Trump proposes U.S. control of Gaza

So is it any surprise he can casually sit with the Jordanians and tell them to their faces "you are gonna take a couple of million Palestinians so we can build a luxury resort over their homes).

He can tell them that, but do you really think that they would be at all willing to accept them into their country?

It would take a whole lot of money to get them to take them. Money that us taxpayers would end up being on the hook for.

Knowing trump, he would deduct the cost of repatriation from foreign aid.

A list of more than 350 rabbis, Jewish creatives, and philanthropists have signed their names on a full-page ad in the New York Times, condemning US President Donald Trump’s proposed takeover of the Gaza Strip — effectively ethnically cleansing the enclave of its Palestinian population.

In addition to the rabbinical signatories, several Jewish celebrities have signed the list. Among the names include Eric Andre, Ilana Glazer, and Joaquin Phoenix.

The ad says, in large writing, “Trump has called for the removal of all Palestinians from Gaza. Jewish people say no to ethnic cleansing!”

According to a report published by The Guardian, Cody Edgerly, director of the In Our Name Campaign and one of the organizers of the ad, noted that it came at “a critical time as political redlines that were once thought immovable are rapidly shifting as the Trump-Netanyahu alliance takes hold again.”

n the report, Edgerly said that it was “heartening to witness such a rapid outpouring of support from across the denominational and political spectrum,” adding that “our message to Palestinians is that you are not alone, our attention has not wavered, and we are committed to fighting with every breath we have to stop ethnic cleansing in Gaza.”

Trump’s proposal has been compared to the 1948 Nakba and has led left-leaning Jewish clergy and leadership to also compare his calls to Hitler’s attempt to cleanse Germany of its Jewish population.

In the Guardian's report, the senior rabbi of congregation Dorshei Tzedek in Newton, Massachusetts, said, “We know as well as anyone the violence that these kinds of fantasies can lead to. It is time to make the ceasefire permanent, bring all of the hostages home, and join in efforts to rebuild Gaza for the sake of and with the people who live there.”
