Trump Calls Gaza A ‘big Real Estate Site,’ Reiterating Plan For U.S. Takeover (12708 Views)

President Trump again reiterated his proposal for the United States to take over Gaza, telling reporters on Air Force One on Sunday that the strip of land was “a big real estate site” that the United States was “going to own.”

He also mentioned building “some beautiful sites for the people, the Palestinians, to live in.” The location of such sites was not clear. Mr. Trump has repeatedly suggested that the two million Palestinians from the enclave be relocated.

Mr. Trump’s comments added even more confusion around the proposal, which he first announced last week at a news conference at the White House alongside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel.

The idea has drawn widespread international condemnation, with some critics likening it to ethnic cleansing. The forced deportation or transfer of a civilian population is a violation of international law and a war crime, according to experts.

Top officials in the Trump istration attempted to walk back the president’s comments on Wednesday, a day after he first announced the idea. They insisted President Trump had not committed to sending American troops to Gaza and that any relocation of Palestinians would be temporary.

On Sunday, as Mr. Trump was traveling to attend the Super Bowl in New Orleans, he raised the proposal again.

Think of it as a big real estate site, and the United States is going to own it,” he said of Gaza, according to an audio recording from Air Force One that was shared with reporters.

“There won’t be anybody there,” Mr. Trump added. “Hamas won’t be there,” he said, referring to the militant group that led the assault on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, that touched off the war in Gaza. “We’ll be building through other of the very rich countries in the Middle East; they’ll be building some beautiful sites for the people, the Palestinians, to live in,” he said.

Mr. Netanyahu, at a government meeting in Israel on Sunday, praised Mr. Trump’s vision for the region following the war. “There are opportunities for possibilities that I think we never dreamed of, or at least a few months ago they did not seem possible — but they are possible,” he said.

“President Trump came with a completely different vision,” for the future of Gaza, Mr. Netanyahu said, “much better for the State of Israel, a revolutionary and creative vision, which we are discussing. He is very determined to carry it out.”

When Mr. Trump introduced the proposal at the White House last week, his istration had not done even the most basic planning to examine the feasibility of the idea, according to people with knowledge of the discussions. It would involve displacing two million Palestinians from Gaza; Mr. Trump suggested they should be relocated to countries like Egypt and Jordan, both of which swiftly rejected the idea.

At that news conference, Mr. Trump said that the United States would take over the Gaza Strip, “and we will do a job with it too.” He said the U.S. would be responsible for disposing of unexploded munitions and rebuilding Gaza, ultimately turning it into what he called, “the Riviera of the Middle East

If Hitler's plan had worked out, Jewish people should be in Madagascar right now. No, but we are grateful God thwarted his plans.
God will thwart Trump's plan too. He his a supremacist like Hitler, but this time sympathetic to the Jews.

I recently read a CNN article that discussed at length the relentless need for Trump to be noticed or talked about. He doesn't care if he is insulted, hated, revered, all he needs is for him to constantly take up the greater portion of our thinking faculty. This way, he establishes a psychological connection with you which over time can blossom into a potent love-hate dynamic similar to Stockholm syndrome.

"He creates an inescapable mental presence, forcing people into an emotional investment—whether through anger, fascination, or grudging respect—until engagement becomes habitual."

Additionally, his absurd actions are carefully curated to desensitize us, making his future but 'lesser' crimes almost acceptable. It is a calculated strategy-effective and dangerous.

It all makes sense now, and I, for one, will no longer engage. I refuse to nurture any form of mental relationship with Mr Trump and his cronies.

Trump’s comments sound wild and dangerous. Talking about Gaza like it’s some empty piece of land up for grabs is not just unrealistic but also deeply disturbing.

Ur saying it as if the "damage" he'll inflict will be a bad thing. The American citizens are tired of their Empire so is the rest of the world, if Trump will damage it beyond repair that is good.
