Trump Says U.S. Will Take over Gaza

Mandatory Palestine V2, lets see how that goes. What is the plan for the folks who used to live in Gaza City, where are they asked to go? I'm guessing they want them to be elsewhere, otherwise they'll fight against insurrectionists (not the good kind) the entire time.

I love how the argument for taking it over is because it's completely demolished and everything is rubble, which is put forward while standing next to the guy who is responsible for it being in that state in the first place.

That's the next quote:

"Gaza's entire population would relocate to other countries."

Which would literally be a war crime.

If it's by force I agree. If they want to leave how is it a war crime? I'd argue it's a war crime to not let those who want to leave the opportunity.

Isn't that called ethnic cleansing?

Regardless of what you think of Bibi / Israelis and who's fault this is, it does seem to me like much of the strip is indeed unlivable now. What do we do about it , do we let all these people live in tents until (maybe) 10 years from now everything is fixed there? I don't think anyone should be forced to leave, but if someone wants to leave I hope they get the chance and the support they need.

Let's move them all to the United States. Maybe to the Dearborn area. Give them all easy US citizenships, all to help carry out this wonderful plan of rebuilding.

I mean, the US is the one proposing this, the US should be the new home for 2.1M Palestinians living there.

I don't know. When Syria turned into a god awful war zone many in the developed world pushed to receive them (and it was more than 2 million). But not when it comes to the Palestinians, it's almost as if the Palestinians are pawns in some bigger game I don't really understand.

I don’t think Trump was standing next to any Hamas leader.

The headline manages to under-play the key quote:

"Gaza's entire population would relocate to other countries."

That would be a violation of the Genocide Convention:
