Trump Wants To Take Over Gaza, Announces 500,000 Dead

The king of Israel (with a red alpha tie) visited his vassal state in America where real-estate developer Donald Trump (blue beta tie) pushed the chair for his leader and offered him to cleanse the Palestinian population from all land the Zionists desire to take.

<snip>

The internationally acknowledged Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics’ count of the population of Gaza in 2023 was 2,226,544. Trump wants to remove all Palestinians from Gaza and gives their number as 1.7 or 1.8 million:

Reporter: How many people are you thinking need to leave Gaza?
Trump: “All of them. Probably a million seven, maybe a million eight. They’ll be settled in areas where they can live a beautiful life.” (video)

“This is an acknowledgement, by the president of the United States, that the genocidal Zionists have murdered up to 500,000 people in Gaza.”

Trump may think he can win from this. As M.K. Bhadrakumar analyses:

Trump used the expression “take over” of Gaza Strip. He didn’t elaborate. Trump and Witkoff are two master-builders and they visualise the seamless potential of killing many birds with a single shot —

• first and foremost, strengthening Israel’s security through the ethnic cleansing and resettlement in Gaza;
• two, restoration of Israel’s regional dominance in the region in a medium and long term perspective;
• three, a solution to the intractable Palestinian problem;
• four, rendering obsolete the various outlandish ideas like “two-state solution”;
• five, burial of the very notion of a Palestinian state;
• six, Israel’s regional integration through Abraham Accords;
• and, above all, massive business spin-off for American companies for decades to come out of the development of the “Riviera of the Middle East”.

…
Prima facie, Netanyahu lured Trump into a trap by enticing him with a seductive scenario of massive lucrative business in Gaza’s reconstruction. Trump’s imagination is running riot, completely disconnected from ground realities. Such naïveté is fraught with real danger of blowing up on his face sooner rather than later and turn into an albatross for his presidency. This has all the making of a quagmire for the Trump administration.

 

 

Reader comment:

“This is imbecilic policy from a vassal administration. Make Israel Great Again, I guess? Maerica was always going to be an afterthought.

Like the south park episode, Maericans got to choose between Giant Douche and Turd Sandwich. Either way the Palestinians were fucked, because Zionism has captured Maerican politics. FUBAR.

I think he’s shitting on his base but why should he care. He knows which side his bread is buttered in, the side that mass murders kids and then smirks and lies.

History ain’t gonna be kind.”
