Here come the slurs of Reform from the far left............ Had to be expected since they are doing so well in the polls

Are they? Not noticed it. I know you'd like to think they are.

Lighten up, calling out your double standards. It wasn't too early for you to say RIP for the Tories..........but to early to say it for Labour.

Too early to tell

RIP Labour https://x.com/OliLondonTV/status/1887820482008797675

The man with the plan. Professor Joseph Pelzman is the guy that sent the rebuilding of Gaza proposal to Trump. Its now been published online and its very interesting. Bit more about it here: DC prof sent Trump study on Gaza relocation, development in July An expert in economics and international relations and head of the university’s Center of Excellence for the Economic Study of the Middle East and North Africa (CEESMENA), Pelzman authored the plan and submitted it to Trump’s team as early as July 2024. “I figured, well, why don’t I write sort of an out-of-the-box perspective on how to fix Gaza after the war is finished,” Pelzman told Barda. “The paper went to the Trump people because they were the ones who initially had an interest in it – not the Biden people. I was asked [by Trump’s team] to think outside the box on what do we do after [the war], as nobody was really talking about it.” Moreover, because of the war that erupted following Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, the destruction in Gaza has become so extensive that it is beyond repair or reconstruction, according to the professor. In fact, according to Pelzman, no private or international investment entity would enter Gaza as things stand. “You have to restart it from scratch,” he told Barda. https://www.timesofisrael.com/the-man-with-the-plan-dc-prof-sent-trump-gaza-relocation-development-study-in-july/ An Economic Plan for Rebuilding Gaza: A BOT Approach The Hamas experiment, since Israel’s unilateral withdrawal from Gaza in 2005, has proven to be a complete failure. The reconstruction of Gaza after the October 7th Hamas invasion of Israel and year-long war between Israel and Hamas creates an opportunity to approach Gaza from a new paradigm based on a purely economic analysis. A computable general equilibrium (CGE) model presented in the paper is used to track a three-sector Gaza economy (tourism, agriculture and high tech) and will address alternative pathways for the development of this sovereign non-militarized green economy. https://www.skytopstrategies.com/capitalism-today-articles/an-economic-plan-for-rebuilding-gaza-a-bot-approach Plan/Study download https://ceesmena.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/An-Economic-Plan-for-Rebuilding-Gaza__A-BOT-Approach-_FINAL_July-21_2024.pdf

No misunderstanding, just you making unfounded claims that they were soldiers.

Here I go what? What has a topic from 16 years ago got to do with your claim that these 4 Israelis are soldiers?

I never asked you to argue, but you claimed they were soldiers, all you have to do is provide a link to that claim to start. That was your first claim. We can then get to the others

No thanks, you made a claim, you need to back it up.

Can you provide a link that they were soldiers? Because you've never heard of UK people banned does not mean it does not happen or any other nationality for that matter.

Can you provide a link to that claim? Can you provide a link that they were soldiers or had ever attended training?

I am sure he does, however most Palestinians do not want a two state solution New poll reveals most Palestinians don’t want two-state solution — support for two states plunging especially in Gaza Despite an aggressive push by U.S. President Joe Biden and other world leaders for Israel to accept the creation of a sovereign Palestinian state when the October 7th war ends, it is clear that most Palestinians do not support a two-state solution anymore. Only 32% of Palestinians support a two-state solution at this point, according to a new poll conducted by Dr. Khalil Shikaki, director of the well-respected Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PCPSR) based in Ramallah, the effective capital of the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank. Today, fully 65% of Palestinians oppose a two-state solution, the new survey revealed. https://allarab.news/new-poll-reveals-most-palestinians-dont-want-two-state-solution-support-for-two-states-plunging-especially-in-gaza/ Dim Outlook for Peace in the Middle East Hopes for resolution, two-state solution equally low in Israel, West Bank and East Jerusalem In the West Bank and East Jerusalem, enthusiasm for the two-state solution is equally as low among respondents as it is in Israel. Slightly over a quarter (28%) support it, compared with 64% who do not. This is largely unchanged compared with 2023, just before the Oct. 7 attacks and subsequent escalation. https://news.gallup.com/poll/650636/dim-outlook-peace-middle-east.aspx

Does military training do that for all countries that employ it or are you only referring to Israeli training?

This topic is not about a two state solution by the way, have you actually read it?

The Arab Peace Initiative included Iran as a signatory. The head of the snake. Besides which even though Israel were discussing talks Hamas then took over Gaza, all they wanted to do was strive for power and violence.

I think the OP needs to be read again by you Chomper

There is a Hamas and Israel war that Hamas started, not a PALESTINIAN WAR

This is not a fact............... Its the exact opposite

More lies, nobody is evicting anyone.

Just gloss over Hamas refusing then........................

UNRWA doesn't do human rights, they do have staff that work for Hamas and even some who kept hostages, along with another who took a dead Israeli body back to Gaza. Talking of UNRWA, Italy just refused to work with them to. Italian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister @Antonio_Tajani sends a strong message—Now more than ever, it’s clear— @UNRWA is not the solution; it’s the problem: “We don’t want to work with UNRWA, and we condemn the use of UNRWA offices as a prison for Israeli hostages.”

Its not had decades of occupation, stop the lies, Hamas has been in charge since 2007 and since then all they've done is rule with an iron fist, spent millions on tunnels, rockets, weapons and fighters to wipe Israel out. All money that was supposed to be helping the local Palestinians. There you go again making excuses for Oct 7th. Disgusting.

Hamas figures. Check the relevant topics for the facts
