The ones who handed back the sausages (hostages) didn’t look starving to me, they also had lovely new trucks which looked almost completely untouched.

But they're not.

I'd send them, and their supporters, back there if it's literally a minefield.
What you cant see that this as a legitimate solution is a ridiculous idea (land grab / Isreali Riviera) and Trump and in fact anyone who truly believes in this is a fucking idiot? 

Because that is my point.

Investment to rebuild is gonna be practically impossible as nobody in their right mind would spend Billions rebuilding while Hamas are still there.

So the countries surrounding the area are gonna have to deal with migration of Palestinians looking for help.

So there is that as an option.

OR

You could try to do something positive where all those surrounding countries are included in relocating the desperate Palestinians to a safe area where they get to live comfortably in peace and then have a conglomerate of surrounding countries get together to build a demolition site into an area for all to enjoy, that creates jobs and prosperity for the region.
We will also have the help of these surrounding countries out all the Hamas militants that shelter in Egypt, Jordan etc:

When people have something to lose they tend to value it. 
It won’t be easy but doing nothing is the worse of all options and doing the same thing that’s been happening for years obviously doesn’t work.

At least this brings in the other surrounding countries to help influence the Gazans to see sense and gives the Palestinians their Palestinian state that they’ve always wanted.

But allowing them to live like rats in the rubble is not an option.

Personally I don’t think they “ The Palestinians” have much of a choice.

The Saudis and Qataris will need to be heavily involved

The Abraham accords will come back in to focus again, you can expect more countries to jump on board to build prosperity in the region. 

Any tax revenue could be used in part to help provide social programmes for the New Palestinian state.

One things for certain there will always be some cսnt throwing water on any idea that doesn’t include the destruction of Israel.


 
 
 
Typical Trumpism everything is black and white you either support the idea or you want to destroy Isreal!

Nutsack and here is the nub thats not how proper level headed politicians work. Like I say if theyd sold the idea as a solution to the Palestinians problem and hey another radical idea for you, actually discussed it with the Palestinians and the surrounding nations first, then maybe people wouldnt see it as another of Trumps mad Imperialist ideas. Use some fucking sense and some diplomacy and sit down with all parties dont make it look like a land grab with Netanyahu's smugly smiling next to you! How do you think that would land?

Oh and to get Hamas out of Gaza you are going to have to allow Isreali/US troops to clear it. You think Iran and the terror groups will let them ride on through! Its a disaster waiting to happen.

But you just keep chanting USA USA USA USA! Fucking redneck dork!

Oh and my view is this wont happen, but maybe hes just sabre rattling like the tariffs, in the hope someone else comes up with a better solution.

Or you stop illegally stealing the land in the west bank and stop occupying Gaza? 

Or if "forced relocation", is the only way, let the Israelis relocate to Florida.

As with most of Trumps blustering, there is a message in there which is the real message.

with this it’s the realisation that someone is gonna have to pay for the rebuild of Gaza. That someone is likely to be the USA, and they (he) wants something back in return. That something is lucrative contracts, a stable trading partner in the region, and peace.

a new "radical" idea?

How long has that "tail wagging the dog" expression been around, concerning all this?
I dont care whose solution this is, its ridiculous. Trump came out with it so as far as he and his supporters are concerned its his idea. Whose idea do you think it is, the Palestinians!? Sure he and Benny boy may have cooked this up together but who cares, its the delivery of this idea that is going to fail to win anyone over.

The "radical idea" itself of providing the Palestinians with a "new home" is neither new or terrible if it has their interests at the centre of it, which a good politician could sell to the International community. But to base it on the US "owning" a piece of politically volatile land and turn the Palestinians home into a fucking Isreali Riviera is just incendiary to those Countries and Organisations that are sympathetic to Palestine or are simply anti American.

Trump also signed an Executive order banning men from woman’s sports.

But I’m really looking forward to watching the US take out the Mexican Drug Cartels, I’m reading they think they have half a chance in a fight with the border patrol.

I Hope the reports are true and the Cartels do step up, will be a lot of fun watching tha Apache helicopters and the F22 and F35’s obliterate the soppy cunts.
So the focus is the Mexican border again? Because for a second there i thought Canada was the worst most dangerous border ever seen? I've never seen and heard such a compliant bunch of cunts in my life. If Daddy Trump told you the sky is purple you'd believe it. Imagine being a MAGA republican for just one day. It must be great. You're always right. You don't need to know the reality of the world. If someone challenges you on any of the info you say, you just reference to a post by Knokcers_69 that proves you right. Or better you, you can just tell someone to "do their own research" and bob's your uncle, THE DEPT OF EDUCATION IS MARXIST!!!

If you're MAGA,  you only real worry would be the price of groceries you desperately wanted to come down. But then Daddy Trump will tell you that Elon Musk making 150 billion since the election, but you losing your benefits is good for the country and then you can feel like you've owned the libs!

Your man is a fucking embarrassment, but he does make a very good ventriloquist puppet, as Bibi had his hand up his arse for two hours and made him say whatever he wanted.

So he wants the USA to move in and rebuild it into the middle eastern Riviera. A place that all can go to to enjoy.
It won’t be entirely funded by USA, there is a lot of money over there, so Qatar and the Saudis are expected to want in on the action.
build homes for the Palestinians (Nice homes so they can settle in a nice area outside of Gaza and finally have their own state and live in comfortable peace.

Sounds like a good idea for all including the Israelis, they won’t have the Palestinians on their border and a big win for the Middle East. Whoever gives up the land for the Palestinian territory will be in on the profits.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

One things for sure, Trumps not short of ideas and he’s not fucking about this time.

They sent out buyout letters to the entire CIA, a huge number of FBI agents too.

And DOGE are exposing USAID as a huge corrupt money pit, guilty of ridiculous amounts of ridiculous spending on all kinds of ridiculous causes outside of the USA. Wait till DOGE is done auditing the Pentagon.

Oh and Trump wants the states to establish its own Sovereign wealth fund.

MAGAZA!
 
Ffs really!!!!!!!

Sounds like a recipe for a complete meltdown in the Middle East. None of the States or Countries in the area except Isreal would agree to this inc the Saudis.  Yeah Trumps not short of ideas is he, but this is his most bonkers idea yet. 

Its all very well having a radical solution to the problem but politically this is just madness. He cant unilaterally decide to tear up the agreements for the 2 state solution in this region.

You seem to think this is some sort of fun game. The Middle East is powder keg at the best of times adding a US land grab would be potentially catastrophic. Can see Iran and Syria and the terrorist organisations licking their lips at the increased support they're gonna get based on this.

Your blind support for the American idiot is clearly clouding your judgement. But we know your judgement is easily clouded.

Democary doesn't work and is the reason why then US is weaker. Republicism is better. This means the candidates for US presidency are coming from the elite. The best presidenst like George Bush have come from tjhis system. Since then the US  has had mediocrity.

What nonsense. He asked for peaceful protest. He offered National Guard to help protect Capitol Hill. There was never an attempt at a coup. The police are on film aiding people towards and into Capitol Hill. 
Haha, righto, love these attempts to rewrite history, So what's the story in your tin foiled hatted brain? It was a conspiracy by the police to make Trump supporters look bad?

It’s not rewriting history. It’s factual, and based on evidence easily attainable.

I can agree with some of that 

I do get the appeal of him not being a classic politician, it IS refreshing for someone not to be afraid of offending  the usual suspects, and yes he has carried out a couple of the promises that his was elected on, but they were easy quick wins. Once the low hanging fruit is picked I think his ego may take him to more extreme areas to get the worship from some of his more fringe support. 

Let's be honest the rhetoric he was spewing when he lost the election before last was borderline unhinged, he essentially whipped up his base to the point of an attempted coup, resulting in fatalities. He's never shown any sort of reflection that any of what happened was bad. He's a narcissist sociopath, pretty much anyone that's ever worked with him has stated this. We'll see how far he's willing to go this time
