Obviously, if anyone has payed any attention whatsoever to the news we’ve all heard about everything that has happened in Gaza. We’ve seen the videos on social media. We’ve all heard the accounts of what is happening to Palestine and the people who have been terrorized by the state of Israel. Seeing the video of a father holding up the decapitated body of his dead toddler with the refugee camp going up in flames around him is something I’m not likely to forget any time soon. It’s images like this that have shown people all over the world the extent of what is happening, and will continue to happen so long as those in positions of power look the other way.

But, leave it to none other than President Donald Trump to remind us that things are about to get even more genocidal and terrifying under his leadership.

When discussing Gaza recently, Trump said:

“It has to be rebuilt in a different way… Gaza is interesting. It’s a phenomenal location. On the sea. The best weather. Some beautiful things could be done with it…”
