Related: About this forumEgypt, Jordan Reject Trump Plan to "Clean Out" Gaza; Palestinians Return to N. Gaza in Historic Day
As survivors in Gaza begin to return to their homes during the first ceasefire in over a year, we speak to Sharif Abdel Kouddous of Drop Site News about the future of those who have been displaced. As Palestinians are "returning to a devastated landscape determined not to leave their land" in defiance of "plans of ethnic cleansing that have dated back to the 1950s for Israel," President Trump told reporters that he wants to "clean out" Gaza, suggesting that Palestinian Arabs should be ethnically cleansed into Egypt and Jordan. Both countries have "rejected this, and they've done so since the beginning of this genocidal assault," says Kouddous.

destruction, bombing and killing. They didn't win with their plan to develop valuable waterfront properties for their elite.

all in the service of mammon.
If they don't think of the Palestinian peoples humanity, they don't really think of anyone's, and we all become expendable in the name of the PTB's self serving interest.

(2,155 posts)5. Gaza is no longer viable for human habitation.
Everything necessary to sustain human life for a couple million people has been destroyed.
There is no water. No infrastructure, medical care. Nothing.
What is going to happen now became an inevitability many, many months ago.
Letting them "back" is nothing but a charade and what's been done is vile beyond anything I've seen.
