Agree.

How naive are you? The majority of Palestinians ARE Hamas, or at least have similar ideology to them. If you banned Hamas it would simply be created again under a different name. The 2 state solution will not work because most Palestinians refuse to live alongside Israel peacefully. The only way it might work is to thoroughly vet anyone returning.

Anything needed to get all the Israeli hostages out and back with their families is welcome.

But once the hostages are back, who cares what happens in Gaza?

It would be nice, however, to give a home somewhere else to the Gazans who want to leave, even provided for free by the stupid American tax-payer, yet the Gaza-rebuilding part of the bill can be saved: those who wish to stay in Gaza are probably also those who do not deserve proper housing - they have their tunnels!

Who cares?
Only about 180 of the worlds 192 odd UN countries.
- As well as the worlds highest court.

But Israel are 'Gods chosen' so anything and everything is automatically justified

Honestly I'm not sure their God is the same as anyone elses anyway.

Dear Critic,

«Who cares? Only about 180 of the worlds 192 odd UN countries.

Don't be so sure, they just follow their political interests.
What they say is one, what they actually care about is another.
Yes, that includes the Gazan's Arab and Muslim "brothers".

I actually care for the poor Gazan people - I just don't care for their Gaza.
Their true best interest is to leave that bloody region,
especially that particular hell-hole which is the densest and most violent place on earth.
I believe that most would gladly take that opportunity if allowed.

«But Israel are 'Gods chosen' so anything and everything is automatically justified»

Please calm down - who told you such nonsense?
Oh please don't tell me that you actually believe it!

«Honestly I'm not sure their God is the same as anyone elses anyway.»

God is one and the same for all, always.

Jews (among others) worship a god, that is with a small-'g'.
not a Capital-'G", that is different.
I could expand on the role of gods if you are interested,
and the important religious role they play,
but do you think the god which Jewish people worship even exists?

The Australian model of a one liberal democratic state for all citizens living in peace and with equal political, social and economic rights in a multicultural society is the best option for Palestinians and the invaders. Macedonia and Palestine have been oppressed by settler colonisists with genocidal crimes. We have never conceded our sovereignty to anyone. We must be free and equal like the rest of humanity.

I agree with Denys, this proposal is breathtakingly naïve. It also has zero chance of working, but it has muddied the waters and made the chances of a sustainable peace even less likely. Some reasons why:

1. The probability of Trump actually being willing to commit tens of billions of dollars and troops and other manpower to rebuilding Gaza over several years is nil. His slashing of aid budgets, and withdrawal of support for Ukraine and disgusting push to commandeer their critical minerals in return for past support, shows the nature of his commitment to international affairs. Altruism and international community building do not feature highly.

2. Most Gazans won’t want to go, and to force them to leave would be ethnic cleansing. However you interpret the history of the region (and it is fiercely contested), forced resettlement is hardly a neutral option.

3. None of the countries in the region want to take resettled Gazans, even temporarily.

4. The UN will fiercely oppose it. The UN does not even recognise Hamas as a terrorist group. So there is every chance Hamas would stand in an election. Last time they did, they won (though it was a long time ago – Gaza has hardly been a thriving democracy since 2007).

I think Trump is dog-whistling to the far right in Israel and the USA that wants to see the forcible expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza and the West Bank as a precursor to the creation of a “greater Israel” – the extremist Zionist equivalent of the Islamic state sought by Hamas and its useful idiot friends abroad who chant “from the river to the sea”. The Zionist vision of this is marginally less appalling because it envisages achieving ethnic cleansing it through mass deportations not mass murder. But it is still appalling.

A simple solution is to send Gazans to Australia. Plenty of room in the wide brown land and huge sympathy throughout for Palestinians.
Another bonus would be increasing the number of Muslims in Australia to around three million.

Great for multiculturalism, great for the suck up to the U.N., and great for the building industry.

Their expertise in tunnel building could be utilised for much needed extensions to the underground rail network; just imagine a tunnel extending from Circular Quay all the way to Mascot. Huge advantages.

Their expertise at violence could be harnessed to quell White Supremacist riots against the beloved Multicultralists and to guard the National heroic flags of First Nations and Homosexual rainbow flags, which should flutter freely in the streets of our great inclusive Nation.

Further employment could be found in subduing unrest among the Jews that might object to their presence, particularly since Australia with its inclusive policies of integration, could advance the cause by settling Gazans away from the Jihad controlled Western Sydney suburbs, with its drug and gun running cousins, settling the Gazans into newly built high rise towers right along the coast, including Bondi and all points north and south.

Ensconced in their new bullet proof abodes, high above the Jews in the Eastern suburbs, finally the Gazans could snipe away for a year and a day at the terrified Jews below.
What a beautiful flower is Multiculturalism! Bring it on Uncle Don!
