return to the territory under his [Trump’s] plan, h replied, “No they wouldn’t.” [“Trump is envisioning Gaza as a ‘tourist area”; Z.Miller, C.Megerian, W.Weissert; Assoc. press; 2/12/25]
UGLY THOUGHT: is the Trump-Musk dictatorship working with Israel’s Netanyahu and Israel’s Far Right to implement a secret nefarious plan to ethnically cleanse ALL Palestinians out of their ancient homelands – so Israel can occupy Gaza and the West Bank, merge them with current Israel? Remember – there are now about 500,000 Israelis illegally [under both international & Israeli law] living in the West Bank. Remember MANY suggestions, given documents, that THIS has been an unofficial policy goal of Israel.
The above is troubling for many reasons – number one being that honest, fair-minded, objective experts have LONG SAID that THERE. WILL. BE. NO. PEACE. IN THE MIDDLE. EAST. without a ‘TWO STATE’ solution – a secure Israel and a recognized Palestinian state.
Somehow – Gaza, without real Palestinians, as a “tourist area” – does NOT seem to be a serious, long-term solution to the current tragedy, nor events of many decades
Somehow – this sounds like evicting all real Venicians from Venice and declaring ti a “tourist area”; like evicting all the real people of Paris and declaring it a “tourist area’; evicting all the real people of………………………..
