Summary
Donald Trump is pressuring Jordan and Egypt to accept his plan to relocate nearly 2 million Palestinians from Gaza, threatening to cut U.S. aid if they refuse.
His proposal, which aims to transform Gaza into “the Riviera of the Middle East,” has sparked backlash from Middle Eastern leaders, including Jordan’s King Abdullah II.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio is engaging regional leaders but has avoided confirming whether Palestinians could return.
Analysts argue Trump’s approach risks further destabilizing the region and undermining U.S. influence in Middle East diplomacy.
What really bothers me more than anything else is that when this inevitably happens and those resorts are built on top of human corpses, thousands, if not millions, of people will absolutely not give a shit and flock to them every year for decades. From the moment they get built, they will have no problem with vacancies.
I want to be wrong, but I have absolutely no faith left in humanity.
Guaranteed. Most of the worlds population simply just doesn’t care about Palestinians. Every time I bring it up in conversation, it’s always met with an indifference “yeah, that’s terrible”
Many people on Lemmy do not care about Palestinians. Oh, sure, they claim they care while pointing fingers and accusing people of supporting genocide, but lately I’ve been asking if people will write an email to a politician or a celebrity or a business leader, anyone who has the ability to talk to the media, and ask them to use that ability to talk about the plight of Palestinians. One person, and not a person I asked directly, said they would email their Senator.
And at this point, I have to wonder how many of the people right now very happy to accuse others of supporting genocide will be sitting on a private beach at a resort in Gaza because, “I know it’s really terrible what happened here, but it was such a bargain!”

It’s almost like after months of having their concerns dismissed and being called Russian plants or whatever else people aren’t inclined to engage in political action alongside the
kindakinds of people who they think said those things. Oh well, at least this is just a silly thing that happens on social media and doesn’t have any relevance at all to the Democratic party’s ability to turn out votes or anything /se; fixed a typo and added some words to make my point clearer
Yes, giving up because it’s hard and people are meanies and just endlessly arguing about an election that ended months ago is what you and others have decided is the plan on Lemmy. I have already noted it.
I can see you will not be rising to that challenge to email anyone.
Oh they never emailed them even when they were loud. I did, but I don’t know if they cared.
They may not care, but actually trying is better than pointing fingers at each other. Unfortunately “point fingers at each other” seems to be what people prefer in general.
Aid from US? The same one Space Karen is destroying? He’s threatening to withhold something that is most likely to discontinue in the very near future?
Art of the deal, indeed.
Imagine they accept the refugees, then a rug pull happens and aid stops anyway
Have ya met us? It’s what we do
Did he not considering the staggering cost to relocate and then take care of millions of people? The logistics, rehousing, and stabilization could cost 50k per person easily. That could be 100 billion dollars initially and that is just the start of the cost.
Who is going to pay for this stupid poorly thought up plan. Oh wait, I get it, the poor American worker. Looks like it is time to tighten our belts so Aotus can start his next beach front development gig.
Lol trump?? Thinking??? Lol
Isn’t he already withholding aid?
