If we're speaking historically, this is reminiscent of Andrew Jackson's Indian Removal Act (Trail of Tears). Except Jackson was expanding the *American* influence over the *American continent*, not the fucking *jewish* influence over the *Arabian* subcontinent.
I get it that Trump floats some crazy ideas and sees how it polls - this one has to be in the tank for him. Support for Israel and foreign wars in general has been tanking; I can't see how he goes through with this. I'm wondering if he's just throwing it out there for "muh greatest ally" to save face with them, with plans to shelf the idea when the people roundly reject it.
We'll see. He's certainly Art of the Deal-ing this one - the US won't outright take over Gaza and displace the natives, but he has tipped his hand that he wants to do (or is open to doing) something to that end.
