President Donald Trump the intelectually disabled monster welcomed the butcher of Gaza Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House on Tuesday, and unveiled his newest, most extreme imperialist vision. by floating the idea that the United States should take ownership of the Gaza Strip and permanently displace all Palestinians living there.
If we had any doubt that the return of this unhinged megalomaniac would upend the old world order, this is the start. After everything Gaza has suffered, this is shocking, frightening and truly evil.
After describing the Gaza Strip as a hellish environment, Trump shamefully told reporters that he wants to expel “all” Palestinians from Gaza — not just during a period of reconstruction following the Israel–Hamas war, but permanently. Trump suggested that current residents of Gaza can instead “occupy all of a beautiful area with homes and safety, and they can live out their lives in peace and harmony, instead of having to go back and do it again.”
In recent days, Trump had proposed plans to temporarily relocate Palestinians living in Gaza to neighboring countries of Egypt and Jordan, which were rejected by those nation’s leaders.
Along with the cleansing of Gaza’s Palestinian population, Trump ended by saying that " “The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it too.” .
“We’ll own it … get rid of the destroyed buildings, level it out, create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area … do something different, just can’t go back, if you go back, it’s gonna end up the same way it has for 100 years.” he said to audible gasps during the press conference, offering few details on how the United States could remove more than two million Palestinians or control the war-battered territory. and without saying a word for the 60 thousand Gazans who have been murdered.so far.
As soon as Trump took office, Palestinian experts and advocates warned that he would accelerate and maintain even stronger support for Israel’s annexation of Palestinian land and continued ethnic cleansing, especially as Trump began to cast his eye on the rebuilding of Gaza.
Members of Netanyahu’s far-right cabinet have long expressed desire for Israelis to reoccupy Gaza and to build new settlements there. Trump has previously described Gaza as a potential development site, touting its weather and seaside location.
But since Netanyahu arrived in Washington, D.C., over the weekend, Trump began to express more clearly his plans in more certain and permanent terms. During the most shameful press conference in history Trump added that Palestinians “should not go through a process of rebuilding” and suggested that Gaza’s residents “should go to other countries of interest with humanitarian hearts … and build various domains that would be occupied by the 1.8 million Palestinians living in Gaza, ending the death destruction and frankly bad luck.”
Trump did not clarify the specifics of such a plan but said Palestinians could live in “numerous sites” or “one large site,” and that he expected it to be funded by neighboring countries. He claimed he had spoken to other leaders of Middle East countries who “loved the idea.” Trump also said he was open to the idea of using U.S. troops to carry out the plan.
Asked whether Palestinians who leave Gaza would have an opportunity to return after reconstruction is complete, Trump asked: “Why would they want to return? The place has been hell.” while sat next to the grinning psychopath that made it hell in the first place.
When asked whether his suggestion for Gaza meant he opposed a two-state solution between Palestine and Israel, Trump avoided the question and doubled down on his plan for displacement, calling Gaza a “hellhole,” even before Israel’s recent genocidal war began after October 7, 2023. While both Trump and Netanyahu expressed desire to push for normalization between Israel and Saudi Arabia, Saudi leaders have long made it clear that such a relationship would not exist without a viable pathway toward Palestinian statehood.
“By doing what I’m recommending we do, and it’s a very strong recommendation, by doing that, we think we’re going to bring perhaps great peace long beyond this area,”
Trump said. He claimed the plan is not meant to benefit only Israel, but all people in the region, including Arabs. “You have to learn from history,” Trump said. “You can’t keep doing the same mistake over and over again.”
I have to say that apart from thinking that Trumps words were the most preposterous and audacious I've heard for ages. it truly made me feel sick to hear it! No suggestions of help for Palestinians, just opportunities in Trump's eyes!The deportation or forcible transfer of a civilian population in whole or part is a war crime under international humanitarian law, and when committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack against civilians, it amounts to a crime against humanity..
To see an American president endorse what would be the forcible expulsion of Palestinians from their home, in an exodus that would subvert decades of US policy, international law and basic humanity, was breathtaking.
Trump ran on a ticket of stopping all the wars Biden engaged in. Just weeks into his term of office,he throws his 'peace' mask to one side to reveal the ugly colonialist Western underbelly. He is not only giving a mandate to Israel to continue its war on Gaza, but he is owning it too. Trump is now complicit in the ethnic cleansing of Gaza and the genocide of its people led by Israel.
OK Trump blurts out crazy shit.all the time ,but then once it's blurted out it has to be carried out because he can't be seen as someone who just talks. And you can't forget that during the campaign his son-in-law said the exact same thing. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/mar/19/jared-kushner-gaza-waterfront-property-israel-negev ,
Trump doesn't think of many things by himself and Jared is maybe even more corrupt than Donald, at least he's more intelligent. And someone said not that long ago, when a wanna-be dictator tells you what he's going to do, you should believe him.
However Trumps s remarks that the U.S. should “own” Gaza and turn it from a “demolition site” into the “Riviera of the Middle East,”and transform it into a “holiday hub” without Palestinians sparked immediate blowback from Palestinian officials, their regional allies around the Middle East and key European capitals and thousands of people taken to social media to slam him.
Arnnalena Baerbock, Germany’s foreign minister, said that the proposal to move the Palestinians out was “unacceptable” and against international law; in France, a government spokesperson said Paris is “fully opposed to the displacement of populations” and called Trump’s proposal “dangerous” for regional stability; and even my own Prime Minister genocide supporting Keir Starmer said Palestinians “must be allowed home” to rebuild.
"our people, for which we have struggled for decades and made great sacrifices to achieve, to be infringed upon,” said Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, in a statement.
This wasn't some gag about annexing Greenland. Trump proposes nothing less than ethnic cleansing on a colossal scale. Gazans won’t just be driven from their homeland. It will cease to be their homeland and become an appendage of the United States. Donald Trump has once again proven that he is not just a megalomaniac but a soulless, morally bankrupt monster.
His latest grand scheme? To wipe Gaza clean of Palestinians and hand it over to his billionaire cronies to build a grotesque, blood-soaked “Riviera of the Middle East.” is as sick as it is, is nothing new—it’s exactly what Netanyahu has been plotting from the beginning. Trump, with his usual arrogance, is simply saying the quiet part out loud. The strategy is as brutal as it is transparent: turn Gaza into an unlivable wasteland, obliterate homes, hospitals, and schools, starve the population into submission, and then offer them “resettlement” in the deserts of Egypt or Jordan.
Today he nnounces that the Gaza Strip would be handed over to the US by Israel at the end of the fighting and that “no soldiers by the US would be needed.” In a statement on the social media platform Truth Social, Trump stated that at the end of the fighting, “Palestinians, people like Chuck Schumer, would have already been resettled in far safer and more beautiful communities, with new and modern homes, in the region.”
He also claimed that the Palestinians would have “a chance to be happy, safe, and free” due to the relocation scheme he proposed, which envisions Palestinians to be displaced to Egypt and Jordan.
“The U.S., working with great development teams from all over the World, would slowly and carefully begin the construction of what would become one of the greatest and most spectacular developments of its kind on Earth,” Trump said. Expressing that no US soldiers would be needed for these efforts, Trump claimed that these actions would bring stability to the region.
The US has provided Israel with its weapons of destruction and Netanyahu with diplomatic cover for genocide. Trump is now contemplating sending US troops, alongside his real-estate agents, to take control of Palestinian land.
In Trump’s diseased mind, forced displacement isn’t a war crime,it’s just another business deal. And what happens to Gaza once the Palestinians are gone? Trump’s real estate friends, along with the Israeli government, will swoop in to build luxury resorts on land drenched in blood.They're not even trying to hide their agenda now. Morality is of no interest when there is a real-estate deal to be made.
Trumps approach violates international law and disregards the rights of Palestinians to their homeland. The Gaza Strip is an integral part of historic Palestine, and its residents have a deep-rooted connection to the land. Forcibly relocating Palestinians not only undermines their inherent rights but also sets a dangerous precedent for addressing territorial disputes. Such actions will inevitably lead to further instability in the region.
Think about it all for a second. Trump, the man who couldn’t manage a casino without running it into the ground.now fancies himself the ruler of an occupied territory. The sheer lunacy of it would be laughable if it weren’t so dangerous. This is not a “peace plan.” This is not a “solution.” This is ethnic cleansing, plain and simple, dressed up in the usual empty rhetoric of American imperialism.
The Gaza Strip is currently in the midst of a six-week ceasefire, with Hamas releasing its hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners and foreign aid entering the enclave. It remains unclear whether fighting will resume after the brief truce and the call to action issued by Trump (and backed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu) will complicate negotiations.
While US President Donald Trump sets out his warped vision to take over Gaza after 15 months of displacement, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have already made their long-awaited return to their homes in northern Gaza. Despite finding their homes and surroundings reduced to rubble. Water and sewage networks not functioning, leaving even those homes that are still standing without running water.t they insisted on making the long trek on foot, many of them vowing never to leave again.
Residents arriving in the north told Mondoweiss have said they were fully aware that barely any structure remained intact in northern Gaza and expected to enter into a new chapter of suffering. They also said that they would not trade what remained of their homes for anything Trump had to offer.
“The clear goal of this war is to make as many Palestinians as possible in Gaza homeless, because this destruction is deliberate and planned,” Alaa Subaih, a resident of the Shuja’iyya neighborhood in eastern Gaza City, told Mondoweiss.https://mondoweiss.net/2025/02/palestinians-reject-trumps-vision-for-gaza-if-they-offered-me-an-entire-city-instead-of-the-rubble-of-my-home-i-would-not-accept-it/?fbclid=IwY2xjawIRqllleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHeGa46p_9jyXrCSboHvM-d_DSFepyCWOwK0zci1sKPE1qHWKnbXcKoO_DA_aem_P9dGnQ9uXHTysJDQ7iTdpA “The aim is to make us suffer from lack of shelter so that we leave our country and move.”
In direct response to Trump’s statements, Subaih said, “Even if this land is hell, it is my land. I do not want to live elsewhere. I returned to revive and rebuild it.” “If the American president wants to help Israel, the best solution for him is to take all the Israelis to his country, America, not to transfer the owners of the land. We are attached to our land and will not go to any other country. Our country, Palestine, is the most beautiful country on earth,” Subaih added.
Though some experts speculated that Trump's proposal might be a negotiating tactic, Palestinians across the region saw in it an effort to erase them completely from their homeland, a continuation of the expulsion and displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their homes in what is now Israel during the 1948 war surrounding its creation.
That event is known among Palestinians as the “Nakba,” Arabic for the “Catastrophe.” Trump's statement , a wild swing away from years of U.S. policy,— meshed with calls from far-right politicians in Israel to push Palestinians out of Gaza, particularly into Egypt
The Israeli rights group B’tselem said Trump’s statement “constitutes a call for ethnic cleansing through uprooting and forcibly transferring some 2 million people. This is Trump and Netanyahu’s roadmap for a second Nakba of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.”
Palestinian refugees have long demanded they be allowed to return to homes in what is now Israel, citing the right to return widely recognized for refugees under international law. Israel argues that right does not apply to the Palestinians and says a mass return would end the Jewish majority in the country. Throughout the 15-month war in Gaza, many Palestinians expressed fear that Israel’s goal was to drive the population into neighboring Egypt. The government denied that aim, though some hard-right members of the coalition called for encouraging Palestinians to leave Gaza and for restoring Jewish settlements there. The Israeli-occupied West Bank, home to more than 500,000 settlers has also seen more than a year of escalated violence.
The rejection of Trump’s call was echoed by Palestinians in the West Bank and in surrounding Arab countries like Jordan and Lebanon that are also home to large refugee populations. “If he wants to displace the population of Gaza,” Mohammed al-Amiri, a resident in the West Bank city of Ramallah, said of Trump, “then he should return them to their original homeland from which they were displaced in 1948, inside Israel, in the depopulated villages.”
To be loud and clear. Gaza is not for sale. and will forever belong to the Palestinians. It is essential to recognize and uphold the rights of Palestinians to live in their ancestral lands and to seek solutions that respect their sovereignty and human rights.
The world must wake up. If this crime is allowed to happen, history will never forget the complicity of those who stood by in silence. Every nation, every person with a conscience, must rise up against this plan. Boycott Israel. Cut off all diplomatic ties. Take to the streets. Flood social media. Make it clear that this genocide will not happen under the world’s watch.
Trump and Netanyahu are gambling that the world will do nothing. Fuck right off. Neither have the legal or moral authority to dictate to Palestinians, they will never be defeated by land grabbing fascists. From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free.
