Trump is too ignorant to know facts or history. Or care about justice, of course. He's knowingly spewing the right-wing Israeli line of how Israel "gave up" Gaza - which actually was never rightfully Israel's so the "giving up" claim is bullshit.

They gave up oceanfront property? Gaza was never part of Israel. The presence of 5,000 or illegal Jewish settlers in Gaza did not confer any "oceanfront" rights or rights to the land. It was an illegal occupation that ended.

While it lasted, and true to form, those settlers in Gaza, with the help of the IDF, took for themselves over a third of Gaza's territory. While Gaza's Palestinian population at the time of nearly two million (?) was squeezed into the remaining two-thirds.

Hideous settlers and their illegal colonies. Eff Israrel's expansionism on other peoples' lands.
