Ep 204. - Trump's Gaza Riviera - Muhammad Jalal
Trump’s Gaza Riviera, in the impossible event it was realised, would be built on the corpses of hundreds of thousands of dead Palestinians, half of them children. The idea is a grotesque display of American profligacy. A hegemon that knows no bounds. It would be wrong to blame it on President Trump's excesses. Trump is no more than another vile iteration of this crumbling colossus. The Biden administration was responsible for this genocide. They armed Israel, gave it diplomatic cover, undermined international law to protect it and financed its death machine.
Trump is a benefactor of this mission, not its curator. His proposal to 'clear out' Gaza and realise some perverse real estate dream is less a dramatic reversal of US policy – as some liberals cry, and more a continuation. He said the quiet thing out loud, and that's what the chattering classes across the US and Europe find so repulsive.

what Trump fails to understand he asks why would they want to live there if they could find a home

elsewhere in his NE liberal Universe where the material is God what the Muslims of Gaza have
3:34
achieved is unfathomable but these are a people of faith of Iman of reat they know that their

land is a trust from Allah subhah wa ta'ala and they will never give it up voluntarily
