Summary

Experts warn that Trump’s proposal for the U.S. to “take over” Gaza is fueling jihadist propaganda and could inspire terrorist attacks.

Security analysts say extremist groups will use his remarks to recruit, portraying the U.S. as an occupying force.

Critics, including Sen. Chris Murphy, argue Trump’s rhetoric directly aids terrorist recruitment.

Despite global backlash, Trump has defended his stance.

Former officials warn that, combined with recent cuts to intelligence agencies, these statements heighten the risk of terrorism targeting Americans at home and abroad.

    I’d also like to add that they outed every single CIA operative hired in the past two years.

    Fantastic job, assholes.

    Trump’s Gaza comments hand jihadist terrorists anti-genocide resistance fighters a ‘rallying cry,’

    Dear imperial news… Stop promoting racism and genocide.

      Also notable that basically the whole world condemned this plan. So I’d say it’s a pretty damn broad audience who will rally against this.

      You’re trying to tell me there is no such thing as jihadist terrorists?because if you don’t I can send you a long LONG list of terror attacks by jihadist terrorists that killed countless innocent men, women, and children.

      Now before you take this away and claim i support genocide, because that’s the world we live in now, I don’t. Obviously.

      Once freedom fighter is a other ones terrorist

      Having said that, jihadist terrorists have caused untold suffering as well. This might sound strange, but both sides can be bad and things like collateral damage don’t justify the suffering these groups have caused.

      The Israeli government (not it’s people, just it’s vile leaders) should be put against the wall and shot for all the (child) murders and genocide. The same, however, goes for the jihadist terrorist groups, they too should be eradicated for the countless innocent people (and children) they’ve murdered

    The tone deaf, imperialist rhetoric supporting Islamic ethnic cleansing from the commander of the world’s most powerful military and nation can radicalized people on matters of survival and principle to fight back with whatever means that they?! Color me shocked.

    Who has the return of the crusades on their bingo cards?

    This is exactly what we don’t need. Another 9/11 like attack could unify all of our politicians (and probably much of the population) behind Trump, which would end up being very bad for everyone. We’ve just arrived at a point where glassing the middle east with nuclear weapons is no longer a common talking point. Please, for fuck’s sake, just sit back and let the federal government implode.

    Yeah so we know that cheeto isn’t capable of thinking ahead for more than 30 seconds, but seriously, he couldn’t see this coming?

    He basically gave a nice big gift with a cherry in too to all terrorism networks in the world. Maybe Trump should become marketing manager for AlQaeda? I mean, I think few could have done a better job.

    Having said that: expect terrorism to rise over the next few years like there is no tomorrow, literally.

    Genuine question: if israel wants to expand their territory, and it seems clear that they do, why would they want to give gaza to christian americans? Isnt total control their aim? Why would they let america take territory they see as their owm.

      They never really wanted gaza, it’s a small piece of land with little historical ties to the bible/Torah. In fact it has more ties to the philistines (non jewish inhabitants of the area), yes that’s where the word Palestine comes from, who were there historical enemy.

      There long term goal pre October 7th was to try and move all the Palestinians in the rest of Israel into Gaza. You could see this with there funnel immigration policy, if you left Israel for east Jerusalem you couldn’t come back to israel, if you left east Jerusalem for the west bank you couldn’t come back to Jerusalem, if you left the west bank for Gaza you couldn’t come back to the west bank.

      The problem with this plan, besides the ethics of doing a slow ethnic cleansing, was that if you concentrate that many people in an open air prison it tends to radicalize them against the wardens. So they had to deal with constant missile fire, they thought Iron dome would solve this but Oct 7th removed that image of safety.

      So now they need a new plan. They can’t force them out as no country will take them. They can’t occupy it long term because it just becomes a pit to throw Israeli soldiers in, that’s why they left in 2005. So trump volunteering to take it off there hands is the perfect solution, the u.s. can pay the money and lives in a quagmire while the Israelis can “live in peace”

      I think their extreme hate of anything Palestinian might just top their desires for the land.

      They surely don’t like this idea but they’re scared of daddy Trump.

      Also they know it’s going nowhere and will be forgotten if they just ignore it.

          He means it but I think this one will be way too unpopular to go anywhere. But we’ll see I guess. I’m no prophet.

      Eventually America will get bored and vacate the land, so the logical choice for an ally to take over is Israel
