tHe continues to feel shocked and adored, which is just more shocking and awful. Over the past few days, Americans have seen unelected high-tech billionaires destroy large chunks of the federal government. Elon Musk boasted of feeding “wood chippers” to the life-saving USAID International Development Agency, but still not the most. This week’s incredible events.
The honor went to his suggestion to “just clean up” the Gaza Strip instead. They eliminated those people, bulldozed it and redeveloped it under permanent US ownership as the “Middle Eastern Riviera.” It was so incredible that it managed to attract attention at home and abroad, as it became the norm less than three weeks after Trump returned to the White House. That place.
The first reaction within the US was how what passes for the US political class and opposition parties were paralyzed by the speed of events since January 20th, and how Punch was drunk, and Trump once had Overton Window See how much we spread what was called. Not only did he open the window, he also smashed the glass, knocked out the frame, and took out the wall that held it. Now everything can be considered, so it’s acceptable.
Thus, domestic criticism of Trump’s Gaza programme focused primarily on his proposal that US troops would be deployed on the ground in Gaza to enforce US ownership. Bad thoughts, Democrat and Republican Sen. Lindsay Graham said: It would put Americans at risk, reminiscent of 241 US Marines sent to Beirut by Ronald Reagan, but in 1983 He was killed by a Hezbollah bomb.
Rahm Emmanuel, Barack Obama’s White House Chief of Staff, said this week that the US seizure would involve repeating both the Beirut disaster and the “hub arrogance” of the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Mistakes in American history.” Certainly, it is “Iraq and Lebanon on steroids.” Trump intended to separate Americans from the Middle East War, not plunging them into the oldest and bitterest of them.
Others denounced Trump for his timing. Just as negotiations were intended to begin with the second phase of a fragile ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel, the US President has not destabilized the process to reverse it. Israeli families are waiting for their loved ones who have been taken prisoner in Gaza for nearly 500 days. Now we fear Hamas has either continued to release hostages or have lost all the incentives to observe the ceasefire. Why do they stick to a US-brokered deal, the ultimate plan to empty the population Gaza and turn it into a US-owned beach resort?
Many offer now well-known advice that it’s not wise to take Trump literally. I hope this is nothing more than a classic Trump negotiation tactic. You threaten other parties with fate. They are willing to bestow more modest demands that are your true purpose. Therefore, you threaten Canada by annexing it as the 51st province, that is, 25% tariff, then get the trade or border concessions you actually want.
In this case, Trump announces a wholesale US acquisition of Gaza, thereby urging Saudi Arabia to make deals with Israel on terms he would have previously refused – stripped of the Palestinian state Ta. Give Trump a diplomatic breakthrough award. Trump is shaped in this field. Remember how he put pressure on the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and others to agree to the so-called Abrahamian partnership with Israel in 2020. To revive it, this week he hints that he will be releasing his views on the future of the West Bank next month.
All of these analysis and critiques benefit, but we miss a big ugly point. In a hurry to assess the impact, they skip big mistakes. This is not just another diplomatic proposal. This is the US president who stole the land of another person 6,000 miles away by ethnic cleansing and sought his country to do it for a lucrative real estate opportunity.
Such a move leaves international law in ruins, with only jungle laws in place. That outlook will please Trump. That’s why he announced the sanctions at the International Criminal Court on Thursday. He enjoys a world that may be right because America may be.
But the Trump plan is not simply illegal. Trump forever justified the fever of the far right-handed messianic of Israeli ultranalists. It wants to rebuild the Jewish settlements in Gaza to oppose the ceasefire with Hamas, and therefore wants to oppose the ceasefire with Hamas, in order to oppose the ceasefire with Hamas. It has justified something like a fanatic Bezalelsmottorich forever. of holy destiny. Furthermore, there is a special disgust to see Trump and his acolite looking at the land belonging to the Palestinians. It should be an integral part of the future independent Palestinian state, mainly because of its investment potential.
Listen to Trump’s Israeli ambassador, David Friedman, during his first term when asked who will live in Gaza after the 15-year reconstruction is complete. It will become a “market-driven process,” he told the New York Times. “I know I sound like a real estate guy,” he added, but imagine the possibility that “a beachfront heading for 25 miles of sunset” would present.
Trump said that since the strip became uninhabitable, he must empty people’s Gaza. No one could live there until it was leveled and rebuilt. It was a “hell,” a “demolition site,” and all the buildings were at risk of flattening or collapse. Next to him was Benjamin Netanyahu, the same Netanyahu who claimed that Gaza bombardment had been targeted and discriminated against for 15 months, was sitting with a grin.
Looking down at them was a portrait of Trump restored to the oval office of Andrew Jackson, one of his favourite predecessors. Thousands of Americans and from their ancestors’ homelands have died.
Trump said Palestinians in Gaza are pleased with the possibility of being “relocated” to another country, and will likely be forced into despair due to Israeli airstrikes and Hamas oppression and seizing the opportunity to go outside. . But many don’t. They have a attachment to land that is not acquired by the promise of a distant condo.
And you know who should understand it better than most? Jews. They were also offered various alternatives at the time, from Uganda to Madagascar, Alaska and the corner of Russia, but gained serious traction as there was only one place where Jews were considered their ancestors’ home. It never happened. It’s the same small land that the Palestinians see exactly the same. That’s the tragedy for both people.
Each may fantasize about opening up other lands, so they can have it all to themselves, from the river to the ocean. But they are dangerous fantasies, and the US president has no business to promote them. Instead, both people are destined to share the land in some way. Even the most powerful men in the world can’t keep them apart.
