(Don't Worry It's for the People!)
Trump stunned the world today with his blithely unapologetic plans for the mass ethnic cleansing and terraforming of Gaza, after receiving a “golden pager” memento from a smirking Netanyahu—a more cretinous tableau could hardly be imagined:
.

The amount of contradiction leaves one’s head spinning like a dreidel. “No one can live there, the place is hell,” a hangdog, puffy-eyed Trump explains, only moments before triumphantly declaring that the place will be turned into a casino-like ‘Levantine Riviera’ for “the people of the world”; might those be chosen people, mayhaps?
Trump argues that Palestinians deserve to live where they aren’t going to ignominiously “die”, so that’s why an artificial refugee camp—sorry, town—should be erected in Jordan, yet he forgets to mention that the man beside him is the reason those natives-to-the-land are ‘mysteriously’ dying in droves.
The whole press conference smacked of a surreal theater-of-the-absurd, like watching ‘cute’ Munchkins from the Land of Oz ravenously tear into a carcass with blood-soaked mouths. A servile-looking Trump blubbers out his plans for the biggest genocide and mass ethnic cleansing campaign in modern history with the casual air of someone ordering a breakfast sandwich. As per usual, though, the true slap of betrayal lay in the indifference of the establishment media shills, whose jobs should have been to deeply question and probe, set a journalistic flame to such outrages of common consciousness and decency.
Note how unctuously Trump slips the question of who will live in Gaza—not once, but twice. In the above video, a reporter asks Trump if Jewish settlements will be built in Gaza: Trump pretends he didn’t hear them, and answers the question under the pretext it was Palestinian settlements that were asked about.
Then in the video below, he states the US will take over the Gaza strip and “own it”—so an American Mandate for the modern world?
.
.
Finally, CNN’s Kaitlan Collins asks him directly will the Gazans be able to return, and if not, who does Trump envision living in Gaza after the US turns it into a “beautiful place”? Trump’s response is an historic study in slippery artifice, and must be seen to be believed:
.
.
“I envision…world people living there.”
World people? Do they happen to be related to the mysterious Sea Peoples, by any chance? Come to ransack and reclaim the Levant for a second time in as many millennia? Anthropologists the world over are in suspense.
Has a more maddening display of genocide apologetics ever been strutted out and gobbed in orange lipstick before?
Well, what can one say, Israel has found its perfect faithful servant:
.
.
Netanyahu presented Trump with two pagers at a meeting on February 4 — “a regular one and a gold-plated one,” the prime minister’s office stated. Trump responded by saying that “it was a grand operation.”
Trump, before his election, called the Gaza Strip “prime real estate” in a phone call with Netanyahu and asked him to think about what types of hotels could be built there.
.
.
Am I the only one thinking a pager memento is more a subtly threatening reminder to stay in line, rather than a charming keepsake from an old friend?
Okay, so one reporter did manage to somewhat directly challenge Trump’s bold take-over plans: see this.
According to the above, Trump wants to take the Gaza situation completely out of the hands of everyone involved, and truly mark it as a kind of US protectorate. There is maybe some miniscule chance that Trump is actually subverting Israel in the long term with a kind of ‘5D holographic chess’ move. Even famed Mid-East expert Alastair Crooke, in his latest interview with the Duran folks, suggested that Trump essentially ‘saved’ Netanyahu with these latest overtures to keep the truly hardline right-wing Likudniks from taking over, because “better the devil you know”. In other words, Trump at least knows how to work with the more predictable Netanyahu, and keep him somewhat in line.
I do think some people underestimate Trump’s own wiles, so we have to leave it a little open-ended for now—but at face value, it doesn’t look good. After all, just yesterday Trump tacitly invoked Greater Israel by lamenting Israel’s small size in comparison to the rest of the Middle East: see this.
So, Israel has gotten its highest and most authoritative imprimatur for finally getting rid of those peskily scrappy natives: it’s an unprecedented Israeli coup de grace, right?
Well, not quite.
Clouds continue to gather just on the other side of the border, as we have been pointing to here from the start.
