Summary

Experts warn that Trump’s proposal for the U.S. to “take over” Gaza is fueling jihadist propaganda and could inspire terrorist attacks.

Security analysts say extremist groups will use his remarks to recruit, portraying the U.S. as an occupying force.

Critics, including Sen. Chris Murphy, argue Trump’s rhetoric directly aids terrorist recruitment.

Despite global backlash, Trump has defended his stance.

Former officials warn that, combined with recent cuts to intelligence agencies, these statements heighten the risk of terrorism targeting Americans at home and abroad.

    The tone deaf, imperialist rhetoric supporting Islamic ethnic cleansing from the commander of the world’s most powerful military and nation can radicalized people on matters of survival and principle to fight back with whatever means that they?! Color me shocked.

    Who has the return of the crusades on their bingo cards?

    Genuine question: if israel wants to expand their territory, and it seems clear that they do, why would they want to give gaza to christian americans? Isnt total control their aim? Why would they let america take territory they see as their owm.

      I think their extreme hate of anything Palestinian might just top their desires for the land.
