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.

    He could technically deport fellow Mexicans to Gaza. Is that when we say stop?

    I’d also like to add that they outed every single CIA operative hired in the past two years.

    Trump’s Gaza comments hand jihadist terrorists anti-genocide resistance fighters a ‘rallying cry,’

    Dear imperial news… Stop promoting racism and genocide.

      Also notable that basically the whole world condemned this plan. So I’d say it’s a pretty damn broad audience who will rally against this.

      I mean to be fair, it’ll hand both a rallying cry. Both resistance fighters and “let’s bomb some infidels” terrorists don’t like the prospect of an American annexation of Gaza, to put it lightly.

    This is exactly what we don’t need. Another 9/11 like attack could unify all of our politicians (and probably much of the population) behind Trump, which would end up being very bad for everyone. We’ve just arrived at a point where glassing the middle east with nuclear weapons is no longer a common talking point. Please, for fuck’s sake, just sit back and let the federal government implode.

    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.

    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.

      They never really wanted gaza, it’s a small piece of land with little historical ties to the bible/Torah. In fact it has more ties to the philistines (non jewish inhabitants of the area), yes that’s where the word Palestine comes from, who were there historical enemy.

      There long term goal pre October 7th was to try and move all the Palestinians in the rest of Israel into Gaza. You could see this with there funnel immigration policy, if you left Israel for east Jerusalem you couldn’t come back to israel, if you left east Jerusalem for the west bank you couldn’t come back to Jerusalem, if you left the west bank for Gaza you couldn’t come back to the west bank.

      The problem with this plan, besides the ethics of doing a slow ethnic cleansing, was that if you concentrate that many people in an open air prison it tends to radicalize them against the wardens. So they had to deal with constant missile fire, they thought Iron dome would solve this but Oct 7th removed that image of safety.

      So now they need a new plan. They can’t force them out as no country will take them. They can’t occupy it long term because it just becomes a pit to throw Israeli soldiers in, that’s why they left in 2005. So trump volunteering to take it off there hands is the perfect solution, the u.s. can pay the money and lives in a quagmire while the Israelis can “live in peace”

      They surely don’t like this idea but they’re scared of daddy Trump.

      Also they know it’s going nowhere and will be forgotten if they just ignore it.

      That is not, in fact, a rallying cry for Islamists. Fun fact: Even ISIS and Al Qaeda aren’t going around killing infidels abroad for its own sake. Both religiously and practically that’s absolutely moronic. ISIS wants to establish a caliphate led by them, while Al Qaeda attacks the West because it won’t fucking get its nose out of the Middle East. I mean I don’t agree with what they do, but they’re not in it just to kill infidels that’s not how that works.

          Yes, but Al Qaeda’s main immediate focus is on expelling the West (mostly the US) from the Islamic world. In a way they’re revolutionaries while ISIS is an army.

            No? Their goal is the caliphate which is why they were actively fighting Islamic nation’s militaries. The USA out if KSA is part of that goal because the US military would stop them much more teadily than the Saudi army would.

          Why though? I mean they are manifest destiny-style settler colonialists who are more interested in getting the land than killing and expelling the people living on it, so while you can only really do the former after you do the latter even I don’t think “there are… Palestinians there!” serves as a rallying cry for them.
