Leaked 'Gaza Riviera' plan dismissed as 'insane' attempt to cover ethnic cleansing

(snip)

“This is a blueprint for mass deportation, marketed as development. The outcome? A textbook case of international crimes on an unimaginable scale: forcible population transfer, demographic engineering, and collective punishment,” Grant said.

Trial is one of fifteen groups that have previously warned that private contractors operating in Gaza in collaboration with the Israeli government risk “aiding and abetting or otherwise being complicit in crimes under international law, including war crimes, crimes against humanity, or genocide”, and that they may be liable under several jurisdictions.

The small print is most damning, however, making no distinction in terms of sovereignty between Gaza, Israel and Egypt, suggesting no consideration has been made for Palestinian self determination. Under the plan, Israel would maintain vaguely defined “overarching rights” over Gaza “to meet its security needs”. There would be no Palestinian state but a “Palestinian polity” which would join Trump’s Abraham Accords.

The entire language in the prospectus, and labelling of several features, appears aimed at appealing to the vanity of Trump, Musk, and Saudi Arabia’s crown prince Mohammed bin Salman, for whom the security ring around Gaza is named.

Cooked up by the same Israeli billionaires, ex-military and intelligence and ultra-nationalists - in consultation with two BCG consulting group executives since fired for helping develop this heinous piece of avarice and inhumanity - that brought to Gaza the Death Traps bizarrely called the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.

And who will pay for the initial costs - about 30% of the total? Why Palestinians, of course! The plan proposes to steal Gaza lands that are publicly owned and belong to all Palestinians to help finance the project. As if land appropriation/confiscation/theft of public lands is no big deal. Of course we know that in Israel it really isn't - it's a 77-year habit.

So Palestinians would be paying for their own expulsion, dispossession and ethnic cleansing under this evil-spawned plan. Even better, Israeli squatters known as "settlers" will get the benefit of the reconstruction and get new homes - using the proceeds from the sale of Palestinian lands.

Brilliant, right?
