Egypt and Jordan have been quick to criticize claims from President Trump that they should accept around 1.5 MILLION Palestinian refugees as part of Israel’s efforts to “just clean out” the Gaza Strip. As it was all too easy from Trump to go from taking credit for a temporary ceasefire deal in Gaza, to voicing support for a complete ethnic cleansing of the besieged enclave.
Veteran Palestinian-American Journalist Said Arikat noted that Trump’s latest rhetoric, which echoes back to his son-in-law Jared Kushner’s comments about Gaza’s valuable “waterfront property,” is a reminder that Trump has given Netanyahu the green light to further terrorize the Occupied West Bank, and Israel is doing just that.
Meanwhile, Palestinian-American Journalist and Executive Director of the Electronic Intifada, Ali Abunimah, was just kidnapped by police in Switzerland, held in prison where he wasn’t allowed to contact his lawyer, and then deported, all for the “crime” of being invited to the country to speak about Palestine.

“Kidnapped’ or “taken hostage” would be the correct terms as it appears to be an extra-legal detention including denying him his rights. Thank you for saying it like it is, Rachel.
What kind of person can step over the bodies of dead Palestinians and talk about turning the region into beachfront properties for the rich and powerful?
Ali never made it to the speech he was due to make. He was told at the airport that he could enter Switzerland. All he did whilst there was have lunch, take a walk, buy a souvenir, have breakfast, walk part way to the new venue of the speech, because the original venue fell through, then he was arrested. So nothing he did was illegal in Switzerland, or anywhere else.
Still a “mystery” — now it is only 1.5M — where has ~0.8M “disappeared” ?
All dead ???????!!!!!

Great interview from my Favorite JOURNALIST
Thanks, Rachel!
Would a 1 million dollar payout per person ease the pain to leave Gaza? Would Israel ever do it? Would that ease the pain for the Palestinians to leave Gaza?
A 1 millions reparations for genocide per person to rebuild would be more appropriate
