No one wanted Palestinians “erased.” You truly imagine things that are not true and lose touch with reality. I wanted Hamas to be destroyed. Hamas. While you wanted Israel to be destroyed. We are not the same. Hamas are the bad guys. Killing babies, raping women, and taking hostages are not what good guys do.IP: Logged |

Trump says Palestinians have “no rights to return” under his plan. So no, it is not temporary. And yes, it is ethnic cleansing. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/10/trump-buy-gaza-plan IP: Logged |

I'll be watching that interview at 6:00 pm EST tonight and see if President Trump actually said that. The media are notorious about misquoting him.IP: Logged |

I didn’t want Israel to be destroyed, you’re lying, and once again, I’m so very glad that we are not the same. I am against the genocide that Netanyahu has been running. There is a big difference. IP: Logged |

Trump plans to take ownership of Gaza. http://www.foxnews.com/video/6368595455112 He’s still talking about moving them. And in the meantime, he isn’t going to rebuild for them, he wants to build a resort. IP: Logged |

I think he is bluffing. I think this is a strategy to force the hands of the other middle east countries to help rebuild Gaza. I think he is bluffing, and I hope he is, because if he really means it, it is a very crazy plan. And the MAGA base will not be behind him going through with it.

That's why it's a terrible place to be right now. For **** 's sake, the gaslighting is massive. The bombs that Netanyahu demanded. the rubble left by HIM.We have no business owning Gaza, and turning it into a resort area, as rump wants to do. No business whatsoever.
Business owning it or not from a purely "Is this good for us?" standpoint it would be. Is it unfortunate that people will be put out? Absolutely, but all things considered there's no peaceful resolution for them really. Not with things as they stand, so rather than consider just what would be correct in a human welfare sense it becomes priority to consider what would be beneficial outside of that. IP: Logged |

I still get no reply about what should be done. Should we just let them all stay there and die? What solution do the detractors suggest? Hating President Trump is not offering a solution. IP: Logged |

I don't worship him, understand why people dislike him, and absolutely get why people think he's crazy and stupid. However the moves he's making and wants to make do make sense in various lights and could be leveraged in ways that benefit over the longterm if they work out, they are risky though. I also think it's pretty clear the real game is underneath this, and that the things that have been in motion for longer than Trump even being president was a thought would have come to the surface regardless. The look would have been different is all. You look at the faces of people you share your country with and see enemies, they look back at you and see the same. If she had won this would be the same.

This entire area is such a tinderbox of generational conflicts, fanaticism, ancient claims... I fail to see how it serves the US to take it over. Back away, President Trump! Back away!
It's prime land because it's sacred to people and heavily sought after, it's also strategically placed in an area where we have enemies. By turning a sought after area into a resort area people are able to use at a price you'd get a lot of business from various communities provided they don't take that as an insult and given the current state of things they have a good chance of preferring it if they can go and be safe. So it's $$$ and territory in a good position. It's risky though so the risk/reward might not prove profitable, but the logic actually isn't that bad as it's dual purpose. IP: Logged |

There are no solutions only ideals without a way to put them into motion or enough accountability to recognize that every and any move including installing said ideals will result in death and/or displacement. IP: Logged |

No reply? Why should they die at all? I’m not around all the time, and I was out all day. You ignore things, or turn them around on me, instead of answering questions, all the time. So, why should they have to die, if they stay? Nobody is threatening rump with that, as he talks about rebuilding, taking that land away from them. Could it just be that Netanyahu is a genocidal dick? We saw senators signing those bombs. Nikki Haley writing something like “get them all!” But a trump resort is cool? IP: Logged |

I feel like I am talking to a child. Let me explain it to your level of understanding. If we just leave them there, they will die from the conditions in Gaza. There are bombs everywhere. The water is contaminated. Ambulances can’t even get in. Make sense? Whereas, they can prosper in new homes that are safe and clean and with access to food and water. Who would choose to stay and die? Once again, what is your solution? JUST OEY THEM STAY THERE AND DIE? Check. Good thinking. What questions if you’re have I not answered? I respond to your lunacy all the time.IP: Logged |

Yes, because of Netanyahu. And the bombs you were happy were being dropped on them. You didn’t give a crap about Gaza prospering, until now. So clean it up, but don’t bring them back to their home. Rumpy gets a resort instead. I feel like I’m talking to someone who is being deliberately obtuse. IP: Logged |

Republicans are suddenly all “poor gazans need a safe place to live” after supporting their mass slaughter since October 2023. When *I* said that, you called me an anti-Semite. Repeatedly. IP: Logged |

This is ethnic cleansing, Randall. Trump said very clearly the Palestinians don’t get the right to return. It’s a land grab. Trump is trying to gain a profit from this human tragedy by stealing land from people that are destitute. This would set a terrible precedent. This is not an acceptable solution. There are other options.

No one here supported killing Palestinians. We supported (and still do) killing Hamas. You know, the animals who raped, savagely murdered, and beheaded babies. The people who use human shields. The people the Palestinians selected as their leader. IP: Logged |
