The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

So that's the fix - they buy off Trump with the economic matters, and they get to run the area how they see fit as long as they don't step on what Trump views as important to him/U.S.

Trump has been expressing his (drippy) dream of Gaza being a hotel and resort complex. He is following speculation by the first son-in-law, that was talking about how valuable that land would be, if the Pals were "cleaned out".

Meanwhile "Bibi" has a base that wants Gaza and the west bank annexed. He said a Gaza government that included Hamas is unacceptable. A Gaza government that includes the PA is unacceptable. A Palestine on the west bank is unacceptable. But he was gushing about Trump today. So Trump is CEO of Gaza.

iirc, a few years ago, Kushner was a key player in a "deal" that bought off some Arab powers, to throw the Pals under the bus.

I don't expect the Pals to be well treated.
