What’s behind Arab rejection of Trump’s plan for Gaza

It is clearly evident that in rejecting President Trump’s plan for the transformation of the Gaza Strip, the Arab world is, first and foremost, rejecting the rehabilitation of the refugee camps. To understand the deeper meaning of the Arab states’ rejection, one must understand that the Palestinian refugees from the 1948 War of Independence were the cherished political weapon against the Jewish state. Seventy-seven years since that war, and the Arab states are still determined to preserve the refugee camps rather than integrate the refugees into their states.

The Palestinian-Arab refugees from 1948 and 1967 speak the same language as the Arabs in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt and all of the other Arab states. They also share the same Sunni-Islam religious affiliation, along with the same cultural heritage. Yet, with the exception of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, none of the 22 Arab League states were willing to absorb the Palestinian-Arab refugees. Conversely, the Jewish state managed to absorb, with far fewer resources, an even greater number of Jewish refugees from the Arab world. Those Jewish refugees were not placed in separate camps, but were given immediate citizenship and became productive citizens of the State of Israel.

The Gaza Strip is one of the world’s most crowded areas, with one of the least developed infrastructures, even before the current war, which was prompted by the October 7, 2023 massacres of thousands of Israelis. As a result, the living standards in Gaza are extremely poor. The UNRWA schools in the Gaza Strip, rather than providing children with positive educational and life skills, had become a spawning pool for terrorism.

Gaza’s population must be reduced by half and the refugee camps replaced with proper modern housing if there is to be a rise in the standard of living and quality of life.

The hypocrisy of the Arab governments could not be more transparent in their bogus arguments that the Trump plan for Gaza means uprooting a people from their land. First and foremost, the plan calls for voluntary and temporary relocation. The plan will replace the ramshackle “housing” in the camps with apartments equipped with running water, sewer facilities (instead of sewers spilling into the streets and causing disease and foul smells). The Arab brethren of the Palestinian-Arabs refugees “love” them so much, yet they care little for the living conditions in the camps, while they (particularly the Gulf Arabs) live in luxury.

HERE’s WHAT’s REALLY HAPPENING:

Improving the lives of Gazans is the real intention of President Donald Trump, and not some conspiracy cooked up by many Arab leaders. They, unlike Trump, have devoted their political lives to the preservation of hate and animosity toward the Zionist enterprise. They fear that settling the Palestinian-Arabs in a peaceful setting will diminish their efforts to destroy the Jewish state and, turn the focus on them.

The rest of the Middle East has no desire to put up with the hateful, stupid Palis. They’re trouble to the bone and everyone knows it

My tag line applies to every dirt bag in gaza, including ...Oh God No...the chilren.

I know it's the "Final Solution" and it's ugly, but unless the ragheads are willing to take these terrorists into their countries, show me another solution.

They want to kill every Jew and Christian in the world..so what is the alternative?

The Arabs are terrified of a US takeover of GAZA. Trump is forcing them to come up with an Arab plan for the area that includes letting people immigrate out of GAZA

It is worse than thet. Many of the Arab states are 100% complicit in the situation the Arabs of Palestine are in today.

1. They - many of the Arab states - directly went to war to try to destroy the newly indedent state of Israel in 1948. And in that war, as the Arabs lost ground, they encouraged Arabs of Palestine to leave their homes and become refugees.

2. Did they welcome the Arab refugees from Palestine into their arms? No. Meanwhile, the Arab nations expelled from their lands rhe Jews who had lived there for centuries. Meanwhile the Arabs of Palestine who remained within the borders of Israel were made citizens of Israel. The Israelis cared more about all the people in their borders, Jew and Arab, than did the Arab nations that went to war against Israel. They failed in that war, and succeeding only in making more Arabs homeless and stateless.

3. They continued those wars, directly, a number of times after 1948, failing each time and each time encouraging more Arab refugees; and encouraging the Arabs of Palestine to continue to make war on Isreal on their own, rather than settle for what they could and make peace.

4. Meanwhile, the Arabs of Palestine allowed by the Arab states to gain residence there were perpetually held, in almost all cases, as non-citizens, even if they resided beyond “refugee camps”. The Arab states have treated the Arabs of Palestine as second class citizens of the region, while simultaneously using the Arabs of Palestine as political tools against the state of Israel.

5. The Arab states OWE the Arabs of Palestine and its long past time they paid up for conditions the Arab states have been complicit in creating.

Gaza's population must be removed entirely, expelled to other Moslem countries.

All of the remaining buildings in Gaza should be demolished and the rubble ground into pebbles.

Then there can be discussions about rebuilding the area with a new population. I would bet there are some Arab citizens of Israel who can make spectacular deals for the business.

This is an Israeli problem. We should stay out of it as much as possible.

Muslims will forever be a curse on mankind.

Genesis 16:10-12 ..

10 “I will increase your descendants so much that they will be too numerous to count.”

11 “You will give birth to a son. You shall name him Ishmael, for the Lord has hear of your misery.”

12 “He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone’s hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers.”

Ismael was the birth of Islam, they claim he was the chosen 1st born of Abraham.. which is true. But he was not the first born of Sarah, Abraham's wife. Ismael was illegitimate.

This is the biggest reason I believe. Whatever the part of islam the Gazans claim to support is the most brutal, backwards, fanatical cult in the world. Nobody wants that poison injected into their society.

Extermination of the fanatical members should be on the table.

Mohammedans have a solution in their evil minds. One state, one nation, one civilization. Theirs. Jihad continues apace.

The USA lost its bases in Afghanistan.
Russia has Naval bases in Syria and Crimea

The way I see it, a US naval base on the south border of Gaza with Egypt would be advantageous, completely limiting or controlling traffic from Egypt, acting as counterweight to Russia’s influence in the Mediterranean.

The north part of Gaza could be a resort city for wealthy arab tourists.

THE ARAB world has already done one round of taking ‘HAMAS/ GAZA/PALI refugees’.

They already know they cannot contaminate their countries with more troublemakers.

Is this true? If I am remembering correctly, I heard Trump say there will be no returning to Gaza.

I think Trump should have stayed away from out getting involved. Same mistake that was made in Iraq.

If I didn’t have a government that proved it, I wouldn’t have believed that there are a lot of people that don’t want problems to be solved. Just ever-flowing money to “address” them.
