nothing he has done so far seems to be made up on the fly..

He is moving chess pieces faster than his opponents can counter.

Will it result in a positive for America? Time will tell

Well, at least it's not Nation building or a never ending war.

Yeah, let's go back the the disaster of the past half century. You need to unplug your internet.
It is non of our business. Let Isreal fight their own fight. Oh, did I mention that it is a serious violation of International Law? Yeah, son, let's just go take over the Palestinian land and send them elsewhere where no one wants them. Eff Isreal and Bibi.
It's not Palestinian land. That's the first issue. Secondly, why do no other Muslim countries (and there are plenty surrounding tiny Israel) want the Palestinians?
I do wish you would learn to spell Israel correctly, but maybe you think you're being cute by misspelling it.
Eff Israel? The chosen people of Jesus Christ. Are you truly that stupid? Or evil?

It is not our job or responsibility to pay to rebuild Gaza. U.S. tax dollars paid to destroy Gaza. U.S. tax dollars will be paid to rebuild Gaza? W T F are we doing? The idiocy and in inefficiency of our federal government is just mind-numbing, no matter who occupies the White House it seems.

Bitcoin, $Trumpcoin, or $Fartcoin? That is the question.

Not to get technical and derail the thread, but this is what I was referring to earlier about why the USA has such a thing for Israel.

They are no longer the chosen people of Christ. God divorced Judah just as he did her sister (Northern 10 tribes) Israel. Jeremiah 1-4.

Matthew 21 is Christ talking about how the kingdom would be taken away from the Jews and given to the Gentiles. Christianity would comprised of Jews that converted to Christianity and gentiles. 'The new testament version of Jerusalem' - the church of the firstborn - Heb 12:23-23.

Their old testament physical earthly kingdom would be destroyed and cast into the sea, like the fig tree that beareth no fruit.

I am not anti-Israel as an ally... For all the reasons Whiterock listed in his post. But we sort of have this underlying unspoken misguided belief that the Jews are STILL God's chosen people. They rejected Christ. They played the Harlot turning to Rome over God. So he 'cast them into the sea.'

How is Palestine/Gaza not Palestinian land? Also, the jews are not the chose people of Jesus Christ bc the Christians are the chosen people of Christ. If you recall, the Jews killed Christ and curse his name to this day.

Lets be honest there is a whole debate around if the Biblical Israel is the same as the modern day nation State of Israel created in 1948

The idea that there is one to one relation is a very Dispensationalist Christian idea of the 20th Century.

Certainly no 100% Christian consensus on the matter.

[Just as many people equate "Palestinian" with "Muslim," so many people equate "Israeli" with "Jewish." Both equations are false. As for the "Palestinian = Muslim" equation, there is in fact a small but significant Palestinian Christian community. And as for the "Israeli = Jewish" equation, the ethnic and religious demographics of Israel are much more complex than this. Around 20% of Israelis are Arab, most of those practicing Muslims, and over 40% of Jewish Israelis identify themselves as "secular Jews" Jews by ethnicity only, not by religion.

It was ancient Israel, a theocratic, tribalistic society that became a monarchy, that God brought into covenant with himself through Moses. The modern nation of Israel strives to be a liberal democracy, but that in itself means it is not the equivalent of ancient Israel]

Trump never said it would come out of our pocketbook. If you look at what he has been doing, he's using 'other people's money'. He is brilliant the way he is playing this vs that.

This is what happens when you get a smart businessman running the country vs a mentally bogged down politician

Being responsible for reconstruction and actually owning the territory are two very different things. Wonder what we are really going for here?

Woah. Pretty big press conference with Bibi. Trump basically saying he's done with this 2-state failure of an experiment. He said its time to change course in Gaza and the USA will be involved. He is going to turn it into an international community and call it the Riviera of the Middle East where people can come from all over the world and live peacefully in a very nice community.

He's not wrong. The short lived Palestinian state has been a disaster. Time to try something else. 'Gaza is a hell-hole.'
riiigt. just pathetic. Let Isreal stand on their own. No more aid. I thought Trumpy Bear was a man of no wars. Who in the eff gives him the right to take over a piece of land in the Middle East. To use you RWNJs Merca first, why in the world would this be remotely palatable. Who in the hell does he think is going to develop the new Riviera? Trump and Jared. This takes grifting to a new level even for that POS. Truly unbelievable. Bibi is evil. Screw him as he is doing nothing but trying to save his own skin. Never, ever will happen and it shouldn't. Hello Hitler!

Trump is doing amazing work so far ….but this Gaza plan ( as initially described ) is a horrible idea for a myriad of reasons .
why do you insist on taking him literally?

does it matter if it will work or not, or ever happens, as long as it changes perceptions among the key players?
because I guess I have a tendency to take serious people at their word. My bad.

I don't recall you saying that about Ukraine. Isn't it your position Biden did the right thing by proving billions in aid?

Or is it bad only when it occurs under Trump?

For the record, I agree with the premise - but believe it should apply to countries we were supporting under the Biden admin as well. But I am not a hypocrite.
correct on Ukraine. The big difference is that Ukraine is a sovereign nation that was invaded by another nation. Isreal has not been invaded.

Sam, we are on the same side on this one. I was being sarcastic. It is the absolutely WORST case of Nation/Resort Building in the longest lasting never ending war on the planet. Yet, these guys are cheering it. They just spent 4 years complaining of being in never ending wars, Trump picks Gaza to turn into a resort and they cheer????

Their defense is not to take what he says serious, until it is. This is the biggest case of hero-worship crush or flexible moral compass or both that I have seen in quite a while. Next I guess, I don't even have a more preposterous example. Fixing Gaza and the Israeli/Palestinian situation, maybe start a little smaller, easier like curing cancer or going to Mars?

Cheering is a bit strong. Listening and recognizing that it's an alternative. And honestly anyone remotely supporting the idea doesn't believe that Trump will get us into a never-ending war. None of us think he's going to invade Gaza. He said it quite plainly - some ownership position and middle east cooperation. Without the arabs stepping up it's a non starter. And I'm not saying it's a good idea, I don't know, but if it works, it could be good for the middle east and our interests there.

You always come down on the worst case, and you are ALWAYS wrong. You just have to get your daily dose of TDS drama. You cannot trust your own thinking because it is broken. This will be ok. Trump has done a great job so far keeping us out of wars.

Come on, you really heard Gaza and resort in the same sentence and said that is what this situation always needed? What an opportunity? Be honest? Greenland, I get. Panama Canal, I get. Getting embroiled in Gaza? What a real estate opportunity... You can say with a straight face that this sounds like a good idea?

yeah, its on me that he is a pathological liar. yep. Oh, btw. Saudi told Trump to pound sand today. They and the other Arab countries will not pay a dime for this farce. Who's left to pay? Merca!

The Saudis put 2 billion in Jared's fund, so I wouldn't bet on it. They will not be seen as directly contributing to pace between the Muslim world and Israel, obviously.

Well, at least it's not Nation building or a never ending war.
Isn't it?
Sam, we are on the same side on this one. I was being sarcastic. It is the absolutely WORST case of Nation/Resort Building in the longest lasting never ending war on the planet. Yet, these guys are cheering it. They just spent 4 years complaining of being in never ending wars, Trump picks Gaza to turn into a resort and they cheer????

Their defense is not to take what he says serious, until it is. This is the biggest case of hero-worship crush or flexible moral compass or both that I have seen in quite a while. Next I guess, I don't even have a more preposterous example. Fixing Gaza and the Israeli/Palestinian situation, maybe start a little smaller, easier like curing cancer or going to Mars?
Cheering is a bit strong. Listening and recognizing that it's an alternative. And honestly anyone remotely supporting the idea doesn't believe that Trump will get us into a never-ending war. None of us think he's going to invade Gaza. He said it quite plainly - some ownership position and middle east cooperation. Without the arabs stepping up it's a non starter. And I'm not saying it's a good idea, I don't know, but if it works, it could be good for the middle east and our interests there.

You always come down on the worst case, and you are ALWAYS wrong. You just have to get your daily dose of TDS drama. You cannot trust your own thinking because it is broken. This will be ok. Trump has done a great job so far keeping us out of wars.


Come on, you really heard Gaza and resort in the same sentence and said that is what this situation always needed? What an opportunity? Be honest? Greenland, I get. Panama Canal, I get. Getting embroiled in Gaza? What a real estate opportunity... You can say with a straight face that this sounds like a good idea?

Trump can. What a wild ride we are in for.

Actually I don't know. But you can't have the same people who WANT Hamas to run their "country" to coexist next to Israel on Israel occupied land. So the only options you have is for Israel to bomb them even further into the ground and more killings, or for the Palestinians to be relocated and reeducated. That means the surrounding countries will have to participate.

What I do think is that incentivizing the surrounding Arab countries with some form of partnership or ownership is likely the best solution. I don't think it will work because I don't believe the Arab countries want peace, but I'll wait to see. Maybe the opportunity for significant profit and prestige can sway them. I won't be like you who can't help but b&m on every single idea you don't like, which is pretty much every idea Trump comes up with.

I don't disagree. But getting the US into Gaza is not consistent with the Party line. Hard to say you are bringing troops home and cutting spending, then get us into the resort building business.

I don't remember voting against resort building that brings peace. I mean yes this idea is really out there, but you know next to zero about the details.

Maybe the end result is that the US works with the palestinians and middle east investors to form a tourist destination. Similar to Indian Casinos (obvoiusly no gambling) but on a richer, grander scale. The palestinians are relocated in the interim, and many will be able to return to live and work there and improve their lives.

I saw Atlantic City... We have context. Donald had some winners, but he also had some pigs too. People forget he was down for a while, so much so he took a reality TV job. My point is he is not above bad ideas, My fear is he has reached a point no one will tell him. If this board is a cross section, we are in trouble. Anything he says is gold...

I think you're wrong about this board. Many have expressed disdain for the idea. Many have taken a wait and see. Several think it "might" be good. Of course the truth is, it doesn't matter what you and I think of course, it matters what he can do with the Middle East countries and people.

Every other day is filled with exciting stuff, not all are going to be winners, but the Trump team's direction for this country has been amazing so far. I actually started watching network news again because so much good is rolling out, I can't keep up.
