The Great White Father in Washington has spoken. Let mere mortals hark and obey.
Gaza is a ‘mess’ said President Trump and must be ‘cleaned up.’ 2.1 million human refuse are befouling this potentially prime beachside property. `We just clean out that whole thing’ quoth the Great Developer.
Trump said the answer to this thorny problem is to move all these Palestinian refugees to neighboring Egypt and Jordan. Voila! Problem solved!
Why didn’t the world think of this earlier? Small problem: Egypt, has 107.5 million people crammed into a fertile area the size of the small US state of Maryland. Overpopulated Egypt is so crowded that its people have taken up camping in cemeteries.
Egypt can’t feed its people without millions in US aid delivered through a network of corrupt suppliers. Trump had nothing to say about the corrupt former chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Robert Menendez, who took large bribes for decades from the Egyptian government – and possibly from others such as Ukraine and Israel.
Egypt is one of this world’s most rigid dictatorships. But you never hear about this in the tame western media. Cairo worked hand in glove with Israel in keeping Palestinians caged up in the Gaza open air prison. Egypt’s military regime rightly feared that Palestinians would infect Egypt with ideas of democracy or Islamic government. Egypt is the Arab world’s most populous country. Cairo’s military rulers don’t want any revolutionary, trouble-making Palestinians.
The same applies to Jordan’s royal regime. Its former prince, Hassan, was elbowed out of the succession to the Hashemite throne because the US and Israel considered him too pro-Palestinian. The more amenable and charming Abdullah II was made king.
Tiny Jordan, carved out of the Arabian desert by the British Imperialists after World War I, is already at least 60% Palestinians, ruled over by the crack Jordanian Army. Jordan is a decent, well-run nation but it too cannot absorb any more Palestinians. Neighboring Lebanon faces a similar problem.
All these irksome Palestinians did not come from the moon. They were created when Israel ethnically cleansed what’s now Northern Israel and bulldozed flat its former Arab villages. Gaza was created as a giant open-air prison camp for Palestinian refugees, whose very existence was denied by Israel.
Here’s an idea! Dear President Trump. Why not move the 2.1 million homeless Palestinian refugees to your Mar-a-Lago estate and its surroundings. Throw in Tampa and Lauderdale. Then you can green light your son-in-law Jared Kushner to turn the lovely Gaza coast – now unpopulated – into a new Miami. It’s so simple.

Who started the war? Why blame Israel?
I wonder how far this rogue state can decline. I think this is just the beginning.
The genocide happening right now in Gaza and the complicity of the so call freedom law and order West leaves me beyond sick. This outrage must hang like an albatross around the necks of us all .
There’s actually a much easier solution given the fact nearly one million Israel’s have fled Israel and are not returning. Hence there being more than ample housing for the Palestinians while they begin the rebuilding of Gaza for their return.
Then of course there’s also the West Bank – “We just clean out that whole thing” there are at least 196 Israeli illegal outposts in the West Bank. Over a half million Israeli settlers live in the West Bank excluding East Jerusalem, there’s an additional 220,000 Jewish settlers residing in East Jerusalem.
Problem solved.
Funny how things change; the US is complicit in the Gaza genocide. This might just be the beginning of this rogue state.
Namaskar! At least Trump spoke boldly about relocating the Palestinians from Gaza. Trump’s idea of relocating the Palestinians is worth considering. Considering the pathetic situation of Gaza its proper for the Islamic countries share the burden of the poor Palestinians. From 1948 till 1967 Gaza and West Bank were ruled by Egypt and Jordan respectively, yet no state of Palestine was initiated by both the countries. Besides Egypt and Jordan, Iran should be included in the list, Iran should give its helping hand to to the relocation since its supported Hezbollah, Hamas and Islamic Jihadist movements.
