This is a great proposal by Trump.
Nothing else has worked, and the result has always been Gaza being a hotbed of terrorism, so time to make the Middle East Safe Again.
JJE
Trump is scaring Arab nations into taking responsibility of Gaza.
He does not really want Gaza.
Mark my words.
This is part of a larger picture (read the Iran article - interrelated).

You do have to feel a little bit bad for the aides who have to scramble daily to defend every incredibly stupid/ignorant/offensive/all of the above idea the Dumbest President in History spouts on a daily basis. Their job is certainly not easy.
RichardPearce
The one good quality that Trump consistently exhibits is saying the quiet part so loudly that it is impossible to pretend he didn't day it.
And he openly admitted that the US and Scofflaw regime are trying to remove the population of Palestine from the remaining fragments of Palestine where they are the acknowledged majority.
That it also exposes a truth that so many have been trying to bury for a long time, that the only legal place to move the Refugees from Gaza is right back into what for lifetimes was ubiquitously called Palestine but is now, in many parts of the world, mistakenly called Israel, and, indeed, it is the one place where preventing them from going and being citizens is a Crime Against Humanity, and them going there forcibly is not even a crime, let alone terrorism or racism or a crime against humanity, is being steadfastly ignored and reburied by those who buried it in the first place.

Russia will definitely get a part of Ukraine. Any visionary will know China gets Taiwan without war in a matter of time. The only one without any territorial gains is the U.S.
Trump would greatly protect US interests with Greenland, Panama and Gaza. This isn’t about MAGAZA but Trump reversing America’s decline.
1) The Arctic access keeps Putin and Xi honest there with Greenland.
2) The U.S. would significantly stabilize and contribute to peace in the Middle East with Gaza.
3) The Panama Canal is a must response by the U.S. to Peru’s Chancay Port, part of China’s Belt Road Initiative and the Atlantic Pacific Ocean connecting transcontinental high speed railway (350km/hr) through Brazil.
Greenland Panama and Gaza is the way to go for Trump. GPG will bring about a stable multipolar / tripolar world through deterrence without necessary wars.
You guys got a great leader in Trump but you don’t really realize it. You don’t like him but that is a very small whiny complaint to put up with for such ginormous gains.

How about making the Gaza Strip a secular society?
Being a colony of the US isn’t such a bad idea, is it?
JJE
He does things like a NY real estate developer - float an outrageous offer to loosen up the middle ground and knock the other party off balance, opening the way for counter offers.
Watch the actual press conference, the one moment Netanyahu wasn't smirking, and had a frown on his face, was when DJT appeared to rule out Israeli control. This slipped through the cracks in much of the media coverage.
He has already ruled out paying anything. There is more of a wider plan.
quercetum
Gaza as a colony is worth the peace in the East. Someone has to remove all that concrete rubble and only China and the U.S. can rebuild on that scale. It is definitely not going to be China and the visionary Trump easily sees the potential.
If done right, it is a win win situation.

Will it be you or your sons /daughters going into Gaza to remove Hamas. Hamas totally embarrass the Terrorist group the IDF who fail horrendously. Do you really want to embarrass the USA arm forces when they fail to remove Hamas. The USA armed force could not remove the Viet Com from their tunnel system and got their rear end smash like Pastie and had run away in total embarrassment. Because that what will happen if USA armed forces attempt to do so. Hoo Hah Hamas.

Some situations require stabilization but the stabilizing agent getting something out of it is only natural.

How about this?
Offer everybody in Gaza a U.S. passport or U.S. citizenship while granting them the option to remain in Gaza? Or maybe give them a U.S. territory someplace else with U.S. protection and assistance?

It's probably one of the worst proposals by a US President in history, and there have been a few.
It's on par with Russia invading the Ukraine, and much worse that the idea of China reuniting Taiwan.
It's ludicrous in the extreme, the ultra-national Israeli factions can't even hide their glee (Netanyahu's face at the joint press conference, anyone???).
So, let's stop for a minute and consider amongst all of this, what the Palestinians want, for whom Gaza has been their homeland for several thousand years. Their US backed overlords have razed their homeland, then the sponsor of the decimation steps in and literally says; 'Nice job, we think we might take this for ourselves.' Imagine how they must feel right now. Stunned, I imagine. Absolutely stunned to the core.
It beggars belief, and if you are an American with any shred of international fairness and integrity, you have to be deeply ashamed of what Trump has said. It's morally and legally abhorrent.
patkim
History is littered with people who wanted power. Absolute power absolutely corrupts. Hitler wanted more land and to subjugate people to his will. Make no mistake, the same is happening here. And to think, Trump wants to let go many federal employees in the CIA? Giving more reasons for others to hate America, and weakening your intelligence agency is a recipe for disaster. We should all be worried.

Spot on. Trump thinks it's just so easy to go into an area where he knows nothing about the history and the reason why there has been a long history of war and violence. You don't just go into someone's backyard thinking you can make it better. How arrogant is that?

Nearly every building is ruble. Pushing everything away is the easiest method to rebuild. It is also the easiest way to wipe away proof of what happened and belittle the deaths in Gaza.
Whoever rebuilds could do like Russia did to the US Embassy in Moscow https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/document/cia-rdp90-00965r000302310013-2 and fill the walls with listening devices, used the steel beams as antennas, etc, which is why the US Consul bulldozed everything and imported American construction workers to build it fresh again.
Hamas doesn't want that and wouldn't trust the US not to do something similar as Russia did. Hamas can't be trusted NOT to build tunnels between every building. So, the Palestinians who want to live in Gaza will live in ruble, if they return.
So we have Hamas who can't be trusted. Israel who can't be trusted. The US who can't be trusted and very few others who are willing, except with terrible loan rates.

If he were smart, he might be a good president. But by your own admission, he isn't.
patkim
I'm all for a rebuild. However, it should be in a way that is appealing to the people who are to live there. Build it in a way that will honor and respect the history, religion, and traditions of that area. Introducing casinos to Muslims is not the way to go. Communication with the people who are to live there is important. Communication with neighboring countries as well. Don't just say "I want to build it the way I want to build it".
patkim
Oh, and a rebuild should be done with the cooperation of many countries; not just one.
Tokyo Guy
The aide, reading from a prepared script written with a sharpie, had the following to say while constantly looking nervously over his shoulder.
"Since President Trump took office, he has already sent the stock market to the highest it has ever been, ended the conflict in Ukraine, deported every single person from the US who shouldn't be there, and won the world heavyweight boxing championship. In light of this, a few small changes to his Gaza plan can surely be overlooked, nice family you have there, be a shame if anything happened to them".

President Trump thoughts as to basic land right ownership won’t pass even the most tests scrutiny of international law.
Understanding the status of land rights for sustainable reconstruction of the Gaza strip and the west bank
Briefing note on the Occupied Palestinian Territory
https://www.un.org/unispal/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/cd1805en.pdf.
Both the Gaza Strip, West Bank are simply not US government property.
Neither to be brought or sold.
Any long-term reconstruction will need the full support of the Arab world. Neighbour’s allies vested political interests, entities yet to stake a claim.
Trump is trolling, pulling the mullahs in Iran beards.
Tokyo Guy
There's a theory going around social media that every time Vice President Trump makes an outrageous statement, it's to distract from something. In this case, he got handed his fat orange butt by Trudeau and Sheinbaum, so he comes up with this "let's turn Gaza into Trumpland Amusement Park" stunt. Now that he's gone back on that, you have to wonder what's coming next. Invasion of Luxembourg, maybe? New law stating that all women of child bearing age are to have a blonde, blue-eyed baby within the next two years on pain of imprisonment? Nah, let's replace the dollar with a novelty meme coin as its official currency.

Trump in his normal "off the cuff" blabbering, with Bibi on the squirm esp when Trump was raving about the destruction. Pure theatre,
And if anyone wanted more laughs, just watch Fox news stories on this. Fawning couldn't get any better.
Trump's 1st 2 weeks have been a mish-mash of "I am strong-man" tactics with a chaotic crash, bash, dash, cut and slice approach to everything resulting in something akin to a "Laurel & Hardy" skit.
We laughed at those comedies because they were not real - but we're laughing at the Trump show because it is real - lol.
And sadly it's real for millions of Palestinians.

If I were Palestinian, I'd rather Trump influence my destiny than Hammas. I'd take a Gaza that resembles the Riviera over a Gaza that is a massive underground terror outpost with the people above living in abject poverty while the leaders of Hammas live in luxury off of money donated to help its citizens. Perhaps the Israelies can teach them how to turn dirt into rich soil and verdant land with their advance farming techinques...and show them what a democracy looks like. Beats being lorded over by terrorists hell-bent on the carnage of its own people for political and ideological succour.
Bob Fosse
Freudian slip?
Capuchin
I was thinking that myself. As much as Netanyahu clearly enjoyed Trump describing the complete and total destruction of Gaza he has caused over the last 15 months he is also probably inadvertently helping the genocide case against Israel.

Kind of hard to lead the way on that one whilst also illegally occupying them.
It's a bit like a morbidly obese 600lb McDonalds addict showing someone what a diet looks like.

The commenter GuruMick justified the October 7 massacre/rape, in yesterday's discussion thread, by saying as follows (among other things):
A kibutz is a village populated by families. Are the babies, the toddlers, the elderly, the woman and the man, the civilians - a legitimate target? Is it legitimate to open, by using force, a room where a family is hiding, and set fire to the room with the family?
According to the view of Hamas every Israeli village, town or city is a settelement, and every Jew is a settler, a legitimate target for slaughter. Hamas is not interested in establishing a Palestinian state. They are interested in Itbakh el Yahud - butcher the Jews. These murderers must be eliminated.

I’m sure Trump has no intention of actually going to Gaza, but he’s probably appreciative of the invitation.
Fos
Here comes the spokesperson of Netanyahu, starting a topic which is not relevant to the thread, to turn the attention to something irrelevant, “as they do”.
A reminder that, according to the Israeli anti-settlement group, Peace Now, Israel has built settlements housing some 700,000 Jews since it occupied the West Bank in the 1967 Middle East war. The settlements are considered illegal under international law.
A reminder that the Netanyahu's regime in Israel has warded off completely the Gaza Strip since the start of the military operations, same as the battleground in South Lebanon. Therefore all the actions and destructions by Israel IDF cannot be documented by foreign media. So you can have an idea of the authenticity of the chronicles, especially the narrative of American media.

Trump's madman suggestion Gaza will belong to the US will never happen. The people of Gaza are already refugees from conflicts.
It would be ethnic cleansing, an international crime.

Trump has offered nothing on what he will do for the Palestinians except push the problem onto other Arab nations.
NB
The Palestinian Arabs do not make any distinction between the West Bank and Israel. For them, every Israeli village, town or city, including Tel Aviv, is a settlement. The Palestinian Arabs are not interested at all in having their own state, they are interested in one and only one thing - committing genocide to Israel.

Actually, I would prefer to see Gaza given back to its rightful owner, which is Egypt.
The US can help with the rebuilding though. In the interim, the occupying Arabs can be relocated to various countries in the Middle East from where they originally came.
Gaza needs to be cleaned up from top to bottom.
The safety and security of Israel takes precedence over those who support terrorist groups. A total and thorough cleansing of the land is needed.

Heres an idea.
Gaza reconstructed sector by sector with the Palestinians remaining in Gaza, the one group returns to live in the reconstructed area
