There have been numerous times that these Arab communities have moved
in the last 100 years. Anyway they demand that the Jews pack up & leave.
Read this, I certainly was not aware of all these changes;

Seems that Trump-hatred destroys critical thinking. There's a long history of evacuating damaged cities to make way for reconstruction, from earthquake-devastated Lisbon in 1755 to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina in recent times.

Dear Rhian,

I fully agree.

This is a dream, and may it come true.

Physical rebuilding is relatively the easier task,
the harder part is that both sides badly need “denazification”.
Now who in the world is both strong enough and mature enough to evenly undertake what it takes?

Obvioudly, they cannot live next door to each other.
Living amoungst the rubble without any normal infrastructure services
is also impossible. To move into new townships in Jordan is the
obvious solution.
They could be employed to build those townships.
Some would have to stay in Gaza and be employed in the cleanup and
that would be a long job anyway. By the time they were offered a new
house in the new township they would be pleased to go.

Hi Rhian,

"The fact that there is historical precedent for ethnic cleansing does not make Trump’s plan any less monstrous."

Was Kuwait's expulsion of Palestinians for their support of the Iraqi invasion monstrous?

I'm more concerned with the outcome it delivers for the Gazans. Doing the same thing would seem to condemn the Gazans as well as the Israelis to the same miserable and violent outcome. That isn't good. BTW, relocating the Gazans is does not satisfy the definition of ethnic cleansing as ethnic cleansing involves relocating (they would not be murdered, as is a common usage of the word) an ethnic group from a population. How would that apply to a population that has routinely practiced ethnic cleansing (in the murderous sense of the term) to the extent of becoming a monoculture?

Not going to happen.

Trumps a businessman, a dealmaker, and he does things his own way.
He says crazy things to force the other parties to run around screaming and present him with a counter proposal.
