May a cleated boot find it. Repeatedly.
Have you heard the saying cut off your nose to spite your face?
The world needs to take a good hard look at Israel and realize they are repeating history.
I struggle to remember which series it was exactly (obviously prior to 2004). This is a memory I have etched in. My World History teacher in 10th grade gave an overview of the entire year’s curriculum on the first day. She had the class watch a large portion of what I believe was the last episode of Mobile Suit Gundam Wing (possibly it was Victory Gundam; I only watched Fighter G Gundam). By the end she made it very clear that history repeats. That was the theme of her curriculum for the whole school year.
Right now we are seeing history repeat. This time it is the formerly oppressed committing the crimes against humanity and being aided by the rest of the globe. What did Palestine ever do to Israel except seek statehood? Why can’t we leave them alone?
On an unrelated note, that teacher was awesome. I remember the week leading into the lesson on World War I, they staged incidents where select students would pretend to misbehave and not be punished in any way by the teacher. These were elaborate scenes of shouting. The lesson you might ask? Secret alliances.
You might appreciate an addition to the well known phrase:
Those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it. Those who know history are doomed to know that it’s repeating.
Genocide Joe!
Heh, bet you feel stupid now for criticizing the past president for doing something that the new president is continuing to do, heh. I'm smugly hypocritical and therefore correct.

Why does Egypt fear evacuating Gaza?
[*]
Truly I love falling for the same thing for (coming up on) a decade!!
Trump’s “vision” for Gaza isn’t innovation—it’s ethnic cleansing repackaged as real estate. Bulldozing 2.3 million Palestinians into Jordan and Egypt isn’t diplomacy; it’s demographic erasure straight from the 1948 playbook. The Nakba never ended—it’s just getting a facelift with billion-dollar bribes and glass skyscrapers.
Jordan’s king plays along, mouthing empty platitudes about “stability” while his country drowns in refugees. This isn’t peace—it’s a land grab. Gaza isn’t a “diamond” to polish. It’s a graveyard of stolen homes, and Trump’s “Riviera” fantasy is just settler colonialism with a timeshare brochure.
They want to rebuilt the Temple Mount so Jesus/the messiah can come. It's religious doctrine and they believe it's their work. The cooperation and shared goals of Zionists (jewish people and fundamentalist christians) and Christian Nationalists (white nationalists, secure the future for our children types etc) is interesting and terrifying.
Trump is running his mouth about a Riviera cause real estate is all he knows.
Your point about the Temple Mount is chillingly accurate. The fusion of apocalyptic religious fervor with geopolitical agendas is a dangerous cocktail. These groups don’t just see land; they see prophecy, and that’s what makes their actions so unrelenting. It’s not about coexistence—it’s about fulfilling a narrative where one side must dominate.
The alliance between Zionists and Christian Nationalists is indeed both fascinating and horrifying. It’s a marriage of convenience: one chasing divine promises, the other securing cultural hegemony. And yes, Trump’s obsession with real estate reduces everything to dollars and deals, erasing the humanity of those who live there.
This isn’t just politics; it’s a collision of ideology, greed, and power dressed up as destiny.
The death cult marches ever onward, at least we got cheaper eggs before ushering in the rapture.
oh wait...
You have quite a way with words
Ethnic cleansing for real estate is a story as old as Israel.
Shit president
I'm trying to decide if Netanyahu suggested this to him or if it's a surprise? What's more likely? On the one hand I can understand the idea that Netanyahu after committing genocide and wiping out as many Palestinians as he could is looking for a way to push the blame and the responsibility to someone else. I could absolutely see that. Especially the financial responsibility. On the other hand fascist strongman usually don't like others coming in and getting the symbolic benefits of what they achieved. I really can't decide.
Most likely Trump proposed the idea and it fit with Bibi's plans to get rid of the Palestinians, he just doesn't have to kill them. I'm sure some combination of Trump, Kushner and/or other developers made plans for this "Riviera of the Middle East". Probably building models right now if they weren't already.
To Trump there are no negatives to this plan since the plan is to make money. All he has to do is strongarm another Middle Eastern country, or two or three, to take the Palestinians. He can't conceive how this will affect the Middle East in general because he doesn't understand or care.
a bet it's a string from a donor
We need living space!
Good luck
