The last thing we need to be doing.
Forget rebuilding Gaza.
Republicans are facing a potential midterm wipeout and the administration unfortunately was dragged into a senseless project to rebuild Gaza by Steven Witkoff, Qatar, Turkey and assorted assets and enemy nations.
So I hope this report from the New York Times is wrong because this is the last thing Americans need to see.
The United Arab Emirates has pledged over $1 billion to President Trump’s “Board of Peace” for Gaza’s postwar future, according to two officials briefed on the board’s fund-raising efforts.
The United States has also committed more than $1 billion to the board’s projects in Gaza, the two officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the details of the pledges.
I hope this report is wrong, but the idea that we could do this without spending any of our own money was always a fantasy. Convening organizations, staffing them and holding meetings is already expensive.
Americans need to see President Trump rebuilding America. The last thing we need to do is to spend more blood and treasure to ‘rebuild’ yet another Islamic terrorist state.
One that hates us.

I guess the billion dollars for Gaza should be seen as an investment. The general idea is to make it look like a sort of Middle East Marshal Plan. However, on the intangible profits side of things, there’s the complete destruction of Hamas. On the Excel spreadsheet, that would go under the heading of ‘Prophet and loss’! :))

‘ this is the last thing Americans need to see.’,’ The last thing we need to do is to spend more blood and treasure to ‘rebuild’ yet another Islamic terrorist state”… ,So right you are Mr.Greenfield!
Rob Porter says
Well said. Increasing Trump, guided by the ‘as useless as the hind tit on a bull Witkoff’, is heading for a mid-term flop. Imagine this wondrous Gaza riviera being inhabited by the usual, hate-filled, violent, mentally mangled Muslims of Gaza andHamas. Trump is losing his marbles.

Must be a bunch of counterfeiters because congress shut down DHS for lack of funds.
Whatever happened to ‘charity begins at home’? What about the actual poor people of the States who are having a difficult time buying groceries and paying rent and student loans?
Why give the muzzie terrorists help? That’s just plain, downright, evil.
Peacelover says
I continue to wonder how much Trump really knows about Islam and it’s history. I know he’s an intelligent guy but I still wonder if he’s ever read an actual book on the topic. He should be reading Spencer’s books that’s for sure and other’s books. I know he’s a bust guy of course. I just wish he could spend some time with Mr. Spencer for a good teaching lesson(if Trump doesn’t know already what he should).

The best-suited people to rebuild Gaza are the Gazans. They could stop building tunnels and come up to the surface for a breath of fresh air. The last thing Americans need to do is spend more money to rebuild another Islamic terrorist State.

Yeah, we still have a floundering economy. Entry level jobs are just not there, thanks to AI, and at the other end, experienced people are being let go, b’cos their salaries are too high. Add to that companies betting big on AI and letting go of too many people, and in the process, destroying themselves
I know that he has an ego as big as all outdoors and won’t do it, but the president should give Israel a free hand to do anything and everything – from annexing Judea, Samaria and Gaza to toppling the Iranian regime. Israel can do it: all they need is US stopping our interference in their affairs – the most obnoxious being the president dinging the Israeli president for not pardoning Netanyahu (regardless of what one thinks of Bibi, that’s an internal matter of Israel, and none of our business). So let them, and let Trump, Vance, et al focus on figuring out how to deal w/ the employment situation given all the issues around AI
James Lincoln says
If both the United States and the United Arab Emirates are pledging to “rebuild Gaza”, just who are they rebuilding it for?
The “Hamas-lite” so-called Palestinians?

I don’t even think that the Palis are “Hamas-lite”. If you recall, when Hamas released the first batch of Israeli hostages last year, their fighters had to protect them from the jeering Pali crowds as they handed them over. Apparently, even Hamas is too moderate for the savages they rule over
tgusa says
Just one more instance in the we never learn saga. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Yep, that is our governmental (with an emphasis on mental) representation. Top men, I say, top men!
Gamzu says
Never have so many cared so much for a people less deserving than the Palestinians.
Walter Sieruk says
If that vicious tyranny which has of title of “The Islamic Republic of Iran” will continue to exist , let’s hope to God that it will not. . but if it does that tyrannical regime should pay for the rebuilding of Gaza. For it has sent many weapons to Hamas and conourged that horrific terror jihad group to attack Israel Which it did on October 7th 2023 ,which all its malice-filled demoniacal .might .
The Israel naturally had to strike back. Hamas to made matters even worse hid its weapons of its jihad centers in children’s schools and hospitals which which furthered more death and destruction.
So if those despots and their still exist in the near future ,hopefully not , but if so that that tyranny pay for rebuilding Gaza since it had kept supplying Hamas with deadly weapons.
Andrew Blackadder says
The mega rich islamic Kingdoms in the Middle East think of a Billion Bucks as chump change so lets see them pony up the cash needed to rebuild one of their own religious countries.
Why is it always American money to rebuild a country after a War and why is it always young Americans fighting and dying for other countries.
Saudi,Kuwait,Qatar, UAE, Morocco all have US Troops in their countries to protect them from whomever their enemies are but how many US Troops are on the Borders of America protecting Americans from people who have openly told us what they think of us and what they wish to do to us.

Witkoff is a total disaster.
OLD GUY says
Can’;t say I’m a fan of spending billions of American tax dollars to rebuild what they tore down. I’d like to see that money used for fixing the pot holes, mental health, housing for our veterans and increasing social security rather than any plan to help any foreign country. Especially a country that will do it again given the opportunity.
Stop giving support to our ENEMY. If you want to give money away overseas at least pick a country that the natives and its leaders don’t hate us and want us dead.

“Report Claims U.S. Pledged $1,000,000,000 to Rebuild Gaza”
Utter nonsense. I wonder how many billionares its going to hatch this time?
With everybody virtue signaling about rebuilding Gaza we may see a world first – a trillionaire
Israel should have just annexed during the war there instead of leaving it as a cancerous enclave and a possible fraud scheme that will eclipse the Somalian fraud scheme.

They banned me from Truth Social. They didn’t like my Islamophobia. LOL

Aren’t you allowed on @X?
David Lakatos says
I’m not really a big fan of big tech. I’ve been banned from Facebook for 10 years now. I quit signing up for all these sites a long time ago. They screw up your passwords, and you’re left in limbo. I had it happen to me too many times.
David Lakatos says
I guess you could say I don’t trust big Tech any more than I would trust a Muslim, and that is zero.
