Let us face the facts; is there any other option ?
The Arab countries won't fund the clearing and rebuilding just to install another group of terrorists to do it all again and again ! The Gazans can sit in the ruins and rave on and on and no one else is going to spend such enormous amount of money just to have to go do it all over again five years later. Even Trump might pull out if the Koran is not modified by the Islamic scholars to remove the verses calling for the killing of Jews. btw, I heard a discussion about laws passed today in Canberra about hate speech. Will that apply to printed text ? If so the Koran will be banned ! Posted by Bezza, Thursday, 6 February 2025 10:23:47 PM

Well, as could be expected, Trump’s test balloon is beginning to deflate somewhat and has already lost quite a bit of height. It’s gradually coming down but the westerly wind blowing in from the (extreme) right continues to keep it in the air. Coming from a visionary real estate multi-billionaire, the idea was quite brilliant really, but a luxury riviera with five-star accommodation and room service would be far beyond the reach of the poor average Palestinian family. Far too upmarket. They could never afford it. I guess that explains why Trump took the precaution of saying that the new Middle East Riviera would rival with the world’s best and be sure to attract members of the wealthy jet-set from all around the world … not just the Palestinians but ... including the Palestinians. He probably had in mind those Palestinians who are wealthy members of Hamas which the US lists as an Islamist terrorist organisation generously financed by Iran, Qatar, Sudan, Turkey, Algeria and a few others. The cash-loaded Hamas boys could climb out of their underground tunnels, for example, on weekends, public holidays and summer vacations, or even take special leave, and enjoy the luxuries of Trump’s fabulous Middle East Riviera. Hey ! That's great isn't it ? Sounds like a bonanza ! Let's "Make Gaza Great Again" ! . Posted by Banjo Paterson, Friday, 7 February 2025 2:53:18 AM

"At the same time, Leavitt walked back Trump's earlier assertion that Gazans needed to be permanently resettled in neighbouring countries, saying instead that they should be "temporarily relocated" for the rebuilding process.
US secretary of state Marco Rubio also said the idea was for Gazans to leave the territory for an 'interim' period of reconstruction and debris-clearing."
Should I believe this, or does someone have a bridge to sell me?
* 'an interim period of reconstruction and debris-clearing'
How dumb would you have to be to believe this was their sole intention.
