    So apparently there’s still no plan. Trump created some big news trying to force Arab countries to deal with this, but I doubt America has much leverages left. Now with USAID gone, the influence was even less.

      Wait, you mean threatening Egypt and then asking them to do you a favor wasn’t a good idea? If they were thinking that the U.S. might not be reliable and BRICS might not be the answer before, I think we cemented their concerns with us.

      my grandma says that about the cookies fitting into the jar and I naturally reduce the numbers to manageable amounts. This is was the game plan all along. Why slaughtering left and right? To get the numbers down and act like they did a service.

        They’ve killed about 50,000. There are 2,000,000 Palestinians in Gaza. Jordan and Egypt won’t take them since it would seriously destabilize those countries, and it’s not like the US will volunteer. Israel would have to implement a second Holocaust to enact this plan and I don’t even think the Israeli public has the stomach for that.

        They have no plan.

          Let’s hope you are right and they don’t have a final solution all along. I’m not longer surprised by how much apathy humans can have for other humans.

          Given what I think was Trump not recognizing what numbers were classified and stating them publicly, the death toll seems to be in the 300,000 - 500,000 range.

      I was calculating about $100 billion conservatively to relocate 2 million people. The long term cost could be over a trillion. I wonder why everyone is balking at the idea of taking them in.

        I think it’s also just the destabilizing effect of adding millions of immigrants. Jordan is only 11-12M people; Egypt is about 10x that amount. Both are strongly anti-Islamist and anyone who takes in Palestinians would be taking in some % of Hamas.

    Not a surprising stance from Israel’s Netanyahu. I wonder how Fiji’s Netanyahu will respond…?
