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.

    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.
