05 May Take control: Gaza Strip
What a nice place…
Lots of sun all year round with 140 square miles (363 square km) along the Mediterranean Sea, desert landscapes, historical architecture…in ruins now. Yeah, surely this recom. you wont have on the TripAdvisor or Expedia brochure.
Guessed already?! Yes, its all about GAZA STRIP. This holy place is, indeed, in ruins now. Surprisingly for many Westerners and Easterners — for any who used to the 3+ stars to lux comfort with a fancy roof and finely running sewage system — the city of Gaza still is a happy dearest home for Palestinians.
Gaza Feb 2025. Quite different look compare to the pic above, made in 2022…Another angle? Yeap that’s must be it, LOL More pics
What’s that? Why… WHY THE HELL people who suffered and have seen so much horror on this land are still willing to come back and stay no matter what? More to say, the place is extremely abandon now, non-hygiene, lacking aid – food or medicine — , and clean water. Is it the religious thingy? Fear to leave their beloved home? Or are they just stubborn to change?
To me, this is a combination of both — belief and the will to not back down, ever. Too many years they have spend on holding the ground, roughly from 1947 year I suppose, since then whoever lived in Gaza, on the border between Israel and Palestine, and in some of the Israeli cities were in constant pressure to leave. The “constant pressure” might not clearly tell what was really happening there in form of isolation, additional tax, humiliation at work or at school, and just a non-stop ‘punchy’ look at one another. It was all about who holds more land and superior friends, such as the US, Uk, Russia, Arabian Gulf monarchies, and couple other European states were in count. Now its pretty much a bit different picture: not much land is left for Palestinians, they are weakened and facing a further expulsion; Israeli is more militaristically advanced with more and more resources in hands; trade businesses baffling strings of interests between pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian ; new wars lowering sensibility to the long-lasting disputes;…
“Rivera in the Middle East” project…To relocate all Palestinians either to Jordan or Egypt.
TO BE OR 'whatta B*?'
“To take over Gaza!” … “Move Palestinians to neighbouring countries…” phrases thrown to the table, and guess from who…ahem, the West, of-course.
GOOD and BAD NEWS: The “two-states” solution that seems to be the most humane and well respected to both parties, also strongly proposed by China, RSA, Saudi Arabia, Turkey… might never reach the final ink-on-paper stage, with a stamp on. How realistic is the “Rivera” project? For 2025 year its quite unknown except pounding instability on the borders with other Arabs neighbs .
Even if the”two states” solution would be chosen for now, how long it would last? Bet for sometime, if only there would be another The Great Wall of China in between!… Dare to start building The Great Wall for Palestine now.
Oh yeah, sure the “one-state” solution is precisely, was always on the table — for whatever table I’m talking here — since um,…1948, which is the start date of the Israel-Palestine co…er land-sharing, bloodletting ‘co-residency’. It was impossible then — back in 20s century — and now you could be jeered at mentioning it for a peace recipe; whats been built on those territories is too precious to lose now, here would go a city’s infrastructure, institutions, business corp., weapon system…– who would ever EVER give an access to their own weapons, to a ‘nuke’ button, especially to your old and all-time enemy?! Never on my watch.
pack you bags or and go f…figure
Any better...?
Better than “two-states”solution? The one that Saudi offered recently? ( still have no clue what was about it, only can guess)
Short recap : 1)”Two states” choice the top priority to zip this conflict for another 5 or 10 years, and neeh, not gonna bet for more.
2) Relocate Palestinians wherever — ‘near to their buddies’ as it was mentioned somewhere — and make America…er, yeah ‘Great Again’ in the Mid East; “Rivera of the Middle East”.
3) The last one, 3rd on my list, “last to the dust” or ’till the last’ whatever sounds scarier — removed from the map, included in another ‘…world has never seen’ Trump’s rhetoric .
First one, the most humane — might say even ‘friendly’ to Palestinians — compare to other ways to quit fighting; Chance to save their placement, their religiously believed settlement for another whatsoever years, and basically not failing to stand against Israel for this whole time. No matter how boldy I want to mark this option, it might be petered away soon: in practice all rather reckon on warmongering rhetoric — easy and what all used to.
Second one is more like ‘trouble out — fire the fount’, Trumpies approach, in favour of Israel and root-cutting ‘forceful’ to Palestinians. Israel would be dealing with their friend (US), trying to share it in fact taking it after talk-at-the-dock making a deal-bill; Palestinians would have no way back — at least for another decade — say good-bye to their beloved original placement with no chance to comeback peacefully in coming years forcing to create their new Gaza somewhere on Islamic territories.
Third one — spilling blood till the last — is about continue the fight and ethnic cleansing to eliminate so-called existential threat, would only raise more instability in the Mid East, all might culminate in a genocidal attack on minorities. The worst is to know that this is actually a plan A (untold) for both sides of a conflict.
