WASHINGTON, Feb 4 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that the United States will take over and own the Gaza Strip, adding that “the same people” should not be in charge of rebuilding and occupying the land.

    I still don’t and will not feel bad about voting PSL. These ghoulish freaks can all eat my entire ass and then face the wall as far as I’m concerned.

        I don’t lol and I know, and that (among plenty of other things) is precisely why I don’t.

        This was meant to be a reply to the comment about liberal smugness, though it works on its own, too. But I only just realized it was a standalone shrug-outta-hecks

      Hope everyone is happy now that I get to feel all smug and superior (while cheering on The Final Solution)

      I don’t even know how they can attempt to be smug about it. It was already entirely destroyed by the time trump got in lol. It was entirely leveled under Biden. Now it’s what happens with the rubble

      I don’t even understand what they’re gloating about; the bombs have stopped. Yes this is a new problem that’ll have to be dealt with, but the old problem was an extremely bad one and the urgency of solving it was monumental.

      And they’re still not directing any of this hate towards Biden or Harris for insisting on supporting Israel throughout.

        Me too. I’m not on Twitter anymore but if I was - I’d reply to with that in a few recent posts in the middle of the night when hopefully she was asleep so they would be up at least a few hours before she blocked me.

    This wouldn’t be happening if Biden and Harris hadn’t cosigned all the death and destruction. All the gloating liberals should burn in hell for supporting it all up to this point.

      Listen, Jack! We only reduced 85% of Gaza to rubble. That’s not a genocide! It’s those last 15% that counts!

      You gotta kill 'em all, Fat!

      Anyway

      Why would they? Libs think human well-being is measured in property values; this would be a good thing to them.

    Is this that “reigning in of empire” or whatever that that post was talking about a few days ago?

      The empire is simultaneously retracting and over extending itself, because Trump is a button masher who doesn’t have any respect for the game. It’s fascinating, but a lot of people are going to suffer and die because of it

      I don’t think anyone for a moment thought that the US ditching some vassals would include Israel.

      But, I’m starting to think that a lot of the foreign policy of the second Trump administration is rhetoric/bluster. I think the actual/lasting changes will primarily be domestic.

    im not just coping, im really not convinced that harris wouldn’t have done the exact same thing, framing it as a “humanitarian win”, while all the gloaters would be supporting it and saying “she worked out a deal, any palestinian who stays there at this point instead of taking the deal will FAFO” completely oblivious to the reality that palestinians had no choice the entire time regardless and they’re not right but just brainwashed

      Israel would still be bombing Gaza if Harris had won; and then she would have done this. She’d send out the Palestinians, and the libs who didn’t care about the genocide wouldn’t care about the forced relocation either. At least right now the bombs have stopped dropping and aid has been brought in (which wouldn’t have happened under Harris).

      Fact of the matter was that there was never any reason to trust her and her supporters demanded blind faith in the idea that she was “working on it” sans any legitimate evidence. There were no sane alternatives at the the top of the ticket and anyone suggesting otherwise has nothing but speculation to go on.

      This is how they would sell it to liberals: Under Kamala, they’d say they’re sending a “peacekeeping” force. She wouldn’t talk about the US “owning” Gaza, she’d talk about guaranteeing “US investment” in rebuilding critical infrastructure: water, sanitation, hospitals, housing, etc. Instead of saying they’d “clear out” Gaza, they’d say that Gazans would have “freedom of movement” (freedom to move out of Gaza, but not in)

      I mean, it’s kinda cope. I don’t think Harris would ever thought of a plan this evil just with nicer language.

      But our argument was never about who would say worse things about Gaza - Trump was always gonna be worse there. The point is that Trump says stuff but actual implementation isn’t there. I didn’t vote for Harris because I knew that, for good or ill, the situation for the Palestinian people would be no different on Jan 20, 2029 under Harris or Trump. And I feel just as confident in that now as I was in November.

        but biden proposed this already. this was always the plan. thats why i assume harris would have also done it. brandon tried and egypt/jordan said no

          Right, that’s kind of my point. Trump will say something completely unhinged like this, the Democrats will talk about something similar but not as crazy in the shadows, and at the end of the day the situation for Palestine is the same.

    United States President Donald Trump has said that the US will “take over” and “own” Gaza as part of a plan to turn the enclave into “the Riviera of the Middle East”. In extraordinary remarks on Tuesday, Trump said his administration would redevelop the territory in a bid to “supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area.”

    “The US will take over the Gaza Strip and we will do a job with it, too. We’ll own it,” Trump said at the White on Tuesday after talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “And be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on this site, level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings.”

    Nobody seems to know anything. I wonder if Trump decided to do it today and didn’t even tell anybody (other than the Israelis) so he could have a big “surprise reveal” on live tv. Here are some pirate streams - be sure to use your adblocker. And you might have right-click a lot to remove crud.

    I made an edit. Of course - he told the Israelis. Oops.

    Man, tv pundits in a situation like this love to say “in the region”.

        I was typing as I was listening to MSBNC in the background so I only could grasp about 1/3rd of the broadcast but even the little I could focus on showed me he was totally crazy - even for him.

        (Beyond batshit) cubed.

    Reposting my comment from another thread, Mmw Gaza becomes the first of thiel’s “network city” crypto havens. That’s why these fascists were so obsessed with “the Palestinians could’ve had such great beachfront property!” They wanted to drive out the native population and have those who remain as laborers in their dumbass crypto dystopia.
