    Trump’s “vision” for Gaza isn’t innovation—it’s ethnic cleansing repackaged as real estate. Bulldozing 2.3 million Palestinians into Jordan and Egypt isn’t diplomacy; it’s demographic erasure straight from the 1948 playbook. The Nakba never ended—it’s just getting a facelift with billion-dollar bribes and glass skyscrapers.

    Jordan’s king plays along, mouthing empty platitudes about “stability” while his country drowns in refugees. This isn’t peace—it’s a land grab. Gaza isn’t a “diamond” to polish. It’s a graveyard of stolen homes, and Trump’s “Riviera” fantasy is just settler colonialism with a timeshare brochure.

      They want to rebuilt the Temple Mount so Jesus/the messiah can come. It’s religious doctrine and they believe it’s their work. The cooperation and shared goals of Zionists (jewish people and fundamentalist christians) and Christian Nationalists (white nationalists, secure the future for our children types etc) is interesting and terrifying.

      Trump is running his mouth about a Riviera cause real estate is all he knows.

        Your point about the Temple Mount is chillingly accurate. The fusion of apocalyptic religious fervor with geopolitical agendas is a dangerous cocktail. These groups don’t just see land; they see prophecy, and that’s what makes their actions so unrelenting. It’s not about coexistence—it’s about fulfilling a narrative where one side must dominate.

        The alliance between Zionists and Christian Nationalists is indeed both fascinating and horrifying. It’s a marriage of convenience: one chasing divine promises, the other securing cultural hegemony. And yes, Trump’s obsession with real estate reduces everything to dollars and deals, erasing the humanity of those who live there.

        This isn’t just politics; it’s a collision of ideology, greed, and power dressed up as destiny.

        Think the main point was, “let’s not, as a population, vote for ANYONE who commits genocide.” But noooooo. That was too much to ask.

            First, our entire system is made up. The fact that we’ve spent centuries entrenching traditions and imaginary institutions around it has no bearing on the fact we could collectively throw it out tomorrow. Second, there were options besides D and R in the election, regardless of whether or not the population collectively chopped its own dick off and decided not to vote for any of them out of paralyzing fear of the other party winning.

            Me? Own WHAT? A lifetime of never supporting mass murderers? I’m not the cog in the genocidal system, fuckwad. Own the fucking mass murdering politicians you keep voting for out of your own self-instilled sense of helplessness. A world of people like me actually WORKS. A world of people like you dies in a rapidly approaching nuclear holocaust. And the most insufferable part of all is you actually presuming to speak down on US. That’s a firm “fuck you”, to you, from me.

                How’s enabling genocide working out for you? The world is collapsing.

                This hideous reality was here before I was born. God knows what will happen to it in my lifetime, but if it goes away, it will be because of the solidarity of the people, not because of cowards continuing to rubber-stamp every crime against humanity the system wants to commit.

              Biden didn’t fuck up. Zionism is a genocidal ideology, and Biden is a Zionist. Mission accomplished for ol’ sleepy
