It's kinda crazy how quickly and efficiently the IDF wiped out an entire culture and forced the survivors into a near permanent diaspora for long after the person that reads this dies of old age. There may be no way Palestinians will ever able to be allowed to rebuild their homes within our lifetimes.

They won't be able to. The Gaza strip was densely populated with a large number of apartment complexes. Those can't just be rebuilt.

The Gaza Palestinians still alive are either currently living out of tents with the hope that the bombings will eventually stop so they can have the opportunity to live in whatever gets built (they likely won't) or have already seeked refuge in another country.

Also, none of this is new. It's been happening for 80 years and has been in planning for over 100.

That Nazis liquidated Warsaw and it was rebuilt. Gaza can be rebuilt but the Zionist colony needs to be defeated.

Yeah, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Kobe all have thriving cities today. They're more modern cities compared to some of the other ones surrounding them. They don't have historic districts or buildings because all of those were destroyed. It's all "new" architecture, as in 1950s-era forwards. Berlin is another example like this.

I predict something similar here. Within a hundred years from now it will all be rebuilt with cutting-edge architecture. It'll look like some of the "new cities" on the Arabian peninsula, like Dubai, only newer.

The problem is, the people doing the construction and the people the construction is being done for won't be the Palestinians. If any are allowed to stay at all, it'll be as social pariahs who take out the trash and clean the toilets, and live in closet-sized apartments in tucked-away districts that will forever be known as the "bad" or "shitty" parts of town and receive very little funding or maintenance from the municipality.

For the most part though, what's built there will be for the overflow population from Tel Aviv. Maybe a few billionaires and multi-millionaires from the US and other countries. It'll be a fascist technostate, built with full surveillance state technology and a high level of control. Precisely what billionaires want. A paradise on the surface, a hell under the covers.

A bit of a ramble:It might even be the first of their neo-feudal corpo fiefdoms that they've been drooling about, unless the knesset insists on it belonging to them. Not sure which would be worse, honestly. Or even how much of a distinction there would be, as either way both will be working together on it...

Evangelicals in the US are probably imagining it will be the "New Jerusalem" from the book of revelation... I don't think they realize that what they're supporting is more akin to the anti-christ and the "merchants of babylon" from the same story...

I think they think the T in trump's name is the mark of the cross, but revelation says that they will be deceived and the anti-christ will use that symbol to mark the foreheads of his followers. It doesn't specify what the "true believers" will be marked with, but the Hebrew letter Tau (which means "mark") did not look like the Roman letter Tee.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist personally, but there are some eery parallels, and unfortunately this is what these people believe, and that's enough to make it real in some ways, especially when they're in positions of such power. Even if it's merely a self-fulfilling prophecy, it has a real effect on the world.

It reminds me of what another government did in the 40s...

The global systems we have now will have collapsed before they ever get the chance. Within 50 years, most nations will be gasping for any relief in the heat.

It might be prudent to engage a Canadian real estate company for some land on northern Baffin Island
