"The NAZIS didn't go away. They just re-branded." ~Max Blumenthal, speaking of the Zionist in Israel

"Trump said in a recent interview that he believes Israel should be destroying Gaza much more rapidly and that he would not have withdrawn from Afghanistan if he were president. I can't believe how open this prick is being about wanting to start wars and advance longstanding agendas of the neocons and the CIA in every way, and how despite all this I'm still getting Trump supporters telling me he's been ending the wars and fighting the deep state." ~Caitlin Johnstone, Journalist

Donald Trump has doubled down on his plans to 'buy and own' Gaza in spite of mounting global outrage, casting doubt over the future of the region amid a fragile and ongoing exchange of hostages and prisoners between Israel and Hamas.

'I'm committed to buying and owning Gaza,' he told reporters onboard Air Force One as he made his way to New Orleans for the Super Bowl.

'We may give it to other states in the Middle East to build sections of it. Other people may do it through our auspices. But we're committed to owning it, taking it, and making sure that Hamas doesn't move back.'

Trump appeared to try to justify the plan, which threatens to undo decades of international diplomacy, by saying civilians have 'nothing to move back to' in the wake of Israel's extensive military campaign in the Gaza Strip.

He said that the 'remainder will be demolished' and insisted that Arab nations would agree to take Palestinians after speaking with him.

The plan has sent shockwaves around the world, with America's allies voicing concern and rights groups warning the move would be tantamount to 'ethnic cleansing'. China made a rare break from its muted position on the war to deride Trump's plan.

Neighboring Egypt and Jordan have long expressed reservations, fearing Israeli plans to permanently expel Palestinians, and the possible arrival of Palestinian militant groups.

Asked whether the U.S. should take Palestinian refugees, Trump replied: 'I think its a very far distance for them to travel, but I'd have to look at individual cases... they're far away from their families and friends... I think they'd be very happy staying in the general area.'

Trump assessed that civilians in the Gaza would voluntarily leave their homeland if given the choice. A minority of polled Palestinians said they were considering emigrating in October 2023, mostly citing economic concerns.
