Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

“I would like Egypt to take people,” Trump said. “You’re talking about probably a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing and say: ‘You know, it’s over.'”

“I would love for you to take on more, ‘cause I am looking at the whole Gaza Strip right now, and it’s a mess. It’s a real mess.”

“It is literally a demolition site right now, almost everything is demolished and people are dying there,” he said.

“So, I would rather get involved with some of the Arab nations and build housing in a different location, where they can maybe live in peace for a change.”

Here's my proposal, mr presinald drumf: Yeah it's a demolition site. So you know what? Let's rebuild the entire strip. Housing stock. Commercial. Local industry.

China has a really experienced construction industry. Let's pay them. In exchange they can manage a new cargo port. They can also station a single frigate there. Integrate this into Belt & Road.

Then the top 10 military spending nations each contribute a few billion to a permanent air defense system. A mix of permanent radar stations, fixed missile systems, as well as a well stocked MANPADs and mobile air defense. Then the top 10 each contribute some of their fighter stock as well as train Palestinians. Enough fighters are contributed until Gaza has an airforce the same size as Israel and will be permanently maintained as such.

There everyone's MIC gets some tasty contracts, the usual grifters can skim off the top, and Palestine gets a modern air defense force and the assurance of a PLA naval shield.

Genuinely if you actually want a stable two state solution this is how you would accomplish it
