WASHINGTON, Feb 4 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that the United States will take over and own the Gaza Strip, adding that “the same people” should not be in charge of rebuilding and occupying the land.
im not just coping, im really not convinced that harris wouldn’t have done the exact same thing, framing it as a “humanitarian win”, while all the gloaters would be supporting it and saying “she worked out a deal, any palestinian who stays there at this point instead of taking the deal will FAFO” completely oblivious to the reality that palestinians had no choice the entire time regardless and they’re not right but just brainwashed
This is how they would sell it to liberals: Under Kamala, they’d say they’re sending a “peacekeeping” force. She wouldn’t talk about the US “owning” Gaza, she’d talk about guaranteeing “US investment” in rebuilding critical infrastructure: water, sanitation, hospitals, housing, etc. Instead of saying they’d “clear out” Gaza, they’d say that Gazans would have “freedom of movement” (freedom to move out of Gaza, but not in)
Libs would be so smug doing this too.
exactly what i was thinking
Israel would still be bombing Gaza if Harris had won; and then she would have done this. She’d send out the Palestinians, and the libs who didn’t care about the genocide wouldn’t care about the forced relocation either. At least right now the bombs have stopped dropping and aid has been brought in (which wouldn’t have happened under Harris).
Fact of the matter was that there was never any reason to trust her and her supporters demanded blind faith in the idea that she was “working on it” sans any legitimate evidence. There were no sane alternatives at the the top of the ticket and anyone suggesting otherwise has nothing but speculation to go on.
I mean, it’s kinda cope. I don’t think Harris would ever thought of a plan this evil just with nicer language.
But our argument was never about who would say worse things about Gaza - Trump was always gonna be worse there. The point is that Trump says stuff but actual implementation isn’t there. I didn’t vote for Harris because I knew that, for good or ill, the situation for the Palestinian people would be no different on Jan 20, 2029 under Harris or Trump. And I feel just as confident in that now as I was in November.
but biden proposed this already. this was always the plan. thats why i assume harris would have also done it. brandon tried and egypt/jordan said no
Right, that’s kind of my point. Trump will say something completely unhinged like this, the Democrats will talk about something similar but not as crazy in the shadows, and at the end of the day the situation for Palestine is the same.
im confused what then is cope if we’re both saying the same thing lol. oh well
