So Gaza is going to become the new Riviera.

It’s a crazy plan but nothing else has worked.

Jews certainly know about ethnic cleansing, been happening to
them for centuries

They tragically do- so how can they stand by or even support, being part of ethnic cleaning of another people? That is why so many of us just can't understand.

Clearly not. As such, its a gambit, Trump style: it falls at the first hurdle, the "nice homes" in Egypt and Jordan.

I am surprised so many find Trump a man of his word

He clearly is, on a number of actions in the USA, so yes, it being discussed here.

He is still making plans. This may be a runner I think.

Whatever he and Netanyahu are planning (and I do believe there is a lot more planned than they say)- it is ILLEGAL and against all International Laws.

How anyone here on GN, or anywhere for that matter, can support them in those plans, is sickingly terrifying.

My bets are on the Ben Gurion Canal project they have been planning together for a very long time- but the Palestinians were in the way in Gaza. Wait and see.

Agree, Which is why I have the greatest of respect not for the kings and queens of Saudi and Jordan or the dictator sisi, but the people who have deserved most of my respect....are the jews who have spoken up. They quite clearly have seen the hard right in UK and USA, trying to manipulate this into a jew/muslim conflict or arab/israeli tension.
It is neither.
