Leaked ‘Gaza Riviera’ plan dismissed as ‘insane’ attempt to cover ethnic cleansing (www.theguardian.com)

A plan circulating in the White House to develop the “Gaza Riviera” as a string of high-tech megacities has been dismissed as an “insane” attempt to provide cover for the large-scale ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian territory’s population.

Named the Gaza Reconstitution, Economic Acceleration and Transformation Trust – or GREAT – the proposal was reportedly developed by some of the same Israelis who created and set in motion the US- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) with financial planning contributed by Boston Consulting Group.

Most controversially, the 38-page plan suggests what it calls “temporary relocation of all of Gaza’s more than 2 million population” – a proposal that would amount to ethnic cleansing, potentially a genocidal act.

Palestinians would be encouraged into “voluntary” departure to another country or into restricted, secure zones during reconstruction. Those who own land would be offered “a digital token” by the trust in exchange for rights to redevelop their property, to be used to finance a new life elsewhere. Those who stay would be housed in properties with a tiny footprint of 323 sq ft –minuscule even by the standards of many non-refugee camp homes in Gaza.

They will rebuild it very fast to cover up the crimes that were committed.

Over time it will be wiped from the internet too and any discussion of it will be suppressed.

They won’t build it at all, they will kill the people and not spend billions creating entire cities for nobody to live in or need afterwards.

Yes, they will. Within a few months of Oct 7, Kushner was already negotiating to build luxury hotels, condos, and casinos. They want an Israeli version of Dubai, so the super wealthy can throw their money around with Jews instead of Arabs. We even had Trump saying "we" be in control of rebuilding. He wasn't clear who "we" is, but he undoubtedly means his family, not America.

They are already doing the marketing. His unofficial Secretary of Faith, has already said that God has TOLD her that in the future, Christians will have to make at least one pilgrimage to Israel, if they expect to get into heaven, the way the Muslims have to make a Hajj, and visit Mecca at least once.

And isn't that convenient that Trump and Kushner has built you a nice expensive hotel to stay in while you and your family are there?

They are literally building settlements in west bank... I don't understand where this is coming from.

And have been waiting on the border of Gaza for almost a year already.

I'm talking about the 'high-tech megacities' mentioned in the article.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 3 points 19 hours ago

Look into what they did in west bank. Not far off.

High tech here means surveillance regime

I think a terroristic group will build new tunnels and headquartes under hospitals and schools.

[–] BruceAlrighty@lemmy.nz 6 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Why would Israel build tunnels and headquartes under its lebensraum?

Come on boy....
