The Trump administration is working on a plan to permanently relocate up to 1 million Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to Libya, NBC News reports.
In exchange for the resettling of Palestinians, the administration would potentially release to Libya billions of dollars of funds that the U.S. froze more than a decade ago.

(7,052 posts)Palestinian lives (however many are left after Israels scorched earth of Gaza is finished). He will grift on this as well, getting concessions from Libya a cut of the released funds?

(3,089 posts)First, he wanted to send American detainees there. Now its Palestinians.
In keeping with my long-standing policy of Let Trumps family do it first I suggest sending Jared and Ivanka there first. If they find their living conditions suitable, then that familys own Uday and Kusay could follow.
We all know how much that clan loves beachfront property.
And theres already a spider hole for daddy when he retires.

(32,190 posts)Its not really Libya, its territory controlled by war lords. Tiffany Trump is involved with someone whose father-in- law is the war lord.
I forget how exactly she is involved but she is.
Sending people there would really be a black hole.
I dont think the UN even recognizes this territory?

(4,229 posts)But that's what it is.
It's cooked up with Netanyahu who also has no soul. As if Palestinians haven't suffered enough, now they'll be banished from their homelands to the darkest, most violent, poorest places on earth. A month or so ago it was gonna be Somaliland and - get this - Sudan!!
It's nothing short of diabolical. May the planners of this evil - including the evil of the last 18 months - burn in hell!

(4,229 posts)Every other Arab people in the region got their own state following the collapse of colonialism. Except Palestinians.
So it's always been easy to kick them around.
But this -- THIS? -- is beyond their worst nightmares. Though the last 18 months have been a nightmare too.
It's unbearably unjust and sad.

(4,943 posts)Trump says Palestinians wouldn't be allowed back into Gaza under his plan
"We'll build beautiful communities for the 1.9 million people. We'll build beautiful communities, safe communities could be five, six, could be two, but we'll build safe communities a little bit away from where they are, where all of this danger is,"
Trump continued, "In the meantime, I would own this..."

Aside from that, how stupid does he think people are? "Where all this danger is"? As if he is helpless to stop some unknown or mysterious act-of-God danger about which nothing can be done.
Rather than the product of a planned and methodically executed destruction of Gaza, in aid of the goal of ethnic cleansing, which could be (and could have been) stopped at any time.
This cannot stand. Where are the "civilized" Western nations? Are they all gonna stand mute and helpless? That would be nothing short of complicity.

I would have to find the day and episode it was talked about.
Krasnov wants to send the people to an area of Libya that is controlled by war lords not even an area recognized by the UN.
He wants to send them to territory controlled by war lord General Haftar.

Yet they love to think they are the civilized folks on the planet. Most are racist and ethno-centrist to the core.

(6,670 posts)They helped to throw the election to Trump. But it's interesting to note that we don't hear much from them any more... their main supporter is silent. The voters themselves have nothing to say... no more gloating, no more taunts. Just silence. There are still a few online who are defending them from afar... as interesting as it is, Reddit definitely has a lot of trolls and idiots. Oh well. Live and learn I've always heard. Only, the lessons this time are very expensive and deadly, aren't they?
