As President Donald Trump formally inaugurated his so-called Board of Peace at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Thursday, his son-in-law Jared Kushner presented his vision of turning the Gaza Strip into an upscale seaside resort with gleaming skyscrapers and entirely new cities. The proposal is said to require an investment of at least $25 billion, and Kushner’s presentation showed a map of the besieged territory divided into different zones. This all comes as Palestinians in Gaza struggle to survive with little food or shelter amid ongoing Israeli restrictions on aid.
“It’s hard to take these people seriously. I mean, they’re buffoonish. But the problem is, is that they control the largest military and economy in the world,” says Sharif Abdel Kouddous, the Middle East and North Africa editor at Drop Site News. He calls the Board of Peace “a parody of a colonial body” and says the plan for Gaza will result in “ultimate control and subjugation” of the Palestinian population.
Whatever it was, it would have been magnitudes better than what trump is doing. Biden literally sent a ship to Gaza filled with humanitarian aid, but they left because hamas wouldn’t stop lobbing mortars at them.
Of course, some people won’t be satisfied with anything less than “from the river to the sea,” but honestly I’m not a fan of ethnic cleansings no matter who’s doing it. So if the only way to satisfy is to fellate hamas, then I really can’t be bothered…
