But I think the nations in that region hear him say HE WILL.....and that is a notion they find....lets say unsettling..... So I suggest, this is a threat of sorts, that the neighboring nations better get their sh!t together and get involved....or else HE will..... And I also suggest, they think he absolutely will. So lets see if all the sudden... Saudi...Jordan...Turkey....and Egypt decide to get together and get involved. Well, you hate to fock with other cultures that have been standing for thousands of years, but at some point, when those cultures are supreme net negatives on the lives of all people around the world, it:s time for someone to take a chance to stop it on a world level.

Leaders in the early part of the 20th century made many mistakes, the carving up of the middle east and their mishandling of Israel have been chief among those mistakes. I read a book called A Peace to End All Peace and it goes through considerable detail to outline what transpired during and after WWI, where the main mistakes transpired. If I am being fair, it is not an "easy" read, but at the end you come away with a real appreciation for the complexity of the problems in the area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mufaletta 81 Posted February 6 23 hours ago, Voltaire said: This is the dumbest thing he's proposed by far. In fairness it may be the only dumb thing he's proposed. This is not out problem. Even if everything goes smoothly, it'll still cost us tons of money. Where will the Palestinians go? Nobody wants them. I am way, way, very against this. Don't get lost on the "first announcement". Trump's team is already looking 3 to 4 moves down the chessboard. Expect something along these lines: "Oh, by the way, China, you want these tarriffs lifted, you will help fund the construction and rebuild, as well as staff an international security force in Gaza for the next 10 years, I'll await your answer". "Oh, by the way, NATO, you want us to continue to fund your organization to keep Russia from picking off your eastern flank one by one, each of your member states will contribute to the Gaza rebuild and your militaries will enforce security in that zone over the next decade". and so on. . . .

Mufaletta 81 Posted February 6 20 hours ago, Mark Davis said: The population's mindset is totally poisoned with what is taught there. There's a reason the Egyptians or Jordanians won't take them in. Like you said, they chose their leadership and where it's gotten them. 100% true. They know nothing else as the males are taught this "death to Israel and the West" from the age of five. The females are not allowed to learn anything. They have no way of easily reversing the brainwashing, especially if they are left to their own devices in yet another "newly resettled Palestine". That generation can be resettled in Muslim countries and treated as wards of the state in some fashion. The next generation can grow up seeing there is a better way with significantly more influence from Judeo-Christian values and less Islamist hate baked into their impressionable minds. It does NOT have to be an exclusively USA led effort, either. Enlist those that claim they spend all their time spreading love and charity throughout the globe. All of the fired U.N. Workers will need a new mission. Let some of the Jesuits get in their and teach, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mufaletta 81 Posted February 6 19 hours ago, Mark Davis said: I personally don't believe that the true intention is for us to be an occupying force there, just rhetoric. I have no interest in seeing US forces there. If there's someone we need to kill, kill them and leave. No need to stay, don't want the territory, nothing for us there. Except the most strategic spot on the globe for an air force/'naval/space force military outpost to protect vital interests such as: - Keeping the Suez canal open and available for international shipping, free from Huthi rebels, ISIS combatants, pirates and others - Monitoring Iran and other regimes hell bent on developing nuclear arsenals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote In the meeting on January 22, 1938, FDR said: “‘In that case we might find some large areas as a second choice [after Palestine] for the Jews,’ authors Richard Breitman and Allan J.

FDR responded, ‘I am not offering a substitute for Palestine, but Palestine possibilities are going to be exhausted.’ As the president put it, ‘You ought to have another card up your sleeve.’” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Donald actually did take Gaza from hamas I wouldn’t be surprised if they did give it to Israel but hold onto the offshore oil.This ties in with Donald talking about how small Israel is There is the Ben Gurion canal project that would cut through Gaza and connect the Red and Med seas.

HellToupee 1,776 Posted February 6 Donald dropping some info……… The Gaza Strip would be turned over to the United States by Israel at the conclusion of fighting. The 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. They would actually have a chance to be happy, safe, and free. 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.

What sort of negotiations are you expecting? The Arab states want the Palestinians to have their own state in Gaza, the West Bank, and Jerusalem. And they want all Palestinians to have the right to return to Israel and live there if they wish with full rights as citizens. These have been their core demands for peace for the the last 70 years and they have not changed. What kind of negotiation are you thinking is going to happen here?

Maybe he is worried about the negative population growth of Venezuala. Maybe he can move them there. They must be in need of workers with all of their productive workers having headed up here to avoid climate change and to do jobs Americans won't do. Now Venezualans need workers to do jobs they won't do, or worse, don't have the workers to do. This should be a win/win for the Palestinians and the Venzualans since, as we know from listening to the Timschchet's of the world, immigration is a net benefit even when illegal, how much more so when it is openly welcomed?
