A plan circulating in the White House to develop the ā€œGaza Rivieraā€ as a string of high-tech megacities has been dismissed as an ā€œinsaneā€ attempt to provide cover for the large-scale ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian territory’s population.

Named the Gaza Reconstitution, Economic Acceleration and Transformation Trust – or GREAT – 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 ā€œtemporary relocation of all of Gaza’s more than 2 million populationā€ – a proposal that would amount to ethnic cleansing, potentially a genocidal act.

Palestinians would be encouraged into ā€œvoluntaryā€ departure to another country or into restricted, secure zones during reconstruction. Those who own land would be offered ā€œa 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 –minuscule even by the standards of many non-refugee camp homes in Gaza.

    Hey ML, and Non-Voters, how do you feel about letting Trump develop property on the Strip—sorry, the šŸŖ„_Riviera_! Was it worth it to crush the west?

    You helped this happen. If you respond, justify your actions now that you know reality, don’t just cry about me hurting your feelings.

      how do you feel about letting Trump

      Love to scream ā€œYou did this!!!ā€ to a bunch of California and New York leftists for falling to swing races in Florida and Michigan.

      Incidentally, I hope you enjoy eating big burning bags of dogshit as your boy Cuomo places fourth in a three man race for mayor.

        I’m not a democrat, why would he be my boy? People can vote to stop Trump and totally hate the choice—but like the choice a lot better than letting him win.
