““How about we transplant real stones and relics, from the Holy Land, to Greenland, then, we claim they were exposed in a melting glacier. Here is the lost palace of King David and Solomon. Surely the underground vault…”
I predicted what was coming to the Holy Land in this blog. You can look in this blog and read it for yourself. Moving the Jews to Baja will not work because of the rise of the Haredim, who fight with the Secular Socialist Jews who have roots in Turnverein Judaism – that was taken over by Zionists. The holy Zionist HATE Reform Judaism because they recorded their belief the Return to Zion no longer mattered, thus undermining their Holy Claim to Palestinian Land.
U.S. Taxpayers have spent trillions of dollars on THREATENING OTHER NATIONS WITH OUR POWERFUL MILITARY in order to get our way. Trump has leant OUR MILITARY to Religious Fanatics that took over Israel and pushed the Secular Peacemakers – to the ground. This is a religious intervention, and I need SANE Democrats to back my lawsuits. I NEED HELP!
Trump says NO U.S. troops will be needed to protect our U.S. COLONY that will not get Congressional Approval, because OUR Constitution does now allow Nation Building, and the wiping out of a Nation reorganized by the United Nations. If this happens, then every America, wherever they be, will be in the crosshairs of Holy Radical Islamists. Let us look at how the Haredim hate everyone that is not one of them. I suspect they want Gaza as a reward for military successes. Israel and the Republican Party have made eighty million Democrat Citizen of this Democracy – THE ENEMY. How is the being the
MAKER OF PEACE?
If Trump finds out about the Jews wanting to build a new nation in Baja California, will he try to buy it from Mexico in order to build a Secular Riveiera for Seculat Jewish Eggheads that are laiving Israel?
I watched Fox for ten minutes. All Democrats are being lumped with ILLEGAL ALIENS, and thus are NOT FULL CITIZENS. This allows the Christian-right to take over this Democracy, and declare it…
THE HOLY KINGDOM OF JESUS!
If Re[iblican support the First American Colony, then this will be A SIGN of what Jesus wants. The Hatrdim will hate the Half-naked dancer on stage at…
THE TRUMP NAUGHTY TOWERS
Where the Booze, the Gambling, and the Sex – run free! The Mob will have replaced Cuba as the home of the Devil’s Extortion Racket!
Trump administration officials are hurrying to catch up to the president’s audacious and improbable plan for the United States to take ownership of Gaza and redevelop it into a “Middle Eastern Riviera,” trying to wrap their heads around an idea that some hope might be so outlandish it forces other nations to step in with their own proposals for the Palestinian enclave.
President Donald Trump’s idea — announced Tuesday evening at a joint news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — was formulated over time, people familiar with the matter said, and appeared to originate with the president himself. It was only the latest reminder that policy ideas often start with Trump, rather than slowly build through national experts before ultimately reaching the Oval Office for discussion.
Haredi Judaism (Hebrew: יהדות חֲרֵדִית, romanized: Yahadut Ḥaredit, IPA: [ħaʁeˈdi]) is a branch of Orthodox Judaism that is characterized by its strict interpretation of religious sources and its accepted halakha (Jewish law) and traditions, in opposition to more accommodating values and practices. Its members are usually referred to as ultra-Orthodox in English, a term considered pejorative by many of its adherents, who prefer the terms strictly Orthodox or Haredi (plural Haredim). Haredim regard themselves as the most authentic custodians of Jewish religious law and tradition which, in their opinion, is binding and unchangeable. They consider all other expressions of Judaism, including Modern Orthodoxy, as deviations from God’s laws, although other movements of Judaism would disagree.[1]
Israel is one of the few countries whose fundamental character is imperiled. But the main threat is no longer external: it is the internal schism between the Haredi minority—the Ultra-Orthodox—and the rest of society that has the greatest potential to change the country at its the core.
The March 23 election could emerge as an inflection point because Haredi behavior during the coronavirus pandemic has underscored divisions, deepened mutual disdain, and convinced many Israelis things cannot continue as they are. There is a clamor for change.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is secular, but he has always been fully dependent on the Haredim; without the support of several parties representing the community, he has never commanded a genuine Knesset majority. If the nationalist-Haredi coalition is denied a majority on March 23, this could well mean change will come. Fierce opposition from the Haredim is likely, with unpredictable results.
The country of about nine million has other internal fault lines: Jews versus the fifth of its citizens who are Arabs; Middle Eastern versus European-descended Jews; and left versus right, which has morphed into opposition versus support of Netanyahu. But these pale before the secular-Haredi conflict for two reasons: it is a genuine kulturkampf and the Haredi community is growing at rates unmatched in the modern world.
Israel is a modern democracy with a per capita gross domestic product of some $40,000 per year, on par with Britain or France. Its tech sector sprouts world leaders in cybersecurity, nanotechnology, ad tech, biotech, autonomous vehicles, and more. It also punches way above its weight in scientific publications, Nobel prizes, and even exported television formats. It has been ahead of the global curve on certain issues such as gay rights, electing a female leader, and decriminalizing cannabis.
Meanwhile, the Haredim live as a separate community where men are encouraged by rabbinical leaders to devote themselves to studying religious texts at yeshiva seminaries instead of working. Generations are condemned to dependency because 60 percent of Haredi high schoolers go to institutions that, despite state funding, do not teach a core curriculum of math, science, and English. There is an expectation that the state will pay a lifelong stipend to any men who study the Torah, as at least 150,000 currently do. Official government figures show that Haredi men’s participation level in the workforce is only 48 percent—much of it in the form of state-funded make-work for religious functionaries (and their average salary of around $2,000 per month is 60 percent below the national average for men).
The stranglehold religious seminaries have on the Haredi men is maintained by a longstanding deal whereby the state absolves them of otherwise compulsory military conscription if they study the Torah (a tiny minority that enlists anyway are widely shunned by the community).
Women are expected to bear and raise children, run the household, and work. They are not allowed to run for parliament for the Haredi political parties without whom the right-wing has never enjoyed a majority (bar the arguable exception of 1977). These parties occupy themselves with securing state funding for the community and pushing for religious restrictions on the public life of all Israelis, such as preventing civil marriage and blocking commerce, work, and public transport on the Sabbath. Many in the community oppose women singing in public and studies show that two-thirds want gender segregation in public transport. More noteworthy is that 90 percent want the Halakha (Jewish law).
This setup might survive somehow in the current demographic breakdown, but this is where the birthrate comes in. According to the Israel Democracy Institute, Haredi women starting around age 20 have 7.1 children on average—as they have for decades—yielding a poverty ameliorated somewhat by child subsidies forked over by the Israeli taxpayer. The Haredi population, now at around 12 percent, doubles itself every 16 years, four times the rate of the rest of the country. Studies show perhaps 5 percent leave the Haredi lifestyle—not enough to change the projection that they will be a majority well before the century is out.
Modern Israel cannot survive this—there will be no one to fund it—unless the Haredim fundamentally change their behavior and worldview, of which there are no signs. It is more reasonable to foresee that, if anything, the process will be accelerated by secular flight.
Meanwhile, toxicity prevails. Each case of secular outrage over an attempt to silence women singing in public (or even edge cases like attempting to change the name of streets named after women) is met with Haredi dismissal of the so-called “empty cart” of secular culture. Haredim say they are content—the secular camp consider them brainwashed. Perhaps most poisonous, since the Haredim are keeping the nationalist right in power, some view them as perpetuating conflicts with Arabs in which they hypocritically refuse to fight (and laugh at the rejoinder that they are protecting the country no less importantly through prayer). Neither side respects the other.
At its root, officials said, this suggestion was intended in part to spur action on an issue Trump viewed as moribund, with no other nations offering reasonable solutions for how to rebuild an area that has been obliterated by Israeli bombardment following Hamas’ October 7, 2023, terrorist attacks.
However it came about, his unveiling of the idea — which he delivered by reading off notes in the East Room — came as a shock.
One adviser on Middle East issues had not heard the proposal until Trump raised it during his news conference. The official described themselves as stunned.
But others said Trump had run the idea by people in the days ahead of the Netanyahu talks. His Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, who visited Gaza last week, returned to Washington with a dire impression of the devastation he witnessed, conveying to Trump and later to reporters a view that it was no longer habitable.
“It is the buildings that could tip over at any moment. There’s no utilities there whatsoever, no working water, electric, gas, nothing. God knows what kind of disease might be festering there,” Witkoff told reporters Tuesday. “So when the president talks about cleaning it out, he talks about making it habitable. And this is a long range plan.”

Witkoff’s descriptions left an impression on the president, who became preoccupied with the matter. In conversations with aides, he bemoaned what he said was a void of alternative plans being offered by other players in the region.
“The president has said he’s been socialing this idea for quite some time. He’s been thinking about this,” his press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Wednesday.
Still, she acknowledged the idea hadn’t been formalized into written form until Trump voiced it Tuesday.
“The plan was written in the president’s remarks last night as he revealed it to the world,” she said.
And in comments that appeared to soften some of the president’s own stances, Leavitt insisted he was advocating only for a “temporary” relocation of Palestinians from Gaza, despite Trump asserting a day earlier that no one should be returning to the strip. She also said Trump hadn’t committed to sending US troops to Gaza – though he didn’t rule it out – and downplayed possible US financial obligations to securing, as Trump described it, “long-term ownership” of the strip.
A White House official told CNN that Witkoff’s descriptions of his trip were an “inflection point” for the president.
Trump’s close Middle East advisers, like national security adviser Mike Waltz and Witkoff, knew Trump was planning to lay out the proposal on Tuesday, the official said. Waltz and Witkoff discussed the idea with Netanyahu Monday night while meeting with the Israeli leader at Blair House, the official said.
“The notion of lather, rinse, repeat — let’s do the same thing in Gaza we’ve done for decades isn’t going to sustain,” the White House official said of how Trump and his team got to this position. “We’ve been in this loop, this cycle … for too long and it isn’t working.”
Now, Trump’s Middle East brokers are prioritizing “continuing steps,” one source familiar with the strategy told CNN, primarily ensuring that the current ceasefire deal and hostage agreement holds and that all parties “keep their end of the bargain.”
Trump personally maintains he will be able to work out a long-term agreement with Jordan and Egypt to ultimately accept Gazans displaced by his proposed effort, despite those countries rejecting any plan to accept new Palestinian refugees, the White House official said.
That will be central to the discussion Trump has with Jordan’s King Abdullah when he visits the White House next week.
Like many regional leaders, the Jordanian king is now unexpectedly contending with a new dynamic to the deeply complex matter of what to do with Gaza.
Trump’s interest in Gaza’s seaside location
The president’s comments took several Cabinet members in the East Room by surprise. As Republican leaders watched from Capitol Hill, they too were caught off guard by the remarks.
The proposal for Gaza has not come up in private meetings Trump has held with GOP members of the Armed Services Committees, aides said, even though the ceasefire and broader challenges across the Middle East were key points of discussion as late as last week.
“No,” a senior Republican aide told CNN. “Not a word of this was ever mentioned by the president.”
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who was traveling in Guatemala, heard the idea for the first time as he watched Trump’s news conference with Netanyahu on television. The Middle East has been dramatically reduced from his portfolio, with Witkoff, the president’s longtime friend, serving as the US envoy to the region.
Rubio, who Trump said had been patched in by telephone to his meetings with the Israelis “listening to every single word that we say,” wrote on social media afterward: “The United States stands ready to lead and Make Gaza Beautiful Again. Our pursuit is one of lasting peace in the region for all people.”
It was less clear whether Netanyahu knew precisely what Trump intended to say, but the smile that grew across his face made clear that he liked what he heard.
Yet for all of the astonishment at Trump’s own words, when he often sounded more like a real estate developer than an American president, his ideas for Gaza steadily gathered steam as the day wore along as he welcomed Netanyahu to the White House. He read from a prepared text the sentence that caused a global double-take: “The US will take over the Gaza Strip.”
Jared Kushner suggests Israel should move Palestinians out of Gaza and ‘clean it up’

A day after Trump made his comments, Waltz suggested it had been in the works for some time.
“We’ve been looking at this over the last weeks and months, and frankly he’s been thinking about it since October 7,” Waltz said Wednesday on CBS.
“He’s not seeing any realistic solutions on how those miles and miles and miles of debris are going to be cleared,” Waltz went on to say. He added: “The fact that nobody has a realistic solution, and he puts some bold, fresh, new ideas on the table, I don’t think should be criticized in any way. I think it’s going to bring the entire region to come with their own solutions if they don’t like Mr. Trump’s solutions.”
In public and private conversations over the last year, Trump has repeatedly highlighted the value of Gaza’s seaside location, suggesting it was prime real estate for development.
His son-in-law Jared Kushner made a similar argument last year, calling Gaza’s waterfront “very valuable.” Kushner is not serving in Trump’s White House, as he did during his father-in-law’s first administration, but is nonetheless viewed as a sounding board on key issues, including in the Middle East.
Trump, speaking on Inauguration Day last month, offered hints at where his Gaza plan may be headed.
“It’s a phenomenal location, on the sea, the best weather. Everything’s good. Some beautiful things could be done with it,” Trump said shortly after being sworn in. He said then he “might” be willing to help with reconstruction.
That openness to help clearly evolved over the ensuing two weeks to the plan he unveiled Tuesday to take control of the strip — potentially with the help of US troops — and rebuild it into an “international, unbelievable place.”
Sending US troops to the region would be in stark contrast to Trump’s long-held critique of nation building and foreign entanglements. He was among the sharpest critics of Republican orthodoxy of national building during the George W. Bush administration.
“We are ending the era of endless wars. In its place is a renewed, clear-eyed focus on defending America’s vital interests,” Trump told West Point cadets in 2020. “It is not the duty of US troops to solve ancient conflicts in faraway lands that many people have never even heard of.”
