We already know people like Jared Kushner don't value Palestinian lives, but seeing the depths of their callous indifference alongside acting in their own self-interest is truly something (awful) to behold.

Callous indifference to people alongside acting in their own self-interest is the definition of private equity, and not just in the Middle East, but here in the USA and around the world. And it is awful.

Forcibly displacing people for the “Gaza Trump Riviera” and the “Elon Musk Smart Manufacturing Zone” — this sounds like the setup for a bad dystopian movie. Spoiler alert: It won’t go well.

I'm checking the date as I'm reading wondering if it's April 1 somewhere. It wouldn't even make the cut in bad dystopia-land. It's seriously so deeply, deeply disturbing and weird it makes me question reality. (I trust the Germans have a word for that.)

sickening, literally, to see Israeli government dehumanizing and demonizing Palestinians after their own victimization and annihilation less than a century ago. sickening to see this administration, led by a man who sees all foreign policy as centered around real estate deals, which is the limit of his worldview. sickening to be helpless to stop this abomination.

"sickening, literally, to see Israeli government dehumanizing and demonizing Palestinians after their own victimization and annihilation less than a century ago."

This is the take I've had for quite some time now. The zionistas have become their old nemesis in brand new drag. The New Nazi Regime thanks to Bibi and the Boyz with good old Uncle Sam leading the band and providing a never-empty horn-of-plenty!

Moving on to the good old USA (or what used to be anyway), now the land where "It Can Happen Here" is the phrase of the day and of the hour, all of us regular folks will be the new refugees if we can't get a handle on things!

Wow. This is truly disturbing. It underscores the American experience; ie, that certain humans are both irrelevant and dispensable. Others are elevated in accordance with the weight of their wallet.

We are responsible for the death of millions of indigenous Americans with US western expansion in the 1800's, so no problem getting rid of a few million in Gaza to make way for a Trump Tower and golf course.

The Trump family depravity is bottomless and their thirst for grift knows no bounds. why would they let a little thing like the future of the Gazan people stand in the way of making billions?

Don’t just be outraged. Make sure everyone we know — and all of our legislators— are fully aware of this despicable idea. Is this who we are? Is this what we do?

Not in our name.

The way to get that OUT of being done in your name is to send a copy of your resignation from your party and registration as an Independent voter to your cartel party elected representatives. Otherwise, they ARE doing this in the name of those registered in THEIR party (not yours) --busily passing loyalty oaths in scores of states to the Israeli government and then demanding their constituents cheer lead for Bibi Nuts'n'Yahoos' Baby Bombers at the federal level. The DNC just affirmed their Party put the well-being of Israel's genocidal government over their registered constituents as well as their oath to defend the Constitution.

I did that months ago. I only donate to individual candidates these days, never to the party.

This depraved racial cleansing - because that's what it is - was apparent not long into the conflict. Trump said as much. A pox on everyone involved in creating this nightmare for the Gazans.

What did I just read? I'm sorry, Tony Blair and Jared Kushner are taking their blood money funded PowerPoint of doom to the white house to guide Trump in naming Gaza after himself and Elon Musk? Idiocracy suddenly seems weirdly undercooked.

Who programmed this timeline? Did nobody do a bloody code review?

I will never understand or forgive the people who gave Trump a 2nd term due to Biden’s policies on Israel.

I didn’t agree with Biden’s policies on Israel. I firmly believe Israel has a right to exist. I do however believe the Netanyahu government has committed war crimes.

This Gaza Riviera scheme was not a secret. So there was absolutely no reason to think Trump was a better choice.

BTW Biden was not running for re election.

"I didn’t agree with Biden’s policies on Israel. I firmly believe Israel has a right to exist. I do however believe the Netanyahu government has committed war crimes."

Precisely. And intelligent people looking at the alternative to Biden, chose Biden because at least he and his advisors could be reasoned with and shared the same set of facts. These mofo's? The cheese-flavored koolaid quaffing gang now raping and pillaging our country and mounting an attack on reason itself to satisfy their endless hunger for financial gain?

Somethings has to give because these monsters should not be allowed to win.

We must oust the current regime from power in our country, then get back to working with our allies to right the wrongs. There is no more time to waste!!!

From this vantage, outside the USA, it feels a little late for that. Your going to have mysteries emergencies and curfews in place next election, while mail-in voting will be banned.

Jared is a thief. His wife is a whore. Together, they are a thief and a whore. Which pretty much sums up the Trump era.
