      My last comment here got determined to be “misinformation” and removed, so let me try to just state my opinion and avoid any factual claims -

      I feel like Trump did say a stupid thing. I feel like the stupid thing Trump said here won’t actually be implemented, but only because actually occupying Palestine with American troops would be extremely costly and Trump’s allies in the area wouldn’t actually gain anything from it they don’t already have. I feel like the Trump administration does want to find some way to make the lives of Palestinians worse that they can show to their voters, but I feel like they will struggle to find any policies that make things much worse than Israel and the Biden administration has already made their lives.

      I don’t feel like that makes what Trump is saying or doing acceptable. However, I feel like many people don’t recognize how bad it has already been for Palestinians because of the actions of the prior administration. Moreover, I feel like elected Dems need to condemn the prior administatrion’s actions if we are going to build the sort of political coalition that can win elections and give us an administration that will be willing and able to hold Israel accountable for what I feel is an ongoing genocide.

        Then you are woefully lacking in imagination and haven’t been keeping up with the news.

        it’s going to be really hard for this administration to come up with any actionable policies that are worse to the Palestinians than how the last administration treated them.

        I can’t even…

        This admin is exporting people to Guantanamo Bay. They are eliminating the rights of entire populations within our own borders. Why would they give a fuck about some brown people across the ocean? They dont have a line anymore. They don’t understand self-defeating. They will burn the whole planet down if it means more money in their pockets or securing foreign support. It WILL get much worse.

    Now, we hear from the press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, that this is not what he meant, that there will be no US boots on the ground, as she puts it, and the US will not provide any funding whatsoever towards any translocation.

    And as well, reversing the president’s statement, which he made publicly, she said that this would be a temporary solution, not a permanent one as has been implied by the president. This was also echoed a little bit earlier by the Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who said that any such action in Gaza would be a temporary one.

    Well obviously it would be temporary. The sun is going to engulf the Earth in 5 billion years!
