Trump’s Riviera from Gaza rubble: Nazi-Zionist imperialism at play

If there is someone who can be described as the most dangerous man on earth and the biggest threat to world peace today, it is none other than Donald Trump, the President of the United States. Shame on 77,284,118 Americans who elected him in November 2024, knowing well he was not normal. He is known to suffer from a narcissistic personality disorder, which makes him boast, lie, and behave in an ‘I-know-all’ attention-seeking manner, but it did not deter them from electing him.

In what could be the height of this disorder, Trump, since taking office on January 20, has been dropping a series of bombshells, which certainly should have rung alarm bells in the US officialdom. His behaviour is increasingly erratic, abnormal, and vengeful.

Apart from halting USAID operations and summoning a list of FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) officials who had a role in the prosecution of Trump-backed insurgents of January 6, 2021, the biggest shocker was Tuesday’s announcement that he was going to make the Gaza Strip the Riviera of the Middle East by permanently displacing the Palestinian population to Egypt, Jordan, and other countries.

The Trump plan is Israel’s plan in a different shape. Ethnic cleansing of Palestinians is the common objective. What Israel could not achieve with its 15-month-old genocidal campaign, Trump is trying to achieve through his Riviera plan under the veneer of a “generous move.”

His plan is a clear violation of international law and an affront to justice, but he remains unconcerned. Only Nazis and Zionists prepare such outlandish plans. Looks like the Americans have voted into office a Nazi regime that believes not in a rules-based order but in the law of the jungle. Trump’s billionaire backer Elon Musk’s Nazi salute at the inauguration party may not have been a coincidence, after all.

A right-minded leader will never entertain such a plan that amounts to ethnic cleansing, an out-and-out crime against humanity. Who does Trump think he is to decide the fate of the Palestinians? As a leader of the most powerful nation on earth, he should act responsibly and pursue soft-power diplomacy to achieve national-interest goals.

Tuesday’s Trump shocker had its prelude in his pen analogy a day before. Sitting in the Oval Office, he answered a journalist’s question about the possibility of Israel annexing the West Bank: “It (Israel) certainly is a small, it’s a small country in terms of land…. See this pen? This wonderful pen on my desk is the Middle East, and the top of the pen—that’s Israel.”

What an analogy! Only Nazis would approve of it. If on the basis of smallness, every nation begins to take a piece of another nation, the world will be full of chaos and wars. Trump was, in fact, justifying the Zionist vision of creating a greater Israel expanding from the Nile in Egypt to the Euphrates in Iraq.

The 1917 Balfour Declaration pales into insignificance when compared to Trump’s outlandish utterance on Tuesday at the joint media briefing with the visiting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the wanted war crimes suspect. Although loathsome, the Balfour Declaration, at least, recognised the civil and religious rights of Palestine’s non-Jewish population. It did not call for the ethnic cleansing of the non-Jewish population, unlike Trump’s abhorrent declaration that has brought much glee to the Zionists who are on a genocidal path to annihilate the Palestinian presence in the Gaza Strip first and the West Bank next.

Netanyahu later told Fox News that Trump’s “remarkable” plan should be pursued, examined, and done.

Trump said the US would take over and own Gaza. Initially, those who heard it thought it was a joke. We pinched ourselves to feel we were not living in the past when empire-building European nations colonised weaker nations at will. In today’s hyper-liberal era, when freedom and justice are held sacrosanct, imperialism has no place and should be unequivocally denounced.

Thankfully, Trump’s Gaza Riviera project, replete with casinos, beach resorts, malls, golf courses, and brothels, has no takers outside his circle and Israel. Egypt, Jordan, and all Arab nations have rejected it outright, sending Trump a message that even if they face aid cuts and even if they are imposed 100 percent tariffs, they will not agree to the plan. Saudi Arabia, one of the nations Trump is banking on to fund the Gaza Riviera project, is quick to react. Within 20 minutes of Trump’s announcement, the Saudis told him politely that they were not on board. Instead, they reiterated their position that the setting up of the Palestinian state is a condition for any Saudi cooperation.

Trump is pursuing crude and naked imperialism, which his predecessors carried out subtly under the pretext of promoting democracy and fighting terrorism.

Trump’s criminal imperialism should be nipped in the bud by all means. Apart from creating a Riviera from the rubble in Gaza, the eccentric president also eyes Greenland and Canada. A Danish politician, Anders Vistisen, angry at Trump’s plan to take over Greenland, had this to say while addressing the European Parliament last month: “Greenland has been part of the Danish kingdom for 800 years. It’s an integrated part of our country. It is not for sale….Let me put it in words you might understand. Mr. Trump, f*** off.”

Similarly, Gaza, the West Bank, and every square millimetre Israel is occupying are an integral part of Palestine. It does not belong to ruthless, colonialist Ashkenazi Jews who have their origins in Khazaria, which existed in the 7th to 10th centuries in present-day southern Russia, Ukraine, Crimea, and parts of Kazakhstan.

In Gaza, the Palestinians who matter have rejected outright the Trump plan. “We live here and we die here, no matter what,” says their message to Trump. Even if Trump uses military force, which he did not rule out on Tuesday, “we, who endured 15 months of Israel’s genocide and 78 years of Israeli horror, will not abandon our land and move into Egypt or Jordan.”

Reconstruct, the US must do, but not at the expense of ethnically cleansing Gaza. After all, it was the US-supplied weapons that destroyed Gaza and killed 50,000 or more Palestinians, including children.

Amid growing condemnations and opposition to the Trump plan, the White House clarified yesterday that there would be no boots on the ground, and the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, said the relocation of the Gaza Palestinians would only be temporary. Note, Trump on Tuesday insisted that it would be permanent. But such assurances couched in Rubio’s Zionist shenanigans lack credibility.

Handing over Gaza to Israel is probably the eventual plan of the Trump administration that is filled with Zionism worshippers. With the ceasefire, especially the third phase that calls for the reconstruction of Gaza, in doubt following the Trump plan, the possibility of Israel resuming its genocide cannot be ruled out.

Meanwhile, the US justice system recognises that the military is obligated to follow only lawful orders. If Trump decides to send troops to Gaza to ethnically cleanse the Palestinian people from Gaza, the US troops can and should defy the commander in chief’s illegal order to commit a crime against humanity.
