A plan circulating in the White House to develop the āGaza Rivieraā as a string of high-tech megacities has been dismissed as an āinsaneā attempt to provide cover for the large-scale ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian territoryās population.
Named the Gaza Reconstitution, Economic Acceleration and Transformation Trust ā or GREAT ā the proposal was reportedly developed by some of the same Israelis who created and set in motion the US- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) with financial planning contributed by Boston Consulting Group.
Most controversially, the 38-page plan suggests what it calls ātemporary relocation of all of Gazaās more than 2 million populationā ā a proposal that would amount to ethnic cleansing, potentially a genocidal act.
Palestinians would be encouraged into āvoluntaryā departure to another country or into restricted, secure zones during reconstruction. Those who own land would be offered āa digital tokenā by the trust in exchange for rights to redevelop their property, to be used to finance a new life elsewhere. Those who stay would be housed in properties with a tiny footprint of 323 sq ft āminuscule even by the standards of many non-refugee camp homes in Gaza.
I did not have āuse NFTs as a tool to fuck over the people of Gazaā on my bingo card
You should have. NFTs and other Crypto schemes are at the forefront of the āEat the Bugs, Live in the Podā economic model.
And Palestine is at the forefront of human immiseration. What happensed to Gaza in the 2010s has been rolled out to immigration camps in the US and Europe in the 2020s. What weāre seeing in Gaza today is the future for The West.
