Subject: Charles... Trump wants 'just clean out' Gaza, by removing Palestinians |

Get the picture yet?
BY ZEKE MILLER AND WILL WEISSERT
January 26, 2025
"ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE (AP) — President Donald Trump said Saturday he
would like to see Jordan, Egypt and other Arab nations increase the number of
Palestinian refugees they are accepting from the Gaza Strip, potentially moving
out enough of the population to “just clean out” the war-torn area to create a
virtual clean slate.
During a 20-minute question-and-answer session with reporters aboard Air
Force One, Trump also said he has ended his predecessor’s hold on sending
2,000-pound bombs to Israel. That lifts a pressure point meant to reduce
civilian casualties during Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza, which is now halted
by a tenuous ceasefire.
“We released them today,” Trump said of the bombs. “They’ve been waiting for
them for a long time.” Asked why he lifted the ban on those bombs, Trump
responded, “Because they bought them.”
Trump has built his political career around being unapologetically pro-Israel. On
his larger vision for Gaza, Trump said he had call earlier in the day with King
Abdullah II of Jordan and would speak Sunday with President Abdel Fattah el-
Sissi of Egypt.
“I’d like Egypt to take people,” Trump said. “You’re talking about probably a
million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing and say, ‘You
know, it’s over.’”
Why Netanyahu’s political future is as fragile as the ceasefire
Trump said he complimented Jordan for having successfully accepted
Palestinian refugees and that he told the king, “I’d love for you to take on more,
cause I’m looking at the whole Gaza Strip right now, and it’s a mess. It’s a real
mess.”
Such a drastic displacement of people would openly contradict Palestinian
identity and deep connection to Gaza. Still, Trump said the part of the world
that encompasses Gaza, has “had many, many conflicts” over centuries. He
said resettling “could be temporary or long term.”
“Something has to happen,” Trump said. “But it’s literally a demolition site right
now. Almost everything’s demolished, and people are dying there.” He added:
“So, I’d rather get involved with some of the Arab nations, and build housing in a
different location, where they can maybe live in peace for a change.”
There was no immediate comment from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu’s office.
Trump has offered non-traditional views on the future of Gaza in the past. He
suggested after he was inaugurated on Monday that Gaza has “really got to be
rebuilt in a different way.”
The new president added then, ”Gaza is interesting. It’s a phenomenal location,
on the sea. The best weather, you know, everything is good. It’s like, some
beautiful things could be done with it, but it’s very interesting.”
Resuming delivery of large bombs, meanwhile, is a break with then-President
Joe Biden, who halted their delivery in May as part of an effort to keep Israel
from launching an all-out assault on the southern Gaza city of Rafah. A month
later, Israel did take control of the city, but after the vast majority of the 1 million
civilians that had been living or sheltering in Rafah had fled.
“Civilians have been killed in Gaza as a consequence of those bombs and other
ways in which they go after population centers,” Biden told CNN in May when
he held up the weapons. “I made it clear that if they go into Rafah ... I’m not
supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah, to
deal with the cities, that deal with that problem.”
The Biden pause had also held up 1,700 500-pound bombs that had been
packaged in the same shipment to Israel, but weeks later those bombs were
delivered.
Trump’s action comes as he has celebrated the first phase of a ceasefire
between Hamas and Israel that has paused the fighting and seen the release of
some hostages held by Hamas in Gaza in return for hundreds of Palestinian
prisoners held by Israel.
Negotiations have yet to begin in earnest on the more difficult second phase of
the deal that would eventually see the release of all hostages held by Hamas
and an enduring halt to the fighting.
If the remaining hostages are not released, the Israeli government has
threatened to resume its war against Hamas, which launched a massive assault
against Israel on Oct. 7, 2023."

it's time to face reality.
He wants to force 1.5 Palestinians out of Gaza, out of their homes, communities.
He said it. In his own words...
"Trump said on Saturday that he would like Jordan and Egypt to take in Gazans
internally displaced by Israel’s devastating war in the enclave. “You’re
talking about a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole
thing,” he told reporters aboard Air Force One.
The potential transfer, he said, “could be temporary” or “could be
long-term.” Both countries swiftly rejected the idea."

That just represents such a complete absence of rational
common sense...let alone lack of humanity...
Even had they the technology to literally scrape the
whole territory of its Earth half a mile deep...they'd
never be able to *remove* the residuals of so much evil -
- physical, tangible toxins as well as the pure horror of
all that was wrought there...
"Nice things"...never, ever again...no...
The nerve, even, to suggest such a thing...........

no, that was said with common sense involved. dtrump
has a world v iew and not a constrained vierw of a place
or presence. his view of gaza is that is unliviable for
the present. give them a nice place to live in while it
is cleaned up and then move back in. he is a builder
and thatg is his v iew. itg's not a punitgive view b ut
one that concerns the v ictim. thats what i see.

Hey Charlie..
Didn't you tell us, with all the assurance of a man that knows what he's
talking about, that Trump was gonna be the second coming for the
Palestinians? That he was going to save the day?
And didn't we tell you he would eliminate the people of Gaza entirely?
Mentioning spas and hotels.. Trump's very own Mediterranean wonderland?
You should try dictation.. your computer, phone, whatever is very good at it.
You speak, it types, easy. You'll love it.
