Under the proposal, the US would take control after “voluntary” relocation of Palestinians from the strip, where proposed projects include an Elon Musk Smart Manufacturing Zone and Gaza Trump Riviera & Islands.

There once was a guy who wanted to depopulate large parts of eastern Europe and transform them into something he called living space - which was supposed to be his cash and grain cow.

Maybe we will get the same ending.

75-85 million people died to get that ending

That’s the amount of mentally ill conservatives who support fascism this time round, so yes…

Millions or billions will have to die to stop those idiots and every country has their own version

Goodness… I thought it was just one of trump’s social media pundits spouting nonsense, maybe with an AI-generated image or two, but this is serious. That I hate America and Israel at this point goes without saying, but I hate any country or politician that closes their eyes to what these nations have become.

You really need to read the article, but here is a lengthy quote regardless:

The GREAT Trust was drafted by some of the same Israelis behind the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), whose aid distribution points in Gaza have been the sites of deliberate massacres and other incidents in which thousands of aid-seeking Palestinians have been killed or wounded.

According to the Post, financial modeling for the GREAT Trust proposal “was done by a team working at the time for the Boston Consulting Group”—which played a key role in creating GHF. BCG told the Post that the firm did not approve work on the trust plan, and that two senior partners who led the financial modeling were subsequently terminated.

The GREAT Trust envisions “a US-led multirlateral custodianship” lasting a decade or longer and leading to "a reformed Palestinian self-governance after Gaza is “demilitarized and de-radicalized.”

However, to journalist Hala Jaber, the plan amounts to “genocide packaged as real estate.”

any government/company involved in this project should be tried for crimes against humanity. Dipshit Trump probably plans to build some more casinos there which he can bankrupt.

Take one of the most violently-contested parts of the Earth, a center of blood feuds that have been raging for, depending on how you count it, between eighty and six thousand years, a place that has become synonymous for “a location of endless conflict,” take that piece of real estate, enhance the violence, and then tell yourself you’re going to build a bunch of high-end condos and invite rich assholes to move in.

What could possibly go wrong?

Hmm I’m confused…

“Voluntary emigration” is widely considered a euphemism for ethnic cleansing, given Palestinians’ general unwillingness to leave their homeland.

But I thought they were refugees, i.e. Gaza ISN’T their homeland. If they are living in their homeland then how are they still refugees?

One of my friends is a Ukrainian refugee. He isn’t living in his homeland and doesn’t consider himself British.

floofloof@lemmy.ca on 03 Sep 2025 04:32 collapse

The land now known as Israel, including Gaza and the West Bank, is their homeland. These people are refugees because they were driven out of their homes during the violent formation of Israel in 1948 and many of those who survived ended up in refugee camps in Gaza. Gaza is one small corner of their homeland. Over the course of 70 years or so, these refugee camps became entire cities because these people had nowhere else to live, for generations. So they were refugees in a small corner of the country that was once theirs. Then Israel destroyed even these cities.

Ah right. So residents of Mariupol who now live in different parts of Ukraine would also be considered refugees while still being in their homeland.
