US would control Gaza, displace all its people under new plan: report

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Emile (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

Source: Agence France Presse (AFP)

The entire population of Gaza would be relocated and the United States would take control of the Palestinian territory under a plan being considered by the Trump administration, the Washington Post reported Sunday.

The enclave reduced to rubble in Israel's war prompted by the Hamas attack of 2023 would be transformed into a trusteeship administered by the United States for at least 10 years, the newspaper said.

Another goal of the plan modeled on President Donald Trump's stated vision of making it the "Riviera of the Middle East" is to transform Gaza -- land which the Palestinians want to be part of a future state -- into a tourism resort and high tech hub, said the Post, which viewed a 38-page prospectus outlining the initiative.

It calls for at least temporary relocation of all of Gaza's population of two million, either through "voluntary" departures to another country or into restricted, secured zones inside the enclave during reconstruction, the newspaper said.

It’s like the lives of Palestines are just chess pieces in a game. People like Trump who treat someone else’s life like this would do the same to you, whoever you are.

Thats the reality about the elites, defence contracting, war or other profiteering.

Nathan Robinson had an excellent piece called “Living in the Omelas”. He attacks all politicians so I don’t post his stuff here.
But I have never heard of that story and it disgusted me as much as the three trolley problem etc. It’s such a warped way of thinking.

It shows the stupidity of cornucopianism. In a less unequal world there is no need for any basements and Pizzagate is mindless conspiracy and foetuses are foetuses. The real children dying overtly are not in any basement-they are in Gaza.

But I didn’t need this war. I was unable to block out the moral horror that factory farming is from the time I found out about it. I cannot participate in something that vile. There are always decent food options. It’s why I am glad to support the Humane League every month.

I would not be able to live in the Omelas. I wouldn’t be able to not think of the child in the basement. As it is i block out a lot to enjoy such pleasures as my life affords by trying to find realistically worthwhile efforts. Chronic stress won’t help anyone who is trying to do the right thing.

Genocide is both the destruction of a people and a culture. Forcing Palestinians to move to other countries will destroy their culture and way of life. Trump and Netanyahu are evil.

For terrorists and real antisemites for generations to come. (Assuming we have generations of humans going forward which is likely but not as certain as it would be for a saner species that did not appear to think like that ass Liu Cixin does about survival ).

Sometimes I find morality or pragmatism confusing in human wars that are less asymmetric since typically there are some bad people on any side of a conflict exploiting it for their own ends to the detriment of the people on both sides of a conflict.

But Israelis should get by now that they are being psyoped and scapegoated for the sake of war profiteers who know how to fuel mindless bloodlust and rage while Palestinians are being ground into the dust. This won’t help the hostages.

It looks like a symbol of something horrific that should end asap. But with 3 more years of Trump..I’d almost rather he got his stupid Nobel than go through with this.

Anyway the Nobel is bs. Something shiny for him to stop him from a course of action that is irreversible for the Palestinians..

Greater Israel for easier access to ME resources and US-Israeli hegemony in the ME. All on the backs of Palestinians.

See Post #18.

Did people actually believe this was just about Hamas and October 7th?? I posit that many knew what this was about all along. Keeping up the pretence must have been hard work.

I am sickened by what our nation has become, that we would become an open and willing participant in genocide literally makes me shudder. If there is any way I can fight it I will--I just cannot abide.

From a NYT article providing more details about the "GREAT Trust".

Initial costs would be financed using as collateral the 30 percent of Gaza land that planners have said is already “publicly” owned and would immediately belong to the trust. That is “the biggest and easiest. No need to ask anyone,” Tancman noted in the margin of one trust planning document seen by The Post. “I’m afraid to write that,” Eisenberg replied in a note, “because it could look like appropriation of land.”


So steal the land owned by all Palestinians to finance building homes for the Israeli squatters known as "settlers". Sounds like a repeat of the Partition and the Nakba. Brought to you by the same Iaraeli billionaires and ex-military and intelligence who concocted the Death Traps known as the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.

Another interesting piece:

The plan talks of Gaza’s location “at the crossroads” of what will become a “pro-American” region, giving the United States access to energy resources and critical minerals, and serving as a logistics hub for the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor that was first announced during the Biden administration but derailed by the Israel-Gaza war.


As they say in real estate, it's location, location, location. Goes a long way to explaining Western complicity in Palestinians' genocide.

How do the Russians benefit from this ... unless maybe Chump gives his buddy a discount on slave labor? It's preposterous. There's no way this happens ... even the ultra-conservatives must be opposed this craziness. The MAGA cult will figure it out eventually.
