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.
Are those Teslas?
It also envisages an “Elon Musk” manufacturing park located – without irony – on the ruins of the Erez industrial zone.
Yes they are.
I did not have “use NFTs as a tool to fuck over the people of Gaza” on my bingo card
You should have. NFTs and other Crypto schemes are at the forefront of the “Eat the Bugs, Live in the Pod” economic model.
And Palestine is at the forefront of human immiseration. What happensed to Gaza in the 2010s has been rolled out to immigration camps in the US and Europe in the 2020s. What we’re seeing in Gaza today is the future for The West.
No no Guardian, don’t play their game. Ethnic cleansing was literally not a term until the 90s. The Clinton admin made it up out of nothing to justify why the US didn’t have to intervene in Rwanda, and everyone else went with it because it was convenient for them, because everyone else was trying to figure out how they didn’t have to intervene as well. “Ethnic cleansing” is just genocide in a wrapper.
Netanyahu and Trump will go down in history as 21st century genociders. drown in your legacy you absolute pieces of turd. Your grandchildren and children will live with the shame of what you have done.
The genocide was made possibly by the whole US uniparty and the EU. Israel will receive a minor spot in history at the path of self destruction it is on now.
Netanyahu and Trump are nothing but a representation of their respective countries.
yea well ofcourse the collective insanity of about half the citizens of US and EU will also be recited again and again just like it did with Nazi germany.
He don’t GAF I assure you.
GAF? I assume this has to do with what a narcissistic asshole he is. But believe these man are obsessed with their legacy, being worshipped and need approval on a mental disease level. Look at how Elon is trying to impress gamers and geeks and how hard Trump is trying to get a Nobel peace prize. If they die realizing their money empire will collapse and humanity will hate them forever, I believe it will be pretty agonizing for them.
Nothing quite like building a utopia on the corpses of civilians! So many families could raise their children there with big smiles on their faces!!
It’s only insane if it doesn’t work. If the rest of the world is complicit in their genocide, they’ll have no problem accepting this new Gaza resort as being acceptable. Only defeat of the genocidal regime would prevent this.
Dismissed by whom?
What if the Saudis’ Neom was more genocidal and less fiscally sound?
Its odd the R in GREAT is for Reconstitution instead of the more obvious Reconstruction.
Unless the Gazans spearheaded this Hamas free, it’s still cleansing. No idiot can look past this and say otherwise.
So a rebranding of “Trump Gaza Number One”? Nothing new.
