Donald Trump Solves the Gaza Crisis
(Commentary) John Podhoretz - To all those who've been screaming for 16 months about the "day after" in Gaza, here's the plan, says Donald Trump. Trump asserted the will of the U.S. as the world's most dominant nation in saying something must be done about Gaza. What must be done is it needs to be cleared and rebuilt. Who's going to pay for it are the fellow Arabs who have been "supporting" the Palestinians in order to keep the Palestinians far away from them. Are any of the other ideas being floated for the future of the area any less fantastical? There will be no Palestinian state if the residents of Gaza who mobbed the Jewish hostages with bloodlust in their eyes are the people who will form the political nucleus of such a state. And blubber not to me about the displacement of Gazans from their home. We've been told not that Gaza is their home but that it is a prison. Trump is offering Gazans a way out of prison; do they really want to stay in prison? Or does this mean it never really was a prison in the first place?
