Seen from my car today driving through Tel Aviv today

Funny I saw a photo of that on twitter a few hours ago.

Funny I saw a photo of that on TNCR like 2 seconds ago.

If you take the chatter out, it's a Trumpian statement. Throw something out there outrageous and watch everything scatter.

It gets people thinking and talking.

Next Trump will ponder, "Why don't they just make the plane out of the same material they use for the black box?"

Indeed, throwing gasoline on existing fires tends to do just that.

Steven Wright for President?

OK.

Would somebody lay out a solution to the problem?

Move the folks from Gaza to our new state of Greenland.

In a world without backlash from those with luxury beliefs, I.e. the world as it always was before the modern west and its diseased cultures became prevalent, Trump's idea is fine. But it's unworkable today, and the terrorism would render a vacation resort completely unworkable. (Not to mention the process by which a vacation resort could ever be built. Over the dead bodies of the current inhabitants?) Or that's what I think.

No solution, eh?

These things were always solved with some combination of extermination and assimilation, neither of which is workable today. So, no solution. Just permanent conflict, unless the Palestinian culture evolves.

Too much fuss and diplomacy. Nightmarish legal obstacles as well.

Instead, build some exclusive gated housing developments on a couple of those uninhabited island paradises in the Aleutian chain. Guarantee security with 24/7 Coast Guard patrols.

No fuss, no muss.

We all close our eyes and say "I DO believe in Donald!"?

[Renauda]

And call for a national day of prayer.

[Doctor Phibes]

Ship them all off to Palm Beach.

The fact that Trump's solution to violence in the ME is to build a golf resort would be hysterical if I actually thought he was joking. Somebody really needs to sit him down and say "Donald, it's a fucking stupid idea". I guess he's surrounded by sycophants. Quelle Surprise, as they say in the soon-to-be American Commonwealth of Quebec.

[Axtremus]

Have we tried "no nothing"?
Like, stop meddling, stop "helping" one side or the other; just leave them be and let them hash it out themselves?

I bllieve the plans are to make Gaza look something like this:
