Donald Trump proposes a controversial plan to transform Gaza into a luxury resort for American retirees, involving the forced displacement of Palestinians. This scheme echoes historical American attempts at colonialism in the region, driven by profit and a warped sense of entitlement.
FEBRUARY 9 — There are fever dreams, and then there’s Donald Trump ’s latest imperial daydream — the idea of turning Gaza into the next Palm Beach for white American retirees with deep pockets and an appetite for beachfront property where the locals have been, shall we say, “relocated.”
A former Presbyterian , he now brands himself a “non-denominational Christian,” which roughly translates to: “I don’t go to church, but evangelicals think I’m the second coming of Reagan.” The 19th century was full of Protestant zealots who saw the land as a divine fixer-upper, ripe for the taking. They arrived in the Holy Land armed with Bibles, farming tools, and a stunning lack of self-awareness.In 1820, Presbyterian missionaries set up shop in Palestine to “save the heathens.” The problem? Nobody was interested. Orthodox Christians, Muslims, and even Palestinian Jews took one look at these foreigners and promptly ignored them.
One particularly ill-fated venture in 1866 involved 156 evangelical farmers from Maine led by a guy named George Washington Joshua Adams. They showed up, expected to be greeted as saviours, and were instead promptly outwitted by the Ottomans, who politely suggested they go back to where they came from. They left, tail between their legs, with many of them bankrupt, sick, and wondering why God had forsaken them.
It’s a corporate takeover, with missiles replacing merger deals and entire populations displaced so a handful of executives can get rich.The wildest part? Trump actually believes this will work. Don’t forget to grab a West Bank Whopper at the settler-colony-themed food court, where Palestinian cuisine is served under a different name.
