The Riviera of the Middle East – this could be so magnificent
Trump will take over Gaza for the US, scatter the Gazan Palestinians to the four winds and develop the Riviera of the Middle East for ‘the world’s people’.
His maga media considers a complete ethnic cleansing on top of genocide just wonderful. US MAGA Media: “Why not give something new a try?” while they have the truly sickening temerity to make decisions for another people. “It is such a transformative vision”, I’ve heard.
Trump also withdraws the US from the UN Human Rights Council and UNRWA, the refugee agency that works primarily with the Palestinians. Of course, of course; what a masterstroke; withdraw, so that you can destroy the human rights of a people with impunity and not let the world cry out legally.
Yet, the Saudis have just issued a statement that professes otherwise: “Riyadh categorically rejects any actions that infringe on the rights of Palestinians, including occupation and forced displacement, stated the Saudi Foreign Ministry amid Trump’s remarks. Saudi Arabia has no intention of establishing diplomatic relations with Israel without the creation of an independent Palestine, the ministry emphasized.” Further refusal to countenance this is here: https://globalsouth.co/globalsouthforum/topic/the-hearty-salon-28-jan-2025-open-thread/#post-51339
Trump and his cotery care for the Gazans, professes Trump. They must care so deeply. The Gazans cannot go back, because it is too dangerous for them says Trump. Houses will be built for them elsewhere, where the sun can shine in and they can be happy and they will have work opportunties. Right on! Is there a song with the title “Building Heaven, on top of Genocide”?.
When asked whether US troops would be deployed to Gaza, Trump vowed to “do what is necessary.” The US president reiterated his view that Palestinians should be permanently resettled elsewhere, adding that the US would “take over” Gaza and lead efforts to clear the destruction left by 15 months of war between Israel and Hamas.
“The US will take over the Gaza Strip. And we will do a job with it, too. We’ll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site,” Trump said, promising to “level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings.”
Asked to clarify what exactly he meant by a “takeover,” the US leader said he envisions a “long-term ownership position” that would supposedly bring “great stability” to the entire Middle East. “Everybody I’ve spoken to loves the idea of the United States owning that piece of land, developing it, and creating thousands of jobs,” Trump claimed. This could be ‘so magnificent’.
When asked who would populate Gaza once the US “takes over” and redevelops it, and whether the Palestinian people would be able to return, Trump responded:
“I envision… the world’s people living there. I think the potential in the Gaza Strip is unbelievable. And I think the entire world, representatives from all over the world, will be there and they’ll live there… Palestinians also,” he said. “I don’t want to be a wise guy. But the Riviera of the Middle East – this could be so magnificent.”
The West Bank is not far behind. Republicans in the US Senate have filed a motion to replace the term “West Bank” with “Judea and Samaria” in official documents, Senator Tom Cotton says. Marco Rubio coined a new phrase: “Make Gaza beautiful again”.
Will this be the final factual truth in this part of the movie? If Trump said so, will it happen? Will Genocidaire Bibi and Enabler Trump’s nazi-zionist views prevail? Is this real life, or is this just fantasy?
Do we witness a new and improved ethnic cleansing? We could not kill you with bombs, bullets, drones and missiles. We could not kill you with hunger, we could not kill you with removing your humanity, taking your lives, running you up and down a strip of land until you sank into the earth with fatigue, killing your family, your children, your babies, your spouses, your grandparents, uncles and aunts and ripping out your olive trees! Let’s impose our sick society on you, because we do not have those bonds, so why should you? Let’s try waging war against you with kindness. We will rape you and pillage your lands with a promise of a new house, somewhere else. The sun will shine in – see how kind we are. The neighbors will take care of you. You will not own your humanity and you will have nothing. It is such a transformative vision! It is so magnificent! We used to call it ‘lebensraum’.
